"It's okay, you guys eat first."
"I'm sorry, I didn't do what I promised you. Is my wife okay? You didn't tell her that I was arrested, right?" Shi Shichang was not sure whether he could get out. He had just discussed it with Xiang Ming, and they agreed that Wu Dehua was the one who was most capable of getting rid of the two of them. They might have other evidence in their hands. He knew Wu Dehua, and it was impossible for him to just lock them up for a while.
Now the other side has accused them of such a crime that is difficult to wash away, and countless interrogations are waiting for them.
Tian Xiaolan was silent for a few seconds, choosing her words carefully. "Take care of yourself first, and I'll rescue you. There must be a way. Your lover was stopped by hooligans this afternoon, and my brother and I happened to see them and chased them away. Don't worry, your lover isn't hurt, he's just scared. I've already told your lover about your situation, and hiding it for a long time won't work. We need to work together inside and outside to find clues and rescue you as soon as possible."
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Although he hated these fights, he didn't want his family to be harmed. He was imprisoned and suffered such revenge.
"It's Wu Dehua! Wu Dehua wants to harm us!" Xiang Ming stuffed his steamed buns into his mouth while complaining to Tian Xiaolan, "He's usually ruthless and unreasonable in the office. If he didn't have an uncle in the county, we wouldn't be scolded by him like his grandson all day long."
Wu Dehua seemed to have appeared in the book. He defeated the two later and became the mayor naturally. Through his uncle's connections, he rose step by step and became a county official. It is true that good people are not rewarded and the harm will last for thousands of years.
Tian Xiaolan nodded, "I understand, wait for my news."
Shi Shichang remembered something and said to her, "You can go to Wu Dehua's house first to see if Bao Gaoyuan is there."
"good."
"Why were you arrested?" I almost forgot this key point.
Shi Shichang looked dejectedly at the ground. "Wu Dehua reported us wrongly, accusing Bao Gaoyuan of being an undercover agent, but we found out he was the undercover agent. We only caught him the day before yesterday and put him in the guardhouse, but he escaped today, and then we were arrested."
Tian Xiaolan noticed his condition and asked, "Where is his home?"
"The best house right next to the town government is his. The lights should be on now, and you can see it when you go there. You know the way, right?" Shi Shichang described the characteristics of his house to her in detail with some concern.
"Okay, I'll go now. You guys can eat and go to bed."
"Well, be careful."
Tian Xiaolan walked out of the door and locked it, pretending she had never been there. She saw Xing Yifei leaning against the wall outside.
Xing Yifei smiled, his eyes flat. "It's their own fault for not keeping a close eye on them. Why would you help them? They dare to take responsibility for their actions. It wouldn't be worth it if you had to suffer along with them! Putting aside other things, if they locked you up for months and made you sit in a dark room, could you handle it? Besides, you're a sensible person, and sensible people won't suffer a loss in the face of adversity. You've done your best to repay them!"
Tian Xiaolan sneered: "If you don't care, just leave. No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."
"Don't play dumb!" Xing Yifei stared at Tian Xiaolan. "Why do you have to meddle in things that have nothing to do with you? Can't you just protect yourself?"
Tian Xiaolan didn't answer him and left.
I changed to another room.
"Li Weimin hesitated for a long time before he said it.
On the bed, the cold wind blew and he shivered without covering himself with bedding. Zhou Dayong's mother was fully awake and heard footsteps outside.
She secretly nudged Zhou Dayong with her elbow, put her mouth close to Zhou Dayong's ear, and whispered, "Someone's here!"
Zhou Dayong was startled and hurriedly whispered to his mother, "Where is it?"
The woman still put her mouth close to Zhou Dayong's ear and said a little fearfully, "I heard footsteps just now."
When Zhou Dayong heard this, his head buzzed and he was confused. Could it be that he was here to rescue Shi Shichang and the others?
Zhou Dayong quickly took the scissors in his hand, raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked carefully into the darkness, but he could not see any human figure on the ground.
His mother struck a match and held it above her head to see if there was anything. Zhou Dayong said to his mother, "You are dreaming, go to sleep!"
"How is that possible? I clearly heard it!"
Outside the house, Tian Xiaolan stopped in the living room, holding her breath as she listened to the sound from inside the house, and heard a "meow".
"Listen, it's a cat catching a mouse." Zhou Dayong turned over and scratched his shoulder nonchalantly.
Although she was still worried, there was nothing valuable in her house. If she really met someone, she would not be able to beat him. She looked out the window and saw no sound, then closed her eyes again.
Tian Xiaolan waved her hands twice and let them go.
Only after everyone had left did he breathe a sigh of relief and gently locked the door again.
"Did you find anyone?" Wei Wenjie asked impatiently not long after he walked out of the door.
Tian Xiaolan said as she walked: "Found it, did you find the book he wanted?"
"Not yet. I just went to the woodshed in the dark, and there was nothing!"
Tian Xiaolan looked up at the sky and said nothing, "What can you see if you go to the woodshed?"
"I can't see it either. How do I know it's the kitchen? Do you have any clues after you found the person?" Wei Wenjie excused himself. It was indeed not his fault. Although it is said that it is easier to work at night, he felt that everything was black in front of his eyes and he could only see some outlines.
"They told me to find Bao Gaoyuan. Do you know him?" Tian Xiaolan told them that one more person means more strength.
Wei Wenjie shook his head, and Xing Yifei suddenly interrupted: "I know where Wu Dehua lives, come with me!"
After he finished speaking, he led the way ahead. Before Wei Wenjie could say that he also knew and shouldn't follow him, Tian Xiaolan followed him.
"Walk slower." Wei Wenjie shouted to Xing Yifei who was walking in front. Xing Yifei had long legs, and even if he stretched his legs even if he took off, he still couldn't catch up with him.
Xing Yifei looked back at him and curled his lips, as if he had said nothing, but it also seemed as if he had said everything.
If he wasn't worried that Sister Xiaolan would be cheated by this guy, who would not look like a good person and wander around in the middle of the night?
Following him around in circles, we finally arrived at a house. There were lanterns lit in the house, which made it very prominent in the street. It was obvious that this was a wealthy family.
Xing Yifei clasped his fists and looked at the two of them, or more precisely, at Tian Xiaolan, "This is it. How are you planning to get in?"
This family was not like Zhou Dayong's family, which had only one entrance and exit, the door. Instead, they hung a pair of bright red lanterns in front of the eaves. From the outside, they saw that Wu Dehua's family had a large yard, and there seemed to be a heavy breathing sound inside.
Wei Wenjie looked at Tian Xiaolan and asked fearfully, "How do we get in?"
