Chapter 537: Encounter Danger 8
Seeing Tong Yaohui’s troubled expression, Jian Jun sensed something and proposed, "Uncle Tong, you wait here for the police, while I follow this road and investigate."
Jian Jun worried that an uphill hike might be too much for the aging Tong Yaohui. Besides, leaving someone behind to wait for the police would ensure timely rescue in case of an emergency.
Concerned about the potential danger his daughter was in, Tong Yaohui had no patience to wait idly. He brooded over their situation and suggested, "Xiaojun, why don’t you break off some branches and leave them along the road as markers? The police will know which way to go when they arrive."
"Alright."
Without giving it much thought, Jian Jun hurriedly did as Tong Yaohui instructed.
They quickly marked the path and followed the narrow hill-side path, but soon reached a crossroads. There were three paths and no footprints could be traced due to rain erosion. Uncertain of which way to go, Tong Yaohui surveyed the terrain and chose the one on the left.
Meanwhile, Niu Wa, out of breath, was rushing uphill. Taige’s wife, noticing his urgency, intercepted him, curiously asking, "Why are you in such a rush? What’s going on?"
"None of your business," Niu responded, pushing past Taige’s wife. He barged into Taige’s house, shouting, "Taige, Taige wake up. Someone has found us."
He had spotted two people from the Breeding Farm hurriedly approaching while he was descending the hill to make sure the car was still in the Mud Pit. Fearing being caught, he had to sprint back.
Hearing this alarm, Taige quickly rose from his bed, "Is it the police?"
