Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Chapter 267 There is an Eyewitness

——————

Xie Jingchen only left after making sure his wife had safely arrived home, casting one longing glance at her before disappearing from sight.

Earlier, upon detecting Lin Yingxia nearby, Xie Jingchen immediately moved past her at an unsuspecting speed. As he had hoped, that foolish woman truly believed she had avoided him in time and left without any suspicion.

Who would have thought, right after Lin Yingxia left, his beloved wife would appear in his sight? At that time, he was far away and very anxious, but he couldn’t afford to act rashly.

Because the entire plan wasn’t just his responsibility alone.

At the same time, he had to trust his teammates.

More so, he always had faith in his wife. He trusted in both her character and her capabilities, believing she could handle unexpected situations.

However, this wasn’t a reason for him to relax. On the contrary, no matter how much he trusted that his wife could protect herself, he still felt nervous and wanted to rush up to protect her.

Because she was the responsibility of his lifetime.

Luckily, Lin Yingxia was successfully lured away by his teammates!

With an unsettled mind, he broke protocol and personally followed his wife in stealth until he was sure she safely returned to their small western-style house, and only then did he reassuredly return to mission mode.

Regrettably, they found nothing suspicious on the wine puller.

A fat man and a thin man, along with a ten-year-old boy and a small girl of only three or five years old, they seemed just like a normal family, nothing unusual aside from the absence of a woman.

If you insisted on suspecting them to be abductors, it’s even less plausible; Little Ya often stayed home alone, and the little boy was frequently out on the streets looking for customers to pull carts.

The fat man was indeed very diligent, pedaling a small tricycle every day, soliciting customers everywhere.

Though the thin man was limping, he didn’t show any signs of being exceptional. He couldn’t pedal the tricycle, but he did push a cart filled with cakes, water, and marinated eggs for sale at the train station entrance. When he had spare time, he stayed at home to look after the little girl, teaching her to read and write, and so on. All his behaviors seemed perfectly normal.

Because of the fat man’s display of aggression, the small team on the train didn’t dare to hassle the thin man and the little boy too much. They had been settled in the county town since before the New Year, not having just arrived.

Their overt and covert investigations reached a standstill.

Xie Jingchen frowned, feeling as though he had overlooked something. Moreover, his intuition told him that this fat and thin duo was definitely not ordinary.

Although both tried to fight using unorthodox methods, habits formed from repeated practice would inadvertently reveal themselves. Although Xie Jingchen couldn’t decipher their style, he could tell they weren’t simple.

He had hired a small team to gang up on the two, yet ten men could not defeat them. Observing secretly, Xie Jingchen still couldn’t find any clues.
