Chapter 459: Deceive the Heaven and Cross the Sea

Xiao Zhang noticed that the village head seemed to be in a difficult position, so he couldn't help but ask.

"The village head seems to be hesitating. If you have any difficulties, just speak up."

The village head quickly shook his head: "It's not often that someone from the authorities comes to our village. I have no reason to be in distress. Besides inviting you to eat here--something which you declined--what else? Considering that you are from the city, it would take over an hour to drive back. Since you are not willing to stay here, you should leave while you can still see the road. It won't be too late if you come back tomorrow."

Xiao Zhang looked at Qin Ying. Qin Ying, anxious, shook her head in refusal.

"No can do, we went through great difficulty to find this place. We don't know yet how Chen Kai and my elder sister are faring. If we leave tonight, we might regret it tomorrow…"

Unable to continue, tears welled up in her eyes once again.
