Seeing that things had failed, Lin Shuya could only grit her teeth and sigh at Xu Shuwan's good luck.

Now that Xu Shuwan has gone to the county, she is too far away to help. She can only ask for leave from time to time to go to the county to show off her bracelet, hoping to meet the Liu family before Xu Shuwan.

It was probably her "sincerity" that worked. The Liu family found a clue in a village. The villagers happened to see Lin Shuya's bracelet when they went to the county and told the Liu family about it.

They followed the clues and found Xujia Village and Lin Shuya.

When Lin Shuya was called out to meet someone while she was doing farm work, she was already somewhat certain of what was going on. When she saw the group of people sitting there, dressed smartly and looking radiant, and when they saw the bracelet on her wrist, they were even more eager for her to take it off and show it to them. At that moment, she was completely convinced.

Lin Shuya was secretly delighted, then pretended to be puzzled and handed the bracelet to them.

The group was initially overjoyed, thinking they had finally found the person, but to confirm, they carefully examined the bracelet.

Unexpectedly, the more he looked, the more disheartened he became, and in the end, he could only apologize to Lin Shuya, saying, "I'm sorry, comrade, we've got the wrong person." Then he prepared to get up and leave.

Lin Shuya shouted, "Impossible! Look again carefully!"

One of the younger men, in his early twenties, asked, "Do you know what we're looking for?"

Lin Shuya could only deny it, and then asked indirectly, "I don't know. I'm just a little surprised that you suddenly contacted me and seemed excited when you saw this bracelet. I wonder what you're looking for. Is it something that looks like this bracelet of mine?"

The young man seemed to feel guilty for delaying people from going to work, so he replied:

"At first glance, it does look very similar, but when we got our hands on it, we were pretty sure that it wasn't what we were looking for."

Although it's a coincidence that both are engraved with the character "嘉" (Jia), the one you have is just carved from ordinary wood; we're looking for one made of rosewood (Dalbergia odorifera).

Lin Shuya seemed to realize something. No wonder Liu San betrayed them back then; it turned out they had been in cahoots all along. Her hatred for Lin Shuya intensified.

She wanted to struggle a bit more, but she was afraid that if they found out about Xu Shuwan's existence, Xu Shuwan would benefit from it all.

Seeing her change in mood, the middle-aged man next to her asked, "Have you seen other people with bracelets like this?"

Lin Shuya was startled and was about to deny it outright, but she quickly changed her story: "Oh, right, I saw an old lady with the same one before. It looked very nice, so I copied one for myself."

"Do you remember where she is?" the young man asked excitedly.

"It's the city I lived in before I went to the countryside, City S," Lin Shuya said, pretending to think, referring to a place far from Xujia Village.

It seems her plan has failed, but as long as Xu Shuwan is not found, she will feel much better.

The man noticed something was off about her gaze and became suspicious, but he couldn't get anything out of her, so he gave up.

Secretly planning to search the area further and visit the place she mentioned, he outwardly appeared to believe her: "In that case, we'll be going. Thank you for your help, village chief and party secretary."

Seeing this, Lin Shuya assumed they believed her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandpa Xu and Party Secretary Xu saw them off with great care. When they parted, Party Secretary Xu hesitated for a moment, afraid of getting into trouble, but he didn't mention that Xu Shuwan also had a similar bracelet.

Seeing this, the man asked another question: "Secretary Xu, please feel free to speak your mind."

Secretary Xu was still somewhat hesitant, but he didn't dare to offend these distinguished guests, so he had to say, "I saw that Xu Shuwan had something similar on her wrist before, but I haven't seen her wearing it for a long time, so I'm not really sure."

Grandpa Xu, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized why the string of beads on Lin Zhiqing's hand looked so familiar, and he felt a little regretful.

I should have known better than to separate Xu Shuwan. If she really had connections with these people, she might have been able to make some money off them.

I didn't think much about whether Xu Shuwan was really related to these people, and whether the Xu family would suffer any consequences for treating her this way.

The young man, unable to contain himself, asked urgently, "Then where is she now?"

Secretary Xu replied, "Some time ago, Song, the educated youth, found a job at the steel factory in the county, so I took her with me to the county. However, I don't know exactly where they live now, but we can find them in the county."

"Thank you." The two had also obtained the clue, and after expressing their gratitude, they anxiously took their assistant to the county.
