"Is it related to my uncle?!" Lu Qin was shocked by the news.
The fact that he was kidnapped and taken to Rongcheng was completely unrelated to his uncle's case. How could there be any connection?
wrong!
Lu Qin suddenly felt like he had forgotten something.
Didn't Lu Fenghua disappear? Lu Qin, remember Xu Mingyan gossiped with her last time about how her uncle had run away with a woman, abandoning his wife and children.
Could it be...
Lu Qin had some guesses in her mind and looked at Qu Dongbo in confusion.
"It was my negligence, and it's also my fault for not being ruthless." Qu Dongbo blamed himself a little: "At the time, I wanted to remind Xiao Xu's family to keep an eye on your uncle, so that they would stay quiet and not cause trouble for you. But I didn't expect Lu Fenghua to escape from the county."
"I sent someone to investigate. Lu Fenghua escaped from a small road with a woman, and the woman who approached your uncle is not a simple person." Qu Dongbo frowned. "I suspect she was the one who got your information out of your uncle, which led to your kidnapping."
Qu Dongbo said coldly, "There must be many more spies like this in Antu County, but we can't find them right away."
"They're just afraid of you." Lu Qin was a little shocked. People are treacherous, far more sinister than she imagined. "So where is my uncle now?"
"Still in Rongcheng. I've already sent people to ask your aunt and the others, but it seems they don't know about this."
"Anything that cannot be eradicated is the root of trouble." Lu Qin sighed.
If only she could understand what was going on.
At the beginning, Xu Mingyan gossiped with her, saying that Lu Fenghua abandoned his wife and children, and stole supplies with a woman overnight and moved out of Antu County.
Lu Qin immediately sensed something was amiss. How could a prostitute keep drugs around? To be able to drug an entire family and then quietly transfer a large amount of supplies, the amount of drugs needed must have been substantial. It wasn't something an average person could obtain.
Later, she also inquired about Lu Fenghua's whereabouts, but the matter was left unresolved because she could not find him.
Now it seems that the woman must be the spy planted by Rongcheng.
She had also thought that no matter how useless her uncle's family was, they were still relatives, so she should just let them fend for themselves.
But the situation seems to have developed out of control.
This time they were lucky, she and Qu Dongbo escaped at the risk of their lives, but what about next time?
If I get betrayed again, will I still be so lucky?
Lu Qin gritted her teeth. In her previous life, her uncle had driven her and her mother out of the house without regard for her feelings. In this life, he had betrayed her to the enemy. What else would he do in the future?
She couldn't imagine.
Must be kept under close watch!
Qu Dongbo naturally saw her intention and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I've already assigned people to watch over your aunt and the others daily. If there's any unusual movement, I'll definitely notify you first."
…
Before I knew it, the snow had stopped for two months.
Although the temperature has not eased, the weather has been sunny.
Although thick layers of snow were still piled up on the roadside streets, the main roads had been cleared cleanly and there was no difference from before.
There is a row of houses at the outermost edge of the slums in Antu County.
This area was actually a commercial street before the end of the world.
It was opened not long ago. Rows of storefronts are connected to the square, and in the center is a huge sunken square with fountains and other things. It was built according to high standards at the time and is magnificent. It can be regarded as a new civic economic center.
But after the snowstorm came, the sunken square was completely submerged in snow, turning it into a vast sea of snow.
Because the open space was large enough and the surrounding storefronts were all low two-story buildings, even though they were half buried in snow, they did not suffer any damage such as collapse.
The huge open space, coupled with its geographical proximity to the shelter, has made this place a gathering place for people.
Many displaced people built small huts using scattered materials in the open space in the center of the square.
Gradually, more and more people came, and the large amount of snow accumulated in the sunken square was transported out and cleared.
People were pleasantly surprised to find that the sunken plaza underground was warmer than the ground.
So the empty square and underground garage were immediately filled with refugees from all over the place.
However, because there are few houses and buildings, but a large number of people gathered, it is impossible to become a planned area like Shelter 042 in a short time, and the so-called slums are formed.
As it was convenient for everyone and to facilitate the management of the huge population here, it was named Pearl Square District after the name of the square before the end of the world.
There are still several families living in the buildings next to the square.
These shops have actually not been open for very long, and the houses are still brand new. The people living here are families who cannot squeeze into the shelters, but have a certain salary to buy a house.
Xiao Xu's family sold their house in Jinxiu Community and moved in here. Although the surrounding environment is a bit poor and surrounded by dirty and messy refugees, at least they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which is already very good.
Because of Xiao's father's ability, Qu Dongbo specially appointed him as a member of the General Affairs Department of the Mingzhu Plaza Slum Management Department, doing some management work on weekdays. Xiao's mother also found a job, and the family's life became better.
Everyone around here knows that the Xiao family, who lives at No. 14, Building B, Plaza Commercial Street, is the management of the slum. They all want to make friends with them and generally don't dare to offend them easily.
But today, there was a woman acting like a spoiled brat in front of Xiao Xu's house.
"Please, Ah Xu, please help me one more time, I really can't live anymore."
"I've already given you the price, and we agreed that we owe each other nothing. Don't bother me anymore."
Xiao Xu looked at the woman with messy hair in front of him with some disgust.
