No one spoke up for the Zhang family anymore, and the family of five was loaded into the police car.

On the way back, Ye Kun looked over the investment plans the officials had given them and regrettably remarked, “Grandpa, some of these plans are actually quite good.”

Gu Bei took the investment proposals from Ye Kun but didn’t look at them.

Since the women were in another vehicle and only the men were in the car, Gu

Bei slowly said, “Don’t tell me you think I was fooling those local officials and won’t actually invest?”

Ye Kun nodded, and Shi Nian said nothing. “Shi Nian, what do you think?” Gu Bei asked.

Shi Nian thought for a moment before replying, “I would invest. That way, we could trap the villagers in that small village. They have to pay the price for what they’ve done. We can’t let them live out their days in peace.”

Gu Bei nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the lush green mountains outside the window, Gu Bei measuredly stated, “There can be no place my daughter—alive or dead—doesn’t dare to go. If there’s a demon living there protecting those scum, then I’ll seal that place off and make those heartless people pay the price. You’re right, Shi Nian! We should trap them there! They ruined my daughter’s life, so I’ll trap them forever and never let them leave! Not all prisons have bars!”

Ye Kun now understood what Gu Bei had planned. Although he didn’t sympathize with those villagers, he couldn’t help but be shocked by Old Master Guts brutal method.

“As for the five members of the Zhang family, they’ll spend the rest of their lives in prison!” Gu Bei then looked at the two boys and uttered, “There’s something I want to ask of you.”

“Just say the word, Grandpa,” Shi Nian and Ye Kun hastily replied.

“It’s thanks to you guys’ help I found this place. Please continue to help me find the Zhang woman who worked as a nanny in the Gu family back then. She’s Zhang Tao’s sister-in-law.” Gu Bei’s voice turned cold when he mentioned that woman.

Shi Nian and Ye Kun looked at each other and saw the dilemma in each other’s eyes. Gu Bei’s voice was cold and firm as he continued, “According to Zhang Xian, some of the Gu family were also involved. I can’t investigate further since I want to avoid alerting the enemy, so I can only rely on you two. No matter who it is, I must know the results.”

Only then did Shi Nian and Ye Kun understand and quickly nodded their acceptance of the mission.

Gu Bei fell ill as soon as they returned to Lu Town. He got even sicker than Chen Yao and Yun Nan. The town’s traditional Chinese medicine doctor said slowly, “Mr. Gu’s qi flow is blocked. He also experienced a tremendous amount of anger which has affected his heart. Although he looks healthy, his body has long been under great strain and is in critical condition. He should be hospitalized so that he can be nursed back to health.”

The Gu family’s doctor also came to the same conclusion—Gu Bei should be immediately admitted to the hospital for comprehensive recuperation.

Lu Town was much closer to Rong City than White City, so Shi Nian and Ye Kun suggested they go to Rong City. It just so happened that many of the Gu family’s womenfolk were also in Rong City.

Chen Yao made a prompt decision and set off for Rong City overnight. Yun Nan was worried and wanted to go with them, and Shi Nian would naturally follow

Yun Nan.

Hence, they had to redistribute their work. Xiang Yang will return to Rong City with Yun Nan and Shi Nian, while Ye Kun, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu will stay. Firstly, they had to complete the remaining movie publicity work, and secondly, they were to assist Hai Hua in setting up the investment projects in

Lu Town.

Before they left for Rong Cheng, Fang Xi found an opportunity to remind Yun Nan, “Keep an eye on Xiang Yang. Her heart is burdened by something big, and it hasn’t been resolved yet. Don’t be fooled by her cold and aloof facade; she just pretends to be like that because it’s her protective shell. She’s actually very fragile inside. Watch out for Shi Gao and Gu Man. Don’t let them hurt her.”

Yun Nan nodded hurriedly. “Alright, I got it. I’ll leave things here to you, Fang

Xi. You know me the best.”

Fang Xi laughed. “What would you do without me?”

Yun Nan smiled wryly, “I wouldn’t want to find out. I can’t live without you.”

These words made Shi Nian and Ye Kun—who had just entered—feel extremely uncomfortable. The two silently communicated through their eyes.

Ye Kun: “Watch your wife! I’m already always on guard against men, but now I have to be on guard against women as well?”

Shi Nian: “Watch your wife! Keep her away from mywife!”

When Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang heard that Yun Nan was leaving, they were extremely reluctant to part with her. They hurriedly prepared local specialties and snacks for them and wouldn’t take no for an answer as they stuffed them into the cars. The bodyguards watched helplessly as their cars got stuffed with all kinds of meat, sausages, chicken, and eggs. They didn’t dare to stop the aunties, nor did they want to.

Strangely enough, when they went to the Zhang family’s place, the entire village was fearfully quiet when faced with the bodyguards. The villagers didn’t dare to look them in the eye.

However, it was completely different in Lu Town. No one here was afraid of the bodyguards. The elderly folks only treated them as children. Sometimes, when they passed by someone’s house on business, the residents would stuff them some food and wouldn’t take the food back no matter what. The bodyguards had no choice but to eat them.

The village and Lu Town were only a hundred miles apart, but their customs were completely different. That was why everyone in the village was indifferent and turned a blind eye to the trafficking of women and children, whereas Lu Town was a place where people didn’t want to leave after visiting because it exuded a sense of belonging and security..
