Xiao Qian's grandma, who was said to have a stomachache, was walking briskly, as if she was about to fly. It didn't look like she was in pain at all.

There was a small grove in the backyard, which led to the village road.

Xiao Qian led her grandma quickly, not daring to slow down. Chu Xue was not stupid; if Xiao Qian was slow, the woman yelling outside the door would realize they had escaped through the back door.

Her grandma must not be agitated, or she would fall ill. Speed was essential.

Unexpectedly, what Jia Xiufang had done in her past life was now done by Chu Xue in this life.

The tactics used by women were just a few tricks, making a scene if they couldn't intimidate Chen Lin, then harassing the elder.

Xiao Qian was very close to her grandma, and naturally, she wouldn't let Chu Xue take advantage of her. Although if Chu Xue hurt her grandma, Chu Xue would suffer in the future, but Xiao Qian didn't want to take that risk. Even as a villain, she had her principles, and she couldn't harm her loved ones.

From the backyard to the road, Grandma was puzzled about what was going on. Xiao Qian looked left and right, and there happened to be a horse-drawn carriage with a load of beans. She lowered her head to ask Grandma.

“What should I call this person?” She had not been in the village for many years, so she didn't know these people.

“You call him Fourth Master.”

“Fourth Master!” Xiao Qian waved her hand, and the middle-aged man driving the horse stopped. He smiled and greeted them when he saw Xiao Qian and her grandma.

“Auntie, is this your granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law? She's very pretty.”

“She's my third son's daughter, just got into university this year. She's a filial child who came back to visit me.” Grandma wanted to chat with him, as any family would be proud to have such a child.

“Fourth Master, my stomach hurts a little. Could you give us a lift to the Village Health Clinic?”

Xiao Qian interrupted their chat, as villagers could go on and on when talking about family matters.

Hearing that the child was uncomfortable, the honest Fourth Master hurriedly invited Xiao Qian and her grandma onto the carriage. Grandma sat next to Fourth Master, and with no space left, Xiao Qian climbed onto the beans and watched the distance from above.

Chu Xue and the others hadn't shown up yet, probably still not realizing they were gone. But it would be soon.

Xiao Qian knew that the village health center was just by the roadside, and from there, she could get on long-distance buses. The plan was to trick her unsuspecting grandmother onto a long-distance bus.

“Qian'er, what are you doing? Aren't we here to see the doctor?” Grandma had been completely baffled by Xiao Qian.

“We are going back to the city to see a doctor.” Xiao Qian smiled gently, her eyes deep, as everything was under her control.

Unaware of what was going on, grandma was quickly ushered onto the bus by her granddaughter.

The long-distance bus had to wait at the village entrance for a while to fill up with passengers. It was only half full for now.

Xiao Qian let her grandma sit on the bus and found a nearby small shop to call Yu Minglang.

She would need to buy a cellphone when she got back; it was too inconvenient without one. She hoped Yu Minglang wasn't on a business trip today.

She dialed Yu Minglang's mobile number, but it was busy.

She called the landline, and a secretary told her that he had gone out for a while.

Xiao Qian thought for a few seconds.

In theory, getting her grandma on a long-distance bus to the city and avoiding Chu Xue's group should be safe. She could deal with Chu Xue, the evil woman, later. However, for some reason, she felt uneasy. Boss Qian never did anything without being sure of success.

She picked up the phone again and called Zheng Xu, who answered right away.

“Zheng Xu, I need your help.”

“Tell me.” It wasn't the appointed time for their treatment, so Zheng Xu was pleasantly surprised when he heard Xiao Qian.

“Send a car, a reliable one, to the provincial road towards Zilong County. When you see the long-distance bus I'm on, honk and pick me up. I'll give you the license plate number.” Xiao Qian gave him the bus's license plate number and added for good measure.

“Send another car with at least five tough guys in it.”

She spoke so seriously that Zheng Xu felt anxious too.

“What happened?”

It sounded pretty severe.

“Nothing has happened yet, but once it does, it'll be too late. Make full preparations, and be quick.”

Still not reassured, Xiao Qian went into the health-center, bought some life-saving pills, and pocketed them before getting back on the bus.

The trip to the city would take an hour and a half, plus the intermittent stops, which would add up to over two hours. During this time, what Chu Xue would do was uncertain. Xiao Qian couldn't gamble with her grandmother's health. She considered everything carefully before getting on the bus.

Grandma was still puzzled and wanted to ask Xiao Qian what was going on, but Xiao Qian held her stomach and said it hurt. Grandma didn't dare to ask any more questions and took care of Xiao Qian on the swaying long-distance bus to the city.

Chu Xue originally had a plan to go to the old lady and complain about her grievances, insisting that their house be given to her as compensation. If not, she would cause a scene that nobody would want.

But after pounding on the door for a while with no one answering, she realized that Xiao Qian and her grandma must have run off. By the time she went around to chase them from the back door, it was too late.

“Little sister, shall we just go back?” Chu Xue's elder brother asked.

“Go back? No, I won't turn back until I make a fuss. I'm here for a fight.”

Chu Xue had left her shame behind before she even left home. Her reputation in the village had always been bad, even mingling with local ruffians before she was an adult. Chen Lin was not her first man, and she didn't even like him much. She mainly felt that there was more to extract from the old man, so she had to take a cut of him before letting go.

“What should we do, then, since they're gone?”

Shouting at the door was just discouraging them.

“Find them! It's not like they can just vanish!”

Chu Xue asked around and indeed found out that Xiao Qian had taken her grandma onto a long-distance bus. Many people had seen it happen.

“That little vixen is quite capable of making trouble. Let's get in the car and chase them!” Chu Xue's family had rented a small van. Although they were about ten minutes late, their private car would definitely be faster than the long-distance bus.

It was still possible to catch up if they really wanted to.

Xiao Qian sat on the long-distance bus, eyes closed and resting.

The bus stopped intermittently along the way, and she hadn't had time to take off her work clothes, but she had removed the scarf from her head.

At this moment, Xiao Qian was calculating a math problem in her mind.

If Chu Xue and her party were driving, how long would it take them to catch up to the stopping long-distance bus, at the fastest speed of a private car?

Looking at her grandmother's profile, Xiao Qian felt an inexplicable anxiety in her calm heart.

She was not afraid of causing trouble but afraid of losing the ones she cared about.

On her wrist, the transparent and flowing jade bracelet reflected a glimmer in the sunlight. Yu Minglang, why is it that every time I need you, you vanish….
