Chapter 160 Old Master Tong was kidnapped because of the prescription he possessed.
These matters were kept strictly confidential, but some information about the pills' efficacy still leaked out. Just a few days before the Lunar New Year, Tong Anfu was kidnapped at gunpoint by several thugs while exercising in the woods!
Grandpa Tong doesn't practice martial arts with his granddaughters in the open space in the woods. The sisters mainly practice punches and kicks and sparring there, while he is quieter and practices health-preserving martial arts. So he practices Tai Chi on the outer edge of the grove.
That day, several people dressed as ordinary villagers came to the edge of the woods. When they saw Grandpa Tong practicing his boxing, they surrounded him and suddenly attacked him.
Those people didn't want his life, but rather to kidnap him. They also didn't expect the old man to be so strong, which wasn't mentioned in the intelligence report.
In just a few rounds, half of the men were injured. At this moment, the Tong sisters arrived. One of the men was carrying a weapon and pulled it out to attack Old Master Tong!
Yuheng and Xiaowu rushed over first, kicking his arm holding the gun and his lower back at the same time!
The weapon in the man's hand fell to the ground without a sound, and he flew out and crashed into a tree. His waist broke, and his arm was also broken on the spot, clattering like a noodle!
The other girls were tied up with ropes by the sisters. Yuyao was sent to find the captain, and at the same time, a tractor was borrowed to take these people to the police station.
The battalion commander arrived on a tractor and his face turned grim when he saw the scene. Having served in the military, he knew that anyone using this to kidnap people was likely an enemy agent; this was definitely no small matter!
Yuyao drove the tractor, taking the several tied-up bad guys, her maternal grandfather, her eldest sister, and Xiao Wu with her, to the county to find Liu Fengyi to report the crime.
"Deputy Director Liu, your father-in-law and several daughters have arrived. They say someone is trying to kidnap your father-in-law, and they even brought guns!" one of Liu Fengyi's colleagues told him.
"Are they alright? Where are they?" Liu Fengyi was a little worried. Could they have been sent by some ancient martial arts family?
"They're alright, they're explaining the situation. Your daughters are really something, they kicked one of the kidnappers so hard he broke his spine and had to go to the hospital. The others were also seriously injured!"
"Hehe, they learned a little martial arts from a young age, they're not that good. They probably got angry because they were afraid their grandfather would get hurt!" Liu Fengyi said with pride.
"What about the others? Have they started their interrogations?" he asked again.
"Captain Cheng is interrogating him right now! Why do you think these people arrested your father-in-law? If they were going to traffic people, they should have arrested your pretty daughters!"
"Xiao Zhang, can't you speak like a human being? Are you hoping my daughter will be kidnapped?!" Liu Fengyi was fed up with hearing this; this Xiao Zhang had a foul mouth.
"Hehehe, that's not what I meant!"
"Alright, alright, I'll go take a look!"
Cheng Jinliang was interrogating several bandits who were not seriously injured. As a recently retired officer, his sensitivity and ability to handle such matters were beyond doubt. He quickly extracted some information from two of them.
"Old Liu, these people are saying that they were paid to do something for someone else, and they want to arrest your father-in-law, this old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, because of the special prescription he has."
Cheng Jinliang told him that as Tong Anfu's son-in-law, he could not participate in the current interrogation and investigation for the time being.
"How did they know my father-in-law had a good prescription? Could these people be members of that 'Cobra' organization?" Liu Fengyi has arrested quite a few people from that organization in the past few months, and those people have already attacked the Tong family several times.
"They haven't admitted it. I think we should report this to our superiors. This matter isn't as simple as it seems on the surface," Cheng Jinliang suggested cautiously.
"Okay, you report the details to the Municipal Bureau, and I'll tell the County Party Secretary." Liu Fengyi first went to check on his family members in the reception room. Seeing that they were all safe, he returned to his office to call the county leaders.
Tong Yuheng also went to his father's office and used his phone to call Li Chengsong, telling him about the situation and asking if someone on Grandpa Li's side had leaked information about their family.
Li Chengsong happened to be off duty and immediately contacted his grandfather upon hearing the news. Upon learning that Grandpa Tong had been kidnapped because of a prescription he possessed, he was both angry and guilty. He said he would also intensify the investigation to find out who was behind it all.
Since taking charge of the village clinic, Tong Anfu, though still living within the cowshed area, outwardly maintained no contact with those individuals. However, he secretly continued to provide them with supplies through the underground passage of his daughter's house, though he became much more cautious in his actions.
The villagers were unaware that Tong Anfu had been kidnapped, and Captain Chen, in order not to panic the villagers, did not tell them what had happened.
However, Li Guanglin, having gotten up early to gather firewood in the woods, saw the Tong family and the brigade leader carrying people onto a truck. He wanted to go and help, but was stopped by Old Master Tong with a look.
The old man thought to himself, "Don't drag him into this. If he says that he came here to meet with these people, he won't be able to explain himself no matter what!"
After he got back, he told his wife and Professor Zhang what he had seen. They were all very nervous. He couldn't figure out why it happened and was just anxious and helpless.
The group huddled together, having lost their appetite. The Tong family are good people; let's hope nothing else goes wrong.
"Yan Yan, go to Brother Yu Chen's house quietly in a little while and ask them if they need anything." Yan Yan is only a five or six-year-old child and won't attract much attention.
The village children have accepted Yu Chen and sometimes play with her. The little girl is also quite clever; she listens to a lot of gossip in the village and then tells her grandmother about it.
Yan Yan quietly ran over and saw someone coming out of their house before she quietly went over to talk to them. It was Tong Jia Hui who came out. She was going to the brigade leader's house to tell Sister Xiu Fen. Yu Yao hurriedly called her away, afraid that her family would worry.
"Yan Yan, why are you standing outside? It's so cold! Come in quickly!" The adults didn't tell Yan Yan about the tunnel, afraid that the child wouldn't be trustworthy.
"Yuqi, Yan Yan is here, come and keep her company!" Tong Jiahui instructed before heading towards the brigade leader's house.
Yuqi ran out of the house and pulled Yan Yan back inside, saying, "My mom just made some candied peanuts. Eat them quickly, and take some back with you later."
"Thank you, Sister Qiqi. Are Grandpa Tong and the others alright? My grandma and the others are very worried."
"Don't worry, some bad guys tried to kidnap my grandpa, but my eldest sister and fifth sister beat them to a pulp!"
"Wow! The older sisters are amazing!" Yan Yan's eyes lit up, her face full of admiration.
