I also nodded. Although I didn't want to accept this fact, everything in front of me pointed to one thing, and that was the disappearance of the third grandfather.
"He didn't want everyone to find out that Grandpa Three was missing. He wanted to divert attention and make everyone ignore the matter. So Xu Changge not only knew that Grandpa Three was missing, he also knew why Grandpa Three was missing and where he went. In other words,
The disappearance of Third Grandpa was most likely planned by Xu Changge!"
I said slowly, feeling more shocked with every word I said.
"Is something going to happen to Third Grandpa? Will Xu Changge take action against Third Grandpa?" Xu Xueyan, who has a close relationship with Third Grandpa, asked nervously.
I couldn't tell anything, I could only shake my head and said: "I don't know either. Don't think about everything in a bad direction. Maybe Third Grandpa is just hiding temporarily. After all, Third Grandpa and Xu Changge are still close relatives. Xu Changge
Even if you are blinded by power, you will never do anything treacherous."
Xu Xueyan sighed and said: "But this time, the third grandfather has been missing for too long, and he has never said hello to me. This thing is really abnormal."
I didn't know how to comfort her, so I could only stand by her side, pat her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will help you find out about this matter carefully."
Xu Xueyan nodded and said: "Okay, I will also investigate secretly. At worst, I will ambush Xu Changge."
I quickly said: "Don't go there easily. The three Yin people around Xu Changge are quite powerful. Together, even Xu Duanhe, your left guardian, can't easily take them down. If you go, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"
"
Xu Xueyan said: "Okay, then I'll do what I can."
After finally calming down Xu Xueyan's mood, I changed the topic to the old cat.
"Um... Xueyan, I want to ask you about Lao Mao." I said quickly, wanting to try to get closer.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xueyan didn't like me at all. When she saw me approaching, she quickly said vigilantly: "You should call me by my full name. Just call me Xueyan. I'm a little uncomfortable..."
I scratched my head and said, "Okay, Xu Xueyan, can you tell me something about the old cat? If we... want to rescue the old cat, when is the right time?"
This question is actually quite strange. Although Xu Xueyan has helped us more than once, she is still a member of the Xu family after all. This is equivalent to asking the kidnappers when is the most convenient time to rescue the hostages. This question is also ridiculous when you think about it.
Sure enough, Xu Xueyan rolled her eyes and said, "I've done my best to you, haven't I? Do I have to betray the Xu family and rescue the old cat and give it to you? To be honest, in fact, the seniors of the Xu family sometimes don't do what I do.
I agree, so I will help you in my own way. Old Cat's father is still my uncle according to seniority. I don't want to see something like that happen to him, so I don't want to see anything happen to Old Cat now...
But this does not mean that I will just let the old cat go."
I saw that Xu Xueyan was a little angry, so she waved her hands quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I know, don't worry, I'm not begging you to let the old cat go, I'm just asking... do you have any intention of letting him come out for some air?"
Xu Xueyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at me and shook her head and said, "Come on, Lin Yang, don't bother. I've said a lot about the old cat. The only thing I can tell you is that he may be there the night after tomorrow."
The stronghold in the northwest, I won’t say more about other things..."
Although Xu Xueyan seemed unwilling to cooperate with me, when I heard that she gave me the news, I immediately became happy.
Since you told me the old cat's location the night after tomorrow, it means that Xu Xueyan still supports us in rescuing the old cat.
I'm too lazy to think about Xu Xueyan's ulterior motives in telling me the news about the old cat's location so simply. Anyway, the old cat's safety is more important than anything else. Even if the Xu family unleashes a sea of knives and fire, we still have to rescue the old cat!
"Thank you, Xueyan!" I wanted to jump up. I didn't know how to thank Xu Xueyan. I was so excited that I forgot that Xu Xueyan didn't allow me to call her by her nickname.
Xu Xueyan looked at me with a half-smile and said, "Don't thank me anymore. I can't bear it, but we have to make an agreement. You'd better not hurt our Xu family too much. In fact, we have always been
He abides by the rules and has never harmed anyone in the world. As for the matter of the old cat's father, we have no choice but to do it."
I nodded quickly and said, "I understand, we all have our own difficulties, and this is something that cannot be forced."
Xu Xueyan nodded and said: "It's good that you understand. I think it's getting late, so I'd better prepare to withdraw. The third grandfather will definitely not come back tonight, and I don't know if he can come back again..."
When she said this, Xu Xueyan frowned slightly, showing a sad expression.
I quickly comforted myself and said, "Don't worry too much. Maybe there's nothing wrong, we're just overthinking it. I'll help you find out about Third Grandpa in the next few days."
Xu Xueyan nodded and walked away without saying much.
Looking at Xu Xueyan's back, I couldn't help but start to worry about Third Grandpa from the bottom of my heart. Although I had been comforting Xu Xueyan just now, when I really faced this matter, I realized that I actually had no idea about Third Grandpa's current situation.
What confidence.
Now that I had determined the time to rescue the old cat, I spent the night quite relaxed.
Dahuang slept all day and half the night. It seemed like this guy was really sleep deprived.
While he was sleeping, I rummaged through his fertilizer bag, but I still couldn't find his ghost-slaying sword. It seemed that this guy didn't lie to me. He really didn't bring the ghost-slaying sword back, and he was indeed unable to use it.
The sword is gone.
After confirming this matter, I felt very heavy, but when I remembered that Chen Xuance said that rhubarb might not need my worry, I felt an inexplicable hope.
Mr. Chen has always seen things very clearly. Since he said that Dahuang doesn't need me to worry, it means that he has discovered the clues.
What do crazy Taoists and Dahuang have in common?
This question has become a riddle, as if knowing this thing, I can understand the mystery of rhubarb.
I want to ask Dahuang myself, but I am afraid that if Dahuang never recovers, this question will pierce Dahuang's heart like a dagger, and it will be difficult to recover for a long time.
In the next day, I called Xu Changge again. There were two main contents. One was to tell him that the old cat would appear in the northwest stronghold the day after tomorrow. The other message was to make some insinuations and ask three questions.
Grandpa's whereabouts.
Xu Changge's reaction was exactly what I expected. As soon as Third Grandpa was mentioned, this guy started to change the subject without any intention of revealing any useful information.
This made me more suspicious of him and more certain of my previous judgment.
But after all, the old cat hasn’t been rescued yet, so it’s not easy for me to fall out with him directly.
Waiting until the night of the third day, Xu Changge informed us that he would gather near Weigong Village, and then sneak into the weird subway in the other direction together, and then head towards the Xu family's third stronghold.
At about 9:30 or 10 o'clock in the evening, Xu Changge showed up in his Land Rover. Yuan Qingjiang and the others seemed to be recovering well. Only Fahua still had some external injuries that could not be healed in time.
But what shocked me was that this time, in addition to the original three trippers, Xu Changge actually appeared with a fourth one. This person was Song Hongshan, who I had never imagined!
When I met Song Hongshan, my first reaction was not anger, but embarrassment. After all, I gave him a hard time last time, so I had nothing to feel angry about, but he should feel angry.
But this time Song Hongshan did not glare at me, but was surprisingly honest.
The injury on this guy's face has not healed at all. He looks like a bear or a panda. He lowers his eyebrows and looks a bit humble and respectful.
Could it be that a violent beating made this guy turn around?
