C268 Rescue Yi Chen
Mu Qingqing became a little more rational. She closed her eyes and looked through the grey bricks and black tiles. Other than Mu Yichen, there were eight other people there.
The four children were all locked in separate, pitch black iron cages. Among the children, only Mu Yichen was sleeping inside, while the others were staring at Mu Yichen. The place they were locked in wasn't a room at all, but a cellar. From time to time, rats would slip across the ground.
"Don't act rashly. I'll think of a way to contact Aa Qi and the others." After confirming that Mu Qingqing had calmed down a lot, Mo Xiaohe took out his phone and called Aa Qi and the others.
Mu Qingqing kept her eyes closed as she watched the scene below. She really wanted to rush down and beat up those traffickers and bring them to justice. However, her logic told her that this matter was not that simple.
One of the four adults was a woman. The other three were men, all around forty years old.
It looked like he was a habitual offender. Who knew how many pitiful children these beast-faced people had kidnapped over the years!
"I have already notified Aa Qi and Aa Jiu, they are rushing over here. You stay in the ship with Xiaoyun, I'll get off. " Mo Xiaohe pulled her by the wrist and walked to the chair to the side.
"Mu Qingqing shook off his hand." Don't think you know me well enough to command me. This matter has nothing to do with you. Yichen is my little brother, I can go down now. "
"Mu Yichen is also my disciple." Mo Xiaohe reminded her not to keep thinking about getting rid of the relationship. Sometimes, she really can't get rid of it all.
"I have to go down." Without explaining anything, Mu Qingqing turned around and walked down to the center of the ship.
"Okay, I'll take you down, but one thing is, you have to follow behind me. I'll ensure your safety." Mo Xiaohe chased again.
"Aa Qi and the others learned self-defense, so there's no problem for us to protect ourselves." Mu Qingqing said confidently.
The two of them got off the ship and entered the mountain forests of Z Province. Beneath their feet was a wet patch of land. Mo Xiaohe stepped on the ground under his feet and made sure that the sound wasn't too loud. Then, he grabbed Mu Qingqing's wrist and walked towards the farmhouse.
Next to it was an earthen floor and a kitchen. The innermost room was the cellar, and the entrance to the cellar was very far away. If he didn't move the firewood on top of the cellar, he wouldn't be able to find the location of the cellar.
Mu Qingqing followed Mo Xiaohe and squatted at the end of the wall, closing her eyes to take a look at the situation inside.
Three boorish men were playing poker, their faces all smiles.
"Ol 'Three, now that we've won all this money, we're going to make a profit. Don't be stingy." One of the men said smilingly to the man with the gold chain while playing cards.
"You guys are indispensable." The person called Third Bro was very happy. After all, it had been a long time since he had given such a fat vote.
However, upon closer inspection, Mu Qingqing's expression changed slightly.
"How could this be …" Mu Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
Mo Xiaohe turned around, covered her mouth, and whispered to her in a voice like air: "Don't make a sound."
Mu Qingqing stared at him with wide eyes and nodded her head, but she could not conceal the astonishment on her face.
Seeing that her expression was really exaggerated, Mo Xiaohe whispered into her ear and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"There's someone inside that I know." Mu Qingqing whispered.
Mo Xiaohe was a little shocked. "Are you very familiar with it?"
Mu Qingqing frowned and said with a conflicted tone, "He is a distant relative of our family."
She hadn't seen the fat man with the gold chain in about a dozen years, since her previous life.
"This is not a good place to talk, let's go." Mo Xiaohe pulled her by the wrist and walked towards the top of the forest.
The grey brick house shone with a dim yellow light. In this lonely forest, there was instead a hint of human smoke.
When they got to the top, Mo Xiaohe used the leaves of the tree to make a seat for Mu Qingqing. He looked worried.
Mu Qingqing carefully thought back to the man with the gold chain. She had only met him once in her previous life, and that was after Yichen went missing. This distant relative came to her house to find Su Cuiyun.
At that time, he also wore the gold chain around his neck and a greasy smile on his face, claiming that he was borrowing some money from Mu Anren and Su Cuiyun to do business.
"Cuiyun, I only lack this amount of money for my lousy business. Look, no matter what, we're relatives. Your family doesn't lack this amount of money, do you think?" The man called Ol 'Three didn't seem like he was asking for money, but instead felt that it was natural for him to give her Mu Family.
Su Cuiyun smiled as she looked at Mu Anren, who was making tea on the sofa. She seemed to be asking for his opinion.
At that time, Mu Qingqing was cutting vegetables in the kitchen and listening to their conversation.
"Ol 'Three, the money for Mu Family was not swept over by the wind. If you want to borrow money, that's fine. We'll write the promissory note, and it will be written in black and white." Mu Anren wasn't an idiot. After Mu An's furniture was built up, there were many people who would complain about Mu Family.
Most of the poor relatives were people from Su Cuiyun's family. There were also people who came to visit Mu Family everyday. They all thought that since Su Cuiyun had married a rich man, Mu Anren could just turn a blind eye to it. However, for those who needed to borrow money to do business, he drew a clear line between the fact that some people really needed help and the fact that some people were borrowing money under the guise of asking for money. It was as if he had taken a fancy to Su Cuiyun, who had a capable husband, and wanted to seize the opportunity to gain some benefits for himself.
The man with the gold chain slanted his eyes towards Su Cuiyun, his smile taunting her. He came to borrow money?
"Anren, Old Third is my cousin. He was here when we were married." Su Cuiyun hinted at Mu Anren.
"That's right, when you first got married, I even went with a lot of money. "Let's not talk about this. My mom has nothing to say to you. When did my corn bread come out of the wok? Didn't you send a portion over to your house?" Ol 'Three crossed its legs and placed its hands on the arm of the sofa without restraint, looking very pleased with itself for being his benefactor.
Su Cuiyun hurriedly nodded her head. "Yes, I'll keep that in mind."
"What use is there just memorizing it? Neither of you is willing to invest in us. Why would we write promissory notes for the sake of our relationship?" Cuiyun, are you looking down on me? Or do you look down on our family? " Ol 'Three rolled his eyes at her, looking a little displeased.
Mu Anren was speechless, this was Su Cuiyun's cousin.
"Nothing." Su Cuiyun explained awkwardly.
"How much do you want to borrow?" After enduring for a while, Mu Anren was a bit annoyed, so he asked him straightforwardly.
Ol 'Three stretched out his hand and gestured five.
"Five thousand?" Mu Anren asked.
"It's fifty thousand." Ol 'Three said impatiently.
Su Cuiyun's eyes twitched as she thought, "What a scoundrel!"
Mu Anren tilted his head and glanced at Su Cuiyun. There was a clear displeasure in his eyes. No matter how generous he was, he couldn't possibly lend this old man thirty to fifty thousand yuan, right?
"Third Bro, your fifty thousand is too much." Su Cuiyun's tone was calm as she tried her best to speak to him calmly.
"Isn't this the way to do business? Without enough money, how could I keep my shitty shop going? I still need to invest a hundred thousand. Your fifty thousand is already a small amount. When our family gave you corn cakes, you said you had to repay us. What? You're just saying that? " Ol 'Three said unhappily as he crossed his legs.
Mu Anren looked at the time on his watch and stood up. He said to Su Cuiyun: "I have something to do at the company, so I'll be leaving first."
"What do you mean? Do you not welcome me as a poor relative? " Ol 'Three was a perceptive person, so he naturally knew that Mu Anren didn't like him.
"Anren, about borrowing …" Su Cuiyun was a little flustered. She didn't want to give fifty thousand to Ol 'Three.
"You ate his corn cake. How about this? Tell Aunt Qiong to buy a hundred tortillas on the street and then send them back to him." Mu Anren said snappily.
The corner of Ol 'Three's mouth curled up into a cold smile.
"Since that's the case, you child …" Before Ol 'Three could finish, Su Cuiyun flew into a rage.
"Cousin, I will help you with your investment!" Su Cuiyun said this somewhat angrily.
Ol 'Three understood that she would think of a way to deal with this matter.
Mu Anren left home without looking back. Mu Qingqing also withdrew her head back into the kitchen.
After that, Su Cuiyun invited Old Third to the Sky Tower, and then saw him leave the Mu Family happily.
Now, recalling that time, Mu Qingqing finally felt that something was wrong. The man with the gold chain had actually colluded with Su Cuiyun. The two of them teamed up to kidnap and sell Mu Yichen.
But, but Mu Yichen is Su Cuiyun's biological son? This … this is unreasonable!
"Thinking about the distant relative?" Mo Xiaohe asked.
"Yes, I saw him in my previous life. At the time, I thought he was just a man who was after our family's money. " Mu Qingqing rubbed her hands. The temperature in the forest was low at night, and her hands had become stiff in this short period of time.
Leaning against a thick and sturdy tree, her mind was intensely thinking back to the past.
Mo Xiaohe held her cold hand. The warmth in it made Mu Qingqing look up.
"There's no time for you to recall the past. Aa Qi and Aa Jiu are about to arrive. We have to think of a way to rescue your brother first." Mo Xiaohe felt sorry for her, but he had to face the reality first.
