Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1820 Looking for a breakthrough

Wan Shufang agreed with this and immediately told the villagers: "This is a complete coincidence, and we are lucky that nothing happened."

"But we can't take it lightly. After all, our living habits are different and it's easy to create misunderstandings in terms of diet."

The villagers thought so too, and immediately discussed it and reached some agreement with Chen Changli and his wife.

The couple humbly absorbed their customs and lived an increasingly peaceful and tranquil life in the village.

But when Chen Xiyun came to the edge of the cliff and found a hairpin, she almost fainted from crying, "This is the hairpin I gave to my mother. She treasured it the most. Now it has appeared on the edge of the cliff. It seems that my parents jumped off from here."

She clenched her hairpin and looked down, only to find that the cliff was bottomless and despairing.

"This cliff is so high, how can parents survive if they jump down?"

"Sister, don't say that." Chen Hai had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't want to say it out loud. "Dad and Mom are smart. They chose to jump off this cliff because they thought there was a way to survive."

"Listen carefully, is there any sound down there?" Chen Hai paused for a moment, then deliberately raised his voice and said, "Maybe it's the voice of my parents. Let's arrange for someone to look for them under the cliff now."

Chen Xiyun was comforted by his words, and she didn't want anything to happen to Chen Changli and his wife.

She hurriedly followed Chen Hai's instructions and took people to look for clues under the cliff, but was surprised to find that there was a river under the cliff. Although the water was fast-flowing, the riverbed was not deep and the water was so clear that you could see the bottom at a glance.

She was overjoyed: "There is a river here. Dad and Mom must have fallen into the river. Third brother, let's quickly look for them along the river."

The water in the river at the bottom of the cliff was very clear, and there was no body at first glance. Chen Xiyun thought that Chen Changli and his wife might have been washed away by the current, so he flowed downstream.

After searching for a day and a night, they did not find the body in the water, and their disappointment grew.

But when they reached the end of the river, they found a mountain, and Chen Xiyun's heart skipped a beat.

"How could it be a mountain?" Chen Xiyun unconsciously clenched the hairpin, allowing the sharp tip of the hairpin to pierce her palm.

"Sister, calm down first." Chen Hai had a bad feeling when he smelled the blood.

He quickly grabbed Chen Xiyun's hand, and seeing the bright red blood flowing from it, he immediately said angrily: "If mother knew that you were injured, she would definitely be very distressed, so in order to not make mother feel distressed, you have to take good care of yourself."

He spoke earnestly, and Chen Xiyun's tears rolled down unconsciously as she listened to him. "I don't want to do this either, but I just can't control myself."

"You go back, leave this to me." Seeing Chen Xiyun's tears, Chen Hai felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he looked calm and composed.

"No, I want to act with you." Chen Xiyun understood what he meant, shook her head to refuse, then wiped away her tears.

Chen Hai wanted to persuade him, but seeing her determined face, he took her to search the whole mountain.

It was hard in the mountains, and there were a lot of mosquitoes, but Chen Xiyun made it through. When she reappeared at the foot of the mountain, she felt very relaxed. "Although there are no clues after searching the entire mountain, it's a good thing that there is no body."

"You should have thought so a long time ago." Chen Hai said with red eyes, "Old Five said that my parents are blessed by heaven. They are blessed by God, so nothing will happen to them."

Chen Xiyun nodded: "Let's quickly tell His Majesty the news and ask him to send someone to investigate."

The brother and sister hurried back immediately. After hearing this, the emperor frowned and said, "How is it possible that there are no clues at all? Are those thieves lying?"

The emperor's thoughts turned to this, and his expression changed slightly: "At this time, they are still lying. These thieves are really hateful. Come on, continue the interrogation."

At the emperor's command, people quickly took action.

Chen Xiyun watched from the side, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you think our parents were taken away by someone?"

Chen Hai was stunned, then agreed: "This possibility is very high. After all, we have searched the entire river and climbed a mountain, but there is no clue at all."

"If my parents were captured from the beginning, that would explain why we couldn't find any clues. These thieves are so cunning that they actually lied to us."

After listening to the brother and sister's words, the emperor agreed with them and said, "That is indeed the truth. Chen Changli and his wife have been of great help to me. I was able to conquer the world thanks to them."

"Tu Yuanzhou and the others are extremely jealous, but they have no way to deal with it. They can only lurk in secret, let down our guard, and then seize the opportunity to capture them, and then claim to us that they fell off a cliff and their bodies are gone."

When the emperor said this, his face turned pale.

When he implemented the new policies in recent years, he did not give up his vigilance and always sent people to keep an eye on Tu Yuanzhou and others.

But they are like turtles. Once they hide in their shells, they make no noise and the occasional trouble they make is harmless.

He didn't pay much attention to it and was focused on leading officials to increase the quality of crops and improve people's lives.

Over the years, the people's lives have become better and better, and he has also gained an excellent reputation in the hearts of the people. Now that Chen Changli and his wife are suddenly in danger, this may be a counterattack by those ambitious villains like Tu Yuanzhou.

"It must be Tu Yuanzhou and his gang's plan. Their purpose is either to win over Chen Changli and his wife, or to use them to threaten me."

Chen Xiyun frowned when he heard this and said, "It's been half a month since my parents got into trouble. If they wanted to threaten us, they should have written a letter."

Chen Hai stroked his chin and thought: "Could it be that they just want to win over people and don't want to threaten His Majesty, or will they wait for the answer from my parents before taking the next step?"

As he spoke, his face turned cold, revealing a hint of sarcasm. "If they had such intentions, how could they send people to assassinate my parents? Sister, Your Majesty, I think they really want to kill my parents. So we can't receive any news at this moment, it should be that my parents are out of danger."

The emperor was a little annoyed after hearing this: "If they are out of danger, why don't they send a message back? You know, you and I are worried about their safety."

Chen Xiyun felt uneasy. Yes, Chen Changli and his wife cared about them so much. If everything was fine, why didn't they send a message back? Could there be some unexpected incident?

When this thought came to Chen Xiyun's mind, his heart began to beat wildly, as if it was going to jump out of his chest, but it quickly calmed down.

"Third brother, Your Majesty, I think we still need to find a breakthrough from those thieves. It would be best to find out who is behind them, where they came from, and then deduce where my parents are."

The emperor nodded: "I will take care of this matter, you go back and rest first."

After a brief pause, he continued, "If there is good news, I will tell you as soon as possible."
