Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 155 Boys and Girls

Mao Dong covered his face and turned sideways, not wanting his sister to see him crying, which would damage his image as a brother, although he didn't have much of an image to speak of.

"Enough, you're such a grown man, but you can't handle it!" Mao Dong's sister looked at him with disgust, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Mao Dong didn't dare to offend his sister. Although he was very domineering at home in the past, times had changed and he had learned a lot in the academy, so he naturally felt guilty towards his sister.

"Why are you, a grown man, entering the kitchen?" Mao Dong's sister looked at him in surprise, but she saw Mao Dong skillfully taking out the vegetables, washing and picking them, and it was obvious that he was not a novice.

I've known for a long time that my brother has turned over a new leaf, but I didn't expect him to change so completely. He even seems a little unfamiliar.

"We have to do everything in the academy, so what's wrong with men cooking? We even organize students to help in the kitchen. It's an old idea that men shouldn't cook. You have to change your mindset too. In the future, our brother-in-law must be able to cook."

Mao Dong's sister rolled her eyes and went to work. Where was her brother-in-law who could cook? She didn't even know where her brother-in-law who couldn't cook was.

"Where's our father? Didn't they say he was injured? Isn't he resting at home?"

Mao Dong helped cut vegetables and felt uneasy, especially since his father did not come out after he entered the yard. He had witnessed his father's ruthless behavior last time.

Mao Dong's sister wasn't so nervous. She said as she worked, "You know our father. He's always busy. Not long after he got hurt last time, he didn't like lying in bed anymore and soon went to the government office to do his work.

There's been a lot going on at the government office lately, and he's been busy until very late every day, but judging by the weather, it's almost time for him to return."

"Why are the government offices so busy? Aren't those officials just trying to save time whenever possible? When have they ever taken care of the common people? There can't be any major cases, right?"

"Watch your mouth and stop saying useless things. You haven't learned enough from the last lesson."

The brother and sister were still bickering when the door outside rang. Mao Dong's sister quickly put down what she was holding and ran out. Mao Dong hesitated for a long time, stood at the kitchen door, and secretly looked at the door.

Old Maotou looked obviously more haggard than the last time I saw him, and his complexion didn't look very good either. It was obvious that his injuries were not yet fully healed.

Mao Dong moved his lips but dared not make any sound.

Old Maotou stood at the door. He first saw his daughter, then saw his daughter constantly winking at him. Only then did he notice the rebellious son who had not returned for a long time at the kitchen door.

Old Maotou said nothing, and said to Mao Dong as usual, "I'm back."

Mao Dong suddenly choked up and said, "I'm back. Why did Dad come back so late?"

"A lot of big things have happened in the capital recently." Just when Mao Dong thought that Old Maotou would just casually brush it off as usual, Old Maotou suddenly confessed, "A lot of people have come to the government office to report that their children have gone missing."

"The child at home is missing?" Qian Qiansui was still waiting for Mao Dong to come back and describe to her the reunion of father and son, tears in his eyes, the old father crying with joy, and his son returning home like a prodigal son.

Who knew it would lead to such an unsolved case.

"That's right. It sounds scary to me." Mao Dong originally wanted to talk to his father about his injuries, but when he talked about the missing case, he and his sister were fascinated and their minds were full of it.

Originally, this matter did not attract the attention of the government. After all, there are always a few lost children every year. Some of them were taken away by beggars, some of them got lost while running around, and even more unfortunate were those who had accidents and died somewhere unknown.

However, as more and more people came to report the case from towns near the capital, the government officials had to send people to the surrounding towns to investigate. The number was not small, as they discovered thirty similar missing cases, fifteen boys and fifteen girls, all of whom disappeared at their doorsteps.

Even the neighbors around did not see clearly how these children got lost. In these 30 missing cases, only one child shouted for help, but when his family arrived, there was no news of him anymore.

"These fifteen boys and fifteen girls sound like some strange folk organization, recruiting some virgin boys and girls." Qian Qiansui had watched many similar TV dramas in his previous life. These children were probably in great danger.

"That's what my father said, too. It's a pity that we've been searching for so long and still have no clues. Even the people from the Dali Temple are here, but they're still like headless flies..."

As he spoke, Mao Dong looked at Qian Qiansui with eyes full of admiration, almost praying.

"What are you doing!" Qian Qiansui was horrified and retreated while holding his stomach.

"Madam...you have always had great magical powers...could you..."

"No! I've heard enough gossip, you can leave now!" Qian Qiansui shooed the man away like sweeping away a mosquito.

Dumbledore and Miss Wu had been sitting nearby, both of them seeming to be lost in thought.

"This seems to be done by gangsters, but it's definitely not our people. I'll ask Zuo and the others to investigate." The reason why Dumbledore established the Bilian Sect was to create a utopian and beautiful world. How could he capture young boys and girls?

Instead, Miss Awu said tremblingly: "Well...if it's a boy or girl, I do have an idea."

Qian Qiansui knew that Miss Awu was good at using poison, but he didn't expect that she actually had a master behind her?

"Actually... everyone in my sect is good at being ruthless. Some people, however, use less righteous means..."

Qian Qiansui's face had fallen, and Deng Buduo's expression was not very fresh either.

Miss Wu also thought of her unworthy predecessors and smiled awkwardly, "Of course, this wasn't necessarily done by someone from my sect. It's just that a traitor with similar tactics escaped a few years ago. He was great at raising beautiful women and was determined to raise a peerless beauty..."

"Is the method very cruel?" Qian Qiansui felt a little nauseous.

"Gathering all the essence for just one person...there will definitely be sacrifices." Obviously, Miss Awu's master also did not agree with this, otherwise this person would not have betrayed the master and his whereabouts are unknown now.

"If this is really the person who did it, then he must have found the beauty he wants to cultivate, otherwise there is no use for those children." Qian Qiansui always felt that this person made people very uncomfortable, like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass, which could bite people unexpectedly.

"In any case, as Mao Dong said, even if this matter has nothing to do with the academy, who knows if this lunatic who kidnapped the children will attack other children? We have a lot of children in our academy, and we must ensure their safety."

As the dean, Deng Buduo was even more worried.
