Yang Qi said, "Boss! If she's from the K organization, why would she replace a country girl like Song Ning?"
Gu Zheng said, "Besides being a country girl, she's also a military dependent. As for her purpose, that depends on what she plans to do next!"
Yang Qi nodded and said nothing more.
After a long silence, Gu Zheng murmured softly, almost to himself:
"Would someone from the K organization care about the lives of a man with an intellectual disability and a rural woman?"
Early the next morning, Song Ning woke up naturally, got out of bed without hurrying, and went to the place where she could catch the bus.
The town had no bus station, only a stop.
It was the same three-way intersection outside the school.
Perhaps because registration for the National College Entrance Examination opened that day, quite a few people had gathered there.
There was a bus to the county seat at nine in the morning.
Song Ning checked her watch. It was only eight thirty.
She stood off to one side behind a tree and quietly waited for the bus.
The town was small, and news traveled fast.
Several people waiting for the bus were chatting animatedly...
"Have you heard? Something big happened in Yakou Village yesterday! Thieves cleaned out a family's house. They didn't even leave the bedding! They lost several hundred yuan!"
"You've got it wrong! I heard about it first thing this morning! A relative of mine lives in Yakou Village. He said that family's son offended someone outside the village, and they grabbed him! The family had to pay to get him back!"
"Yes, yes! That's what I heard too! I heard they even chopped off the son's arm! With a kitchen knife! Terrifying! He must have really offended them!
