I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

"But it's been three years since the incident. Even if I wanted to look for it, I don't know where to start." Tang Wenhao spoke with frustration, and he sat back on the bed dejectedly.

"First," Shen Xiao said slowly, "we need to go back to the starting point and verify those initial clues. You can go find Brother Tang's groom. He may still remember those details at the Yuanyuan steamed bun stall. His words can be an important part of our re-examination of the incident."

When Tang Wenhao heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but then dimmed again. "But, it's been so long, will he still remember?" he murmured to himself.

"No matter what the result is, it's worth a try." Shen Xiao answered firmly, "Besides the groom, Licheng is also a place we must go. It's not only where Yuanyuan once lived, but also the key to the mystery of her identity. We need to investigate in depth to find out whether she is Chen Yuanyuan or Sun Yingying. At the same time, we have to find out in Licheng whether the rumor about Yuanyuan is really a murderer. Since my aunt mentioned the wanted portrait, this matter must have caused quite a stir in the local area, and there must be many people who know about it."

Tang Wenhao raised his head suddenly, "You're right! I can't just give up like this! Whether Yuanyuan is alive or dead, I will get to the bottom of this matter! Now that my brother is not here, I will go to Licheng first!"

Shen Xiao frowned when he heard this. "You want to go there by yourself? What about the store?" he asked worriedly. After all, Qingfeng and Mingyue were very helpful, and they could find out useful information by going there.

"There's nothing wrong with the store. Even if there is, let Qingfeng and Mingyue take care of it for the time being." Tang Wenhao said after thinking for a moment, "I believe they can handle everything. And I must go and find out the truth about this matter myself. Only in this way can I feel at ease."

Shen Xiao looked at Tang Wenhao's determined eyes and knew that he had made up his mind. So, he stopped trying to dissuade him. "Then I'll go with you. The academy doesn't need me to substitute for classes anymore. I can bring some books with me and review them at night. Besides, with me by your side, I can take care of you if you encounter any difficulties or dangers."

Hearing this, Tang Wenhao felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that Shen Xiao really cared about him and supported him. He nodded gratefully: "Okay! With you and me, I have more confidence!"

The two of them discussed and decided to leave early tomorrow morning. Tang Wenhao wanted to leave immediately, but Shen Xiao took Xu Congyi's feelings into consideration and insisted on waiting until tomorrow to at least tell Xu Congyi where they were going so that she wouldn't worry.

In the afternoon, Tang Wenhao suddenly thought of something and hurried back to the Tang family.

At night, Xu Congyi came to find Shen Xiao at the usual time. The two entered Xu Congyi's space. Shen Xiao recounted to Xu Congyi what Tang Wenhao had said today, and told him that he wanted to go to Licheng with Tang Wenhao.

After hearing everything, Xu Cong turned around and smiled at Shen Xiao, with a hint of teasing in his smile. "Brother Shen Xiao, can't you men resist this kind of trick?"

Shen Xiao was confused for a moment when he heard this. He frowned in confusion and asked, "What kind of routine?"

"That's it, an alcoholic father, a sick mother, a school-age brother, a broken girl. Such women always seem to touch the heartstrings of you men, making you unconsciously want to save and protect them.

Shen Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized it. He smiled and said, "You are quite good at making up lyrics. But what you said is not without reason. Such a story does make people feel sympathy. But Wenhao's feelings for Yuanyuan are not just out of sympathy or pity. He really cares about her and loves her. I don't want Wenhao to be hurt, but he has to pass this level this time."

"So how are you going to go tomorrow? Is Licheng far away?" Xu Congyi was still a little worried. She was mainly worried about the long journey.

Shen Xiao smiled and calmed her down: "Licheng is not too far away. Wenhao and I decided to go there on horseback, which will be much faster. We plan to travel light and only bring necessary items so that we can reach our destination faster."

"How long does the trip take?" Xu Congyi obviously didn't know much about the speed of horses, and her question revealed a bit of curiosity and confusion.

Shen Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "If we take the official road, avoiding the rugged mountain roads and unnecessary detours, we should be able to reach Licheng in two days."

Hearing this, Xu Congyi could not help but sigh softly and said, "Two days of riding a horse..." This journey does not sound easy. If it were in modern times, with convenient means of transportation such as cars and airplanes, it would probably take less than half a day to get there.

However, she soon came to her senses and said to Shen Xiao seriously: "How about I take you there? My spatial ability can teleport you instantly, so you don't have to work so hard. Moreover, I am very fast, and I can take you to Licheng in just one stick of incense."

Shen Xiao felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but his reason told him that it was not appropriate to do so. He shook his head gently and declined, "Forget it. Although your spatial ability is amazing, it is not appropriate to let others know about it. We can go there on horseback. Although it is a bit hard, we can also enjoy the scenery along the way and experience a different journey. Besides, this is also a kind of training and test for Wen Hao and me."

Xu Congyi understood Shen Xiao's concerns. She nodded. What Shen Xiao said made sense. Although Tang Wenhao was reliable, businessmen had a lot of social activities. If he let something slip when drunk, it would be fatal.

"Okay, you must be careful and pay attention to safety." Xu Congyi was worried, so he bought a portable electric baton from Taobao, gave it to Shen Xiao and told him how to use it, so that he could be on guard if he encountered someone with bad intentions.
