Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The four of them played especially happily. A group of other children joined in as well.

Su Yuanyuan sighed once again in her heart, realizing that children really need playmates. She thought about taking the children to the city to live when they turn five, so they could attend school.

Actually, it's the same wherever they are; she could teach them herself. But now she understands that children need playmates, need friends to grow up with them, something that parents cannot provide.

Listening to the children's laughter, she felt this was childhood innocence. Since she never had such a life, she didn't want to leave regrets for the children.

The local ways here are still quite simple. The children playing together didn't bully them even though they were three outsiders and younger.

Su Yuanyuan was very patient with the children, just watching them play from the side.

It was past five when mosquitos started appearing in the fields, so she called them back.

The children from the village also left with smiles. Some even arranged to play with Qi Yan the next day.

The four of them walked along the country path.

"Mom, let's come to play again tomorrow."

"We need to go find your dad."

The three children nodded, "Find Dad."

The four of them returned. The water Su Yuanyuan had prepared for them was just right. She let the three of them eat first, with dinner consisting of egg custard and half a bowl of porridge each.

They rested for a while after eating before taking a bath. Su Yuanyuan left the bamboo mat and kang mat uncollected.

She let the three children get in the car. Su Yuanyuan drove off.

The evening was quite cool. The children slept soundly.

In the middle of the night, they had already merged onto the main road. As long as they followed this road, they would definitely encounter Tan Shaoting.

The second group sent out had already met with Tan Shaoting.

They only knew of the person but did not know what he looked like. When the two cars passed each other, Tan Shaoting squinted his eyes. What was this team?

They noticed the license plate of the car Tan Shaoting was driving.

About ten minutes after passing each other, they turned around.

"There's a woman in that car."

"So that was Tan Shaoting?"

"But where's the woman?"

No one answered these questions.

"Then let's just catch Tan Shaoting directly."

The other four said nothing. There was no such order from above, but since they couldn't find the woman, they couldn't go back without an explanation.

If they really caught Tan Shaoting, it would be alright even without the woman, right?

Tan Shaoting already knew they had turned around to follow him.

It was truly unbelievable. Judging by this setup, they were coming after him.

Right now, he was in a hurry, wanting to see his wife and children immediately. If they're blind to this, they shouldn't blame him.

Tan Shaoting didn't slow down at all, and the car behind was pursuing wildly.

The three people in the car behind were jolted around. Lu Shaoqun kept wanting to say something, but no one paid attention to him.

He knew there wouldn't be a good outcome for him if he went back.

But there wasn't a single opportunity. When they passed a car earlier, he felt hopeful again and kept praying in his heart.

As long as Tan Shaoting didn't stop, they couldn't dare to demand a stop.

Since he was in a hurry, Tan Shaoting only stopped to refuel. Then he went directly to a restaurant to buy some buns, meaning he would deal with meals in the car.

The two responsible for escorting felt bitter at heart but endured it.

Lu Shaoqun had grievances. Who would bother with him?

As he drove, he ate a bun, not caring about the three behind him at all. Anyway, the food was prepared; eating it or not was up to them.

In about another day and night, they would meet with Daqing and the others.

Because they had delayed by half an hour, the car behind caught up with them.

In the wilderness, the car behind fired the first shot.

Tan Shaoting's facial expression didn't change at all.

"Your task is to guard Lu Shaoqun closely. Even death won't be enough to make up for mistakes."

"Yes, leader."

Tan Shaoting stopped the car. He got out and walked over directly.

At this point, four of their five had gotten out.

Tan Shaoting wouldn't take them seriously and certainly wouldn't give them a chance to shoot.

In just two minutes, all four were down.

Now, Tan Shaoting's face was as dark as it could get, almost dripping with water.

He already knew that their mission was targeting his wife and children.

The fifth one in the car was a bit scared. But he knew he was doomed this time. If he escaped, it would also be a dead end.

So he stepped on the gas hard, intending to ram into Tan Shaoting.

The three people in the front car were stunned by Tan Shaoting's actions. Those moves, that skill, that speed.

Lu Shaoqun was now utterly dejected. Trying to escape from someone like this, there wasn't a chance at all.

The two escorts were full of admiration for Tan Shaoting, finding him a true model and pride.

Thinking he would meet with Daqing and the others, they didn't have a car, so that worked out perfectly. So he controlled that person, and the car had just started to rush forward when it stopped.

Since he already knew their purpose, these were all small fry. They knew nothing about higher matters, so Tan Shaoting didn't spare him.

When he drove to his own car again from behind.

"Which one of you can drive? Get off and follow me with that car."

Just like that, one car became two cars.

Tan Shaoting was genuinely anxious. Although he knew the first wave had failed, which should have been his wife's doing, and the second wave was dealt with by himself, his wife and children were now safe. But he was truly anxious. He couldn't be at ease until he saw them.

The driver following behind was nervous, fearing being left far behind as the leader drove so fast. To keep up, he had to floor the gas pedal. Man, the leader's car was really fast.

At night, they refueled directly from barrels and were still eating buns.

It was supposed to take a day and night to reach the junction, but Tan Shaoting managed to arrive half a day early.

Seeing the markers on the road, he knew Daqing and the others were already there.

After driving another five minutes, three people emerged from the woods.

Tan Shaoting stopped the car.

"Leader, the task was successfully completed."

"Hmm. Not bad. The three of you get in the car. Xiao Ding, you can get off. When you get to the city tomorrow, figure out how to get back yourselves. I'll call zero points for you guys when I get back."

The two saluted but didn't dare take any detours. The leader had remained silent throughout the journey, which was quite intimidating.

Lu Shaoqun knew he had no chance at all, so he had been much more honest.

Over there, they had reached a bright area; this car was driven by Daqing. Tan Shaoting sat in the passenger seat, resting with his eyes closed.
