Chapter 248 It’s on fire

At night, Yuan Xiao had just fallen asleep when she heard someone knocking on the door frantically.

Gu Lanting held her down, “I’ll go.”

Yuan Xiao sat on the bed and waited. As soon as she opened the door, she heard Zhou Fang’s voice: “Lanting, it’s on fire!”

Yuan Xiao hurriedly got off the bed, “On fire? Where is it on fire?”

Zhou Fang’s face was covered with tears, “The grain warehouses in Dayang Village and several nearby villages are on fire!”

“Didn’t the grain in Dayang Village have been weighed? Why are they still put together?” Gu Lanting asked coldly.

Zhou Fang choked up: "They said that the leader would come to inspect after the later data was reported, so we put it aside for now."

Yuan Xiao hurriedly called out to the single dog in his heart: "Didn't you say that the protective cover is fireproof?"

The single dog said: "You only said to protect the food, but not the house!"

Yuan Xiao was stunned: "You mean, the food will be fine?"

The single dog snorted, "Of course not!"

Yuan Xiao was still worried, "Auntie, don't be afraid, you take the baby home first, Lan Ting and I will go to take a look."

After that, she went into the bathroom to change clothes.

Gu Lan Ting and Yuan Xiao went straight to Dayang Village. When they arrived at Dayang Village, not only the warehouse where the food was stored was burned, but also several houses around it, with flames rising to the sky.

Fortunately, those houses had been uninhabited for a long time, otherwise it would be a sin.

"Uncle Yongsheng, what happened?"

Lin Yongsheng looked gloomy, his eyes were red, "It's gone, everything is gone! Such a big fire, it can't be put out! Those bastards, they put gasoline!"

"Have the arsonists been caught?"

Lin Yongsheng spat, "Some escaped, some were caught, all are from Dalan Village, those beasts!"

Yuan Xiao's heart was a little shaky, now he could only pray that the single dog's protective shield is effective.

"Maybe... maybe the food is fine, let's wait and see."

Lin Yongsheng burst into tears, "Such a big fire, how can it be fine!"

Yuan Xiao didn't know how to explain, he could only hold his hands and remain silent.

Gu Lanting was about to go over to help, but Yuan Xiao held his hand, "Just put out the fire, the food will be fine."

Gu Lanting raised an eyebrow at her, and Yuan Xiao nodded firmly before he went over.

When the fire was out, everyone was very depressed, and no one dared to check the food.

How happy they were before, how disappointed they were now.

The food was burnt before they even warmed up in their hands.

Why don't you starve? There are many times when you will be hungry!

Yuan Xiao winked at Gu Lanting, "Let's go check the food."

Lin Yongsheng cheered up after hearing this, "Yes, maybe there is still food that is not burnt, let's all take a look!"

Everyone started to move.

Until the first person who walked in came out holding a bag of food, he shouted excitedly: "It's OK! The food is not burnt! It's not bad at all!"

Others couldn't wait to run in, not only was it not burnt, but even the bags were intact.

"It's strange, it's not burnt at all!"

"It's not bad if it's not burnt, it's God's blessing!"

"Don't be too happy too soon, maybe only our Dayang Village is not burnt."

"My goodness, why didn't I realize that Dayang Village has such a good feng shui before!"

Gu Lanting glanced at Yuanxiao, and Yuanxiao whispered: "It's not bad at all."

He touched Yuanxiao's little head, what kind of treasure did she have?

Fortunately, it happened to Yuan Xiao. If there was someone with evil intentions, it would be a mess!

Gu Lanting's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he suddenly thought of Fu Yuanping!

Countless signs indicate that it is completely unreasonable for Fu Yuanping to disappear from prison.

Later, they set up checkpoints at all exits and traffic in Beijing, but still did not catch him.

The latest news is that he is very likely to have left the country.

So, could he have something that goes against common sense?

His heart was shocked and he slowly clenched his fists.

Yuan Xiao saw that the food was all gone, and he felt sleepy. He yawned and said, "Let's go back to sleep."

Lin Yongsheng was still excited about his rebirth, and hurriedly said, "Move the food to a safe place, take turns to keep watch, and the others can go back to sleep first!"

Gu Lanting dragged Yuan Xiao into the car, and did not start for a long time.

After a long silence, he spoke, "Xiaoxiao, that thing on you..."

Yuan Xiao: "Hmm?"

"Does Fu Yuanping have that thing?"

Yuan Xiao was shocked. She didn't expect Gu Lanting to be able to deduce this in such a short time.

She nodded slowly, "Yes."

Gu Lanting felt powerless.

It seemed that they could not fight that thing at all.

Yuan Xiao hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "I even suspect that the real Fu Yuanping... is dead, and now he is just a madman who is being manipulated."

Either he is dead, or he has a dual personality.

Li Yang mentioned to her more than once that the previous Fu Yuanping and the current Fu Yuanping are like two different people.

The node of change happened to be the time when Gu Lanting sent someone to send Cheng Feng away.

During this period, Cheng Feng must have had contact with Fu Yuanping, and the system was upgraded and transferred to Fu Yuanping.

Gu Lanting did not continue to ask, and started the car and set off.

Yuan Xiao asked timidly: "Aren't you angry? I kept it a secret from you."

Gu Lanting took out a hand and held hers: "I won't be angry because you kept it a secret from me, but I will be happy because you are honest with me. But Xiaoxiao, you can't mention this to anyone else except me."

Yuan Xiao nodded, "I won't, my mother doesn't even know!"

"Be good!"

The two returned to the hotel. Nothing happened this time and they slept all night.

The next day, Yuan Xiao was sensitive to the fact that many people on the street were scrambling for food.

After asking, they all gave the same answer: "I heard that the food grown in the village was burned, and the price of food will rise. Let's buy it and store it at home. It won't go bad anyway!"

Yuan Xiao looked at Gu Lanting in confusion. Everything was fine yesterday, why is there such a rumor?

Gu Lanting's mind moved, "This matter may not just be a revenge of Dalan Village, there should be someone behind it."

Yuan Xiao suddenly realized: "If someone is controlling it, then the target should be..."

"Uncle He!" The two said in unison.

They found He Changlin, and He Changlin also thought of this.

He Changlin was very calm, "It's okay, just wait and see, someone is anxious."

Yuan Xiao was puzzled, "What are you anxious about?"

He Changlin laughed, "Opening up to the outside world, there is a city that needs to be developed, and someone needs to be transferred there. The higher-ups intended me. Later, the Dalan Village incident happened, and the matter was put on hold. If I had made achievements at this time, that position would still be mine."

He Changlin is still young, and if he takes a step forward, there will be a possibility of moving up again.

What's more, it is easier to make achievements in a city that starts from this point.

"Which city?" Yuan Xiao actually already had an idea in his mind.
