Xiao Lingyu was supported in by Gong Tianhao, followed by Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang was holding a computer in his hands.

When Officer Li saw Xiao Lingyu, his eyes could not help but stare at her stomach. Then, he smiled and said, “It’s Miss Xiao.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “I’ll have to trouble Officer Li and others again.”

Officer Li smiled and said, “This is our duty, to begin with. You don’t have to be polite with me.” Then, his expression became very serious as he said, “Miss Xiao, what clues do you have with you?”

Xiao Wang placed the computer on the stone table. Then, Xiao Lingyu sat down and tapped on the keyboard a few times. Immediately, an image appeared.

This image was of two men wearing masks, holding a bottle of spray and spraying it under a tree.

“Where is this?” Officer Li saw the video and asked seriously.

“This is where our family usually herds the cows,” Xiao Lingyu said seriously. “Usually, the children and our cows will be there. Just in case, I have installed surveillance cameras there.”

It was not appropriate to expose Gong Tianhao’s identity, so Xiao Lingyu and the others came up with such an excuse after some discussion.

So when the Xiao Family heard this, they had a strange expression. Then, they glanced at Gong Tianhao and then at Xiao Lingyu. They had some questions, but they didn’t interrupt them.

Yue Qilin had deleted the part about selling and crippling the children to spare the Xiao Family the shock. Two thieves appeared on the screen. After sizing up the child for a moment, greed appeared in their eyes.

However, no one knew what they said, but in the end, they did not take the children away,

Even so, this scene still scared the Xiao family. They stared at the screen without moving their breathing.

Although they couldn’t hear what they said, from their expressions and actions, it seemed that these people definitely had mal-intention towards the children. Thankfully, they gave up in the end.

The Xiao family members were scared to death.

So close!

Four children were almost taken away.

If they were kidnapped, this would be a big tragedy in Taoyuan Village. The Xiao Family would become the sinner of Taoyuan Village. Fortunately, after some argument, the two men decided to leave the children be.

Then, the people saw the two men called a few big men over. They carried Little Light and Big Light away. The Xiao Family was shocked when they crossed the blockage with ease.

The Xiao Family didn’t know what this meant, but Officer Li knew that these people had special training. They went towards Back Mountain Village.

“So, they did go to Back Mountain Village.” Father Xiao gasped. “No wonder they didn’t show up on our village’s surveillance cameras.”

At this time, one of Officer Li’s colleagues, Xiao Chu, asked in puzzlement, “Why did these people spend so much effort to steal two cows?”

One cow could be sold for a little over a thousand. So two cows were at most four thousand RMB.

However, these people used drugs, trained specialists, and so on. The kidnappers were tempted to kidnap the children, but in the end, they chose the cows over the children? Wouldn’t children be more valuable on the black market? So why did these people go through so much trouble to steal two cows? This was unusual.

Regarding this question, Officer Li and his other colleague were also very confused. These people went through so much trouble just to steal two cows that were worth less than 4,000 yuan? This was illogical.

Noting the doubt, the Xiao Family was silent. Then, they looked at Xiao Lingyu in unison. Xiao Lingyu would need to decide how to explain this.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Officers, you may not know this, but my two cows are not ordinary cows. That small one is called the Little Cattle King in our village.”

“The Little Cattle King?” Officer Li and the other two were very surprised. This was the first time they had heard of something like that.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “This calf of mine is a little special. Its feces can make crops grow well. Perhaps this is the reason why people have their eyes on it.”

At this point, Xiao Lingyu said in a half-serious and half-joking manner, “Officers, please keep it a secret!”

Officer Li and the other two were slightly stunned, then nodded and said, “Of course.” They had heard about the incidents that happened in Taoyuan Village. Taoyuan Village had been chosen by a big company to be developed into a tourist destination. The village was almost forcibly demolished.

Even the town officials and county leaders came to demolish this place. But they were scared off in the end.

Then, within two days, the government at City Z was shaken. However, nothing happened to Taoyuan Village.

Officer Li wasn’t stupid. He had guessed that there must be someone protecting Taoyuan Village. This was someone they couldn’t offend. Many people in the system shared Officer Li’s opinion. Therefore, everyone was very cautious when dealing with Taoyuan Village.

When Officer Li heard Xiao Lingyu’s explanation and thought of the expensive vegetables sold by Taoyuan Village, he immediately guessed that this Little Cattle King might have something to do with it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be targeted like this. However, Officer Li was very smart and did not ask further.

Since they had already gotten the clues, they had to go to Back Mountain Village to continue their investigation. This was a large group of people stealing two cows in broad daylight, so it would attract attention. Plus, they would need vehicles to transport the cattle. That was an opening.

Since the cattle were so special, at least they won’t be in any mortal danger unless those people became desperate.

It was already late at night. Even if Officer Li wanted to continue the investigation, most of the villagers would be asleep already. They had no other choice but to return tomorrow.

When the three of them left, Mother Xiao packed some snacks for the three of them to take back and taste.

Officer Li and the other two couldn’t refuse, so they accepted it.

After the officers left, the Xiao family temporarily fell silent.

Not long after…

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked, “Yu ‘Er, when did you install the surveillance camera at the back mountain?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I didn’t. Brother Yue and the others did.”

“When did they do this?” Father Xiao asked curiously.

“On the first day they were here!” Xiao Lingyu said.

“On the first day?!” Father Xiao and Father Xiao nodded and said gratefully, “We have to thank them. If it weren’t for them, where would we find clues?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Gong Tianhao, “…” It was his order. Why did his subordinates get all the credit and not him?

“Of course, we are most grateful to Tianhao.” Mother Xiao said with a smile, “Tianhao, thank you so much for helping us again.”

Gong Tianhao said with a smile, “Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

At this moment, Gong Tianhao’s phone suddenly rang.

“Hello. Yes, where? They’re on Chuan City Road. Okay. Stop them as soon as possible.” Gong Tianhao said sternly. “Make sure you ensure the safety of the two cattle and bring them back as soon as possible. ” The Xiao family members listened with their breaths held.

After that, Gong Tianhao hung up the phone. He glanced around and noticed the Xiao family members’ sparkling eyes and serious expressions. For a moment, he found it funny.

The Xiao family was really cute.

Grandma Xiao couldn’t wait to ask, “Tianhao, did you find the two cows?”

The others also looked at Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao nodded and replied, “Yes, I found them. I found them at the rest stop of Chuan City Highway.” “Huh?” The Xiao family members were surprised.

Xiao Lingyun said in disbelief, “These cattle thieves are really bold. They actually dared to go to the rest stop in the middle of a job? They are courting death.”

Xiao Lingyu sneered twice and said, “They didn’t think we’d find them so quickly.”

This was indeed the truth.

If not for Gong Tianhao, they wouldn’t find them so fast. The Xiao Family wouldn’t even know that the thieves were heading to Guang City.

Normally, for a case like this, the police would start the investigation with the nearby villages. This would be the perfect time for the real thieves to make their escape.

In fact, if the local police were lazy, they wouldn’t even start a case. Thankfully, that was not the case with the Xing An City’s police.

“It’s already 10 pm now. It has been more than 15 hours since the kidnapping.” Eldest Uncle Xiao said, “They should reach Guang City soon.”

It would take eight hours to move from Xing Yin County to Guang City by the highway. But the thieves took a detour through Chuan Ping County, but that would add at most another hour to the trip.

Of course, this was if the person was traveling light.

Plus, these thieves had to use smaller paths to avoid detection. It would take time for them to sneak the cows to Chuan Ping County.

After some calculations, it should take them around 15 hours to reach Guang City.

“So why aren’t they at Guang City yet? Instead, they’re at a rest stop.” Eldest Uncle Xiao had been around the nearby counties, so he had some experience.

“Maybe they ran out of gas?” Xiao Lingyu guessed. “In any case, they only stole two cows. They didn’t think this was a big deal. This isn’t a big case for the police to take seriously. ”

However, the thieves had no idea the richest man in China lived in Taoyuan Village. And he was very close to the family who owned the stolen cattle.

Xiao Lingyu did not say much about Gong Tianhao’s identity.

What the Xiao family knew now was that Gong Tianhao was a person from the capital and a businessman with a certain amount of money and power. The Xiao family did not ask too much about how rich he was.

They supported Gong Tianhao’s pursuit of their daughter because he was genuinely nice to her and not

because he was powerful and rich. If he were snobbish, they wouldn’t let him get close to Xiao Lingyu.

The Xiao Family wanted Xiao Lingyu to be happy. They didn’t selfishly treat her as their own private property.

In the eyes of the Xiao family, it was undoubtedly lucky for Xiao Lingyu to meet Gong Tianhao, who was so sincere toward her. So they were glad to see them gaining progress in their relationship.

The Xiao Family had no idea Gong Tianhao was such a powerful character though..
