Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"Ahem... Stop, I'm already full. Don't worry about me, just eat quickly." Su Wanwan's heart suddenly trembled, and she carefully adjusted her breathing, fearing that her loud heartbeat would be heard by Xu Yan next to her.

In her previous life, she probably never dreamed that one day she would receive such care and warmth.

To have a mother who only has eyes for her, and a brother with a harmonious family.

And...Xu Yan.

"Really?" As if he didn't believe it, Xu Yan stared at the traces left at the corners of Su Wanwan's mouth after she wolfed down the food, with a half-smile.

"Yeah, really. Look, my stomach is bulging." Su Wanwan said, and burped at the same time.

"Okay, eat slowly." Xu Yan picked up a piece of rabbit meat on the leaf with a light chuckle and ate very slowly.

While eating, he looked around from time to time.

As if waiting for something.

"Is this it? That car!"

The moment she heard the conversation, Su Wanwan saw several flashlights flashing randomly on the hillside in the distance.

"somebody is coming?"

Subconsciously picking up the pieces of rabbit meat on the ground, Su Wanwan bent over and wanted to clean up all the traces of barbecue, but suddenly Xu Yan gently pressed her wrist.

"It's okay, they can't see this side."

Xu Yan had quietly put out the fire at some point and turned off the flashlight. Apart from a slight smell of the burning flame, there was no sign of any human activity here.

The few people who came up the mountain to look for their car naturally wouldn't notice this side for no reason.

But Su Wanwan's heart still rose to her throat.

Judging from the conversation, one of them should be the village Party Secretary Wang...

Why didn't he rest in the middle of the night, but instead brought these people to the mountain to see Xu Yan's car?

And judging from Xu Yan’s reaction… he had known someone would come.

Thinking back to a few days ago when Party Secretary Wang called the village youths over for questioning, Su Wanwan's worries grew stronger and stronger.

Although she trusted Xu Yan to handle these things, but...what if...

Su Wanwan didn't dare to think further. With the help of the dim moonlight, she turned her head to look at Xu Yan beside her - she didn't know if it was because the light was too dim, but she couldn't see any worry or fear on Xu Yan's face.

"Are not you afraid?"

In the deep forest, a group of people suddenly broke in, and they were still talking about Xu Yan's car that suddenly drove out, which was creepy.

"Don't be afraid."

Xu Yan gave Su Wanwan a reassuring look and took the time to pat her on the back, his eyes still secretly fixed on the few people who were talking around the car.

"This car looks quite new, it doesn't look scrapped!" The few people who came with Secretary Wang did not sound like people from the village. After circling the car several times and taking a look at its overall appearance, they sneered twice.

"Alas, I have asked everyone in the village, and no one knows the existence of this car. Except for the child of the third son of the Xu family, there is no other testimony. We can't just lock people up like this, right?" Secretary Wang sighed deeply, and his tone sounded a little embarrassed.

"Old Wang, you have been working in the village for so many years, why haven't you made any progress? No wonder you can only be the village party secretary now."

The man sneered again and leaned against the car. "If we can't find out anything, just assume that the third son of the Xu family was hanging out with some profiteers and stole this nice car from somewhere. Just report it and that's it!"

Upon hearing what the visitor said, Secretary Wang hurriedly explained in a low voice, with a tone that even had a hint of flattery in it: "But Old Man Xu's family didn't do anything bad. The third child in their family has always been hardworking and has always done the most work in the production team. Besides, the car was driven out to save his father's life. Isn't it a bit bad to send him up there without knowing the reason clearly?"

"If a car like this suddenly appeared in your village, and other villages and towns knew about it, wouldn't people accuse you of protecting this Xu Lao San?"

After this person said this, Secretary Wang fell silent.

Su Wanwan's heart rose to her throat again.

It seems that Secretary Wang was not just talking when he said last time that the town or county would send people to investigate this matter. These people really came to investigate secretly...

If they hadn't been here today, they probably wouldn't have heard these words.

"Did you hear that? They want to charge you directly, take you to town or the county... maybe lock you up."

Su Wanwan's guess was well-founded.

Why isn't Xu Yan anxious at all?

"Don't worry, this guy is just from town investigating. He doesn't have the ability to take me away directly."

Xu Yan quietly covered up the traces of barbecue on the ground. His calm demeanor did not seem like he was facing a powerful enemy at all.

"Then what are you going to do? What if they go to your house looking for your father and your sister?" Following Xu Yan's footsteps, the two of them bent over and walked down the mountain along the back slope along the path.

The sound of the people talking behind me became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.

"If they insist on investigating further, I will have to disappear for a few days."

When they got closer to the foot of the mountain, Xu Yan regained his normal tone.

Su Wanwan was so scared that she raised her hand to cover his mouth and looked behind her cautiously.

"Do you mean you're going to be captured by them?"

Based on her understanding of Xu Yan...there must be a solution.

Otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.

"What are you thinking? I mean maybe I need to go to the county or even the city to get this done."

"Are you going to find your friends?" The two of them walked to the fork in the road at the entrance of the village, and Su Wanwan wiped the oil that had already been wiped off the corners of her mouth.

"Yeah." After agreeing, Xu Yan suddenly smiled and stared at Su Wanwan's eyes for a long time.

Just when Su Wanwan thought he would not say anything else and was about to go home quietly, she suddenly heard Xu Yan say for no apparent reason: "Are you so worried about me?"

"Um……?"

Su Wanwan's face turned red and white when her little thoughts were suddenly exposed. Fortunately, it was mostly covered by the night, but her pounding heart still exposed her condition.

Su Wanwan coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, and walked back while explaining in a low voice: "If something happens to you... I won't have any extra money to earn."

"Haha." Xu Yan didn't expect Su Wanwan to answer like this. He suddenly laughed, "Don't worry, you will only make more and more money."

Although she received a reassuring response from Xu Yan, Su Wanwan still felt nervous on the way home.

The town and the county took this matter so seriously that even if Xu Yan had many friends in the provincial capital, he would probably have to spend a lot of energy to mediate.

If something goes wrong... who knows what crime you'll be charged with?

Gently pushing open the door in the moonlight, Su Wanwan confirmed again that Jiang Panhua in the west had fallen asleep, and then quietly returned to her room.
