When Gong Tianhao saw Xiao Lingyu’s bashful look, his eyes deepened, and he secretly took a deep breath.
Then, he said, “Yu ‘Er, I went up the mountain earlier and met with Xiaohui and the other kids who were herding the cows.”
Xiao Lingyu knew Gong Tianhao wouldn’t bring this up for no reason. He had something important to say. She asked seriously, “Did you discover something?
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes. There are too many forks and small paths up the mountain. Each fork leads to different villages.
“If the cows are normal cows, this isn’t a problem. After all, the villagers usually herded cows there.
“But Yu ‘Er, you know our family doesn’t have an ordinary cow. It’s the Little Cattle King. If we continue this, it’ll be very dangerous, especially since outsiders already know about the Little Cattle King” Speaking of this, Gong Tianhao paused for a moment. He thought of something and said, “Yu ‘Er, Xiao Hui said that there are cameras installed at all the intersections of our village. We have to take a look now to see if there really was an outsider who interacted with Xiao Chengcai.
“If there were, then we would know where his money came from. We have to tell the village chief about this as soon as possible, just in case.”
Xiao Lingyu’s expression gradually turned serious. She nodded and said,
“Okay!
After saying that, she stood up.
Gong Tianhao immediately asked, Yu Er, what are you going to do?
“Go to the room to get the computer!” Xiao Lingyu said.
Sit down. Tl go get it for you!” Gong Tianhao said
As he said this, he got up. Then, he asked, “Yu Er, where is your computer? Is it in your room?
Yes, it is! Xiao Lingyu replied.
Gong Tianhao came to Xiao Lingyu’s room and gently pushed open the door.
What he saw was a clean and tidy bedroom.
There was a bed with a purple mosquito net, a white wardrobe, and a desk
There was a purple laptop on the desk
Gong Tianhao didn’t stay in the room any longer. He immediately moved the laptop into the courtyard.
After moving the laptop out, the two of them began to search for videos of outsiders entering the village.
Not long after, Gong Tianhao said with a serious expression, “Yu Er, I found it”
He looked at the time and said, “This happened a week ago
This was not good news because it meant that the other party had more time to make sufficient preparations
Xiao Lingyu looked closer and saw a white car. It stopped before it reached the village entrance.
Amoment later, three young men in suits got out of the car.
The moment they got out of the car, they looked around and coincidentally saw
Xiao Chengcai passing by.
Then, the two parties stopped to talk.
Gong Tianhao looked at the video for a while and said, “Yu Er, Xiao Chengcai is very clever and he knows about the camera. He wouldn’t be dumb enough to make the deal in the open.”
Xiao Lingyu also stared at the camera as if she wanted to see something from the footage.
However, it was clear that Xiao Chengcai was very cautious. He did nothing but talk to the outsiders. That was not wrong
However, Xiao Lingyu said, “There has to be a clue somewhere.
She frowned and lowered her eyes, deep in thought.
At this moment, Gong Tianhao stared at the screen and said, “Yu ‘Er, come over and take a look:
Xiao Lingyu went over, and Gong Tianhao pointed to a spot and said, “Yu Er, did you notice this?
“This.. This is the pocket of his pants,” Xiao Lingyu said.
“Yes,” Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Did you notice that the pocket of his pants is bulging? It’s rectangular in shape, and a corner is exposed. If we look closely, we can tell that’s money.”
Xiao Lingyu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately reacted.
She said, “That’s right. It’s summer now, and he’s wearing thin clothes. He doesn’t have layers to hide the money. So he had to put it in his pockets.
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “That’s right. But tens of thousands is not a small amount. The notes are showing on camera. So he’s guilty, after all.
“He was still too careless. When he left his home, his pockets were flat and empty. However, after he met the three men and returned home, his pockets were full. This is evidence to prove that he has sold the secrets of the Little Cattle King out.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Now, I have to invite the village chief over.
That is a good strategy.” Gong Tianhao nodded and stood up. He went to her room again and took out her phone on the desk.
After Xiao Lingyu got the phone, she called the village chief. After that, the two of them continued to look at the videos. Mainly, it was Gong Tianhao who was doing all the checks.
Xiao Lingyu was pregnant, and it was not good for her to look at the computer for a long time.
Gong Tianhao was smart and had a photographic memory. He was very fast, and he didn’t miss a single scene.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the village chief rushed over.
The moment the village chief entered the courtyard, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, “Lingyu, what’s wrong?
Xiao Lingyu said with a serious expression, “Village chief, let’s go inside the house and talk.” The passing villagers might overhear them and cause panic to spread.
When the village chief saw Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao’s serious expressions, he immediately realized that something big might have happened.
He suddenly felt uneasy.
He rubbed his hands and asked, “Lingyu, Tianhao, what exactly happened to make you guys look so serious?”
Xiao Lingyu poured a glass of water for the village chief.
The village chief took it and dranka few mouthfuls.
After walking for so long in the summer, he was indeed a little thirsty.
Then, the village chief asked again, “Lingyu, what exactly happened?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Village Chief, T’l let you watch a few videos before we talk.”
She placed the computer before the village chief. Gong Tianhao showed him a few videos that he had selected.
The village chief was a little confused at first, but when he realized that a few outsiders had come into contact with Xiao Chengcai, his expression turned solemn. But he saw nothing more than that. So, Xiao Chengcai interacted with outsiders. That was common for the villagers these days. After all, the village had been welcoming many outsiders. This could be an innocent interaction.
Gong Tianhao knew that the village chief didn’t notice it. He pointed at an image and said, “Village chief, look here.”
The village chief looked at the place where Gong Tianhao pointed and suddenly widened his eyes. He asked in surprise, “Wait. Is that money in his pockets?”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Although the video is not perfect, from the size and the shape, we can confirm that Xiao Chengcai’s pocket is filled with money. Both of his pockets are bulging. That’s at least tens of thousands!”
The village chief said in shock, “But Xiao Chengcai didn’t leave home with so much money. Where did he get the money then? There’s no way he picked it up on the road Who would oo around with so much cash?
Gong Tianhao said seriously, “Village chief, this is the reason why we called you here.”
The village chief asked in a daze, “What do you mean?
Xiao Lingyu said seriously, “Village chief, we suspect that it was Xiao Chengcai who sold the secrets of the Little Cattle King to the outsiders.”
When the village chief heard that, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly shouted angrily, “He wouldn’t dare!”
However, Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “why wouldn’t he dare? There are several reasons why he would do this.
“First, his family is not allowed to pick the manure of Little Light.
“Second, his family hates my family because of the issue with Zhang Xiaolan.
Third, he still has to work for me to pay off his debt. Do you think he is satisfied?
“Through the incident with his wife, we know he is a heartless man. He can betray his wife of 20 years, much less the whole village.”
Hearing this, the village chief’s expression changed again.
If this was true, then the Little Cattle King was in great danger. More than that, it would attract the evil intention of greedy people to Taoyuan Village.
The village chief quickly understood the severity of this matter.
Xiao Lingyu continued, “village chief, based on my current speculation, someone has set their eyes on the land of Taoyuan Village because we can grow great crops. The reason for trying to turn the village into a tourist destination is just a front.”
The village chiefs expression became solemn.
