Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Upon arriving at courtyard number 28, Lou Xiao'e poured Wang Feng a cup of tea. Wang Feng asked, "Son, did Uncle Lou send any news yesterday?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "No, Uncle Lou came by three days ago and said that my parents had been sent to the detention center. He also said that they had already taken care of things at the detention center and told us to leave without worry. We haven't heard anything from Chairman Chen either."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng clenched his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

This Chairman Chen is really good at hiding things. He has already spent a lot of money to find out about Chairman Chen from all sorts of people, but so much time has passed and there is still no news.

In the past few days, Xiao Huangyu has spent more than 200 fish trying to find out about Chairman Chen, which is worth more than 50,000 yuan.

You can imagine how much 50,000 yuan was worth in those days, and how much it could buy.

What he wants to do most right now is to subject that Chairman Chen to all ten of the most brutal tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

He hates it when people play hide-and-seek with him. He feels terrible when he can't find anyone, and no matter how good he is, it's useless.

With a sigh, Wang Feng had no choice but to accept reality; if he couldn't find the person, there was nothing he could do.

Just as Wang Feng was racking his brains trying to find Chairman Chen, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard gate.

"Knock knock knock".

Wang Feng made a 'shh' gesture to Lou Xiao'e, who understood and quickly returned to her room.

Wang Feng quickly arrived at the courtyard gate and asked casually, "Who is it?"

"Young master, it's me, Lou San."

Upon hearing Lou San's voice, Wang Feng quickly opened the door.

Lou San had just entered the courtyard when he closed the door and hurriedly said to Wang Feng, "Son-in-law, the verdict for Chairman Lou and his wife has been handed down."

Just as Wang Feng was about to speak, Lou Xiao'e rushed out of the room and asked anxiously, "Uncle Lou, how long were my parents sentenced to? How are they doing now?"

Lou San shook his head with a wry smile: "Chairman Lou hoarded three hundred catties of gold, which constitutes serious speculation and profiteering, as well as the crime of disrupting financial order. He was sentenced to eighteen years."

"Please be lenient, Madam. She was only assisting Chairman Lou, but she was still sentenced to ten years. I've taken care of things at the detention center, and Chairman Lou and Madam are both doing well now, so please don't worry, Miss."

"News has come in that Chairman Lou and his wife will be escorted to Qinghe Farm in Baoding tomorrow."

After speaking, Lou San and Lou Xiao'e both looked at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng waved his hand, looking confident: "Don't worry, since I said I was absolutely confident in rescuing my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will never go back on my word."

"Baoding is not far from Beijing. I assure you, as long as my parents-in-law arrive at the farm, I will definitely rescue them within three days."

At this point, Wang Feng looked at Lou San and asked, "Uncle Lou, the way I rescued my father-in-law and mother-in-law is a core secret of my Wang family. I won't tell you how I rescued them, but I can guarantee that I will rescue them safely."

"Here's my plan: after I rescue them, I'll arrange for you all to meet them so you can all feel at ease. Then, I'll immediately send them to Hong Kong Island. Uncle Lou, you and Uncle Lou should consider whether to stay in Beijing or follow my father-in-law and his family to Hong Kong Island to develop their careers."

Upon hearing this, Lou San replied without hesitation, "Young Master, there's no need to consider it. The lives of the three of us brothers were given to us by Chairman Lou. Of course, wherever Chairman Lou is, we'll be there too."

Wang Feng nodded: "Okay, then let's arrange it like this. Uncle Lou, prepare everything you can take with you. If you can't take it, exchange it for gold. If it's not very valuable and hard to liquidate, just throw it away. I estimate you'll be leaving Beijing for Hong Kong within three days."

"The route from Beijing to Hong Kong Island is very safe. My people have made meticulous arrangements, so it is 100% safe. You can rest assured. As soon as I rescue my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will immediately arrange for you to leave Beijing."

"Also, don't forget to find out about Chairman Chen these next few days. If you find any clues about him, notify me immediately."

Lou San gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Don't worry, son-in-law, I will arrange everything properly. However, there are only three days left. I estimate it will be difficult to find that bastard, Chairman Chen. This Chairman Chen is probably like a rat; he can hide too well."

"I will not be satisfied until I have torn that treacherous Mr. Chen to pieces before I leave Beijing."

Because of Chairman Chen's betrayal, Chairman Lou and his wife were imprisoned. The three Lou brothers hated him to the bone, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood to vent their hatred.

Wang Feng said in a deep voice, "Uncle Lou, even if you leave Beijing and go to Hong Kong, I will find that bastard Chairman Chen and tear him to pieces. Don't worry."

Lou San felt a little better after hearing Wang Feng's assurance.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you, son-in-law. If there's nothing else, I'll head back and make preparations."

Wang Feng nodded: "Go ahead, Uncle Lou, take care."

After Lou San left, Wang Feng and Lou Xiao'e returned to the house. Lou Xiao'e asked with some concern:

"Brother Feng, are you planning to rescue my parents first, then send them to Beijing to meet us, and then arrange for them to go to Hong Kong Island?"

Wang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "That's right. You've been worried sick about your parents lately. How can you be at ease if I don't let them see you? Besides, we won't be going to Hong Kong Island for the next few years, and your parents probably have a lot to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e became even more worried.

"Brother Feng, the risk is much greater, isn't it? My parents have disappeared on the farm, and they will definitely be wanted. If they are still in Beijing, they will be easily discovered. For safety's sake, you should arrange for them to go to Hong Kong Island directly from Baoding after you rescue them. We have plenty of time to catch up in the future. If something unexpected happens and you get involved, that would be troublesome."

Wang Feng waved his hand dismissively and laughed, "Son, don't worry. I'm 100% sure there won't be any accidents. I've arranged all the details. I assure you, I'll make sure your parents get to Hong Kong safely. Just stay home and wait to see them."

Hearing Wang Feng say that, Lou Xiao'e finally felt relieved.

"By the way, son, you're a wanted criminal now, so you absolutely mustn't go out. Even if you do go out to buy something, wait until Jingru and I get here so we can go out and buy it for you, okay?" Wang Feng said worriedly.

Feeling Wang Feng's concern, Lou Xiao'e felt very sweet inside. She nodded her little head and said sweetly, "Okay, I understand."
