Chapter 250: Chapter 224 The Direction is Right Qin Yu, at this moment, couldn’t think independently. He was highly dependent on Rong Yan, naturally taking her word as gospel. He jumped off his bicycle and swiftly ran toward the direction of the police station... “There’s a mountain over here, the person might have entered the mountain,” Captain Lu examined the large mountain before him, “Xiao Li, go back to the station and call more people, we need to search the mountains overnight.” Xiao Li promptly responded, “Several hours have already exhausted them.” Meanwhile, Qin Ye had already ventured deep into the mountains. Captain Lu looked at the mountain with a grave expression...hoping they hadn’t gone the wrong direction. Mainly because when they had tracked to this location, there indeed were traces, and someone had seen it too. But the mountain was vast, those people... had no reason to really head into these mountains. Unless... a blind eye technique? A diversionary tactic? Or was it an intentional mislead? Thinking of this, his brows furrowed even more tightly. After receiving Captain Lu’s order, Xiao Li had already gone back to the station to find more people. *** Qin Family’s Team Madam Rong stood at the door, constantly looking out. It had been dark for so long, why hadn’t her daughter and son-in-law returned? Not to mention the couple, why hadn’t even the twin siblings returned? Then, Rong Wenming came out, “Stop looking, if they were coming home, they would directly enter through the front door, standing here looking out isn’t much use.” “What do you think has happened? If they aren’t coming home, shouldn’t they have sent a message? Don’t they know we would worry?” Madam Rong slightly complained. “There might be some issues,” Rong Wenming could only think this way, “Let’s wait inside.” Madam Rong glanced into the darkness a few more times, assured no one was appearing, and sighed. Then she closed the door and returned to the main room. “Let’s eat first, if they come back later, we can warm up the food.” It was already nine o’clock, Rong Wenming figured they might have already eaten out. Madam Rong initially wanted to say wait a bit longer, after all, they had already waited so long, a little longer wouldn’t matter. But thinking about Old Rong who couldn’t endure hunger, “...Alright.” “You don’t need to bring out all the food, just some is enough, I’m not very hungry.” The mealtime had passed, and his hunger had subsided, he wasn’t very hungry now. “Okay,” Madam Rong was also not in the mood to eat. She walked to the kitchen and casually prepared some food for their meal. The two of them ate without much taste. Madam Rong cleared up the dishes, typically at this time, the couple would have already gone to bed. At this moment, it was pitch black outside, “What time is it now?” Madam Rong asked. She didn’t have a watch, but Old Rong did, he had bought it back when he was still working. Indeed, her daughter had offered to buy her a watch, but she had strongly objected. Rong Wenming checked his wrist, “It’s half-past nine.” “So late already? I thought it was just past eight! What exactly is going on with them? Could it be they’re not coming back tonight?” Surely not! Where would they stay if they didn’t come back? Could it be at a friend’s place? Madam Rong didn’t think her son-in-law was that unreliable. “Do you think something happened? I’m feeling a bit uneasy.” Rong Wenming couldn’t say for sure what had happened, if they weren’t returning home...logically they wouldn’t leave without telling the family, unless it was some urgent matter. “Don’t worry, they might come back later, or they might be staying in town. It’s getting late, waiting here isn’t helping, let’s go back to our room and rest.” Madam Rong wasn’t in any state to sleep now. “You go ahead and rest, I can’t sleep now.” Seeing that she wasn’t moving, Rong Wenming naturally wouldn’t leave either, he pondered for a moment, “How about this, I’ll go outside and take a walk...” “I’ll come with you.” Madam Rong was not comfortable letting him go out alone in the dark. Rong Wenming originally wanted to say there was no need, but seeing her state, he could only agree, “Okay.” Just as he finished speaking, an abrupt knocking sound came from outside: “Is anyone home?” Madam Rong was initially delighted to hear the knock, thinking it was her son-in-law returning, but based on the words, she knew it wasn’t. She felt puzzled, “Who could it be at this time? Could it be Qin didn’t come back and sent someone with a message?” “Let’s go out and check the door.” As Rong Wenming spoke, he was already stepping outside. Madam Rong quickly followed. When Rong Wenming opened the door and saw a strange young man outside, he realized this person was likely sent by his son-in-law to relay a message. “Excuse me, are you Uncle Rong?” Rong Wenming nodded, “I am, what’s the matter?” Tie Niu looked at the person before him, “Uncle Rong, Brother Qin asked me to tell you they won’t be back tonight. You don’t have to wait for them, and you should sleep early.” “Are they staying in town tonight?” Rong Wenming asked, “Do they have a place to stay?” Tie Niu nodded, “They have a place, they are staying at their own house.” Rong Wenming:...? Madam Rong immediately interjected, “They’ve bought a house in town?” Tie Niu was stumped by the question, he was at a loss...didn’t these two know about the house in town? How should he respond? “... I’m not sure...” Madam Rong didn’t care about the house, “What exactly is going on with them?” “I...” Unlike his big brother, this young man certainly wasn’t someone who could lie. Madam Rong, sharp-eyed, could see by moonlight the man’s expression wasn’t quite right and quickly asked, “Is there something wrong?”
