Chi Ming was the wisest among them; once you enter someone else's territory, you have to be subject to their control.
Furthermore, they had run out of food and fuel in their RV, and if they really offended these people, they would truly face certain death.
Chi Ming pushed his complaining wife and roaring father aside and said to Li Jianguo outside the door, "It's good that there's food."
Chi Ming has remained silent ever since he was rescued.
Seeing that he had finally spoken, Chen Zhou asked him, "Now can you tell me where the masked man's stronghold is?"
Chi Ming nodded first, then made a terrible face: "I accidentally threw away the phone I just used to download the map..."
This is cheating!!!
Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo unconsciously frowned.
Li Jianguo coldly threatened Chi Ming through the iron gate, "Don't try to play tricks on us. We can let you in just as easily as we can let you out!!!"
Chi Ming smiled at Li Jianguo: "I threw away my phone, but I still remember all the routes. I know the way. If you really want to go to that place, I can lead the way."
Shen Zhou thought Chi Ming was too shrewd.
He decided to discuss it with Yu Yang and the others before making a decision, and then pulled Li Jianguo away, saying, "Let's talk about it tomorrow after we've confirmed your safety."
After Chen Zhou and the others left.
Chi Ming led his family to a reasonably decent room on the top floor.
Wen Qianqian covered her nose and frowned, complaining, "How can anyone live in a place like this? There's not even water, how are we supposed to take a bath or have any other conveniences?"
Because they have money.
Previously, Chi Ming was very indulgent towards Wen Qianqian, who had given birth to a son for the Chi family.
But ever since they were forced to abandon the villa on the hillside by those people wearing ghost masks and drove away, Wen Qianqian has been complaining the whole way.
Chi Ming was very troubled.
The combined pressure from his earlier confrontation with the residents of the neighborhood finally caused him to explode, yelling at Wen Qianqian, "If you're not satisfied, go back to the street!!!"
Chi Ming is the president of a listed real estate company.
She usually manages her emotions very well.
He rarely yells at his family.
This startled not only Wen Qianqian, but also Chi Haoyu, who had just casually found a chair to sit down and play games after entering the room.
Chi Haoyu looked at Old Man Chi with a pitiful expression: "Grandpa...!!!"
It's said that grandparents love their grandchildren more, and Old Man Chi was no exception. He slapped his son hard on the back: "Why is your wife being so mean to my grandson!"
Chi Ming always felt that his father spoiled Chi Haoyu too much: "Dad, you can't protect Haoyu every time he's wronged. You can't do this without even knowing the facts!!!"
Old Man Chi angrily asked Chi Ming, "He's my grandson! If I don't protect him, who else will I protect? I haven't even said anything to you yet! You know perfectly well that those people wearing ghost masks are no good, so how could you say you'd go with them to find them? Our whole family is counting on you now! If anything happens to you, how will we survive?!"
Chi Ming was getting a headache from his father's nagging.
But since the other party was his own father, he could only endure it and had to painstakingly explain to the old man: "I didn't want to take this risk, but their goal is the masked man's stronghold. I was afraid that they would kick us out after they got it, so I only let them take a look and then threw the phone away."
At this moment, Wen Qianqian finally couldn't help but ask, "We've been living together for the past six months, honey, how did you know where those strongholds are?"
In front of his family, Chi Ming made no attempt to hide anything: "I had no idea that the phone I threw away was the one I secretly recorded when those people came to our hillside villa that day."
Wen Qianqian and Old Man Chi were both surprised after hearing this.
After the surveillance cameras detected an intruder at their villa that day, Chi Ming dragged them away in a car through the underground garage, right?
Wen Qianqian asked in surprise, "When did you film this video? How come I didn't know?"
That day, Chi Ming told Wen Qianqian to pack her things and leave, but after packing for a long time, all Wen Qianqian took were cosmetics and clothes.
Chi Ming was furious at the time, but he never expected that she would have the nerve to ask again now.
Chi Ming said irritably, "When you were packing your cosmetics!!!"
The three of them were chatting animatedly, while Chi Haoyu kept his head down, playing on his phone the whole time, as if nothing could bother him.
Old Man Chi realized what was going on and became extremely worried: "You don't even know how to lead the way. What will we do if these people find out you're playing them for a fool?"
Chi Ming shrugged indifferently: "I told you our house was their stronghold, but they moved away. They can't blame me for that, can they?"
Old Man Chi was still worried: "Will they kick us out when you come back?"
Chi Ming said, "That's why I need to follow them and gradually gain their trust on the way. You all also need to remember to speak less and do more in the neighborhood during this period, especially to help Wen Qianqian change her spoiled princess temper!"
Old Man Chi had no objection to his son divorcing his wife and remarrying; he even believed that successful men should have multiple wives and concubines. However, after the marriage, Wen Qianqian, relying on her youth and beauty, not only bewitched her son but also repeatedly urged him to send him back to his hometown. He had actually disliked Wen Qianqian for a long time, and coldly glared at her: "You're just a lowly office worker earning less than three thousand a month. You've had a few good days with my son, and now you're acting all high and mighty!!!"
...
The next day, Shen Zhou and his team still decided to take Chi Ming to the base.
