People born in the 80s became relocated households

Chapter 98 Leading the Way to Xixia Village

She was silent for a long time. If he hadn't shown up, she might soon forget about staying at his place. Even though nothing had happened, it would still be embarrassing to tell others about it.

Lin Moxiao glanced at the three people who had just been beaten. At this time, they had already supported each other to stand up and walked slowly and with difficulty into the car.

"They are fine, they won't die. They will stay at home for a few days, but their lives won't be in danger. I'm just teaching them a lesson. There's no need to be afraid." Lin Moxiao turned his head expressionlessly.

Jiang Shuya was a little surprised: "Why did you hit them, and in such a public place? This is a society ruled by law, not a gang. If someone calls the police, do you think you will be fine?"

Lin Moxiao said calmly: "They won't call the police. They wouldn't dare to do that even if they had the guts. Besides, I was defending myself. I can't just let them pick a fight and I'll just passively take the beating. He glanced back at her and softened his tone: "Are you concerned about me?"

Jiang Shuya subconsciously took a step back, not wanting to get involved with him, she just wanted to escape: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As she was about to leave, she was grabbed by a force. Lin Moxiao grabbed her sleeve and said, "It's too late. Let me take you there! Let's get in the car."

Jiang Shuya could feel the force holding her tightly. She knew she couldn't break free. There were people walking back and forth on the opposite side of the street, and she didn't want to attract onlookers and become a hot topic.

She raised her head to look at those eyes as cold as frost, her heart trembling inexplicably, but she was actually pulled by him to the front of the car obediently. Seeing him open the door, she bent down and entered the car sideways.

Inside the car, the air was condensed and there was silence. Only the sound of the car starting up could be heard. Lin Moxiao glanced at her and said, "Fasten your seat belts. How are you going? Tell me the direction."

Jiang Shuya came to her senses and pointed ahead: "Go straight ahead here, pass two traffic lights, go up Jiajiang Bridge, cross the bridge, turn right, turn left at Lushui Street, cross the arch bridge and go straight, and you will reach the intersection of Xixia Village."

Lin Moxiao stared at her as she finished speaking in one breath: "Can't you tell me twice?"

Jiang Shuya: “…”

The air-conditioning temperature in the car rose and it felt a bit stuffy. Jiang Shuya took off her mask, pressed the smart window, half opened the window, and the cold air blew in her face. She took big gulps of fresh air, her chest trembling.

Lin Moxiao glanced at her sideways, and was suddenly shocked by the particularly red scars on her face. He asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with the scars on your face?"

Jiang Shuya suddenly looked back and quickly put the mask back on. She calmed her thoughts and stayed silent for a moment. She still didn't want to answer. For some reason, she didn't want to lie in front of him. Her mouth seemed to be sealed and she couldn't think of any perfunctory words.

Lin Moxiao held back his emotions: "I'm waiting for your answer."

There was another silence in the air, and Jiang Shuya said nonchalantly, "He had a dispute with someone else and fell down."

She didn't dare say anything more. That night was simply a nightmare for her.

Fortunately, Lin Moxiao did not ask any further questions. He guessed that maybe she had a dispute with some powerful woman due to a conflict of interests, so she started fighting without considering the consequences. Since it was a fight, someone would always get hurt, and she might not be able to resist.

He didn't dare to help her rashly, and she was unwilling to reveal too much. As his current friend, he couldn't show too much, and doing too much would only backfire.

When the car got on the Jiajiang Bridge, Jiang Shuya suddenly remembered the promise she made to Sun Qi to find someone for help. She turned her head and glanced at Lin Moxiao. After a moment of thought, the phone number suddenly appeared on the screen of her mobile phone, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

After the call was connected, it was Sun Qi, who spoke in an anxious voice, "Sister-in-law, I was waiting for you at the bridgehead gate just now, but you didn't come back. I received news today that there is a house that was built not long ago in the private plot of land on the reed marsh by the river. Huang Tao went there today. It was the house of old man Chen who looked after the fish pond. I don't know when it was locked this afternoon. My grandfather asked old man Chen, and he said that there are four major mines in the house, no partitions, and no valuables. After it was built, only the door was installed, but no lock was installed."

Jiang Shuya was a little agitated when she heard this, and tried to lower her voice and said, "You mean, Huang Tao will pick someone up tonight."

Sun Qi: "Maybe, but I'm not sure what time it is. I plan to go over there tonight to watch the first half of the night, and grandpa will watch the second half. If we see those children who look like the ones in the newspaper, we will call the police immediately."

"Okay, you go first, I'll be there soon." Jiang Shuya hung up the phone, and her mood suddenly became heavy.

Lin Moxiao stared at him blankly, his eyes becoming gentle, and he whispered, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Shuya blinked her black and white eyes and smiled brightly: "Mr. Lin is still interested in staying in Jiangdao for one night."

Lin Moxiao said in a low voice: "Please explain it more clearly."

Jiang Shuya didn't keep it a secret: "It's like this, the police are looking for three missing children in Wuhe County recently. I have a relative who may have a motive for committing a crime. He hid the three children in a secluded place in Jiangdao. I want to find them. The police also have a reward of 30,000 yuan. Let's split the money."

The car braked suddenly, and Jiang Shuya jumped forward and then sat back.

"Three children." Lin Moxiao looked incredulous.

She deliberately mentioned the reward amount because she couldn't find a reason to ask him to help. After seeing his skills and seeing how he was fighting one against three, she made the invitation, so she had to give a reason.

"I'm saying it's possible, but I'm not sure yet. If you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say anything." Jiang Shuya looked in the direction and arrived at the Xixia Village intersection. She unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out of the car when Lin Moxiao stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, I'll find a place to park."

Jiang Shuya found him a parking spot at the Jiangdao Square parking lot. After the two got off the car, the night got darker, the frost and dew were thick, and the ground was damp. Two figures walked into Xixia Village, one in front and one behind. Jiang Shuya did not go home. She took Lin Moxiao and turned a corner to the private land behind his second uncle's house. She was afraid of being recognized by acquaintances along the way, so she put on the hat on her clothes, leaving only a pair of big, shining eyes. She passed the firewood field and walked quietly to the window of Huang Tao's residence. The two of them leaned against the wall tightly. Jiang Shuya stuck her head out and took a look inside. The lights in the room were on. Huang Tao was lying on the bed snoring with a twisted posture, his hands tightly holding his mobile phone, like a machine on standby at any time, waiting for the other party to give orders.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Shuya shivered. She rubbed her hands and hugged the empty clothes on her body. Lin Moxiao next to her suddenly hugged her tightly and said softly, "Don't move. It will be warmer this way."

Jiang Shuya subconsciously pushed him away: "Maybe I will stay here all night. If you feel cold, Mr. Lin, you can go back."
