Dongshan Yuhua scenic spot.

Hua Bozhen stayed in the Weng family's garden for another night.

He tossed and turned last night and found Weng Fan early in the morning to ask him whether the bandits had released the hostages.

Weng Fan had not received any news either, so he asked Hua Bozheng to wait for a moment and he would ask someone.

"The deadline has come, and Miss Jiang hasn't come back yet." Hua Bozheng didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, but the other party was really unreasonable, and he couldn't suppress his anger.

I came to negotiate in person on behalf of the Hua family, am I so shameless?

Hua Bozhen spoke sternly for the first time, "Over the years, the Han family has never caused trouble or created any disputes, and has always yielded even when they were right. But if your Chamber of Commerce really thinks that you can turn a deaf ear to the words of my Hua family, then you are totally wrong!"

"How could that be? What are you thinking, brother?" Weng Fan felt a headache and said all the nice things he could. He also promised to go out and question him in person and give him an explanation.

After calming down Hua Bozheng, whose patience had run out, Weng Fan ordered his men to prepare a car and personally rushed to Songjia Bay on the north side of the mountain.

Mr. Liu’s manor in Dongshan was built there.

~~

"Where's Liu Zhengqi? Tell him to come out and see me!"

Weng Fan jumped off the carriage and walked straight into the garden gate without waiting for notification.

How dare the Liu family's servants stop the president's son? They quickly ran in to inform their master.

Mr. Liu hadn't slept all night. He came out with dark circles under his eyes, wearing a mid-length shirt and slippers.

"What the hell did you do?!" Weng Fan blew his beard and glared, scolding him like he was scolding his son: "My father took the blame for you, and you do things like this?! It's already this time? Why haven't you brought the person back yet?"

"What are you yelling about?" Mr. Liu was even more anxious than him, jumping up and down, "My son went to look for her yesterday. He should have come back before dawn, but there's still no sign of her!"

"Oh?" Weng Fan was stunned. "Did something happen?"

"How would I know?" Liu Yuanwai said with a sad face, "He went with Steward Wang. Normally, no matter what happened, Steward Wang would send back the news as soon as possible."

"That's not good..." Weng Fan frowned and asked, "Did you send someone again?"

"Only Lao Wang and I know that place, so how can we tell the servants casually?" Mr. Liu said in a low voice.

"Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Weng Fan said anxiously, "The Hua family is getting anxious with me. If you don't bring the person back today, my father will have no choice but to hand you over!"

"No, please don't, I'll go right away!" Mr. Liu was terrified. If people knew that he had colluded with the pirates and kidnapped Miss Jiang, it would be hard to say what else, but he would definitely not be able to be the vice president.

Having said that, Mr. Liu ran out without even bothering to change his clothes.

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Weng Fan followed. Thinking that he would have to face Hua Bozhen's wrath if he went back, he might as well go to the scene and see what happened.

~~

At noon, the two men arrived at Dalei Island with dozens of bodyguards.

Mr. Liu pointed to the reed-covered island ahead and said uncertainly, "It should be here, but I've never been here."

"Drive in." Weng Fan urged impatiently.

The sailors carefully steered the boat into the reeds, fearing that any hidden arrows might be shot out.

Fortunately, we arrived at the dock safely.

Mr. Liu was dumbfounded. "Why is there no boat?"

"Where is the human figure here?" Weng Fan looked at the dead silent forest. "Did you get to the wrong place?"

"Let's go down and take a look." Mr. Liu urged several bodyguards to get off the boat and check.

A few people dawdled down and wandered around the island for a meal, then came back with a few broken limbs.

"Boss, there were indeed some pirates living here, but they were taken over last night."

The bodyguard held the severed hand and arm in front of the two men. "These were all cut off by a knife. It looks like it happened last night."

"Ah!" Mr. Liu looked pale and sat down on the deck. "My son arrived here last night."

As he spoke, he looked up and complained to Weng Fan, "You killed my son."

"It's none of my business. Did I ask your son to come here?" Weng Fan rolled his eyes and asked the bodyguards, "How many people died? Have you found the bodies of Master Liu and Steward Wang?"

"The ground is covered in blood, but no bodies were found. Only these things were found." The bodyguard pointed to the woods and said, "They must have been taken away."

"Could it be that the pirates suffered a loss and escaped?" Weng Fan asked.

"The pirates wanted to escape, but they didn't care about the bodies?" The bodyguard shook his head, unable to hide his regret. "There was nothing valuable left. Even the warehouse was emptied out. It seemed like they were wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Who has such great power?" Weng Fan frowned and asked, "The soldiers from Huzhou Prefecture? Or did the Xiang family take action?"

If there is any movement in Suzhou Prefecture, he will definitely know about it.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "The Xiang family is busy taking care of themselves, and it is unlikely that the Huzhou government will intervene in this matter."

"Oh, my son..." Liu Zhengqi couldn't help crying. It was obvious that his precious son was in great danger.

"Why are you crying?" Weng Fan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Such a big thing can't just go away quietly like this. There must be something else going on!"

Then he ordered, "Go to Suzhou City!"

~~

The ship then left Dalei Island and headed for Suzhou.

They were taking the same route that Zhao Hao and his team took to Xishan Island.

The journey was smooth and much faster than the way here. We reached the west mountain top in just one hour.

After passing Laoshu Mountain, the boat will turn northwest, leave Taihu Lake from Xujiang River and go directly to Suzhou City.

As the ship was about to turn, Mr. Liu, who was silently wiping tears at the bow, habitually looked up towards his hometown.

He was from Liandu, Xishan, and from here he could clearly see the five green peaks of his hometown.

"Huh?" Mr. Liu was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Weng Fan, who was lying on a mat basking in the sun, lifted up his hat and asked.

"Is there anyone in Dasheng Bay?" Mr. Liu asked curiously.

"Oh?" Weng Fan stood up, put his hands on the awning and looked over. As expected, he saw a cluster of masts vaguely appearing in the crescent-shaped bay. "Are they taking shelter from the wind?"

"What a nice day." Mr. Liu rolled his eyes at Weng Fan.

"Could it be..." Weng Fan looked at Mr. Liu and thought of a possibility.

"Are these the people who did it?" Mr. Liu was horrified.

"I'm afraid so." Weng Fan nodded.

Dasheng Bay is on the route to Suzhou, and any movement of the ship cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce.

They were completely unaware that a fleet had occupied the place.

Xishan and Dongshan are less than ten miles apart. Could Dongshan be the next target of the unknown fleet?

Their entire family is still in Dongshan!

Weng Fan quickly gave orders to flee this terrifying area at full speed.

Mr. Liu could no longer care about his beloved son. His life was at stake, so he had better report to the police immediately!

ps. This is the third update of the weekend, so I won’t update today :)
