But Yang Ruoxi quickly realized that something was wrong.

They went to pick up Wang Jingman, so what was Chen Yang doing?

"Hey! Hold on! You stop right there." Noticing something was off, Yang Ruoxi hurriedly called out to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang heard her and stopped with a smile, turning around with a grin: "What's wrong? Any problems?"

"Of course, there's a problem. You asked us to pick up Jingman, what are you up to?" Yang Ruoxi questioned with a demanding tone.

Hearing this, Chen Yang thought to himself that this girl was sharp, realizing it this quickly.

"Of course, I have something to do, or why would I ask you to help me?" Chen Yang replied with a smile.

But Yang Ruoxi clearly didn't believe it and pressed further, "What is it that you can't even tell us? If you don't say what you're doing, Annie and I won't help you."

As soon as Yang Ruoxi said this, Chen Yang became a bit embarrassed.

Just when he was at a loss for an excuse.

Wang Hong suddenly walked over from a distance.

"Yang Zi!"

She called out to Chen Yang from afar.

Seeing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "See, I told you I have a lot to do. You didn't believe me, but here it is."

After saying this with a smile, Chen Yang quickly turned around and asked Aunt Wang, "What's the matter, Aunt Wang?"

Aunt Wang had already walked over in a few steps by this time.

"Yang Zi, you should quickly check the pheasant farm. It's severely blown away by the wind, not to mention the pheasants are all gone." Wang Hong said anxiously.

"All gone?" Chen Yang was genuinely surprised to hear this.

Because the pheasants practically ate domestication pills every day, logically this shouldn't happen, how could they just disappear?

"Yes, all gone. You better go take a look." Aunt Wang urgently confirmed it again, urging Chen Yang to have a look.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chen Yang didn't ask much more, after saying a few words to Yang Ruoxi, he went to the pheasant farm with Aunt Wang.

On the way there, Chen Yang passed by that forest again.

He discovered that the Gu Family hadn't given up; there were still people standing guard in the woods at this time.

Seeing this, Chen Yang secretly chuckled to himself.

He also became increasingly attentive to Xiao Huang.

This little guy must have something extraordinary for the Gu Family to value it so much.

"Next time, I need to get Qianqian to come and see what's special about Xiao Huang."

Chen Yang thought to himself because only Xia Qianqian could understand what they were saying.

To find out what was special about Xiao Huang, direct communication was still necessary.

After passing through the woods, Chen Yang soon arrived at the pheasant farm.

It was as Wang Hong said; it had been utterly ravaged by the typhoon.

The pheasants were all gone, leaving only some empty iron cages.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was genuinely puzzled internally.

The pheasants, having eaten the domestication pills, logically shouldn't leave, so how could this happen?

"Yang Zi, do you think the pheasants were blown away by the typhoon?" Wang Hong, who had come along, suggested.

Chen Yang remained silent and didn't say anything.

Wang Hong's suggestion had some basis, it was possible some couldn't withstand the typhoon and fled.

But Chen Yang believed more of it might be human-driven.

Because the typhoon had stopped for a while, if the pheasants were blown away, they should have flown back by now, right?

Yet, not a single one remained, which was just too unreasonable.

While Chen Yang was thinking this, the village chief of Xiashan Village, Ma Village Head, suddenly appeared in sight.

He was walking along the muddy path, heading toward Liuhe Village.

Upon seeing Chen Yang and Wang Hong, he quickly approached them.

"Yang Zi! I was just about to head to the village to find you!" Ma Village Head hurriedly said to Chen Yang as he approached.

"Old Ma, what do you need with Chen Yang? Did something happen in the village?" Wang Hong asked from the side.

"No, it's that bastard Wu Damao who stole all the pheasants from your farm!" Ma Village Head said anxiously.

"What? The pheasants on the farm were stolen by Wu Damao?" Wang Hong exclaimed.

"Yes! The bastard stole them at dusk yesterday, and this morning he carted them off to sell in the county. I came as soon as I found out. Yang Zi, you need to chase him down, recouping whatever you can." Ma Village Head urged Chen Yang.

Just now, Chen Yang had been considering it might be human-driven, and it was confirmed sooner than expected.

And it was by that bastard Wu Damao.

He must have seen the typhoon blow away the weeds and underbrush at the farm while guarding the woods yesterday.

So he got a spontaneous idea and stole all the pheasants.

"Ma Village Head, are you sure Wu Damao took the pheasants to a market in the county?" Chen Yang asked, seeking further assurance from Ma Village Head.

Ma Village Head nodded with certainty: "Absolutely sure, there's no mistake about it, but I can't be certain which market though."

"Okay, I'll go after him right now. This time, I'm going to make sure this guy pays the price." Seeing Ma Village Head so certain, Chen Yang didn't waste any time.

He quickly headed back to the village, then drove off in a van toward the county.

Half an hour later, Chen Yang arrived at the county.

Since he didn't know which vegetable market Wu Damao had gone to, he could only search one by one.

When he reached the third market, he finally found Wu Damao.

There he was, indeed selling hundreds of pheasants in the market.

The market was large, but no vendor's stall was half the size of his.

He had used seven or eight iron cages to house the pheasants.

Each cage was packed to the brim.

Moreover, not only were there many pheasants, each one was exceptionally plump.

Chen Yang could tell at a glance that these pheasants all came from his farm.

Seeing this, Chen Yang felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Frowning, he walked straight toward Wu Damao's stall.

"Come take a look, these are genuine mountain pheasants, not only large but also plump and delicious, you definitely won't lose out buying them," walking to the stall, Chen Yang could still hear Wu Damao's hawking.

And his hawking was effective, as the crowd buying vegetables quickly gathered around.

Many were asking for prices, while others just wanted to watch the commotion.

After all, mountain pheasants were rare and quite novel in the city.

The nearby customers rapidly increased, and Wu Damao, along with his group of minions, appeared quite smug.

As he negotiated prices with customers, he boasted about how genuine and superior his pheasants were.

Seeing this, Chen Yang could no longer contain his anger and immediately approached.

"Oh, these pheasants really look quite good. Just wondering if your supply chain is clean," Chen Yang coldly stepped forward and said.

"What the hell is your problem? My business..." Wu Damao turned his head to see that it was Chen Yang, and he almost jumped out of his skin.

"Che... Chen Yang!"

Wu Damao was full of surprise, instinctively changing his expression.
