196 Chapter 196 Panicking Due To Concern
“Sure. Weren’t you going to transport soybeans and green beans here anyway? Mix the grains in with them, but don’t put too much, or it’ll be hard to explain.” Gu Chengrui said after a moment of hesitation.
“Alright.”
On the other end, Manager Liu found out from Sun Hongliang that not only were Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui not angry but were pleased, further placing him in an important position.
He felt a little ashamed of his narrow-mindedness.
Meanwhile, Wang Quan, who had been waiting for his good news, was in a terrible mood. Not only did the people he sent out not return, but they were nowhere to be seen. Gu Chengrui was completely fine, still alive and kicking.
Therefore, after cursing for a while, he sent more people out.
However, because the two men sent out this time were unclear about what happened to their predecessor, they did not keep an eye on Gu Chengrui but instead went to Zhou Ying.
After two days, they found that Zhou Ying’s life was routine, and someone was always accompanying her. She never went to any remote places, which meant they had no chance to do anything.
Therefore, they could only think of a way to lure her out.
One day, they took advantage of Gu Chengrui’s out for a patient visit and disguised themselves as villagers. They rushed into Grassland Taste Restaurant and found Sun Hongliang asking in a panicked tone, “Do you have a manager called Zhou Ying here?”
“You’re…?” Sun Hongliang asked as he looked up at him.
“Oh, I’m from Hewan village. Doctor Gu was being hunted down on his way to our village. Fortunately, he was saved by our villagers, but he was seriously injured. He instructed me to come over and tell you to call for a doctor and drive a cart to pick him up.”
Sun Hongliang was shocked when he heard that. After that, he didn’t think much about it and went to find Zhou Ying to tell her about it.
Zhou Ying’s mind went blank when she heard that. After returning to her senses, she quickly called Fang Qing and said, “Hurry up and get a cart. We’ll bring Doctor Luo and set off immediately.”
“Okay, don’t worry. Since Doctor Gu can still send someone over, he should be fine.” Fang Qing immediately took off his apron.
The two got on a carriage, picked up Doctor Luo, and rushed to Hewan village.
Sun Hongliang waited for them to leave. When he returned, he found the villages had disappeared and felt a little strange.
Even if the other party didn’t ask for anything in return, they should at least head back together and show them the way.
He thought about it and suddenly came to a realization. Oh no! If Gu Chengrui was awake and alive, he was a doctor, so how could he not be able to treat his wounds? Or, he could have also asked someone to send him back.
This meant…
Thinking of this, Sun Hongliang broke out in a cold sweat. He gave Gu Wen a few instructions and ran to the clinic.
However, he was still a step too late. They had already set off.
He had no choice but to run and try to catch up to them. Sun Hongliang didn’t see that a man wearing a bamboo hat among the pedestrians had quietly followed after him when he saw him running.
Because Fang Ding didn’t drive the cart too fast on the streets, Sun Hongliang managed to catch up to the carriage, and they were already out of town.
Before he could say anything, a small stone suddenly flew from behind and hit the horse’s butt.
The horse was startled and immediately galloped away.
Fang Qing jumped in shock and quickly steadied the carriage.
Sun Hongliang turned his head and looked in the direction of the stone. He noticed a man who resembled the villager who had reported about Gu Chengrui’s situation; the person turned around and returned to town.
Sun Hongliang saw that it was impossible to catch up to the carriage, so he turned back and looked for the man.
But the man was already gone.
Remembering that Zhou Ying had someone protecting her, he didn’t do anything unnecessary. Instead, he returned to the restaurant.
