Chapter 808 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (39)
That's right, the fourth brother that Yu Muhuai overheard the village chief whispering about was none other than "Driver Lao Li".

He was Zhu Hongguang's fourth son.

The fourth child did not appear in the memories implanted by the agency.

Ever since Zhu Laosi left the village, changed his name to Lao Li, and entered the university campus to become a driver, it has been a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time.

After Old Li appeared, the atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly eerie.

Like gunpowder ready to explode, just waiting for the right moment to ignite the fuse.

Yu Muhuai didn't expose the person's disguise right away. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly made a surprised expression.

"Old Li, didn't you find Teacher Meng?"

Zhu Laosi turned to look at Yu Muhuai and said with regret, "Yes, if I had found him, I would have brought him back. I don't know where he went."

Yu Muhuai exclaimed, "Oh dear! I just saw Teacher Meng. He said that the group of students got lost and asked me to help them find their way out."

Then I followed him for a while and saw these students. Then I turned around and Teacher Meng was gone.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned strange, and they all looked at Yu Muhuai.

Even Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi looked at Yu Muhuai in confusion, wondering if what she said was true or false.

Zhu Ling, the second son of Zhu Lao, had a sharp glint in his eyes. He stared intently at Yu Muhuai and asked, "Ahua, did you really see Teacher Meng?"

Yu Muhuai nodded innocently: "Yes, why would I lie to you? If it weren't for Teacher Meng, I wouldn't have met these students."

The three Zhu brothers exchanged glances, then the second and third brothers nodded, went inside and talked to the village chief about something, before leaving home.

Yu Muhuai watched the two figures leave, his eyes filled with a deep, melancholy expression.

Just then, Sister-in-law Zhu came out of the house, waved to everyone in the courtyard, and said.

"It's almost noon, and it's quite sunny outside. Come in, have some water, and take a break."

Yu Muhuai smiled and nodded, then went inside first.

Luo Ji walked beside Yu Muhuai, and they entered the house one after the other.

Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi had no idea what the two were planning, but they had no other choice but to follow them inside.

When everyone went inside and couldn't see him anymore, Zhu Laosi's face, which had just been smiling somewhat憨憨地, instantly turned extremely gloomy, as eerie as dark clouds pressing down.

But once inside, he instantly reverted to his previous "Old Li" persona.

Sister-in-law Zhu brought over a few cups of water.

Unsurprisingly, the water was ice-cold, just like the dishes here.

Yu Muhuai nudged Luo Ji with his elbow and gestured to him with his eyes.

Luo Ji frowned, then asked, "Second Sister-in-law Zhu, do you have any hot water?"

Sister-in-law Zhu was clearly taken aback by the question.

What do you need hot water for?

Luo Ji calmly said, "My stomach is a little upset, and I want to drink some warm water. I'm afraid I'll get diarrhea if I drink cold water."

Sister-in-law Zhu was a little nervous and couldn't help but turn to look at Fourth Brother Zhu.

Zhu Laosi, believing no one had seen him, glared at her fiercely.

Sister-in-law Zhu quickly looked away and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, young man, we don't have hot water at home. Please make do with this."

Luo Ji put down his cup: "Then forget it, I won't drink it. I can't make do with this, or I'll get diarrhea."

Seeing that Luo Ji wasn't drinking water, Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi exchanged a glance and put down their cups as well.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

Yu Muhuai asked casually, "Second Sister-in-law, where did Second Brother and Third Brother go out to do?"

Second Sister-in-law Zhu was clearly not a good liar; she stammered for a long time, unable to give a coherent answer.

At this moment, Sister-in-law Zhu came over and picked up the conversation: "The two of them saw Old Li, brought him back, and then went out to work. Children, you can have lunch here. I don't know when the rescue team will arrive, so you'll probably have to stay here for a few more days."

As she spoke, she pushed Sister-in-law Zhu into the kitchen.

The group sat in the front hall of the village chief's house, just inside the main gate.

The windows inside were tightly closed, and the only light coming in was from the open door.

Fortunately, it was midday, so the light was plentiful and the room was fairly bright.

After the two women left, the room fell silent instantly.

It was so quiet that you could almost hear a steady heartbeat.

Zhu Laosi sat with them as if he knew nothing about it.

Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji remained silent, and Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi, unsure of their intentions, also kept quiet.

It was Zhu Laosi who couldn't help but speak first.

He looked at Luo Ji and asked, "I heard you got separated in the woods. Did you encounter anything before you came out?"

Luo Ji didn't try to hide anything; he nodded and said, "We encountered them, but we've resolved them."

Zhu Laosi frowned, and asked uncertainly, "Is it resolved?"

Luo Ji remained expressionless, showing no change in emotion, and simply said, "Yes, it's resolved."

Zhu Laosi's breathing became rapid, and he felt a tightness in his throat. He asked impatiently, "How did you solve it? What did you solve?"

Luo Ji stared at him for a long while, then suddenly smiled faintly and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "bang" came from outside.

The courtyard gate was kicked open.

"Father! Father! Something terrible has happened!!"

The voices of Zhu Lao Er and Zhu Lao San could be heard from outside the door.

Zhu Hongguang had clearly been waiting for news, and when he heard the door being banged on, he rushed out from the inner room.

Sister-in-law Zhu and Sister-in-law Zhu came out of the kitchen.

Yu Muhuai and the others also stood up.

Zhu Laosi couldn't control himself at all and ran out immediately.

Zhu Hongguang looked old, but at this moment his body was unusually agile, and he quickly darted out.

As Yu Muhuai stepped out of the house, he heard Zhu Hongguang let out a deafening roar.

"What? The altar has been destroyed??"

"Yes, Father, the sacrificial space has completely disappeared."

"What exactly happened?"

"They must be my father."

Zhu Hongguang and the others turned around and looked at Luo Ji and the others who came out.

Their eyes were sharp, like those of a hawk about to tear its prey apart, carrying the menace of an impending storm.

Zhu Hongguang's face was ashen. His fists clenched tightly, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he asked through gritted teeth.

"What exactly happened while you were on the mountain?"

At this moment, the villagers in the courtyard seemed to have abandoned their pretense, making no attempt to hide their malice and cruelty.

Ye Xu'an and Tong Yi looked puzzled, while Yu Muhuai smiled but did not answer.
