Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Too Vicious

Fortunately, before Luo Qiao arrived, there had already been several incidents in the village that were reported to public security and required hospital visits before the new year, or else all these might have had to be considered Luo Qiao’s doing.

The public security officers arrived quickly, and upon seeing the empty house, they inspected the area. Luo Qiao had also gone out earlier, so the officers quickly determined from the evidence that the thief was likely not a villager.

This was because Luo Qiao noticed that the red sweet potatoes piled next to the kitchen stove were gone too, clearly taken away by those two. It wasn’t yet the time to dig up sweet potatoes, and normally people would be reluctant to dig them out to eat at this stage.

Luo Qiao was an exception; she had hastened the growth of the sweet potatoes in her personal plot with her special ability, and they were ready to eat early, and not small in size either. She had asked Stone to dig a few up that evening, as she was planning to make sweet potato pancakes the next morning.

The public security officers soon found a dropped sweet potato on that small path, and another one where the path turned toward the mountains outside the village. The sweet potato on the path was discarded by Luo Qiao, but the one on the path leading to the mountains wasn’t thrown by her.

Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang grew nervous. The idea that someone from outside dared to come to the village to steal was unacceptable, and he resolved to fully support the comrades from the police station.

Luo Qiao explained that she still had to register at the city’s No. 1 High School the next day, so she entrusted everything to the Brigade Leader. After several hours of commotion, the public security officers left, promising to continue their investigation the next day, since this was a case of breaking and entering, a serious offense.

After seeing everyone off, the dawn was beginning to break. Luo Qiao locked the main door, went into the house, locked the door, and entered her space. She set an alarm and then went to sleep, because she still had to wake up early to catch a ride.

She feared she wouldn’t have any energy during the day if she didn’t sleep at all; she was awakened by a series of knocks on the door. Groggily emerging from her space, she gave herself a moment to fully wake up before going out to the courtyard, where she saw Auntie Gao.

Luo Qiao asked, "Auntie Gao, why are you here so early?"

Auntie Gao replied, "I heard about last night’s incident from your uncle, and I was worried you wouldn’t have anything to eat this morning, so I brought something over for you."

Luo Qiao expressed her gratitude, "Auntie, I really appreciate it, thank you."

Auntie Gao patted Luo Qiao on the shoulder, "Who knows which damned thief came to our village to steal? Lucky for you that you weren’t home last night, or something worse might have happened. Just thinking about it scares me a lot."

Luo Qiao nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Auntie Gao, now that you mention it, I also find it strange. It’s clear the thieves targeted my home, or why would they not steal from anyone else in the village?

Why did they choose to steal on the eve of my departure to register at the city’s high school? I was lucky I wasn’t there. As you said, it seems like someone might be trying to damage my reputation."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Gao felt Luo Qiao made a sensible point. She took the food out of her basket and said, "I need to hurry back home. We can’t let this go easily; you’ve brought honor to our village.

Now, all the nearby villages are envious of Qingshan Village for having a city top scorer. Damaging your reputation would be damaging the reputation of our Qingshan Village. We absolutely cannot let this slide."

When Lu Yichen arrived, what he heard was this conversation. He watched as the Brigade Leader’s wife hurried off, "What happened?"

Lu Yichen’s house was almost five hundred meters from Luo Qiao’s, and since those people didn’t make any noise, and there was a cornfield in between, it was normal for Lu Yichen not to have heard anything.

Even when the public security officers entered the village, they took the small path and didn’t create much of a commotion. Luo Qiao gave a brief account of last night’s events, of course, only mentioning what needed to be said.

After all, everything that needed to be done had been done. Even if the public security couldn’t catch those two people, when Gao Suhua woke up and realized she hadn’t been taken away, and Zhao Xiaomei was still missing, she would understand what had happened.

Heh, scheming against others only to be outsmarted themselves. Last time that family didn’t succeed because the man had hurt his leg, and they were discovered too hastily. This time, heh, Zhao Xiaomei likely wouldn’t be so lucky.

With Xiaomei’s temperament, she would definitely try to find her way back. The real drama was yet to come. Luo Qiao considered herself rather kind, but Gao Suhua was far too malicious. This time, she was definitely going to send her to the police station.
