The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 20 Si River Gang Investigators

Chapter 20: Si River Gang Investigator

"Husband, you're back!"

Ye Xiaorou, the eldest daughter-in-law, had been maintaining a calm demeanor to stabilize the household, but deep down, she was extremely worried.

Because she had a faint suspicion of what her husband had gone to do.

Regarding this matter.

Naturally, she was deeply moved, but more than that, she was filled with unrelenting worry.

When she saw Lin Fan return safely, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. All her strength was washed away by her tears.

"Mhmm, I'm back."

Lin Fan smiled gently and rubbed his eldest daughter-in-law's hair. "I made you worry, it's my fault."

"No, it's not your fault!"

Ye Xiaorou shook her head firmly. How could any of this be her husband's fault?

Only those who truly understood would know how much her husband had sacrificed for this family.

"Alright, let's eat first."

Lin Fan didn't dwell on this topic and nodded, changing the subject.

Today's dinner wasn't extravagant, but everyone ate to their satisfaction.

The next few days were spent in tranquility, comfort, and happiness.

However, Lin Fan didn't immediately forge swords and sell them for money. Instead, he rested for two days and then made some farming tools for the household.

Because he couldn't sit still, or perhaps he wanted to share some of the pressure with his husband, as strongly requested by his three daughters-in-law.

Under their coaxing.

Lin Fan couldn't resist and made various household items for the three women.

Kitchen knives.

Chopping knives.

Hoes.

Even delicate scissors.

With the high-quality forging materials, these ordinary household items were even better than the long swords Lin Fan had forged before. They could cut through iron like mud, and cutting hair or breaking a strand of silk was a piece of cake.

If he hadn't been afraid of hurting his daughters-in-law, Lin Fan would have gone all out, making them even more terrifying.

A Max Level blacksmith.

If placed in the martial world, he would be considered a legendary craftsman.

This level.

Was not just for show.

But it was enough for now, and the daughters-in-law were very satisfied.

"Husband, the chopping knife you made for me is so sharp. It's much sharper than the one we had at home before. Thank you."

Wang Nannan waved the new chopping knife, effortlessly splitting firewood that was previously difficult to split. She was very relaxed and happily thanked her husband.

"You're welcome, as long as it's useful."

Lin Fan smiled and replied. After a few days, his turbulent heart finally calmed down.

He had no regrets about what he had done. On the contrary, he felt that he had done the right thing.

But while things were going well for him, his older brother, Wang Fa, who was waiting at home for his return, couldn't be at ease.

These past few days.

He went from anticipation at the beginning, to confusion and doubt, and finally to anxiety and worry.

After all, his older brother, Wang Wei, had told him when he went back to the county to gather reinforcements that he would be back within two days at the latest, bringing back true experts and returning triumphantly.

At that time,

They would witness Lin Fan's miserable state together.

But now, forget about two days, it had been five or six days, and there was still no sign of his older brother.

At first, he could console himself, thinking that his older brother was just caught up with something in the clan and couldn't come back on time.

But as time went on, he found it harder and harder to console himself.

And today,

Two burly men with a strong martial arts aura came to his house and stood in front of him.

"Who are you?"

When Wang Fa saw the two men, the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.

"We are from the Si River Gang."

The two men replied coldly, then asked, "When was the last time you saw Wang Wei?"

"Si River Gang?"

Wang Fa was stunned. He didn't expect the Si River Gang to send reinforcements, but his elder brother was nowhere to be found.

"Answer our question!"

The two Si River Gang members, seeing Wang Fa hesitating, immediately reprimanded him. They were not polite to country bumpkins.

Wang Wei had only taken three days off and now it was already the seventh day with no trace of him. The Si River Gang members sensed that something was wrong and started sending people to look for him.

The martial world was not peaceful.

Suddenly losing contact likely meant encountering an accident.

As a core disciple of the Si River Gang and having close ties with the higher-ups, the gang naturally valued him.

These two members were dispatched by the higher-ups to investigate.

And their first stop was Wang Wei's hometown, where he had returned on leave.

"M-my elder brother, we saw him for the last time six days ago."

Wang Fa was somewhat frightened, but thinking of something terrible, he hurriedly asked, "Did something happen to my elder brother?"

"Six days ago?"

The two investigators' expressions froze upon hearing this answer. After a while, one of them spoke up, "Wang Wei hasn't been seen since he returned on leave. We suspect he has been killed. We are currently investigating his whereabouts during these days."

As family members, they didn't deliberately hide anything from him.

But when Wang Fa heard this answer, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

His father, Wang Youcai, happened to have a servant bring tea. Upon hearing this, he almost fainted.

Wang Wei was his son, his pride. When he was out, it was his face. He often boasted about it.

As for Wang Fa, the prodigal son, he was just an accident. If it weren't for Wang Wei's constant care, he wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

But now...

His precious son was likely murdered.

"It's impossible, impossible!"

He shouted in disbelief.

"Quiet!"

The two investigators reprimanded him, making the frantic Wang Youcai calm down before speaking, "Think carefully, did Wang Wei offend anyone or did anything seem suspicious before he went missing?"

"It's Lin Fan, definitely Lin Fan!"

Wang Fa snapped back to his senses and shouted like a madman.

"Who is Lin Fan?"

The investigators' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

If someone with information was involved, their task would be much easier.

"It must be him!"

Wang Fa became more and more excited and then recounted the previous conflict.

"Tell us the details!"

The two investigators asked.

Without any hesitation, Wang Fa quickly explained the situation.

"A mountain villager with strange strength?"

When the two investigators heard this answer, they glanced at each other and quickly made a decision.
