The reinforcements always arrived just in time.
There were a couple hundred villagers, but the reinforcements that came numbered over a thousand, all well-equipped, and there were snipers in the distance, ready to shoot anyone who dared to make a move.
Apart from Yuan Bochun being sent to the hospital, all the men and women in the village aged six and above were arrested.
Won Chang-wook, who had already gone home to sleep, only realized what was happening after he was arrested and taken to the police station.
Seeing the entire village squatting with their heads in their hands at the police station, Won Chang-wook was completely dumbfounded.
At the same time, Wen Yu and the others revealed a shocking piece of news—the reason they were imprisoned in the cellar might be because the entire village was manufacturing and selling drugs.
At first, they didn't know it was a drug village. Yuan Bochun arranged accommodation for them that day, and they didn't think much of it, after all, this matter would shock the whole country if it were told.
They knew this because Yuan Bochun had poisoned their food and locked them in the cellar, where they saw many high-density precision instruments.
Now, what else don't they understand?
Yuan Bochun thought that the matter had been exposed, but he was unsure of what to do, so he could only lock them up and create the illusion that they had been killed by a bear.
Let them circulate their information until they've calmed down before figuring out how to resolve the situation.
At first, the police had no suspicions, but then they encountered Wen Li.
Soon, the police also found a large quantity of drugs and various instruments in the villagers' homes.
Everyone in the village was arrested, and the police strictly blocked the news, determined to wipe out the entire chain.
During the in-depth interrogation, the police discovered that the people in this village were just small fry. After they finished making and packaging these things, they would send them to the local area or headquarters by children or vehicles.
Police raided the headquarters based on clues, but it is estimated that someone had been monitoring the village all along, and by the time the police arrived, the place was already deserted.
The trail went completely cold.
Wen Li, Wen Yu, and the others did not go back immediately, but instead worked with the police to solve the case.
Wen Li gave her statement the next day.
Gun ownership is not allowed in China. Although Wen Li is not a police officer, she still needs to write an explanation report and provide some statements.
When the police asked Wen Li why she could tell that there was something wrong with the villagers, Wen Li replied, "First of all, the bodies of the missing persons are not right. There are more than a dozen people. Even if a bear ate them all, it would be too much for it. Even if someone escaped, the police searched almost inch by inch. In theory, they should have found them and other remains nearby, but they didn't. When we arrived at the village, the village chief's answer was too natural, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times. But the one who really saw the problem was Yuan Changxu."
What's wrong with Yuan Changxu?
"He has a murderous aura about him; he has killed people."
...
Wen Li gave several statements, and finally finished giving all her statements three days later.
Midway through, Wen Tingsong called to inquire about the safety of the two children. After learning that Wen Li and Wen Yu were alright, he decided to return to China immediately, leaving his eldest son abroad.
As people get older, what he hopes for most is that his sons and daughters are healthy and have their own families in the future, and that these families are happy. But if his children don't get married, he won't say anything, as long as they are safe and sound.
So much so that Wen Li originally said she didn't need to come, but her father ended up taking several connecting flights to get here, accompanied by Wen Xingming, Xu Yurong, and even Huo Yinghuai.
As soon as Wen Li stepped out of the hotel, she saw several people standing in front of her.
Wen Li was stunned, then quickly walked over, and even started running.
Wen Tingsong opened his arms and hugged his youngest daughter who was running towards him. He lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. He subconsciously glanced at Huo Yinghuai next to him.
Huo Yinghuai took the initiative to come over.
Wen Li suddenly left that day, and he didn't want to be the one holding her back, so he didn't follow.
But he was still very uneasy. Even after Wen Li said she was fine, he still wanted to see her immediately.
Now that Wen Li has reunited with her family, Huo Yinghuai naturally can't invite her to join in.
Unexpectedly, after Wen Li hugged everyone, she suddenly reached out to him. Huo Yinghuai instinctively hugged Wen Li and felt the unique floral fragrance on her body.
In that instant, Huo Yinghuai felt all the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days vanish.
The embrace was fleeting. Wen Li released Huo Yinghuai and asked everyone, "Why are you all here?"
Huo Yinghuai said restrainedly, "Uncle said he wanted to come and see you and Wen Yu, and I miss you very much too."
The two sentences don't connect at all; the last sentence is what Huo Yinghuai really wanted to say.
"I miss you too, but things here are basically settled, and there's nothing more for us to do. My third brother and I plan to go back tomorrow."
Huo Yinghuai: "I'll arrange a helicopter tomorrow."
There is no airport in the city. It takes more than five hours to drive to the nearest airport. It would be more convenient to fly back by helicopter, but of course, it would be quite expensive.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wen Li nodded and said, "I'll go arrange a hotel for you."
No one stopped Wen Li from doing this small thing. Watching Wen Li busy herself with the task, Wen Tingsong's eyes gradually welled up with tears.
Standing at the hotel entrance, Wen Tingsong watched Wen Li talk to the receptionist and recite their phone number fluently. He couldn't help but sigh, "Our little Li has really grown up. I remember when she first came home, she didn't understand anything and insisted on setting our home as some kind of Seeking the Dao Sect."
Although we don't understand it, the whole family respects it.
Over the years, the wooden sign of the Seeking Dao Sect has never been changed, and the vegetable garden at home has yielded bountiful harvests time and time again.
Wen Li has been home for almost three years.
As Huo Yinghuai listened to Wen Tingsong's reflections, he couldn't help but recall the first time he met Wen Li.
His car had fallen into the water, and he was almost dead, but Wen Li still risked her life to save him. Although she only paid attention to him later because he was said to bring good fortune, her heart remained pure and innocent from beginning to end.
Three years have passed, and Wen Li has indeed grown up a lot.
Huo Yinghuai watched Wen Li's retreating figure and said, "She can already stand on her own."
Wenli is never a parasitic plant.
Wen Tingsong glanced at Huo Yinghuai and suddenly said, "Huo Yinghuai, my daughter likes you now, so as her parents, I should respect the person she likes. But if one day you do something to betray her, don't blame me for disciplining you on behalf of your parents!"
Huo Yinghuai's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly assured him, "Uncle, no, that won't happen."
Wen Tingsong: "It's good that you know..."
“You don’t need to deal with me; Wen Li herself will never let me off the hook,” Huo Yinghuai replied earnestly.
Wen Tingsong: ...
Wen Tingsong looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Li ran over and said, "Dad, Second Brother, Huo Yinghuai, the rooms are ready. You can rest for a while. We'll go out for dinner later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li's expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, a violent tremor came from the ground, and the glasses and bottles placed on the table around them crashed to the ground.
There was an earthquake.
