Thinking that the Chu family is about to go bankrupt, Wang Qiang still has to bear a large share of the responsibility.
"But Xiaoli is in their hands. If I don't do it..."
Xiaoli?
Xiao Ran didn't ask any more questions. He was also a deeply affectionate person.
But if it harms the interests of the Chu family, he can't just sit back and watch.
"No matter what, I don't want anyone to hurt the Chu family." Xiao Ran said slowly.
Seemingly understanding what Xiao Ran meant, Wang Qiang trembled twice and said, "It's all my fault. You can punish me however you want."
"Where is Xiaoli now?"
"When I took out the account book, they released Xiaoli and I sent her back to the countryside."
"In that case, why did you bring her here in the first place?" Xiao Ran was a little confused.
"Life in the country is too hard. I originally wanted her to come and have a good life for two days. It just so happened that you all went out recently, so you can take her out for a walk. Who knew that something like this would happen."
Xiao Ran was doubtful: "Did someone help you steal the account book?"
Wang Qiang shook his head: "It's just me."
"Then how do you know the news? And how do you know where the ledger is?"
"It's the news from the Chu family, I don't know."
Wang Qiang just served them and didn't ask any questions.
"Alas..." Xiao Ran looked at Wang Qiang like this, and it seemed that he was not lying, but the thing had been done, and now he could only find a way to make up for it.
"Do you know how many goods Chu Sheng took away in total?"
Wang Qiang raised his head: "I can't read and I don't know clearly."
Otherwise he wouldn't come to the kitchen.
Xiao Ran understood and thought for a moment: "Laifu, lock the person up."
"If the truth is found out, I will make a decision."
After all, he was a kind and righteous person, but Xiao Ran still couldn't be cruel.
But we can't let him go, otherwise the servants in the house will do this, and the Chu family will collapse sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran felt a little depressed.
In this dynasty, there are too many miserable people, and he can't bear to be cruel!
In this case……
Xiao Ran finished cooking and returned to the house to see Chu Yanhong lying on the table from exhaustion.
"Get up and eat." Xiao Ran knocked on the table, and Chu Yanhong slowly raised her head.
"What's the rush?" Chu Yanhong glared at Xiao Ran.
"I'm so exhausted. I haven't exercised for so long. I feel like my whole body is falling apart."
Having said that, my hands are very strong, and I can gnaw on the corn.
"Tell you something." Xiao Ran looked at Chu Yanhong.
"You said..." Chu Yanhong was still eating something in her mouth and was vague.
"I will be responsible for investigating things later. Those servants involved, you can watch and deal with them!"
Xiao Ran really didn't know how to deal with it. After all, the rules for retaining and leaving these servants were unclear, so it would be better to let Chu Yanhong take action.
"It's a small matter, but why did you suddenly think of leaving this matter to me?" Chu Yanhong was a little confused.
"This..." Xiao Ran smiled awkwardly and told Chu Yanhong what happened this afternoon.
Chu Yanhong nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."
"Don't you think I'm too soft-hearted?"
Chu Yanhong shook her head: "No, you just don't encounter this kind of thing too often."
Before marrying Xiao Ran, I heard that he was also a playboy. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be such a person. He didn't even know how to deal with his servants.
But thinking that the Xiao Ran in the rumors didn't seem to be the same person in front of him, I could only think that the rumors were wrong.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Xiao Ran felt relieved.
He didn't want to get involved in Wang Qiang's affairs.
"By the way, how about An Ning?" Xiao Ran suddenly remembered.
The three of them went out and An Ning stayed in the house. I don't know if they were implicated.
Speaking of this, Chu Yanhong paused slightly, seeming to realize something.
"peaceful!"
They seemed to have almost forgotten, Xiao Ran stood up suddenly.
It's been a day since I returned home, and there is no news of peace at all.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look now!"
Chu Yanhong had no intention of eating and hurriedly followed Xiao Ran to the outside of An Ning's house. It was just dark and quiet, as if no one lived there at all.
"Go in and take a look!"
boom!
Xiao Ran opened the door and there was no one in the room.
After calling the servants in the house, they realized that everyone in An Ning's house seemed to have run away on the day of the accident, and they forgot that An Ning still existed.
"What about An Ning? Was he taken away?"
The servant shook his head repeatedly: "No, we were taken away before and we didn't see Miss An Ning. She must have been hiding."
"Hiding?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "That's right, that little girl is very smart, she must have gone into hiding."
"But, we are all back and she didn't show up. Could it be that something happened?" Chu Yanhong was a little worried.
Xiao Ran shook his head: "No, this little girl is stronger than you think, don't worry."
"If you don't come back, there is only one possibility."
"What's possible?" Chu Yanhong looked at Xiao Ran in confusion.
"It was so hidden that we didn't receive any news of our return."
At first, I was afraid of the impact of An Ning's injuries, so I didn't leave with An Ning.
He told An Ning that he would come back in half a month, but who knew he would come back early?
"Where will she hide?"
I'm a little worried about An Ning's current situation, and I can't just rest assured that she's out there alone.
Xiao Ran thought of a place, but was a little unsure.
"Call a few more people later and bring lanterns."
Xiao Ran ordered, Chu Yanhong didn't know why.
Seeing that it was getting dark, I found five or six boys and went out.
Chu Yanhong was a little worried and followed her.
When they reached the outskirts, Chu Yanhong was a little scared. The surrounding wilderness was surrounded by crows.
"Why did you come to this place?"
It was really scary at night.
"Don't you want to find peace? Are you afraid?" Xiao Ran smiled, Chu Yanhong was still so timid.
"How come An Ning comes to a place like this?"
As an adult, she was scared to death, and she didn't dare to think about how scared An Ning was here as a little girl.
"We still have to go a little further!"
Seeing the familiar path and two mountains, Xiao Ran pointed ahead.
The further we walked, the more eerie the surroundings became.
Chu Yanhong stopped until she saw the cemetery.
"Xiao Ran, it's unlucky to come here late at night!"
The servants also agreed, not daring to take another step forward.
"Peace should be inside."
This is the most hidden place that Xiao Ran can think of, and it is also the place where An Ning is most likely to hide.
"An Ning?" Chu Yanhong couldn't believe it.
"Yes, I have been to this place with An Ning before. If you are afraid, I can go by myself."
As a staunch materialist, Xiao Ran is naturally not afraid of this.
Chu Yanhong gritted her teeth: "I'll go with you!"
After glancing at Chu Yanhong, Xiao Ran did not refuse, and the servants had no choice but to follow.
After walking through the cemetery and coming to the door of the cabin, there was no light and no one seemed to be inside.
