Old Zheng's assistant gave a dry laugh. Although he thought so, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Qu Chaowu expressed his current emotions with a "hehe".
He wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for this person, but the cold expression on his face was enough to make one's heart tremble.
Qu Chaowu thought to himself that if Shi Lingheng hadn't instructed him, he would never have wanted to come here to meet Old Zheng.
Unlike his assistant, he wasn't going to be polite. He started knocking on the door, and Gu Wenyan, hearing the sound and Qu Chaowu's voice, opened the door.
Old Zheng and A Yang were also brought back to their senses by the commotion. Who knew that when they looked up, they would see Qu Chaowu standing at the door with a half-smile on his face.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes...
Since Shi Lingyun's accident, Qu Chaowu has never been seen setting foot in this place again...
"Researcher Qu?"
Qu Chaowu ignored the two of them, his gaze falling on Fan Xiaofan, scanning him up and down...
Fan Xiaofan blinked, somewhat confused about Qu Chaowu's actions. However, Qu Chaowu nodded, then waved and left without saying anything.
It's like checking off a location, completing a task, and then taking a quick stroll before leaving.
Old Zheng and A Yang looked at Fan Xiaofan, their eyes seeming to ask her, "What is your relationship with Qu Chaowu?"
Fan Xiaofan shook her head and shrugged; she couldn't understand what was going on either...
Qu Chaowu diligently and responsibly came here for a stroll every day at the same time, repeating the same routine, which left Old Zheng and the others completely bewildered.
Fan Xiaofan: "..."
She didn't know either.

This is Fangjia Village.
Since their last conversation, when Shi Lingheng saw Dr. Fang again, he acted just like a patient, as if nothing had happened.
Dr. Fang remained a quiet person, coming to see patients and leaving every day.
Village Chief Fang wanted to find an opportunity to take action against Shi Lingheng and his group, but he hadn't had the chance. However, Shi Lingheng and his group couldn't leave for the time being, so there was no need to be in a hurry.
The woman whom Shi Lingheng and his group called "Big Sister" lazily said, "What's there to be afraid of? Just take action..."
Village Chief Fang glanced at her and said, "How can you make it sound so easy? Those dozen or so are strong men. Our village can take them down in one go, but if even one of them runs away, how will we clean up the mess? If we're going to do it, we should do it cleanly."
The woman curled her lip and said, "It's the middle of nowhere out here. They don't know the way at all. It would be strange if they made it out alive."
Village Chief Fang exhaled a smoke ring and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry."
He then looked at Dr. Fang, who had been sitting silently to the side, and asked, "How is his condition?"
Dr. Fang was always a man of few words, only speaking when asked. The villagers were used to it. Hearing the village chief's words, he adjusted his glasses and said, "He'll be fine in a few more days..."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Fang tapped the ash off his long pipe and said, "Try to slow down his recovery. Since it's not feasible to act within the village, let's do it outside the village..."
Dr. Fang simply responded with an "oh".
Village Chief Fang and his group had no intention of letting Shi Lingheng and his companions leave peacefully, and Shi Lingheng's people were constantly looking for opportunities to inquire about what was happening in the village...
Unfortunately, this matter cannot be rushed, otherwise, if one person is alerted, the whole village will be in cahoots, and everything will be ruined.
