Chapter 407 The Cause and Effect

Situ Xing, who smelled the fragrance, stood up from his seat and took the bowl of noodles from Mother Xiao.

He was not afraid of the heat, so he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. As soon as the soup entered his mouth, the fragrance entered his heart and filled his entire chest.

Situ Xing closed his eyes and enjoyed the aftertaste. “Wow, this soup is really fragrant!”

Then, he quickly took the chopsticks from Mother Xiao’s hands, picked up some noodles, and put them into his mouth. Then, he slurped down the noodles like he hadn’t eaten in years. The whole process took less than a minute!

The noodles had just come out of the pot, and the soup was still boiling hot. The speed by which Situ Xing finished the food made everyone dumbfounded.

Situ Xing wiped his mouth, looking as if he hadn’t had enough yet.

He grinned and put on a pleading face. He smiled and handed the bowls and chopsticks to Mother Xiao. He said sincerely and embarrassedly, “Auntie, I’m not full yet. Can I have another bowl?”

Mother Xiao recovered from her daze. She took the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile, “Sure, of course.”

Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen to cook noodles for Situ Xing.

After Mother Xiao finished cooking the fourth bowl of noodles and Situ Xing finished eating the fourth bowl of noodles, he touched his round belly and said, “I’m finally full!”

The three people of the Xiao family were stunned again They were really shocked. Situ Xing had a child-like appearance, but he had such a big appetite. He ate the portion of four adults.

Mother Xiao asked with a smile, “Little Xing, are you full? Do you want me to cook another bowl of noodles for you?”

Situ Xing’s eyes lit up as he shook his head and said with a smile, “Auntie, thank you. I’m full this time.” He sincerely praised, “Auntie, your culinary skills are really great. No wonder that bastard, Gong Yingxiong, keeps showing off in front of me.”

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were speechless. They had no idea Gong Yingxiong had been doing that.

“Hehe. Now that I’ve eaten Auntie’s cooking, I don’t need to lower my head before that bastard anymore,” Situ Xing said very proudly. Xiao Lingyu, “…” I bet he’s going to show off to Gong Yingxiong in return.

Gong Tianhao couldn’t stand seeing Situ Xing being so smug.

“That’s enough,” Gong Tianhao interrupted Situ Xing and said seriously, “Since you’re already full, it’s time to get down to business.” Father Xiao and Mother Xiao knew that they had to talk about Little Light’s disappearance.

Mother Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, “Tianhao, it’s already so late. Why don’t we talk about this tomorrow? Plus, Little Xing has traveled such a long distance. He must be tired.”

After all, Little Light and his mother had been found.

“Auntie, it’s fine.” Situ Xing said, “I’m not tired. We better finish this business first.”

Gong Tianhao said, “Auntie, you’re right. It’s very late already. You and uncle should go and rest.” They were no longer that young. They had been searching for Big Light and Little Light all day too. Xiao Lingyu also said, “Yes, Mom, Dad, you guys go and rest first. We’ll handle the rest.”

Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Lingyu’s stomach hesitantly and said, “Yu ‘Er, what about you?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, I’m fine. I rested for more than an hour just now, so I’m not tired.”

Father Xiao stood up and said, “Alright, your mom and I will go rest first. Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, you should rest early too.”

“Okay!” The two of them replied.

After Mother Xiao and Father Xiao left, the three of them became serious.

“Speak!” Gong Tianhao said the word lightly, and it was full of dignity.

Situ Xing nodded and said directly, “It’s Guang City’s agricultural big shot, Cai Kunnong.”

Gong Tianhao frowned slightly and said with some confusion, “Guang City’s Cai Kunnong?”

“Yes,” Situ Xing reported, “Cai Kunnong’s assets have reached several hundred million. His business includes real estate, fruit and vegetable specialty stores, and fruit and vegetable farming bases. His major business is still fruit and vegetable farming.

“Just one month ago, Cai Kunnong was named as one of the leading agricultural figures in the country and won the Agricultural Star Award.”

Gong Tianhao frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “Guang City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Taoyuan Village. Taoyuan village is located in a remote area and is not marked on the map. So how did Cai Kunnong know about the Little Cattle King?”

Situ Xing said, “I’m not sure about that. The men were only ordered to steal the cows. They only found out about the uniqueness of the Cows when they arrived at Taoyuan Village.”

At this point, Situ Xing paused for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and continued, “However, according to Li Dazhu, someone must have told Cai Kunnong about the Little Cattle King. It happened around a month ago. We followed this clue and found the culprit.” “Who is it?” Gong Tianhao’s eyes shone with a sharp light. The news of the Little Cattle King had spread to Guang City. Perhaps it would go to South City or North City next.

“Liao Guohui!” Situ Xing said.

“Liao Guohui?” Gong Tianhao asked in confusion, “Who is he?”

Gong Tianhao only gave an order to collapse the company that wanted to develop Taoyuan Village. He didn’t really care who the boss was. Situ Xing rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “Boss, you’ve destroyed his company, but you don’t know who he is? He’s going to be so mad when he finds out.”

Gong Tianhao just glanced at him indifferently and said, “He deserves it.”

However, Gong Tianhao did remember the tourism company after the hints by Situ Xing.

If Liao Guohui, who was in prison, knew that the enemy who caused him to go bankrupt and put him in prison didn’t even know who he was, he might really cry and faint. The man was really unlucky. Well, he was unlucky enough to run into a ghost. This was his fault for doing too many evil things.

“Continue!” Gong Tianhao said calmly. “…” Situ Xing continued, “Cai Kunnong and Liao Guohui were in cahoots. They worked together and developed a farm.

“That was how they knew each other. I have no idea why Liao Guohui did this. But before he was caught, he called Cai Kunnong and told him such a secret.

“However, Liao Guohui didn’t tell Cai Kunnong that he was going to be imprisoned, and his company went bankrupt because of this.”

Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu listened attentively. They didn’t expect this would lead to such a long story.

“However, Cai Kunnong is a cautious businessman.” Situ Xing continued. “He received this news but didn’t completely believe it. It was only through his own investigation that he confirmed that there was indeed a Little Cattle King hiding in Taoyuan

Village.

“He had sent his trusted aides to investigate, but after the investigation, he didn’t brag about it. Then, he had his bodyguards come to steal the Little Cattle King.

“However, because of his overly cautious personality, he didn’t trust his bodyguards very much. Therefore, he sent his nephew over to supervise.

“I have to admit that Cai Kunnong is really smart. But he was tripped by his own cunningness. His nephew has spoiled everything this time.”

If the nephew didn’t delay the process, they would have reached Guang City already.

Xiao Lingyu was a little puzzled as he asked, “But how did he confirm there’s a Little Cattle King here?”

The outsiders wouldn’t find out about this secret so easily unless they happened to come across the families who bore grudges against the Xiao Family.

“Were they so lucky to meet someone who hated my family?” Xiao Lingyu said, “And they verified with him the news about the Little Cattle King?” Situ Xing shook his head and said with a smile, “Of course not. They only confirmed the existence of the Little Cattle King through multiple analyses and judgments.” Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows, “Oh? What do you mean?”

Situ Xing said, “Sister-in-law, I believe you know how popular your family’s vegetables

are.”

Xiao Lingyu immediately reacted and said, “You mean they only figured out we have the Little Cattle King through my sales?”

“That’s right,” Situ Xing said, “They may not be able to find any information about the Little Cattle King from the villager, but Cai Kunnong already knows about the Little Cattle King. He only needed a confirmation. The sales of your vegetables are the best confirmation.” Xiao Lingyu nodded her head in understanding. That was indeed plausible.

However, Xiao Lingyu believed the man would still need another layer of confirmation, namely, a testimony from Taoyuan Village’s locals.

Gong Tianhao said, “Did the bodyguards mention anyone from the village who sold them the news?”

This might be a small matter, but it was related to the safety of the Xiao Family and the two cattle.

Situ Xing nodded and said, “Actually, they did. These cattle thieves are trained bodyguards. They didn’t want to alert the villagers, so they didn’t ask around Taoyuan Village. Instead, they used the money to bribe the people of the nearby villages. “Sister-in-law, don’t you have a Back Mountain Village nearby?” Situ Xing asked. “Yes.” Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Back Mountain Village is adjacent to Taoyuan Village. After those people stole the cattle, they left from the Back Mountain Village.”

“That’s right.” Situ Xing said, “The guards went to gather information at Back Mountain Village. However, the villagers there didn’t know about the Little Cattle King. “However, they were drawn by the money. The villagers there promised that they would find out more about the Little Cattle King for the guards.

“There’s a woman at Back Mountain Village who is familiar with a woman at Taoyuan Village called Zhang Chunjiao. Sister-in-law, do you know who that is?” Situ Xing asked again.

“Yes. This woman doesn’t get along with my family.” Xiao Lingyu said truthfully, “When I heard her son said she was trying to run away from home, I knew she was involved.”

When she said this, her expression was a little dark. Zhang Chunjiao was too much. She had been involved in almost everything problem that had struck the Xiao Family.

She instigated a few families not to rent the land to Xiao Lingyu. Then she instigated Zhang Xiaolan to set fire to the strawberry field. Even when Xiao Chengcai sold the news of the Little Cattle King, she had to say something too.

Before this, Xiao Lingyu didn’t do anything to her because they were conflicts between villagers. However, now that Zhang Chunjiao had broken the laws, she would have to face punishment.

Situ Xing said, “The woman from the Back Mountain Village called this Zhang Chunjiao to the Back Mountain Village, and then Li Dazhu used the money to entice her. Zhang Chunjiao told them everything. She sang like a canary. She told them the location of all the cameras.

“She also told them that it was normally children who herded the cows. And they would do it at a place called Back Mountain.” At this point, Situ Xing sighed, “Sister-in-law, why is the naming convention here so weird? Back Mountain Village and Back Mountain are two different places? I was so confused!

“In any case, after they got the concrete news from Zhang Chunjiao, Li Dazhu’s people went into preparation.”

Situ Xing continued, “They never went through Taoyuan Village. Instead, they cut through Back Mountain Village. They waited for the children to arrive and then struck when it was time. With the cooperation of the villagers from Back Mountain Village, the two cows were transported out smoothly.”

Xiao Lingyu frowned, and her expression was a little cold. She said, “So the villagers of Back Mountain Village are involved? No wonder when we were searching for the cows, none of them cared.”

Gong Tianhao said, “These people are accomplices. Naturally, they will have to pay.”

If not for the greed of the Back Mountain Village’s people, they wouldn’t find Zhang Chunjiao, and the two cows wouldn’t have been stolen so easily.

What was even more unforgivable was that they had designs on the children. Even though they didn’t act on them, it was unforgivable.

Qiu Shaobai wanted to cripple the children and send them out to beg for money. Such a vicious person had to be punished.

He might really abduct children next time if he was left untouched.
