Pushing open the door of the trunk of the car, Yang Xue jumped down, with a dark face, ignoring Lao Xu and others who came to greet him, and walked straight towards the villa.
Wang Qiang followed closely behind, and as soon as he got out of the car, Wenquan Xin came forward with a smirk on his face.
The latter retracted his hands in his armholes, bumped Wang Qiang twice with his elbows, and then asked curiously: "Ah, Qiangzi, what happened? Did the two of you have a verbal conflict?"
Wang Qiang ignored it. At this time, he was wandering like a zombie and following Yang Xue.
Wenquan Xin became even more interested when he saw this. He was about to tease his good brother again, but was stopped by Tang Xiaoquan who stepped forward.
Tang Xiaoquan shook his head seriously and signaled Wenquan Xin not to speak.
Wenquanxi was not stupid. He immediately guessed what happened during the outing. He quickly pulled Tang Xiaoquan aside and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Quanzi, Qiangzi, what happened to Yang Xue?"
In Wenquan Xin's view, the problem would definitely not be the operation itself, because if something happened, he would not be able to come back smoothly.
In response, Tang Xiaoquan glanced at Wenquan Xin, who was full of curiosity, with a solemn expression, and then sighed softly: "Oh~ It's hard to explain in words! Let's go into the room and talk."
Lao Zhao originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to return this time and find some small shops on the way to buy some supplies to continue to replenish the villa's resources. After all, the appearance of the bandits meant that the road outside would be blocked at any time.
Once the road up and down the mountain is blocked, they will no longer be able to go out at any time like in the past. Therefore, during this risky trip, Lao Zhao felt that it would be a pity not to bring some supplies back.
However, the facts were unpredictable. No one could have imagined that what they were originally worried about did not happen. Instead, the situation was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Liu Yunpeng. As a result, everyone was in a bad state of mind during the return journey. In view of this, Lao Zhao finally had to I reluctantly gave up on this initial idea.
After closing the car door, he said hello to Lao Xu and Lao Lin, who had been waiting for a long time, and then followed Tang Xiaoquan and Wenquan Xin towards the villa.
In the villa, the survivors had been waiting for a long time. Considering that the bandits might launch a raid at any time, Lao Xu only brought Wenquan Xin, Lao Lin, and Lao Zhao out to greet them. The rest either stayed at their posts or were ordered to stay in the house.
The first person to enter the villa was Yang Xue. With a sullen face, she walked through the crowd expressionlessly as if the people around her were nothing.
And Wei Yang, who had just tidied up the room and was about to come out to see his beloved, happened to kiss Yang Xue who was about to go upstairs. Wei Yang immediately raised his hand enthusiastically and greeted: "Hi, Yang Xue, come back. Come on, this journey has been quite hard, I’ve heated up the food for you, you go up and wash yourself first, then you can come down and eat later.”
Yang Xue is now in a state of mind where she doesn't want to see anyone, so Wei Yang's kind concern is extremely disgusting to her. She even feels that the woman in front of her cares a little too much about other people's affairs.
The thought is: It doesn't matter whether I eat or not, but you really think it's your own business, and you are more diligent than my own mother.
Of course, Yang Xue didn't say this, but when Wei Yang saw that Yang Xue was so angry, she seemed to have something on her mind. She originally wanted to ask what happened, but after weighing it, she gave up.
In the living room, everyone gathered around the round table as before, waiting for Lao Zhao and others to tell them about their trip.
Everyone more or less felt something was wrong after the five people returned from the trip. As a result, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and the atmosphere became somewhat depressing and solemn.
Xu Renjie poured the brewed tea for Old Zhao, and then said slowly: "Old Zhao, tell me, how is the situation this time?"
"The cargo transfer went smoothly." As the leader of this operation, Lao Zhao first made a conclusion about the mission itself.
"What about Liu Fugui's attitude? Does he have anything to do with the bandits who attacked us?"
"This~" Looking at Tang Xiaoquan on the other side, Lao Zhao changed his mind and asked the other party: "This~ Xiao Tang, please tell me your opinion."
After thinking about it, Tang Xiaoquan replied simply: "Based on my brief contact with Liu Fugui today, his connection with the bandits can be reduced, but it cannot be completely ruled out!"
"Oh? Did Liu Fugui fail to fulfill his previous promise? Didn't he deliver the promised supplies to us?"
"No!" Shaking his head quickly, Tang Xiaoquan replied affirmatively: "Brother Hu, Liu Fugui not only fulfilled his promise, but also promised me a lot of things!"
"Oh? Then, if that's the case, why do you say, Quan Zi, that Liu Fugui cannot be ruled out as a suspect?" Wu Chao scratched his head inexplicably, obviously unable to understand the basis for Tang Xiaoquan's inference.
"Because when Lao Zhao asked him to send more manpower to our side, Liu Fugui seemed very ambiguous. Although he kept using Huang Yong's excuse to say that there were two outing teams going out for activities, resulting in a shortage of manpower in his factory. Can't rush to rescue. But I looked carefully before and after entering the factory. There are indeed fewer vehicles in his factory area, but only one missing. This means that Liu Fugui and Huang Yong lied. In addition, he always emphasized that he would send people over at the appropriate time. Regarding this point, if my estimate is correct, he will give us a blow when we are in the most difficult time. Even if Liu Fugui has no contact with the bandits, he must have bad intentions!"
After listening to Tang Xiaoquan's analysis, Old Zhao nodded to himself: "What Xiao Tang said makes sense. I was also puzzled by Liu Fugui's excuse at the time. In addition, a mysterious vehicle came to Liu Fugui's factory before we left. I tried to test it. I asked Huang Yong, but the guy was quite secretive about this and did not give any direct answer. Therefore, we cannot rule out the suspicion of Liu Fugui, an old fox, and we should strengthen the precautions at the factory!"
This is meaningless to everyone, because through the last transaction, Liu Fugui took advantage of Tang Xiaoquan's eagerness to find his relatives and raised the price, which already lowered his status in the eyes of the survivors.
"By the way, Uncle Zhao, did something happen to Qiangzi and Yang Xue? Why didn't they come down?"
As soon as Wenquan Xin said this, the survivors realized that Wang Qiang, who liked to yell, was missing from the round table. Everyone recalled the strange expressions of Yang Xue and Wang Qiang entering the villa one after another, and they all looked at it. Lao Zhao.
Undoubtedly, as Wenquan Xin asked, something must have happened to Yang Xue and Wang Qiang during this trip, otherwise it would be impossible for these two usually lively characters to suddenly turn into unconscious walking corpses. (To be continued.)
