Chapter 1713: Chapter 1570: Escape
The early sumr morning was so silent.
So much so that Chen Yuan, who was still in the back of the truck, couldn’t help but break into a grin as he fiddled with a sprig of Ai Cao.
He and his team were nestled in a truckload of Ai Cao, laughing so hard that the entire vehicle was swaying slightly.
But from afar, Li Liu and another person clutching a monitor seed just like silly baboons running through the morning forest...
Open the car door, place the monitor, close the door, get in the car.
The movents were done in one fluid motion.
Not even sparing another glance.
Chen Yuan sat in the back of the truck listening to Li Liu boasting, "Wow, this computer must be worth quite a bit!"
The driver hesitated, "I feel like we’re missing sothing, is this computer supposed to look like this? Sothing’s off..."
Li Liu yawned.
"Missing sothing? We didn’t leave anything behind; we’ve got plenty of stuff here."
"Listen, in our line of work, we can’t be greedy."
"We worked all night, making three to four thousand each. It might not sound like much, but this is sustainable developnt! We can co back now and then!"
He swore by it, looking experienced:
"After all, it’s Ai Cao; throw so seeds, and it grows on the hillside. You see anyone making a fuss about losing it? Two days of caution and it’s over."
The driver, a bit drowsy, replied with a hint of confusion, "Really? Earning just one or two thousand each night doesn’t feel like much either..."
The truth is, it was a lot of effort!
He now felt his shoulders and back aching terribly.
Li Liu boasted, "That’s the point!"
"If we make too much money and they catch us, wouldn’t that be a cri?"
"I know what you an. The duty room must have more things hidden, but I didn’t take them because I have sense..."
Li Liu was ready to elaborate further on his theory of slow and steady wins the race, but the driver, unable to resist, lit a cigarette—
Getting older, his back felt stiff, and he seed truly worn out:
"I just feel sothing’s weird about this... Could it be that this Ai Cao is really important to them? Otherwise, look, they built a high wire fence and installed surveillance caras. It cost quite a bit of money. They even have soone on duty!"
Li Liu pondered for a mont, then suddenly realized:
"I get it! This Ai Cao is for nurturing the land, didn’t you see the vast fields of sunflowers beside it? I’ll tell you, when autumn cos, we’ll steal those sunflower seeds; they’re pretty expensive now."
Anyway, sunflower seeds sound more valuable than Ai Cao and are easier to steal.
The two planned thus and were finally about to start the car, "Where are we headed?"
"Straight to the riverside vegetable market. I’ll find a couple of old ladies to bundle up this Ai Cao for us... anwhile, you can sell this computer..."
The old Little Pika started up.
And then, there was a "clunk."
The jolt was noticeable even for Chen Yuan and his companion hidden in the Ai Cao pile.
He took out the walkie-talkie, "Let’s just call the police."
Then, grasping the rail, he exchanged a look with the other security guard, and both jumped off the vehicle to the left and right.
The driver was just about to get out to see what was wrong, but as soon as he opened the door, he was shoved back in.
"Don’t move, we’re catching thieves."
Behind them, the tal gate of the fence creaked, accompanied by the yapping of a Border Collie frustrated from working all night without catching anything:
"Woof woof woof—"
...
At this mont, the sky was not yet fully bright, and at the Qingxi Town police station, the on-duty officer picked up the phone:
"Where? Lao Song’s family in Yunqiao Village... the scene’s at the rear Shitou Slope... it’s you guys again..."
Mid-complaint, he rembered these were the family the chief ntioned often, a family with connections, and ever since their family beca prosperous, the station’s performance hadn’t been lacking...
Alright!
The young officer put on his hat, "We’re heading out now, should get there in about twenty minutes."
...
In the early morning, twenty minutes ant most of the villagers began their work already.
Lao Song’s family had gotten used to early to bed and early to rise, and they hadn’t eaten yet. Hearing the commotion, Song Sancheng was the first to get his vehicle ready.
"Oh dear, it’s Ai Cao! I’d be heartbroken if it’s gone, I have to go over and keep an eye..."
Wu Lan unhesitatingly pulled the car door open and sat inside, "Those who want a show can watch the show, why bother explaining so much—Hey Uncle, Lianhua, are you two coming?"
On the other side, Song Tan also decisively called Lun Chuan, "The security has caught two thieves after staking out all night, want to co see? I’ll pick you up at the B&B entrance in five minutes."
Lun Chuan slightly furrowed his brow—he never underestimated the Security Team’s prowess, and now it took a whole night to catch them...
"I’ll see."
He succinctly responded, grabbing his clothes to throw on as he headed downstairs, bumping into Five Hundred Years who’d returned overnight after a lengthy gaming session:
"Morning."
Five Hundred Years looked exhausted but thought about the pile of gift boxes from the tasting eting, couldn’t help rubbing his belly:
"Rushing out so eagerly, is there sothing delicious this morning?"
Lun Chuan was ssaging Lun Jing, and without lifting his head, replied: "Tantan said the Security Team’s stakeout caught two thieves overnight, I’m going over to check."
He spoke and hurriedly left.
Outside, one could still hear the car noises, clearly, Song Tan drove over eagerly to pick him up—
Oh, and the B&B owner.
Five Hundred Years tightened his brows, evidently aware of the rigorous training of the Security Team, and couldn’t help but pull out his phone worriely saying: "Caught thieves after staking out all night, must be hard to catch!"
The groggy program brother, swaying and sleepy, also took out his phone: "I’ll give everyone a heads-up, this person’s probably dangerously aggressive."
Song Sancheng ended up being a step behind—
Seventh Uncle just stead a basket of scallion oil flower rolls, hearing there was a spectacle on the mountain, who knows how long it’d be delayed!
Ah, the fun part of watching the hustle and bustle in the countryside is chatting about others while cradling a big bowl of rice.
He painstakingly got out a large stainless-steel basin, packed in all the stead buns from the pot.
Then, together with Seventh Grandma, the two lifted the basin into the prized backseat of Song Sancheng’s car:
"Let’s go!"
Song Sancheng: ...
He suddenly felt country life wasn’t all that great anymore.
Because everyone invited ho was kin. Even if Seventh Uncle made his car sll like flower rolls, he couldn’t say anything!
Disgruntled, he hit the gas and sped towards Shitou Slope.
At this ti, employees just waking up on the mountain opened their group chat, suddenly leaping up in surprise:
"What?! The criminal who was on the run for a long ti and hard to catch, broke in last night and fought with the security all night!"
Oh my gosh, how thrilling is that?!
Where are the electric scooters? Who has an electric scooter now?
Hearing the person’s been captured, they absolutely must go and have a look!
