When they were outside the city, they met up with Shuanzi and the others. They went to Shi County first, bringing the people Sister Lan was in contact with. They also met Zhang Hewu and took Zhang Hewu with them without saying a word.
When Zhang Hewu saw Lu Ran, he was pulled into the car before he could even ask a question. He was a little confused: "Where are we going? Lu Ran and Rongya are probably in danger. Shitou has been captured. She is probably going to rescue Shitou alone now."
"I understand. Now we have to go save people." Lu Ran was using a flashlight to illuminate the map in his hand and discussing things with Shuanzi and Sister Lan's people.
Zhang Hewu felt relieved, but soon became nervous again: "Do you know where they went? Where did they go?"
"I don't know." Lu Ran shook his head, "But we have a clue now."
Shuanzi quickly explained the situation to Zhang Hewu and introduced them: "These are Sister Lan's people from the black market. They have their own way of leaving traces. We are now tracking them based on these clues."
It's just because it's night time, so tracking is a little more difficult than during the day. Their people can only stand at the car window and Sister Lan's people have to get out of the car to identify each other when they reach the intersection.
Zhang Hewu was surprised. He hadn't expected Lu Ran to know someone like him, and even more surprised that Rong Ya was so deeply involved with the black market. He could tell this wasn't Rong Ya's first time searching the black market; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so familiar with the route, finding someone and leaving so quickly.
But it was good, at least there was a clue. Ever since he knew that Shitou was missing, and then Rongya disappeared soon after, he was worried like an ant on a hot pot. The scary thing was not that Rongya went to look for someone, but that they had no idea where Rongya had gone. They couldn't help her even if they tried, so they were anxious.
Now that they had a clue, even if they were anxious, they had a direction. He hoped to find Rongya as soon as possible, but Rongya had left several hours earlier than them, so he didn't know when she would catch up.
"Lu Ran, I have three guesses. The person who took the stone this time could be an enemy of your family. They captured the stone to lure Rong Ya over so they can deal with you and the Lu family. Second, they could be an enemy of our Zhang family. I've counted our family members, and except for Zhang Xinglian, no one else has the ability to do this."
Speaking of this cousin, Zhang Hewu felt that this woman was quite strange. She could seduce Cao Yimin and even get into the provincial capital university. She was quite capable. Therefore, the only one capable of such a mischief was Zhang Xinglian. It was possible that Zhang Xinglian had other helpers, but it was hard to say. Before getting on the bus, he thought it might be someone who hated their family and Rongya. But after getting on the bus, he felt that only someone like Zhang Xinglian could have the ability to cause trouble outside the Hongyun Production Team, the town, and even the county.
So now he has a more thorough understanding of Zhang Xinglian.
"I've thoroughly investigated Zhang Xinglian," Lu Ran said with a cold look in his eyes. "I've had people trying to lure her people out. She has no one left to rely on. However, there's still one possibility..."
The reason he kept Zhang Xinglian around was, firstly, to get to the bottom of all the mess. Secondly, to investigate her activities and the people she was involved with. Especially after learning that she had memories of her past life, he became even more cautious. He kept her around not just to wait for Zhang Xinglian to go crazy.
What he was most worried about was that Zhang Xinglian might use her memories of her previous life to contact some people or forces that others didn't know about, so he didn't dare to be careless.
