40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

The carriage carrying Butler Chen continued to travel on the streets of City A. He paid close attention to the inns on both sides of the street. The first inn he visited was the inn where Fang Lairong and his friends were staying.

Butler Chen went in and asked the shopkeeper, who said there were only two or three guest rooms left. This number was not acceptable, so Butler Chen was about to turn around and leave.

Then they saw a large group of people coming down from the second floor of the inn. Their movements were quite heavy. Butler Chen heard the noise, stopped and looked over here, his face suddenly changed.

He saw Fang Jiayao's family, but saw that they were in a hurry and looked unhappy, and he immediately became confused.

Butler Chen watched Fang Jiayao and the others walk out of the inn before he came to his senses. He turned around and looked at the innkeeper standing beside him.

"Shopkeeper, what happened to those people just now? It looked like..."

The innkeeper heard what Chen said and understood what he wanted to ask. He sighed and lowered his voice and said, "They are guests staying here. They had bought train tickets to leave today. But on the first day they moved in, several of their children were kidnapped by thieves while they were out. Only two of them have been found so far, and one of them lost his life. There is still no news about the others! How can we not be anxious?"

The innkeeper shook his head and said, "What do you think happened? I just went out for a good trip and encountered such a thing. I heard that they spent a lot of money to hire a lot of people to look for me in the city..."

When Butler Chen heard what the innkeeper said, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. How could he disappear in broad daylight after going out for a walk?

The Fang family will have to stay in this city for a few more days. It seems they have to go back and tell the master to ask everyone in the Fang family not to run around if they have nothing to do during these days.

Butler Chen was thinking about what the innkeeper said, and he agreed from time to time. When he had almost understood the information, he hurried out of the inn, got on the carriage and continued to look for a place to stay.

Butler Chen searched several inns in succession, but could not find one that could accommodate so many people from the Fang family. Finally, he selected two inns with more vacant rooms which were not far away, and booked all their remaining rooms.

After finding a place to stay, Butler Chen got on the carriage and rushed back. He arrived near the entrance of the train station, which was the meeting place that Butler Chen and Mr. Fang had agreed to meet.

Butler Chen returned to the entrance of the train station and found the Fang family's motorcade among the bustling crowd. He walked to the carriage where Old Man Fang was.

"Master, we couldn't find an inn that could accommodate so many of us, so I chose two inns."

Old Master Fang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Tell everyone where the inn is and let them move in in batches. We are all tired after a day's journey. Let's arrange for a rest as soon as possible."

"Okay, sir!" Butler Chen did not leave after he said this. He looked at Mr. Fang and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Master, when I was looking for the inn just now, I saw... Fang Jiayao and the others. I heard that..."

Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang and the twins in the carriage became excited immediately when they heard Butler Chen mention Fang Jiayao.

As long as Fang Jiayao is here, Fang Lairong won't be far away.

He was just about to ask Butler Chen where they were and go find Fang Lairong to find out. He wanted to avenge his child.

Before they could open their mouths to ask, they heard what Butler Chen said next, and their faces suddenly changed.

Thinking of the other party's situation and the fact that he had not yet settled down, Mr. Fang suppressed his anger and led his people to settle down in the inn first. As for Fang Lairong, now that they knew where he lived, they could visit him at any time.

Old Master Fang took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the urge to go find Fang Lairong to settle the score immediately. He said to Butler Chen.

"Please inform everyone that things are not going well in City A recently. Someone disappeared in broad daylight. Tell everyone not to go out unless necessary and stay in the inn."

Upon hearing this, Butler Chen took the order and left, conveying Mr. Fang's instructions to every member of the clan.

……

In the abandoned woodshed where Fang Lairong's grandchildren were imprisoned, the effect of the drugs they had taken gradually wore off.

Fang Lairong's eldest granddaughter woke up first, and then she felt something pressing down on her body, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth and eyes were blocked by cloth strips. She struggled constantly, trying to untie the restraints on her hands and feet.

The woodshed is so small, and there are eight people from the Fang family here. When the third and fifth brothers moved them here, they showed no mercy and threw them into the corner roughly.

Fortunately, they were thrown separately. If they were stacked up, the person at the bottom would be in great trouble. He wouldn't know if he would be alive when the drug wore off.

However, they are still in a coma at this time and do not know what happened to them.

As time went by, they gradually woke up. Because they were blindfolded, they didn't know what was going on and their struggles became more and more intense.

They happened to touch the firewood used to hide their figures. As the sound of the firewood moving was heard, the stacked firewood collapsed and fell on the eight people.

The other few people had just woken up and hadn't figured out the situation yet when they were hit by the fallen firewood. The pain was so severe that they cried.

Suddenly, muffled groans were heard, and they were in darkness, with everyone filled with despair.

Everyone twisted their bodies hard, struggling to escape. Because this place was abandoned, a lot of dust had accumulated on the firewood.

Because of the shaking, dust flew everywhere, making their noses itchy and wanting to sneeze. Because their mouths were blocked, tears streamed down their cheeks. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.

One of the servants had his mouth not stuffed tightly, and the force of his sneezing somehow caused the rag that was stuffing his mouth to burst out.

"Aqiu——"

As soon as the man's mouth was freed, he kept sneezing, and the sound of his sneezes echoed in the abandoned woodshed.

The sound of the rapid sneeze was like a ray of sunshine that penetrated the people in the abandoned woodshed, bringing a glimmer of life and hope to everyone, letting them know that he was not the only one trapped here, there were other people too.

They struggled continuously, but they could not get rid of the cloth on their mouths, and the ropes tied around their hands and feet became tighter the more they struggled.

They struggled for a while, then stopped when they felt tired.
