“There’s no need to inform Xi. Your actions have already broken the law. It’s not something that can be resolved with a word from her.”

Liu Shuan did not want to talk to this shameless old man anymore. He said firmly, “Tie him up and send them to the police station tomorrow morning. We’ll talk about it when we get there!”

Qin Guobiao’s expression changed drastically and he was furious. “Liu Shuan, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the village chief. I’ve said it before. This has nothing to do with me. Why are you still arresting me?”

He then looked at the villagers and pointed at a random person. He ordered, “Go and call Qin Xi over. I want to see if that unfilial daughter really wants to send her grandfather to the police station.”

The person who was pointed at was stunned. “Why should I listen to you?”

Why did they have to listen to an arsonist like him?

Qin Guobiao was dumbfounded. His anger was instantly extinguished. It was as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, almost suffocating him to death.

“Alright, it’s already dark. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”

With that, the crowd dispersed.

It was drizzling at night. The September rain carried a hint of coldness.

Xu Wan was woken up by the cold.

When she woke up, she realized that she was tied to a big tree. If not for the snoring beside her, she would have been scared out of her wits.

Even so, her heart was pounding. She looked around in panic. Unfortunately, it was too dark to see anything. Fortunately, the sound of the rain slowed down her fear and nervousness.

“Auntie, Auntie… wake up. Hey…” Her voice was trembling violently due to partially the cold and partially the fear.

She called out a few times and realized that Hu Xiaofeng was sleeping like a dead pig and could not be woken up at all. Xu Wan’s anger finally reached its peak. She cursed angrily, “You fat pig, all you know is sleep. What time is it now? We’ve been kidnapped, and you’re still in the mood to sleep.”

However, just as she finished cursing, she saw Hu Xiaofeng open her eyes and stare at her.

Xu Wan smiled awkwardly and forced a smile. “Auntie, quickly think of a way. We are kidnapped. What should we do? Besides, where is this place? Why isn’t there anyone around?”

Hu Xiaofeng stared at Xu Wan intently for a while. Being stared at, Xu Wan felt goosebumps all over her body. When she was about to lose her grip, Hu Xiaofeng looked away.

Xu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She did not understand why Hu Xiaofeng had such a sinister gaze. She thought that Hu Xiaofeng had heard her cursing at her just now and did not dare to shout anymore.

“Auntie, what should we do? We won’t be trapped here forever, right? It’s raining. We’ll definitely fall sick if we keep getting drenched in the rain. QIn Gang and the others will come and save us, right?”

She sounded extremely uncertain because she knew very well what the Qin family was like. However, at this point, she could only place her hopes on Qin Gang.

Hu Xiaofeng looked around and immediately knew where she was. “Don’t waste your energy. There’s no one here.”

Xu Wan was so cold that her entire body was trembling and her teeth were chattering. “Where, where is this? Why don’t I have any impression of this place?”

“This is the back mountain. It’s still a long way from the orchard. Even during the day, no one will come here.” When Hu Xiaofeng said this, her heart was filled with intense hatred. She stared at the dark place in the distance.
