I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 95

After finding that she couldn’t get through to the village head’s phone, Wen Yunqing felt something was amiss. She then dialed the number for the small shop owner.

The small shop was at the head of the village, a distance away from Wen Grandmother’s house. When the owner saw the call, she immediately answered and was overjoyed to find it was Wen Yunqing.

“Yunqing, ah, two people claiming to be your friends just arrived in the village. As soon as they got to your grandmother’s house, they demanded things. When your grandmother refused, they threatened people with a gun and are now ransacking your grandmother’s house!” The small shop owner crouched down, lowering her voice.

“Have the police been called?” Wen Yunqing frowned. People had gone to her grandmother’s house—were they targeting her?

“Yes, but you know our village is remote. It takes the police over half an hour to get here, and the people have a gun! They’re holding a lot of people hostage!” The shop owner spoke while secretly peeking outside. “Yunqing, are they after the money you gave your grandmother?”

The small shop owner had received a substantial amount of money from Wen Yunqing. Correspondingly, she had taken good care of Wen Grandmother, delivering supplies every few days.

“Let them take whatever they want. Don’t let them hurt Grandmother; ensure her safety to the greatest extent possible.” Wen Yunqing quickly searched her memory. Who wants to deal with me? Is it the demons and evil cultivators I’ve been dealing with recently?

Impossible. Her actions were always swift and decisive. The most wicked ones were killed immediately; those who survived had committed minor offenses, and even those who had committed major offenses were released only with a guarantor.

Could it be someone I offended in An City? But the question remained: what exactly did Grandmother have that was worth them stealing in this manner?

No matter how capable Wen Yunqing was, she couldn’t appear in the village right now and deal with them.

While instructing the shop owner to stay in contact, Wen Yunqing immediately called Mu Kuan. “Someone is trying to harm my grandmother. I need the Special Affairs Department members closest to the village to help.”

Wen Yunqing’s recent performance was outstanding. Mu Kuan was actually writing a report to apply for a commendation for her before he received the call. When he heard that her family member was in danger, he immediately slammed the table and stood up.

“How many people are there, and what is their strength? I’ll immediately arrange for people to go there!” Mu Kuan said, his tone agitated. In their line of work, family was the ultimate bottom line; anyone who dared to cross it was practically dancing on a minefield!

“They are carrying guns, and the villagers have already called the police, but it will take time for them to arrive. They are likely targeting me, and I’m not yet clear on the situation,” Wen Yunqing said. “You know the address, right?”

“Yes, I know. Did you leave anything behind in your old home?” Mu Kuan asked. “If they are carrying guns, they should have little to no cultivation, or be people with very poor cultivation. Such people generally won’t kill easily because they can’t evade police pursuit.”

Wen Yunqing sighed. Knowing the probabilities was one thing, but no one truly knew what would happen. What if those people lost their minds and decided to kill her grandmother as a means of attacking her?

“I don’t recall. I shouldn’t have left anything there,” Wen Yunqing said.

“If I remember correctly, the person in question should not be blood-related to you, right?” Mu Kuan asked. “In that case, even if they hold her hostage, they can’t use her to cast spells on you.”

Blood relation? Wen Yunqing froze. An idea flashed quickly through her mind, but before she could grasp it, it was gone.

“I’ll help you contact them. You don’t do anything for now.” Mu Kuan moved quickly. After hanging up, he called the regional branch office and directly ordered them to mobilize and arrest the culprits.

Meanwhile, Subordinate Number Two had searched for more than ten minutes but still found nothing. The two-story, eighty-square-meter house inside had been completely ransacked. Everything on the tables, in the cabinets, and in the drawers was thrown onto the floor.

“Hurry up! I can only control the people immediately nearby. You just fired a gun, so someone has definitely called the police. We need to leave before the police arrive,” Subordinate Number One urged.

He had researched the area before coming. Even after receiving the alarm, the police would take at least forty minutes to arrive. If they found the items and left within half an hour, the police definitely wouldn’t catch them in this village without surveillance cameras.

“No! I can’t find anything!” Subordinate Number Two was getting agitated. Seeing the elderly woman sitting motionlessly on the side, he couldn’t resist kicking her. “You old hag, quickly tell us where the things are, or I’ll kill you!”

Subordinate Number Two was forced to resort to threatening Wen Grandmother, trying to force her to reveal the whereabouts of Wen Yunqing’s items.

Wen Grandmother pursed her lips and remained silent, just glaring at Subordinate Number Two, which sent chills down his spine.

“Enough, you go look for the things. Don’t trouble an old person,” Subordinate Number One interjected. After all, they were here to find something. If they actually caused a death, they would have a difficult time explaining themselves.

Not to mention that this person was related to Wen Yunqing. If they harmed the old woman today, they would surely be the first ones to die, provided their boss didn’t kill them first.

Hearing his companion’s warning, Subordinate Number Two reluctantly released Wen Grandmother’s collar and continued his struggle with the drawers and cabinets.

Time passed quickly. Just as the half-hour mark was approaching, Subordinate Number Two let out a cry of delight. “Found it! Found it! Here is Wen Yunqing’s birth certificate, with her detailed time of birth, as well as her baby hair and milk teeth!”

Subordinate Number One took it and checked. After confirming there were no issues, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright, there’s not much time. Let’s hurry and go!”

The two used their guns to force the villagers to stand back. After getting into their car, they hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided against taking any so-called hostages. They stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

By the time the fully armed police and SWAT team arrived, the two had vanished without a trace. Only the village head and a few villagers remained at Wen Grandmother’s house, helping her tidy the rooms.

Seeing the police arrive, the village head quickly stopped what he was doing and went forward, recounting everything that had just happened in detail.

Before the police could start taking notes, an SUV drove to the village entrance, and three grim-faced individuals got out.

“Who are you?” The police looked at the trio warily.

“We are colleagues of Wen Yunqing.” The person in charge showed his identification to the police and stated, “To ensure the safety of the individual concerned, we need to take the old lady back to the branch office.”

Not long after, Wen Yunqing received a response from Mu Kuan. “We have secured your grandmother. She was a little startled. We’ve temporarily arranged for her to rest in a sanatorium.”

“I understand. Thank you,” Wen Yunqing sighed in relief. Although her interactions with her grandmother were few, she didn’t deny that her grandmother was the one who raised her.

“I also have some rather bad news to tell you,” Mu Kuan paused. “Your detailed birth characters, baby hair, and milk teeth, among other things, have been taken. They will certainly use those items against you.”

“Against me?” Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow, then gave a light laugh. “If all this is just to deal with me, then Team Leader Mu, you don’t need to worry. I have plenty of ways to handle them.”

It was true that the original Wen Yunqing had intricate ties to her present self, but her aura was closer to her consciousness from her previous life. Even if those people took her childhood belongings, they wouldn’t have much effect.

Moreover, a person of Wen Yunqing’s cultivation level no longer needed to worry about being cursed or marked. Because before those casters could succeed, they would suffer a backlash, and the more vicious the spell, the more severe the backlash.

“How is Grandmother now? Is she okay?” Seeing Wen Yunqing hang up the phone, Wen Yimeng came over and asked anxiously.

“She’s fine. Grandmother has been taken away by the Special Affairs Department,” Wen Yunqing gently hugged her. She spoke before Wen Yimeng could ask anything else: “I also asked Team Leader Shen to keep an eye on Mother. I also left plenty of items at home. For now, it seems very safe.”
