Chapter 171: Infiltrating the Village Chief’s House
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Before Su Meng left, she still managed to find out the location of Hong Si’s old house. After leaving the Village Chief’s house, she went straight to Hong Si’s house.
When she arrived, she found that Hong Si’s house did not fit in with other people’s. Other people’s houses were all newly built big houses, but Hong Si’s house was a small stone house with a hole in the window.
This house looked like a product of the last century, and it looked like it would collapse at any time. No wonder he didn’t come back and stayed outside. This house was too shabby.
Su Meng went in to take a look. There was only a low bed inside, with a few layers of sacks on it. There weren’t even proper bedsheets. However, that wasn’t important. The most important thing was that she could get Hong Si’s things. As long as there were personal things that Hong Si had used, she could find him.
After they were done, the three of them went to the convenience store in the village to buy some food. Then, they hid in the car and waited for the sky to turn dark. During the day, people came and went in the village. It was too inconvenient to move around.
After sleeping in the car for a while, the sky finally turned dark.
Lin Ai stayed behind to look at the car while Su Meng and Shen Jian went to look for Hong Si. Su Meng placed Hong Si’s photo on the compass and began to calculate.
The needle on the compass started to turn. After turning one round, it slowly pointed toward the Village Chief’s house. Su Meng was standing at the Village Chief’s door at this moment. When she saw this, her gaze darkened. Her guess was indeed correct.
In addition, what made her even more worried was that Hong Si’s physical condition seemed to be very poor. This was very dangerous.
“Boss, what should we do? Should we climb over the wall and enter?” Shen Jian asked Su Meng in a low voice.
“In order to save people, this is the only way.” However, the walls of the Village Chief’s house were too high, and the surroundings were bare, so it was not easy to climb. Su Meng circled around the Village Chief’s house and found a place to rest.
Finally, when she reached the back of the house, she had an idea. There was a mulberry tree behind the wall, and she could climb up along the tree.

“Boss, tell me the location. I’ll go. You wait for me outside.” Shen Jian rubbed his palms together. At this moment, he actually felt quite excited.
“Okay.” Su Meng relied on her observation of the Village Chief’s house during the day to tell Shen Jian her location. Then, she stood a little further away to take a look. Shen Jian was very thin. He climbed up the tree like a monkey. His movements were quite agile.
Su Meng was also a little nervous outside. After all, sneaking into someone else’s house at night was really too exciting.
Shen Jian had always been very strong at the critical moment. Not long after, he did come out. However, he was alone. After he jumped down from the wall, he staggered and ran toward Su Meng.
“Boss, Boss! Trouble!” Shen Jian ran toward Su Meng and whispered.
“Boss, Brother Hong is indeed at the Village Chief’s house. He is at the position you mentioned. Guess what? He actually lost his sight. Moreover, his body is very weak and his hands and feet were tied by ropes. I can enter and exit by myself, but how can I bring him out? I can’t climb the wall with him on my back.” Shen Jian was so anxious that he was sweating. As he spoke, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve.
Su Meng frowned. Although she was sure that Hong Si was at the Village Chief’s house, the Village Chief refused to admit it. Moreover, Su Meng had thought of the array formation that she had seen at that time. If she was not wrong, Hong Si was probably the core of the array.
When a person had the opportunity to change his fate and make a fortune, then that person was likely to do anything. Human nature was the most vulnerable to tests.
“Let’s go back and think of a way.” Su Meng called Shen Jian, and the two of them returned to the car first.
After thinking for a while, Su Meng finally thought of a way to save Hong Si. She waited for the next day to see the Village Chief.
The three of them stayed in the car for the entire night. Early the next morning, Su Meng brought Shen Jian and Lin Ai to the Village Chief’s house to knock on the door.
The Village Chief was still as cautious as yesterday. He only opened the door after confirming the other party’s identity.
When he saw Su Meng, his expression turned ugly. He greeted her with a stiff smile, “Miss Su, may I know what else you have to do today?”
“Village Chief, I want to make a deal with you. I’ll help you solve the problems in the village. How about you hand over Hong Si?” Su Meng smiled and her tone was serious.
“What are you talking about? We don’t need your help in the village.” The Village Chief refused.
