Li Fang looked solemn, but still worried, "Son, don't be too impulsive in everything, and don't confront them head-on."
"Mom, I can't do that." Zhou Sheng was very confident. Even if those people found out that he was behind the scenes, he would still have a way to protect himself.
When Li Fang saw her son's persistence, she knew she couldn't persuade him, so she stopped talking.
After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to ask: "Son, is there any news about Li Rou? She has been back for so many days, and she hasn't even brought back any news. I am very worried about her."
"Not yet, let me call and ask!" Zhou Sheng took out his mobile phone and called Li Rou, because the second elder did not have a mobile phone and he was the only one who could contact her.
Soon, the call was answered, but the person who answered was not Li Rou.
"Zhou Sheng, don't harass my cousin again, or I will make it impossible for you to survive in the village." Li Ao started with a threat, and seemed to grit his teeth with every word he said.
Zhou Sheng recognized that the person speaking was Li Ao, and his tone was a little bad, "I'll find Li Rou and ask her to answer the phone."
"She won't answer your call, so you'll give up." Li Ao said coldly and hung up the phone.
Zhou Sheng stared at the phone that was hung up, with a serious look on his face.
"Son, is Li Rou having a hard time?" Li Fang asked eagerly. She had already regarded Li Rou as her own daughter and was most afraid of Li Rou being bullied.
"No." Zhou Sheng shook his head, fearing that Li Fang would think too much, so he said casually: "She was busy and didn't answer the phone."
But Li Fang didn't believe it, her whole face wrinkled up, "Hey! This girl's life is really hard."
Zhou Sheng was silent and Li Rou didn't answer the phone. She must have been controlled. Her life was not good after she returned.
It seems that we need his help.
It's just that he can't leave now, because the sponsorship of mineral water is still ongoing, and the collection of water sources needs to be monitored. If it doesn't take a few days, there may be problems with the quality of the water sources.
When he was struggling, he thought of Xu Dalong and asked Xu Dalong to supervise on his behalf.
When Xu Dalong heard Zhou Sheng's intention, he frowned, "I'm an investor, not your buddy. I won't go see it."
"Village Chief Xu, if you don't go and see, if something goes wrong, you will have to bear the losses. After all, we are partners, and we have to bear the losses together." Zhou Sheng knew that Xu Dalong would not agree easily, so he used words to provoke Xu Dalong.
.
Sure enough, when Xu Dalong heard that there was going to be a problem, he couldn't sit still and said with an awkward look: "Then how long do I need to persist?"
"A week." Zhou Sheng replied.
Xu Dalong's eyes suddenly widened, "So long?"
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"Okay!" Xu Dalong agreed. Although it was a headache, it had to be done...
After Zhou Sheng returned home, he told his parents that he was going to see Li Rou. The two parents were very happy and packed some sweet potato delicacies for Zhou Sheng to send.
Li Rou lives in Yanxi Town, and it takes a day to take a bus to Yanxi Town, so Zhou Sheng went to take the bus early the next morning.
The car was shaking too much, and Zhou Sheng was so dizzy from the bumps that he didn't even want to eat, he just wanted to close his eyes and rest.
When he was dazed, he felt someone moving his pocket, subconsciously reached out and grabbed a hand.
He opened his eyes and looked at his pocket, where the hand was putting his wallet back.
Zhou Sheng raised his eyes to look at the owner of the hand, and when he saw it was a little boy, he couldn't help but be surprised, because the other person's face, covered with years of vicissitudes, did not look like a child, but rather like a man in his thirties.
He grabbed the child's hand and looked at it, thinking it was an adult's hand, so he was sure that the person in front of him suffered from dwarfism, which caused his body to be short and looked like a child.
