Overall, Liu Yingying was quite satisfied with the value for money of this house.
So, that afternoon, he moved in with Xue Ye and Xiao Xue, and sent someone to inform Zhang Hui and Wan Niangzi.
The move was rushed, and since the three of them didn't have much to begin with, Liu Yingying went to the market to buy pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and a whole host of other daily necessities after moving in.
That evening, Liu Yingying cooked dinner herself, with Xue Ye and Xiao Xue helping out.
As dusk fell, Zhang Hui, Lady Wan, Lady Jiang, and others arrived with their respective gifts.
Seeing that Liu Yingying and Xiaoxue were still busy in the kitchen, the others went in to help.
Some started the fire, others picked vegetables, and a sumptuous dinner was quickly prepared.
"Where is your luggage?" Liu Yingying asked, looking at them with slight dissatisfaction.
They sent someone to notify Zhang Hui and the others to come over, which actually meant that they should bring their luggage and move in directly.
Zhang Hui was a little embarrassed. "Sister Liu, we've already received such a huge favor from you. How could we possibly cause you any more trouble?"
They were genuinely embarrassed!
Liu Yingying gave them a reproachful look, "Huiniang, when did you become so difficult to talk to?"
"Look how big this house I bought is. If it's just the three of us living here—me, Xue Ye, and Xiao Xue—aren't you afraid it'll be haunted at night?"
Zhang Hui opened her mouth, as if to explain something, but then Liu Yingying spoke again.
"Huiniang, do you think I'm discussing this with you?"
"No, this is an order!"
"If you're not moving out, then we shouldn't have anything to do with each other anymore..."
Zhang Hui: "Sister Liu..."
Liu Yingying: "Alright, that's enough. Don't forget I'm your boss. If you don't listen to me and move here, then don't bother coming to work when the shop reopens!"
Although her attitude was domineering and tough, it warmed the hearts of Zhang Hui and the others.
What kind of good deeds did they accumulate in their past lives?
It was only in this life of hardship that he was able to meet such a kind-hearted person as Liu Yingying.
Finally, unable to persuade Liu Yingying otherwise, the group nodded with tears in their eyes and heartfelt gratitude, agreeing to move in the next day…
After dinner, Zhang Hui and the others went home.
Liu Yingying returned to her room, changed into a set of night clothes she had prepared beforehand, and quietly left...
But as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they found that Xue Ye had also changed into night clothes and was already standing there.
He knew she would make her move tonight, so he was waiting for her.
Under the bright moonlight, the boy's dark eyes seemed even more intense than the night itself, enveloping Liu Yingying.
"Xiao Ye, what are you doing standing here?" Liu Yingying asked, somewhat embarrassed.
She hadn't originally planned to invite Xue Ye.
"Stop talking nonsense! Aren't you going to sneak into that manor at night? I'll go with you!"
Xue Ye's tone sounded somewhat impatient.
"All right!"
Liu Yingying knew that it was unrealistic to persuade him to go back now.
I had no choice but to take him along.
Suburbs Zhuangzi
It was already past midnight. In other villages, the villagers would have already turned off their lights and gone to bed by now.
However, this estate under the name of the Marquis of Yong'an was an exception.
Not only were the lights on late at night, but many villagers were also patrolling around, seemingly afraid that something from the village might escape, or that someone who shouldn't be there might appear...
It's clear that security here is extremely tight!
The more this was the case, the more certain Liu Yingying became that the missing children must be being held here!
"I'll lure those people away first, then you can sneak in..."
Xue Ye was about to take action when Liu Yingying grabbed his shoulder and gave him a speechless look.
"Are you stupid? The security here is so tight. If they detect even the slightest disturbance, they'll immediately tighten their defenses..."
Although the people on the estate looked like ordinary farmers, Liu Yingying could tell that they were not real farmers!
Given that she and Xue Ye had alerted everyone by going in, it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape safely.
But what happens after they get away?
What will happen to the children who are left behind?
Those people might move the children to another location, or they might destroy the evidence!
Neither of these outcomes was what Liu Yingying ultimately wanted.
Xue Ye looked at her with a somewhat blank expression, as if asking, "Do you have any other ideas?"
Liu Yingying's lips curled up slightly, and she closed her eyes to begin searching for what she wanted in the online store.
[Ding! Host has successfully redeemed ten potassium cyanide fog grenades, consuming 1000 points!]
The system's voice rang in his mind, though Xue Ye couldn't hear it.
Suddenly, ten black, bottle-like objects appeared out of thin air in Liu Yingying's hand.
Although he already knew she had a secret, Xue Ye was still quite shocked.
After a moment of stunned silence, he finally managed to gather his thoughts and ask curiously, "What...is this?"
"Take these!"
Liu Yingying shoved five bombs into his hand and showed him how to use them…
"Let's split up and distribute these munitions evenly..."
"Remember, when you pull it open, be sure to cover your mouth and nose so you don't inhale it, or you'll lose consciousness!"
"Okay, I understand!" Xue Ye carefully put away the five potassium cyanide fog grenades, quickly left Liu Yingying's side, and disappeared into the night...
