My Silly, Sweet Wife

Zhang Chongchen shook his head: "The situation is still unclear, I only caught a snippet of it, but seeing how sneaky they looked, I've already asked Zhong Qing to follow them quietly."

Before departing from Jinling, Zhang Chongchen had already informed Heavenly Master Tao, and Zhang Changhe, who returned earlier, was already waiting at the train station with Zhong Qing.

Although Zhang Changhe had recovered from his injuries, his body was still somewhat weak, so he could only drive.

But as for the task of tracking the mother and son, if there really is a problem, Zhang Changhe might not be able to handle it, so Zhang Chongchen sent Zhong Qing to follow them instead.

From a distance, Zhang Changhe drove a car worth over 100,000 yuan and called out to them: "Uncle."

Ye Guichen didn't ask further, walking to the car Zhang Changhe was driving.

Today, Zhang Changhe wasn't wearing his Taoist robe, dressed like an ordinary young man.

Seeing Ye Guichen, Zhang Changhe quickly ran over from the driver's seat, grinning: "Mr. Ye, hop in. The car may be cheap, but our Heavenly Master Tao doesn't have much money, so please bear with it."

Ye Guichen smiled: "You're too kind, I'm not here for luxury this time."

Saying this, he got into the car.

Gongsun Fengying seemed very familiar with the setup and didn't hesitate, already sitting in the front passenger seat.

After getting in the car, Zhang Chongchen asked for confirmation: "Brother Ye, shall we meet up with Zhong Qing first, or head directly to Heavenly Master Tao?"

There are quite a few Taoist sects here in Quanzhou, and you can often see some Taoists around the train station.

Ye Guichen wasn't in a rush this time, and meeting Zhang Chonglou wouldn't take long either, so he said: "Why don't we meet up with Zhong Qing first and take the chance to see the scenery of Quanzhou."

"Alright." Zhang Changhe replied and started the car.

Zhang Changhe had already used navigation to get in touch with Zhong Qing.

After leaving the train station, they quickly reached a dirt road in the suburbs.

And judging by Zhong Qing's position, it seemed he was heading to the countryside.

Gongsun Fengying didn't know what Zhong Qing was up to, seeing them heading towards the countryside, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is Zhong Qing doing? Didn't he drive the luxury car that Grandpa Zhang usually uses to pick someone up? Why is he driving himself to the countryside?"

In Heavenly Master Tao, the only vehicle worth anything was over 500,000 yuan, usually reserved for Zhang Chonglou, and others rarely had the chance to use it.

This time, Zhang Chonglou specifically allowed Zhong Qing to drive it out to pick up Ye Guichen.

But now Zhong Qing, who was supposed to pick someone up, had driven to the countryside, which puzzled Gongsun Fengying greatly.

Zhang Chongchen explained: "Miss Gongsun, it's like this, Brother Ye suspected there were issues with the mother and son on the train, so I had Zhong Qing follow them."

"Issues?" Gongsun Fengying scoffed and glanced at Ye Guichen: "He has a persecution complex; they are just a mother and child, how could there be issues? I think he's using this as an opportunity to go sightseeing, isn't he?"

Ye Guichen was speechless: "Captain Gongsun, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't mock me for a moment?"

Gongsun Fengying chuckled: "I wouldn't dare, Captain Ye, what are you saying! You are a distinguished guest of Grandpa Zhang, how could I dare mock you? As you can see, the car Grandpa Zhang usually doesn't even let my grandpa sit in was brought out just for you, the guest of honor, what a surprise."

The tone was full of a sour feeling.

Clearly, Gongsun Fengying would also like to ride in Zhang Chonglou's car.

Ye Guichen cast a sidelong glance at Gongsun Fengying, clearly recognizing her sarcasm.

However, arguing with a woman would be undignified.

Just as he was about to end the bickering with a word, Zhang Chongchen's phone rang.

The call was from Zhong Qing.

"Uncle, where are you now? I was right, there is definitely something wrong with that mother and son; they've come to a place called Lihua Village, and there are many people here with fierce looks, definitely not good people." Zhong Qing lowered his voice as he spoke.

Zhang Chongchen quickly said: "Don't act rashly, we'll be there soon."

"Alright!" Zhong Qing replied, then there was the sound of someone knocking on the car window: "Who are you, get out of the car!"

Zhong Qing quickly said: "Oh, brother, I'm here for tourism."

"Bullshit, tourism?" someone swore, "Hand over the phone."

Then, there was the sound of the phone being grabbed.

Soon, only the busy tone could be heard over the phone.

Clearly, Zhong Qing's phone had been damaged.

Zhang Chongchen's expression changed slightly: "Changhe, drive faster, Zhong Qing might be in trouble."

On the other side.

Zhong Qing hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly.

He had just been following the van from some distance, but as soon as he parked at the village entrance, several burly men came knocking on his window and even smashed his phone.

Thankfully, Zhong Qing was wearing casual clothes and not a Taoist robe, looking much like an ordinary young man.

Seeing his phone smashed, Zhong Qing got out of the car and argued: "What are you doing? Why did you smash my phone!"

In front of Zhong Qing stood four brawny men.

Two of them held iron rods.

They all glared coldly at Zhong Qing: "Kid, smashing your phone is small potatoes. Hmph, tourism? You think we're fools; this place is so remote and you followed us all the way back, don't think we don't know. Damn it, who sent you?"

One of the men stepped up and grabbed Zhong Qing by the collar: "Spill it, otherwise I'll kill you!"

The rest of the men all sneered at Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing's face flushed red.

According to Heavenly Master Tao's rules, Taoist skills couldn't be used on ordinary people.

However, Zhong Qing, being young and hot-blooded with martial skills, wasn't about to be humiliated like this.

"I just accidentally ended up here, don't you have any sense!"

With that said, Zhong Qing pushed with his hands, lightly shoving the brawny man who was holding him.

Though the force wasn't great, it was enough to easily push the man away.

After releasing him, the man staggered and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, this kid's got issues, he even dared to fight back! Smash his car!" the man cursed, pointing at the old car and shouted.

The two men with steel pipes rushed forward and started smashing the car.

Another picked up a stone and hurled it at the car's windshield.

Zhong Qing hadn't expected them to attack the old car, and immediately panicked.

This was his master Zhang Chonglou's favorite; if not for Ye Guichen, it wouldn't have been brought out this time, and if it got damaged, how would he explain it to his master?

Without thinking further, seeing the stone about to hit, Zhong Qing reached out to block, smashing the stone with a punch.

However, the other two didn't stop, their steel pipes swung down.

Zhong Qing panicked and used his body to shield it.

Bang!

A steel pipe hit Zhong Qing's back, almost making him cry out in pain.

The other burly men didn't expect Zhong Qing to value the car over his life, exchanged glances, then quickly spread out, fiercely smashing the car.

Seeing he couldn't protect it, Zhong Qing's eyes turned red: "You dare touch my master's car, I'll kill you!"
