Farming Space Makes Me Rich

“What? Little Light is missing?” Xiao Lingyu’s expression changed as she asked anxiously, “What happened? How did Little Light disappear?”

Ever since the fiasco with the tourism development proposal and Xiao Chengeai selling out Little Light, they had been on guard. In fact, to ensure the Xiao Family and Little Light’s safety, Gong Tianhao had transferred

his most elite bodyguards over to Taoyuan Village.

If other people found out about this, they would laugh. After all, every member of this elite team was exceptionally trained. Sometimes, the rich would pay a high price to hire these guards to put on airs. The same

could be said of celebrities.

When Yue Qilin’s team was transferred to this mountain village, they were confused. Of course, they didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

This was the boss’s decision, and they couldn’t question it.

When the demolition team came, Yue Qilin and the other two scared them away. After that, Taoyuan Village returned to peace. After the crisis had passed, Gong Tianhao told Li Wendong to remain and send the rest

back to the capital. He didn’t want people from the capital to pay attention to Taoyuan Village from the movement of these elite guards.

However, an accident still happened. Little Light had disappeared.

Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Xiaohui, who was sweating profusely as he ran up the mountain. He asked with a serious expression, “Little Loach, tell me clearly. How did Little Light disappear?”

When Gong Tianhao heard that Little Light had disappeared, he recalled the worry and despair on the faces of Father Xiao and Mother Xiao when they heard that the Little Cattle King was going to be snatched away.

Although Father Xiao and Mother Xiao did not say anything, Gong Tianhao vaguely guessed that Little Light might be related to Xiao Lingyu to a certain extent. It might even be related to Xiao Lingyu’s life. That was

why they were so nervous and scared.

Gong Tianhao now felt Mother Xiao and Father Xiao’s nervousness.

However, he had to calm down.

Xiao Xiaohui wiped his tears and said, “Little Fatty and the other boys and I drove Little Light up the mountain as usual.

“Then, we arrived at the big tree where we usually rested.

“However, the four of us fell asleep not long after we got there. When we woke up, Little Light was gone.

“The four of us searched everywhere in the mountain but couldn’t find him. I was afraid and immediately ran back to tell you. Big sister, I’m sorry. I didn’t look after Little Light and lost him.”

Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu knew that someone had deliberately plotted to take Little Light away.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the four of them fell asleep as soon as they got close to the big tree?

“Xiaohui, do you know how long you have slept?” Xiao Lingyu suddenly thought of this question.

Xiao Xiaohui, on the other hand, was confused.

Then, he thought for a while and said, “We took Little Light and Big Light to the mountains at 6:30 in the morning.”

This was usually the time when they herded the cows.

After all, it was a hot summer day. If they went to the mountains later, they would probably be drenched in sweat after just a few steps.

When the two of them heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

It was now 5:00 in the afternoon.

From 6:30 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon, it had been more than ten hours.

In that case, Little Light had been missing for at least 9 hours. How could no one have found him after so long?

Gong Tianhao asked in puzzlement, “Xiaohui, didn’t you come back for lunch?”

Xiao Xiaohui cried and shook his head. “No. We had no idea when we woke up. However, when we saw that Little Light was missing, we searched everywhere. When we couldn’t find him, we came back to look for you.”

Xiao Lingyu’s brows tightly knitted together.

Gong Tianhao said, “When you woke up, it was probably well past noon. When you realized Little Light was missing, you didn’t inform the adults and went searching for Little Light instead. That had taken at least

another hour.”

“Xiaohui, why didn’t you come back to tell us at the first moment?” Xiao Lingyu asked.

“Sob… I’m sorry, Big Sis!” Xiao Xiaohui said, “At first, we didn’t know that Little Light had gone missing. We thought that Little Light and Big Light wanted to play hide-and-seek with us. We didn’t know they had

disappeared.”

Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao’s expressions became serious.

However, there was no time to lose. It was more important to find Little Light.

Gong Tianhao said, “Yu ‘Er, let’s go there now.”

The three of them took the cable car and left the top of the mountain.

However, before they went down, Gong Tianhao made a call.

At this moment, the Xiao family and the entire village already knew about Little Light’s disappearance.

“What’s going on? Why did Little Light suddenly disappear?”

“That’s right. Every time, four kids went to herd the cows together. Can’t the four of them keep an eye on two cows?”

“That’s right. Besides, Little Light and Big Light are both sensible and smart. Usually, they won’t go far. Even if they go far, they will go back to the foot of the mountain by themselves.”

“Let’s not waste time. Quickly split up and look for them. This is a major event.”

This involved the interests of every family in the village, so they definitely had to contribute to the search.

If they didn’t find the Little Cattle King, how would their crops grow well in the future? How would they grow and sell vegetables in the future?

“You’re right.”

Then, everyone went to the mountains and all the intersections to look for the cattle.

When the Xiao family found out that the Little Cattle King had gone missing, they were all very anxious. They knew that Xiao Zhengyang’s family had a large-scale farm thanks to the Little Cattle King. Now that Little

Light had gone missing, how were they going to survive in the future?

Of course, there were two in the Xiao Family who had other fears and worries. They were Father and Mother Xiao. They knew the truth. The crops in their family grew well because of the spring water their daughter

had. Little Light was a cover.

Was Little Light captured? The chance of it was very high. If Little Light couldn’t be found soon, he wouldn’t be able to produce excrement imbued with the spring water for long. Then, the whole thing would be

exposed. Then, people would start to suspect Xiao Lingyu. This would endanger her.

Mother Xiao kept rubbing her hands and asked Father Xiao beside her, “Dear, what should we do now? What should we do? If Little Light can’t be found, our daughter…”

Father Xiao grabbed her hand and said, “Dear, don’t worry. We’ll definitely be able to find him.” As he said this, the hand that was holding his wife trembled slightly.

It was obvious that he was also very worried.

Father Xiao said, “When Yu ‘Er comes back, we’ll first check the surveillance cameras at each intersection.”

Mother Xiao also thought of this. She nodded nervously and said, “Yes, we still have surveillance cameras. We can check the surveillance cameras. We’ll definitely find Little Light.”

“But, until then, we need to join a search.” Father Xiao said, “Dear, wait for Yu ‘Er and Tianhao to come back. I’ll search with the rest of the villagers.”

“Okay.”

After Father Xiao left, Mother Xiao’s face turned pale.

She kept pacing around the courtyard with her brows tightly furrowed. She looked outside for a while.

Not long after, Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao returned.

When she saw them, it was as though she saw hope. She jogged over. “Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, you’re finally back.”

When Xiao Lingyu saw her mother’s nervousness and fear, she grabbed her mother’s hand and said, “Mom, don’t worry. Little Light will be back.”

Mother Xiao nodded and said, “Yes, you’re right.”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, let’s look through the surveillance videos and see if we can find any clues.”

Mother Xiao nodded and said, “Yes, yes. Then let’s hurry up.”

ot long after, Xiao Lingyu took out her computer and played multiple videos. The three of them watched them at the same time.

The videos they were watching were all from the past ten hours.

However, the three of them did not find any clues after watching them.

Gong Tianhao frowned.

if Little Light was really stolen, then his thief was very capable. They were able to avoid the cameras perfectly.

He now suspected this was an insider job, or someone on the inside had worked with someone on the outside.

However, Gong Tianhao didn’t think that the first possibility was very likely.

There were only about 100 households in the Taoyuan Village. Where were they going to hide Little Light?

There was another detail. Xiao Xiaohui and his friends said that they fell asleep once they reached the big tree. They slumbered for hours. It was very obvious that someone had drugged them.

Ordinary villagers couldn’t get their hands on such powerful drugs.

Therefore, Gong Tianhao thought that the second possibility was more likely.

Someone in Taoyuan Village had colluded with outsiders to steal Little Light. This was a rural area. Some of the cameras were well-hidden. However, it was easy to avoid them if the thieves knew where the cameras

were.

When Gong Tianhao reached this conclusion, Xiao Lingyu did too. If Little Light had gone up the mountains, the cameras would have captured his movement. However, Little Light didn’t show up in the cameras at all.

This was not an ordinary theft. This was similar to how Xiao Chengcai had sold out Little Light. Someone had colluded with outsiders to steal Little Light. Plus, they looked well-prepared.

Aruthless light flashed in Xiao Lingyu’s eyes, hidden anger on her face.

If someone from the Taoyuan Village colluded with outsiders to steal Little Light, she would not forgive them.

She had given them all the benefits, but they kept creating problems for her. She was not a saint. She was not going to allow herself to be bullied like this.

Mother Xiao looked through the videos again. She couldn’t believe it. “Why is there no sign of anything? This is impossible?” She leaned in close to the monitor and widened her eyes. But she only saw the familiar faces.

Mother Xiao grabbed Xiao Lingyu and said nervously, “Yu’Er, how can this be? We must have missed something! Let’s look again.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Mon, it’s useless. Even if we look again, there won’t be any clues.”

“How can this be?” Mother Xiao asked with both worry and surprise.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.”

“So, we have no clues?” Mother Xiao asked.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “We have no clues!”

Mother Xiao became more nervous and scared. “Yu ‘Er, what should we do? Doesn’t this mean that… you… | mean, Little Light is in a lot of danger?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Little Light… maybe he was too playful and went to the mountains to play.”

Xiao Lingyu knew very well what Mother Xiao was worried about.

However, she didn’t want Mother Xiao to worry, so she could only comfort her.

Gong Tianhao observed Mother Xiao’s expression and was even more certain that the Little Cattle King had a connection with Xiao Lingyu. This connection was related to Xiao Lingyu’s life.

That was because what Gong Tianhao saw in Mother Xiao’s eyes was not only worry for Little Light but also deep fear for Xiao Lingyu.

This was the fear and nervousness of parents towards the safety of their children.

This confirmed for him that the Xiao Family of three had a deep secret. However, he didn’t have the time to worry about that at that moment.

Gong Tianhao said, “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll have contacted Wen Zi, Yuan Min, and the rest. They’ll be here soon.”

Mother Xiao’s eyes lit up. She was still worried, but she was more at ease than before.

She came over to hold Gong Tianhao’s hand and said excitedly, “Tianhao, that’s great. I’m much more at ease with the girls protecting Yu ‘Er.”

Gong Tianhao frowned slightly. ‘Why is Mother Xiao more worried about Xiao Lingyu’s safety when it is Little Light that is missing?”

Gong Tianhao said, “Auntie, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let Yu’Er be in any danger.”

Mother Xiao nodded and said with red eyes, “Good, good.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”.
