The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 145: Encounter Amidst the Mountains and Rivers

"I don't know..." Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, his mouth curling into a mocking smile.

"My people haven't found any information..."

"That's quite interesting..." Fu Xiao said with a faint smile, "A village that doesn't farm, with the village head leading road blockades... The county committee couldn't possibly be unaware of this?"

Although she didn't understand the responsibilities of the county committee secretary before, she learned from Fu Wei Lun that basically every village's harvest and work situation had to be reported periodically.

Mu Lianshen lightly tapped the table and glanced sideways, "Make sure to investigate thoroughly; there must be something going on with the public security bureau."

He clearly remembered the man shouting while he was held at gunpoint. The man had insisted on being handed over to the county police...

That declaration had carried a tone of brazen confidence.

"If manpower is insufficient, call our head office," Lu Yuan said with an even brighter smile. "Our team is already on its way, Uncle Mu. Don't worry; we're very familiar with such tasks."

"Hahaha, didn't expect this unlucky bunch to run into you."

Under Mu Lianshen's cold gaze, Lu Yuan stopped laughing and cleared his throat lightly, "If you have nothing else, you may leave now. I'll inform you once things are settled."

Fu Xiao couldn't help but speak up, "Those two children aren't born of her. A woman can't give birth to such big children. You should have an experienced obstetrician check her; then you'll know."

Lu Yuan responded with a smile, "Don't worry, sister," reaching out involuntarily towards her head.

Fu Xiao rolled her eyes and moved aside to avoid him.

Behind them, Mu Lianshen kicked him, sending him staggering. "Who are you calling sister? Get out..."

Lu Yuan steadied himself, still wearing a proper smile, and politely nodded to everyone. "Then I won't see you off. Until we meet again..."

Watching him leave, Mu Lianshen turned to Fu Xiao and asked quietly, "Shall we continue?"

Fu Xiao nodded. Since someone had taken over the matter, it was indeed time for them to head home.

The group quickly tidied up and resumed their journey home.

This time, the journey on the main road was smooth, and by noon, they had reached the boundary of Anyang County.

They stopped the car there.

Shen Xingzhou looked at the two siblings with a smile in his peach blossom eyes and a hint of sadness in his tone, "So, goodbye?"

Fu Yu chuckled lightly, "Goodbye, come visit again when you have time..."

Shen Xingzhou smiled faintly, "Alright..."

Though he enjoyed being with them, the feeling of having friends was pleasant and made life seem less dull, he had his own affairs to attend to and his own path to follow.

Since his health was no longer a concern, there was no rush; after all, there would be other opportunities in the future.

Shen Xingzhou's gaze shifted to Fu Xiao, looking at the girl who had given him a new lease on life—a girl he found very contradictory and hard to understand.

She had given him a chance at life when he was on the brink of giving up.

The midday sun was a bit glaring...
