Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Don't worry, I'm just going out for a walk. I've been so bored sitting in the car these past few days!"

Inside a dilapidated mud-brick house, four people ate long-dried steamed buns and drank well water that had been drawn for who knows how long.

Wang Jiawen didn't even dare to light the kang (heated brick bed), for fear that the smoke would attract attention.

On the other hand, Lu Jiacheng and that child had somehow become good friends.

He was huddled in a corner, playing with his fingers.

"If the child can tolerate it, can't you? You're not allowed to go out!"

Wang Jiawen snorted coldly and placed the already fired pistol on the table.

"Master, stop messing around, okay? I'm not going. We can't afford for anyone to find us in this remote corner. And you, why didn't you just run away? You even fired a gun!"

"Now that's great, even more people will definitely come looking for us."

Fine, I won't go then, but Wang Defa's foul mouth showed no sign of stopping: "Master, what exactly is your plan? Why aren't you telling me now?"

"We're in this together now, why are you always so wary of me?"

Wang Jiawen had never seen such a disobedient underling.

Over the years, he has abducted dozens of children, and his henchmen have changed batch after batch.

He was the first person to dare to speak to him like that.

"Just stay put and do as I say! Why ask so many questions?"

After Wang Jiawen finished speaking, he chewed two bites of steamed bun.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he turned his head, lay down on the earthen bed, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Wang Defa was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and was about to remind him that the gun had not yet been put away.

But out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wang Jiawen, then at the gun.

He gestured for the two children to be quiet.

Leaning against the wall, he squinted and began to plan.

It's important to know that Wang Jiawen killed someone, but he didn't actually do it.

Moreover, his target is Lu Jiacheng.

If Wang Jiawen hadn't stopped him, saying that every industry has its own rules...

He had long since disappeared, leaving Lu Jiacheng with nowhere to put him!

If you just dump him in some desolate wilderness, let alone find him, it's uncertain whether Lu Jiacheng will even survive for more than a few days.

"You must be Uncle Wang Defa."

Gradually, darkness enveloped the earth.

The people inside remained in the same position as before; no one moved.

However, Lu Jiacheng's voice broke the silence.

"Um?!"

"Even though you look different now, you still have the same habit: you're either playing with dice or carrying a playing card."

Lu Jiacheng's bright eyes gleamed in the darkness.

"you..."

"Uncle Defa, please let me go back. Don't kill me. My dad said that problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems."

No matter what the grudge is, as long as the money is right, everything will be settled. You know my family is rich, so please don't kill me.

"Just let me go back, and I'll have my dad give you money."

Lu Jiacheng, despite his young age, was quite precocious. His words instantly made Wang Defa, who was still in surprise, laugh.

"Money? Am I a penniless man? I'm just burning with rage!"

"But you can't even afford cigarettes anymore, you can smoke the kind of dry tobacco my grandpa used to smoke..."

With just one sentence, Wang Defa was rendered speechless.

This amused Wang Jiawen, who had just been snoring.

"Alright, enough already. You're still calling yourself a master? You can't even understand a little kid. Go to sleep and don't do anything unnecessary. This trip has been exhausting enough."

Wang Defa blushed with embarrassment, looking at the gun on the table and then at Wang Jiawen, who had started snoring as soon as he finished speaking.

I don't know who he was testing by doing this.

However, he doesn't fall for any tests, even though he killed someone during the day and can still sleep so soundly at night.

If you didn't have a few lives on your hands, you couldn't be so calm.

He was only doing this to protect Lu Weiguo, to retaliate against him for not letting him have contact with Liu Ermei, and out of jealousy that he could earn so much money.

I really don't want to get blood on my hands.

The reason he followed Wang Jiawen was not because he really wanted to abduct children.

Instead, he learned that amazing disguise technique so he could later make a living in casinos.

But. . .

"Master, I'm going to the restroom and have a smoke to calm down."

Wang Defa did not hear a reply and walked out on his own.

The next morning.

Director Xiong finally made contact with Lu Weiguo.

"Two adults and two children, the car, and the driver all match up. It's just that the driver was shot and killed. Before he died, he shouted that these people were human traffickers."

The villagers said it ran into the mountains. We're organizing people to search for it now. Aren't you a hunter too?

Furthermore, there must be some kind of telepathic connection between you and your son; otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to find us.

"You... if you're able, would you like to come up the mountain with us? The mountains here are very different from yours; they're extremely dangerous."

On the other end of the phone, Director Xiong read from his notebook and gave a detailed account of the situation, as if he were reporting on his work.

He also praised the bond between Lu Weiguo and his son.

"Found it? Good! Wait for me, get me some long pants, a long shirt, and a few pairs of leggings."

If possible, get me a gun.

Lu Weiguo immediately agreed.

Compared to danger, fathers care more about their children.

"Um... when we meet, tell them that if you go up the mountain from the back of your village, head east, and you'll find us. We'll meet up in the mountains."

I'm afraid my child might encounter danger in the mountains.

Clearly, Director Xiong has a better understanding of the situation here and has made more detailed arrangements.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Weiguo asked without looking up, "How much?"

At that time, phone calls were charged in both directions; both making and receiving calls cost money.

"Ten yuan."

At the village purchasing point, the dark-faced man inside was yawning incessantly. After speaking, he grabbed Lu Weiguo's clothes.

"Ten yuan?"

Lu Weiguo looked up in surprise. It wasn't that he didn't want to pay, but his subconscious feeling was that it was damn expensive!

Compared to finding his child, ten yuan was nothing; he didn't want to waste his time on these people.

"It doesn't look like it's being given away!!"

The dark-faced man gripped his clothes tightly, refusing to let go.

Before Lu Weiguo could speak, another man arranging goods at the purchasing station laughed and said, "Blackie, get the hell out of here! Ten bucks for a phone call? Are you fucking desperate for money?"

Don't bully me just because I'm from out of town. So what if I lost ten yuan last night? Why are you making things worse for me here?!

"Damn it! Is that my fault? I kept winning, but who knew that four-fingered idiot would have such good luck and win all my money in just two hours!"

"Four fingers!! Are you sure? You must have misread it, it's six fingers!!"

Lu Weiguo was unusually sensitive to the words "finger," and immediately grabbed the dark-faced man with his other hand, glaring at him.

"What are you doing? What do you mean? If you don't want to give it, then don't! What do you know? Five cents, that's the lowest I can go. Five cents, is that not enough?"

The dark-faced man felt the strength in Lu Weiguo's arm and immediately cowered.

If he were truly capable, he would have stopped the person who won money from leaving last night.

"This is number twenty. Tell me about that man with four fingers!!"
