She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Liu Xiaocao always felt that someone was staring at her whenever she went out. She didn't dare to go directly to He Zhengchu, but went to Wang's cloth shop instead.
Liu Xiaocao had known Shopkeeper Li a long time ago. She often came to buy cloth, silk thread and other things. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other and would chat when they occasionally met.
"Mrs. Niu is here. What kind of cloth would you like?"
"I want to buy some fine cotton cloth and some cotton to make winter clothes for the children. Children are in the growing stage and need more clothes than adults." Liu Xiaocao said while winking at Manager Li.
Shopkeeper Li replied calmly, "You've arrived just in time. We have a few pieces of cotton cloth in the warehouse that have been soaked in water, and I was just planning to sell them at a lower price. Soaking cotton cloth in water doesn't really affect anything. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"That's great, I'll go check it out!"
The two of them went to the backyard, and Shopkeeper Li found a deserted spot and asked, "Sister-in-law Niu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Xiaocao looked around and whispered, "Hong Bao from the Dayuan Carriage Company is not a good person. He kidnapped Yuan Chen's family and hid them in his home. Hong Bao wanted my husband to trick Zheng Chu into coming to my house..."
The more Shopkeeper Li listened, the more frightened he became, but he didn't interrupt Liu Xiaocao. After Liu Xiaocao finished speaking, he spoke, "Sister-in-law Niu is so righteous! I'll go tell Lord He right away."
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Li!"
Not everyone can sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice. Shopkeeper Li comforted him, "Master Kang and Master He are not people who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Sister-in-law Niu and Brother Niu will certainly be punished, but I believe that Master Kang and Master He will not harm anyone else in the Niu family."
If that's the case, that's great! Liu Xiaocao forced a smile, "I believe in the girl too. Shopkeeper Li, you must be careful when you go. On the way here, I always felt that someone was following me."
Liu Xiaocao returned home with two pieces of cotton cloth. More than an hour later, Manager Li found an excuse to leave the shop.
Kang Yuanchen was a very hardworking boss. He never refused to come to work without being asked to do so. And Kang Yuanwu didn't come either.
After work yesterday, Han Xiu went to Kang Yuanchen's house. The door was closed, but it opened easily. Looking at the empty house, Han Xiu felt a little uneasy.
This morning, he went to Kang Yuanchen's house again, but still no one was there. After leaving Kang Yuanchen's house, he went to look for He Zhengchu.
Even if the matter was urgent, the whole family wouldn't disappear without a word. He Zhengchu took Han Xiu to the government office to report the case.
When Manager Li found He Zhengchu, He Zhengchu had just returned from the government office with Han Xiu. He repeated Liu Xiaocao's words and finally asked He Zhengchu if there was anything else he could help with.
Saving lives is definitely the top priority, but saving lives alone is not enough. He Zhengchu said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Li, for coming to report this. The fewer people involved, the better. Shopkeeper Li, please just pretend you don't know."
Shopkeeper Li stood up and said goodbye, "Okay, if you need my help, feel free to come find me in the shop." He also knew that He Zhengchu had good intentions. After all, he had the Wang family behind him, and it would definitely be troublesome if he got involved.
Fan Erhu was very worried about Fan Yao and asked anxiously, "Master He, when will you go to rescue them?"
"Let's go now! Please ask you and Brother Han to call a few guys to go to Hong Bao's house to rescue him."
Han Xiu asked He Zhengchu, "What about you?"
He Zhengchu's eyes flashed coldly, "I'm going to go see Niu Dayan."
After both parties agreed, they took their own actions.
He Zhengchu asked Chai Shibo for a dozen guards and went to the Dayuan Carriage Company.
Niu Dayan looked at He Zhengchu, feeling inexplicably guilty. He smiled and greeted him as usual, "Zhengchu, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"What's something you don't know? Manager Niu!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about, should I know?"
He Zhengchu waved his hand, and the guards rushed into the carriage shop, captured Hong Bao and his two servants, and brought the three of them before Niu Dayan.
He asked Niu Dayan, "Does Manager Niu know why I'm here now?"
The truth was revealed? But how did it come to light?
Niu Dayan and Hong Bao pointed at each other and said at the same time, "You betrayed me!"
Hong Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Niu Dayan, you are really a good dog to Kang Yueran."
Niu Dayan immediately retorted, "Don't make random accusations. I didn't say that."
"If not you, who else could it be? Have you been lying to me all this time?"
"I didn't lie to you, I..."
"Shut up!" He Zhengchu interrupted the two. He pointed at Hong Bao and the other two and said to the guards, "Send them to the government office and hand them over to Lord He."
Six guards escorted Hong Bao and the other two away.
He Zhengchu looked at Niu Dayan and suddenly didn't want to say anything. "Don't call me Niu Dayan anymore. Change back to Niu Dayan. Don't taint the name the girl gave you."
"I'm sorry, girl. I..."
"You don't have to explain to me, and I don't want to hear it." After saying that, He Zhengchu turned and left.
Niu Dayan was terrified and chased after her for more than ten steps before stopping. He knew Kang Yueran well, and Kang Yueran hated betrayal the most.
Niu Eryan and Niu Sanyan ran over and asked anxiously, "Brother, what happened?"
Niu Dayan didn't answer. He turned and looked at the signboard of the Dayuan Carriage Company, then glanced around at the people watching the excitement. He felt powerless. He knew he had lost, and the Dayuan Carriage Company was finished.
On the other side, Han Xiu and his companions successfully rescued Kang Yuanchen's family. After sending them home, they called a doctor. The doctor took their pulse and said that they were fine.
