The villagers were talking all at once.
Some people are curious about what exactly happened to the Gu family.
Some people were curious about who came today, while others sympathized with the Gu family's plight.
Of course, some people were gloating.
After thinking it over, the village chief decided that he should report it to the police.
This is no longer something he can solve.
"Go, call the police. Take the family bicycle there, and be quick," the village chief urged his eldest son, Gu Wendong, who was standing nearby.
Gu Wendong knew the urgency of the situation, so he quickly pushed through the crowd and went out.
When Gu Dashan returned from the mountains, he saw the village chief smoking a pipe in front of their house from afar, looking very worried.
"Village chief, why are you smoking your pipe in front of my house?"
From afar, Gu Dashan called out.
When the village chief saw Gu Dashan return, he stood up and told him to hurry up.
Gu Dashan quickened his pace, looking bewildered. "What's wrong...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw several neighbors helping to tidy up their belongings. Although some things had been tidied up, the place was still quite messy.
Gu Dashan's face immediately darkened: "What's wrong?"
"Did your family offend someone? A group of people just came and took your wife Yang Dongmei and your eldest and second eldest sons away. We don't know who else they took with them. When we arrived after receiving the news, they were all gone, and there was only a mess left."
Gu Dashan frowned deeply, his whole demeanor gloomy and terrifying.
He went inside to check and saw that his kind neighbors were helping them assemble the bed.
He suddenly thought of something.
Do you know what the leader looks like?
At this time, everyone gradually returned from work.
Someone replied, "I saw a group of people come in. The leader was very fat and not tall, probably only about 1.6 meters. There were two young men next to him who were a little taller than him. The rest of the people were all as tall as your third son."
"Yes, yes, yes," several people echoed.
At this point, Gu Dashan could guess who was behind it.
"Dashan, has your family offended anyone?" the village chief asked again.
Gu Dashan didn't answer. Instead, he asked the village chief to take care of his house while he rushed out.
"Wen Dong has already reported it to the police."
The village chief shouted at Gu Dashan's retreating figure.
Gu Dashan waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
Jiang Jinhua went back to rest at noon, and as usual, he went to the Gu family home to visit his sister.
But when he arrived at the Gu family home and saw their condition, his heart pounded with anxiety.
Xiao Hei also became very irritable, sniffing around and barking as it did so.
A little while later, it started tugging at Jiang Jinhua's trouser leg and pulling him outside.
Before long, the man and the dog disappeared as well.
After receiving the news, Gu's uncle and aunt rushed to the Gu family home to help pack their things.
Gu Xiliang wanted to help find the person, but was stopped by his uncle.
He wouldn't let him go.
After all, if he goes now, he won't know that Jiang Jinhua and the others have gone.
In the end, Gu Xiliang had no choice but to stay with his parents at the Gu family home to help pack and organize things, waiting for the rest of the Gu family to return.
The wait was long and agonizing.
When Gu Wenxi arrived at the police station to report the crime, he happened to run into Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu, who were also at the Public Security Bureau.
"Xichen, what are you doing here? Something's happened to your family. A group of people..."
Gu Wenxi recounted everything that had happened in the Gu family.
Jiang Jinxiu listened with trepidation, while Gu Xichen's brows furrowed more and more, and the air pressure around him continued to drop.
Even the police officers standing nearby were shocked. Who were these people, acting so brazenly?
Without delay, Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu left the police station immediately after hearing Gu Wenxi's description.
The leader he described was someone they knew all too well.
The police also dispatched personnel to accompany them outside.
The Zhu family's house is located in a small alley on the east side of Punan Town.
At this moment, they were tying Gu Laoda and Gu Laoer to a cross in the yard and preparing to whip them.
Yang Dongmei, Sun Xiaomeng, and Xiao Fangfang were locked in a room. They had already found a buyer, and someone would come to take them away in an hour.
Tying them up in the yard was meant to show others that the Zhu family was not to be trifled with.
People nearby peeked out and saw this scene, and they all went inside and locked the doors.
They were afraid that the Zhu family would cause trouble for them.
Just as Boss Zhu was about to hit someone with his whip.
Suddenly someone ran in and told them that the police were on their way.
Zhu Dachang, Zhu Laoda, and Zhu Laoer exchanged glances.
Arrange for people to move the Gu family members to the basement immediately.
Even the thugs were told to hide in the basement for the time being and not to come out.
They had just finished making arrangements when there was a knock on the door.
The group quickly composed themselves and put on smiles.
But the moment they opened the door and saw only an old man, their expressions immediately changed.
Because they all recognized the people in front of them, the Gu family, Gu Dashan, whom they had met before.
More precisely, he beat up both Zhu Laoda and Zhu Laoer.
Where are my family members?
"Are you out of your mind, old man? If you're looking for your family, go home and look for them. We don't have any here," Zhu Lao Er retorted directly.
Gu Dashan didn't waste words with them. He kept an eye on the sounds inside the room, but at this moment, there were no unusual noises.
He peered warily into the Zhu family's house, and just as he was about to say something, the sound of dogs barking came from afar.
He looked back and saw Jiang Jinhua, panting heavily, and Xiao Hei running ahead of him.
The three members of the Zhu family, father and sons, also saw the person and dog that had come.
Especially Zhu Laoda and Zhu Laoer, their first reaction upon seeing Xiao Hei was to hide behind Zhu Dachang: "Why is it this dog again?"
Then he said to Zhu Dachang, "Dad, how could we forget about this dog?"
At this moment, Zhu Dachang also felt some regret. He had only been focused on seeking revenge against the Gu family and had forgotten that they had such a dog.
If he had known, he wouldn't have let those thugs hide in the basement.
Although they were now three against three, it was clear that a single dog had frightened his two sons.
Xiao Hei continued running forward regardless, and after reaching the Zhu family's house, he tackled Zhu Dachang, who was blocking the entrance, and continued running inside.
He kept shouting as he ran, and would occasionally look back to see if Jiang Jinhua was keeping up.
Gu Dashan and Jiang Jinhua understood perfectly well that the person was definitely inside.
But they rushed in regardless, fearing it might be a trap.
According to the village chief and the others, there were more than a dozen of them.
Now that the location has been decided, they just want to plan for the long term.
People need to be rescued, but only if their safety is guaranteed.
