Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 650 - 649: Citywide Search

"Boom..."

Teacher Qi’s words exploded in Zhang Xiaoshan’s brain like a heavy bomb, leaving his mind completely blank.

Li Ya had been taken away by that beast, Liu Qinghong.

He remembered the night he bumped into Liu Qinghong secretly making a phone call by the small pond.

"Boss Liu, don’t worry, I’ll definitely deliver her to your bed."

"When I handle things, you can rest assured," he had said.

Also, that day at school, Liu Qinghong had shown confident ambition about becoming the principal of the village elementary school, and he kept saying he had connections higher up.

Could it be that Li Ya had become a bargaining chip for him to exchange for benefits?

"Damn it, Liu Qinghong, you beast, if anything happens to Little Ya, I won’t let you get away with it."

Zhang Xiaoshan felt a storm raging inside him, his face filled with anger and hatred.

"Little, Little Shan, maybe we should call the police?"

Zhou Huifen and Teacher Qi were both frightened.

"Oh..."

Zhang Xiaoshan came back to his senses and realized his outburst. He quickly suppressed his feelings, his expression eased a bit, and he forced a smile toward the two of them saying,

"Oh, no, Liu Qinghong is indeed a villager of ours. There’s no problem. There might have been some mix-up with the information, leading to repeated leave requests for Li Ya. I reckon they have already gone back by now, you don’t need to worry."

"Are you sure everything is alright?"

Teacher Qi looked worriedly, as the headteacher, how could she explain if something happened to Li Ya?

Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"What could possibly go wrong? You’re worrying too much. Rest assured, by tomorrow morning, I will personally bring Li Ya to the school."

Zhou Huifen, seeing how Zhang Xiaoshan put it, then comforted Teacher Qi,

"Little Qi, your fellow apprentice here is very reliable, my favorite student. He’s very measured in his actions. Since he’s said so, you can relax," she said.

"Alright, I’ll trust you, Teacher Zhou," replied Teacher Qi, her expression easing a bit.

"Okay, then you two teachers please continue your work. I’m leaving now; I have some urgent matters to attend to."

"Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight?" Zhou Huifen asked eagerly.

She had already made up her mind about making Zhang Xiaoshan her son-in-law.

Constantly trying to create opportunities for her good-for-nothing daughter, Sun Youyou.

Zhang Xiaoshan, his mind in turmoil, declined, saying,

"Teacher Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but tonight won’t work. There’s really a serious incident in our village. Maybe in a few days, I’ll visit in person."

"Alright then, since you have obligations, go ahead. I won’t keep you any longer, Teacher Zhou."

"Okay, goodbye, teacher," Zhang Xiaoshan said, then hurriedly left County First Middle School.

"Damn."

As soon as he stepped out of the school gates, Zhang Xiaoshan’s expression darkened.

He harshly punched a nearby wall.

A more than a foot-thick concrete wall was actually smashed into by him, creating a large hole.

He had restrained himself in front of Zhou Huifen and Teacher Qi not to expose too much, so as not to affect Li Ya’s reputation later.

After all, rumors can kill people, especially someone as fragile as Li Ya.

He made a phone call.

About ten minutes later.

A Toyota Prado stopped in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.

Baldy Liu jumped out of the car in a hurry.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I, I’m late," he said.

"Stop with the nonsense, I need you to help me find someone."

"Find, find someone?"

Baldy Liu was still stunned when Zhang Xiaoshan had already started explaining the situation.

"Okay, find, I’ll start right away," said Baldy Liu, knowing it was time for him to prove himself. If he handled this matter well, Zhang Xiaoshan would surely cover for him more in the future.

He immediately made a phone call back to his company, and hundreds of his subordinates scattered instantly.

The whole town began searching for Li Ya and Liu Qinghong.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, why don’t you come to our place and wait; I’ll brew some good tea for you," said Baldy Liu, trying to make conversation.

Zhang Xiaoshan shot Baldy Liu a glance. The reigning big brother of Wanshan County immediately lowered his head, not daring to even fart.

Baldy Liu’s influence in the locality was indeed not small.

Bars, karaoke, hotels, casinos; he had connections or people owing him favors almost everywhere.

With one phone call from Baldy Liu, the entire county and various townships and related businesses began to stir into action.

Zhang Xiaoshan stood at the entrance of County First Middle School, waiting anxiously.

Finally, Baldy Liu’s phone rang.

He answered it, and after listening for a few seconds, turned excitedly to Zhang Xiaoshan and said,

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, we’ve found her."

"They are at a hot spring guesthouse in Chengguan Town."

"Look, they’ve sent the video over."

Baldy Liu handed his phone to Zhang Xiaoshan,

The interface stayed on WeChat.

It was a screenshot of surveillance video sent by another person to Baldy Liu.

A girl in a white hoodie with her head down, following an old man, stood in the front hall of a guesthouse.

It was indeed Li Ya and Liu Qinghong.

The time displayed on the video was 15:52.

It was now 17:00.

An hour had already passed.

"Damn it, that son of a bitch Liu Qinghong, I’m not letting you off today," Zhang Xiaoshan fumed, like an enraged tiger.

"You useless crap, why aren’t you leading the way instead of just standing there?"

Zhang Xiaoshan shouted through the car window at Baldy Liu, who was still standing by the roadside.

Baldy Liu had never seen Zhang Xiaoshan so irate. Startled, he hastily got into his Toyota and ordered the driver to speed along.

A Toyota Prado and a Land Rover Discovery started racing through the streets insanely.

"Beep beep beep"

The horn sounded incessantly, causing pedestrians to dodge out of the way in fright.

Soon, they left the town.

After traveling on the county road for about ten minutes and turning into a village road, they followed a river for about five or six kilometers.

An ancient architectural style guesthouse appeared before them.
