Chapter 497: 497 Revenge
The three children saw that there were many books here, so each took one and obediently started reading.
Yuanyuan kept her eyes on the outside, knowing that they had arrived, sensing the truck had stopped.
She heard a scream. How could a man's voice be sharper than a woman's? It was quite terrifying, indeed.
Things were in chaos now. My goodness, six people following behind, and yet they couldn't keep an eye on one woman and three kids.
If this gets out, probably no one would believe it, right? But that's the truth.
Yuanyuan, in the space, saw two men approaching, "What's going on?"
"We captured that woman. Then Chief and the others watched them from behind.
But now this is where we ended up."
The two men looked at the six people on the truck and had no choice but to believe it.
"The six of them are still alive. Find someone to wake them up."
Yuanyuan watched from the space as they carried these six people out and followed them into a big courtyard.
There were two other trucks and two jeeps. In the dozen rooms, there were over twenty people.
The six were carried into a room where two doctors were checking their eyelids and feeling their pulses.
Finally, one was revived using acupuncture. Yuanyuan watched the wooden-eyed person, still feeling uneasy, fearing they might remember something.
But if that's really the case, then the electric baton would be suspected. One after another, a few others woke up. But they all reacted the same.
"What's going on? Why don't they respond when called?"
"Leader, we don't know either. Their heads likely suffered major trauma. But we didn't find any wounds during our check."
"So, does this mean they might turn into idiots?"
"Highly possible."
"Alright, keep observing them."
Yuanyuan left with the two men. The two didn't talk on the way until they entered the office.
"Judging by this method, it must have been Tan Shaoting rescuing his wife and kids."
"But considering what we know about Tan Shaoting, he wouldn't just let this go."
"This must be reported immediately. We've lost six people."
"Damn it, eight people couldn't handle one woman and three kids?"
Yuanyuan cursed softly in the space. If it weren't for the space, she would have fallen into their trap.
She watched as the two made a phone call. She could still hear it from the space.
There was a long silence on the other end before saying they understood.
After hanging up, the two were in a terribly bad mood.
Goodness, just two words, and they lost six brothers.
Meanwhile, Tan Shaoting met with the top leader and handed over Shen Zhigang's notebook.
"Leader, my wife found this while packing.
She mentioned meeting a compatriot at the library, probably a scientist.
My wife teaches the kids to be patriotic and not to forget their roots.
Maybe it stirred something in that person's heart?"
"This is precious. Rest assured, tell your wife she won't be mistreated in the future."
Tan Shaoting shook his head, "My wife doesn't care about such things.
Leader, if there's nothing else, I'll be off. The kids are growing and need to attend school. We've bought a house here, and I need to tidy up today."
"Alright, you may go."
After leaving the leader's office, Tan Shaoting ran into Zeng Zhenqing, and they chatted for a while.
"Xiao Tan, you might as well transfer over to work here. It'll save you from commuting both ways."
"I'll follow the arrangements. But I must return home every day."
"You know, I was thinking, if I'd had such an opportunity back then, I would have done the same as you.
Now the kids just have respect for me, but no closeness. Yet when I look at your kids, I genuinely envy you."
"I don't want to have any regrets later. By the way, we've already bought that house. I'm going to find someone to tidy it up; the kids will probably come in September for school."
"How will you get it done? Let me tell you, there's a mason not far from the house you bought. You can hire him if you're short on time."
"Sure, still need a lot of furniture, don't we?"
"No worries, once the house is tidied up, you can go to logistics. They have lots of collected furniture. Choose what you like."
"Great, thanks to the leader, I'm not at ease leaving them alone, I'm heading back."
Tan Shaoting drove home, found the house locked, so he drove into the courtyard.
The supply and demand cooperative wasn't far. So he locked the door and went there, thinking his wife and kids hadn't returned yet.
But upon arriving, he didn't see his wife and children at the cooperative.
This made him a bit anxious. "Comrade, have you seen a woman with three identical children?"
"Saw her, she left about half an hour ago after buying five locks."
"Half an hour ago?"
"Yes. Actually, almost forty minutes."
Tan Shaoting thanked the person and left the cooperative. Standing outside, he thought, did his wife go to the building or the school?
Shouldn't be, right? If she went to the school, she'd surely wait for him.
Thinking this, he walked quickly to the building.
But as he walked, he noticed tire tracks.
No, a truck shouldn't have passed here.
So he stood at the truck's location. Suddenly, he saw his wife's button. This must be hers. He could sense it.
This made Tan Shaoting anxious, but he calmed himself. He mustn't panic; mustn't panic. His wife would be alright.
He followed the tire tracks, roughly determining the direction, and then turned back to run.
Drove in pursuit in that direction.
He desperately ordered himself to stay calm, trying to sense his wife's presence. He didn't dare drive too fast, fearing he'd miss something.
Though worried for his wife, he was sure she wouldn't be in life-threatening danger.
The kids were with her; otherwise, she would have resisted at the time.
Meanwhile, Yuanyuan, in the office, listened to them arranging work and picked up some clues. So they intended to rebel.
Truly unexpected, unsure where their confidence came from. Or maybe they were just overconfident.
Hearing them still dream of becoming founding heroes was utterly laughable.
Actually, Yuanyuan considered knocking the two out with electricity, but thought they might be useful to Tan Shaoting. So she waited.
She checked the time, Tan Shaoting should be arriving soon.
In her man, she had absolute confidence; he would definitely come.
So she controlled the space, leaving far beyond this courtyard, then came out in a hidden place.
Thinking this wasn't working, she decided to keep moving forward. That way, she would definitely meet Tan Shaoting.
