Chapter 442: 442 Return Trip
Su Yuanyuan got off the car and went to the back, while Tan Shaoting kept the three children entertained, watching him.
She brought over a plate of shrimp, all of which she had cooked and peeled in her free time for the kids to eat.
There was also an enamel basin of marinated beef, a bowl of garlic mixed with eggplant, and a bowl of rice.
The family of five ate in the car. The kids were quite satisfied with their meal, and of course, Tan Shaoting was the most satisfied.
Ever since the ring couldn't be used, he hadn't been eating much. He just couldn't get anything down.
After they were full, this time it was Tan Shaoting's turn to drive.
"Yuanyuan, you and the kids should get some sleep."
"Okay, sure."
She was indeed very tired. Taking care of three kids required a high level of concentration, fearing any mistakes. Now, with Tan Shaoting by her side, Su Yuanyuan truly felt the fatigue.
Tan Shaoting was especially content driving up front. Having his wife and kids by his side was what he considered the happiest thing.
Up ahead, Daqing and his team had also stopped for a meal, so Tan Shaoting caught up with them after an hour.
"Leader."
"Let's head back together."
"Yes."
This made the three of them very happy. Having their leader around made them feel at ease.
Lu Shaoqun was truly in despair. If it weren't for this person, he might have had a sliver of hope, but now he had nothing.
He had no idea where he would be sent. He had no certainty in his heart. Now, he was conflicted. Should he confess everything to maybe gain a chance at survival? Even without freedom, living is always better than dying, right?
Now he had no illusions at all. After the three cars had traveled for half an hour, they found a large forest. Tan Shaoting had already scouted the area and found nothing. They rested there. When the sun went down, they would set off again, as his wife and kids were already sweating.
Daqing and his team were also quite tired. They were more than willing to take a break.
After getting off the car, they didn't need instructions and checked the area to ensure there were no issues. Only then did they feel relieved.
Lu Shaoqun was tied up, but he didn't dare to run, even though there was only one person by his side. He lacked the courage.
Once everything was arranged, "You three take a rest."
Daqing and his team obediently lay down on the ground and soon fell asleep.
Tan Shaoting opened the car doors to fan his wife and kids, making them sleep more comfortably. He didn't spare a glance at Lu Shaoqun.
Lu Shaoqun was speechless. Wow, the demon that could instantly kill several people was actually fanning his wife and kids? What kind of situation was this?
He was truly shocked and couldn't believe this was something this person could do.
But this scene was right in front of him. He couldn't believe his own eyes.
Su Yuanyuan woke up first, sat up, and got out of the car, making the three kids sleep more comfortably.
"You should rest too, I can handle it."
Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile and lay down in the front seat, closing his eyes.
With his wife and kids by his side, he felt secure too.
Lu Shaoqun felt his chance had come, so he was a bit restless.
Su Yuanyuan had her back to him, but she split her Divine Sense to keep an eye on him.
Seeing him like this, she knew he wanted to run.
Just as he was about to stand up, Su Yuanyuan threw a stone at his knee, causing Lu Shaoqun to sit down immediately.
This time, he was truly discouraged. He really had no courage left. Even a woman who looked gentle and kind had such skills, so this was his fate.
You really can't judge a book by its cover. It makes sense that such a man with demon-like skills would have a formidable wife, right?
He was indeed foolish. If that man trusted his wife alone, she must have some skills too.
Seeing the man behave, Su Yuanyuan continued to fan the kids.
After another half hour, the kids woke up.
The three of them sat up, rubbing their eyes, softly calling out, "Mom."
Su Yuanyuan gave each of them a water bottle filled with Spiritual Spring Water, half a bottle each.
She watched as they drank it all before letting them down to relieve themselves.
Since there were others around, Su Yuanyuan carried the kids around to the other side of the car.
The three kids were completely awake now.
By this time, Tan Shaoting also got out of the car.
Qi Wen grabbed her dad's hand. "Catch grasshoppers."
"Okay, Dad will catch grasshoppers with you."
With that, Tan Shaoting took the three kids to play, while Su Yuanyuan sat by the car reading a book.
She was currently reading a book on sculpture, but it wasn't about jewelry, it was about ornaments.
But this was good. If she had nothing to do, she could make some ornaments to pass the time.
She was deeply engrossed, not paying any attention to Lu Shaoqun.
Yet this guy had no intention of running away. He really had no courage left. Otherwise, his life would be forfeit.
Daqing and his team slept for three hours before waking up.
This time, they had a particularly sound sleep. When they woke, they saw Lu Shaoqun lying on the ground asleep, while sister-in-law was reading a book by the car.
Su Yuanyuan glanced at Daqing and his team but said nothing.
All three of them had strong senses. They knew their leader was playing with the kids and were really envious of his relaxed mindset.
But Lu Shaoqun was behaving quite well. He hadn't tried to run?
Lu Shaoqun inwardly replied, "You don't know my struggle. How could I not want to run, but it's just impossible."
By now, it was almost four o'clock. Tan Shaoting brought the kids back. "We have one more hour to reach the town. We'll eat there."
Afterwards, we'll find places to eat on the road, otherwise, there's no way to explain it.
The three cars set off again and reached a restaurant. Daqing stayed behind to watch over Lu Shaoqun, while the others went to eat. He would eat last.
Lu Shaoqun wanted to say, "I won't run, really, I won't run anymore."
The kids were not used to eating porridge, but they were full. Su Yuanyuan was reassured. She could love her kids, spoil them, but they must not be spoiled.
Once they were full, they started driving at night. The lead car was driven by Tan Shaoting.
Su Yuanyuan lay at the back with the kids. To be honest, it was quite comfortable.
After drinking their milk, the kids drifted off quickly.
"Should I drive, and you sleep?"
"No need, I'm not tired. Yuanyuan, you sleep. It's comfortable at night."
Su Yuanyuan lay down. With her kids beside her, she soon fell asleep too.
It took them ten days to reach the garrison. Lu Shaoqun was immediately imprisoned.
After Tan Shaoting dropped off his wife and kids at home, he went back to the office.
Zeng Zhenqing looked at Tan Shaoting with admiration, thinking to himself, this young man is truly impressive. There's nothing he can't accomplish.
