Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

After dinner, the three of them didn't even take a shower, just washed their feet, and went to bed early.

Lying in bed, Wang Feng comforted Lou Xiao'e for a while until she was exhausted, and then the three of them fell into a deep sleep.

......

Early the next morning.

Qin Jingru made meat buns. Wang Feng had just finished washing up and was about to have breakfast when he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

Wang Feng used his spiritual sense to probe outside the courtyard and saw that it was Lou San. He quickly walked to the courtyard gate and opened it.

Lou San walked into the courtyard, closed the gate, and said, "Son-in-law, last night I found that squad leader from the South City Public Security Bureau, and he has successfully delivered the note to Chairman Lou and his wife."

Wang Feng nodded: "That's good then. Anything else?"

Lou San's face was somewhat gloomy, and he frowned as he said, "According to the information provided by the squad leader, as of last night, Chairman Lou and his wife have not been subjected to severe torture. He said that the higher-ups are taking Chairman Lou's case very seriously, and have ordered the Nancheng Public Security Bureau to conduct a thorough investigation. Chairman Lou and his wife will most likely be sent to a farm."

Lou Xiao'e walked over and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lou, do you know when my parents will be sent down to the farm?"

Lou San shook his head: "It's hard to say. The usual process takes at least three days. Lou Dong's case involves a lot of things, and the police need to investigate thoroughly before sentencing. I estimate it won't be short. It might take ten days to half a month, or even more than a month."

Lou Xiao'e became anxious upon hearing that it would take so long.

Wang Feng can only rescue her parents after they arrive at the farm; the longer it takes, the longer her parents will suffer.

"Uncle Lou, now that my dad's case of hiding 130 jin of gold is a solid case, isn't there any way to smooth things over and get my parents to the farm as soon as possible? I don't care how much it costs."

Lou San shook his head with a wry smile: "Miss, the higher-ups have ordered a thorough investigation into Chairman Lou's case. We have no way to bribe them. Now we can only wait for Chairman Lou and his family to go to the farm and for the son-in-law to find a way to rescue Chairman Lou and his wife."

Lou Xiao'e wanted to say something, but Wang Feng raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Uncle Lou, during this time, you should keep in touch with that squad leader more often. If there is any news, or if my father-in-law and mother-in-law are subjected to severe torture, please inform me immediately. If you have nothing to do during this time, please keep an eye on that Chairman Chen for me. If there is any disturbance from him, please inform me as well."

Lou San nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, son-in-law, I will keep an eye on the situation with Chairman Lou. As for Chairman Chen, Lou Yi went to Chairman Chen's old residence last night, and now Chairman Chen's house is empty. I guess he moved out in advance because he was afraid of our retaliation."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Investigate! Investigate for me! No matter how much it costs, you must find Chairman Chen's whereabouts."

"Yes, son-in-law."

"Miss, sir, I have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Go."

After seeing Lou San off, Wang Feng and Lou Xiao'e returned to the house, both feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Wang Feng hadn't expected that Chairman Chen would hide so quickly. He had originally planned to kill Chairman Chen's entire family after rescuing Lou Bancheng and his wife, but now it seemed that they had been on guard against them all along.

Lou Xiao'e said worriedly, "Brother Feng, what should we do? The higher-ups are investigating my dad very thoroughly. He's already started transferring assets, so he can't withstand the investigation at all. And if this investigation continues, it will take a long time. Won't my parents suffer for a long time?"

Wang Feng sighed: "There's nothing we can do. Dad is a big capitalist, and now that this has happened, it's getting a lot of attention from higher-ups. We can only wait now, but I can guarantee that we will definitely rescue them."

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wang Feng, isn't Banxia's uncle a major general? Do you think if we ask Banxia to go to her uncle for help, we can rescue Uncle and Aunt? Or even if we can't rescue them, it would be good to make their situation easier inside and send them to the farm sooner, right? Didn't Brother Wang Feng say that once they get to the farm, he'll have a way to rescue Uncle and Aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope ignited in them.

Wang Feng shook his head helplessly: "It would be useful to ask Banxia's uncle for help, but not much. Even if he is a major general, he can't suppress this case. At most, he can make my parents live a little better in there, give them a lighter sentence, and send them to the farm sooner."

"Uncle Lou has connections in the Nancheng Public Security Bureau. He's taken care of things, so my parents won't have a bad time inside. If it were useful to find officials, I would have asked Li Huaide for help long ago. His father-in-law is a vice minister, and his influence is no less than that of a major general."

At this point, Wang Feng added, "Besides, after my parents arrive at the farm, I plan to arrange for someone to break them out of prison, so it's not convenient for officials to get involved in this matter."

"what?"

Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e stared wide-eyed at Wang Feng in shock. They never expected that Wang Feng's method of rescuing her parents would be a prison break. This was too crazy.

Lou Xiao'e said worriedly, "Brother Feng, the risk of breaking them out of prison is too great. If something unexpected happens, it will be a real problem. Besides, my parents are grown up, and farms usually have armed forces stationed there. How are you going to rescue them?"

"No, no, this is still too dangerous. Let's think of another way."

Qin Jingru also shook her head firmly in opposition, saying, "Brother Wang Feng, it's not that I don't want to save Uncle and Aunt, but if something happens to you, how are we supposed to live?"

Wang Feng waved his hand, speechless, and said, "Hey, what's going on in your heads? Do you think I'm that stupid? Do you think I'd send people to the farm to kidnap people?"

"To tell you the truth, I have connections on the farm. They are high-ranking officials who manage all the labor reform farms in the country. No matter which farm my parents are sent to, my acquaintance will go there. With this high-ranking official on the farm, we can work together from the inside and outside to rescue them without much risk."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Wang Feng in shock and asked, "Really?"

Qin Jingru blindly believed Wang Feng. Since Wang Feng said so, it must be true. She looked at Wang Feng and said with a grin, "Brother Wang Feng, you're amazing."

"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you? But this person's information is a top secret of our Wang family. You mustn't tell anyone else, understand?"

When Wang Feng lies, he doesn't even blink, and he tells the lies so convincingly that he almost believes them himself.
