Chapter 666 Missing
After receiving the report, the police immediately launched emergency search procedures, mobilized police, drones, search and rescue dogs and other resources to launch a blanket search around the orchard. After hearing the news, the villagers spontaneously organized themselves, armed with wooden sticks and shovels, and shuttled through dense forests and ravines, hoping to find any clues about Li Dazhuang.

"How could Da Zhuang, who is so warm-hearted on weekdays, disappear for no reason?" Lao Zhang muttered in confusion while waving the wooden stick in his hand.

"Yes, the village has developed so well recently, who would attack him?" Another villager agreed, with confusion and worry in his eyes.

Su Ye stood in the center of the crowd with a solemn expression. She knew that Li Dazhuang's disappearance was no accident and was most likely related to the various challenges they faced. The undercurrents that once hindered the development of the village may not have completely dissipated, but are instead waiting for opportunities in the dark.

"Folks, I know everyone is worried about Da Zhuang. But the most important thing now is to stay calm, actively cooperate with the police investigation, and at the same time increase the search intensity." Su Ye's voice rang out in the crowd. Although her tone was firm, her But his eyes revealed deep worries and longing.

As night fell, the search continued. The villagers held flashlights and called Li Dazhuang's name over and over along the field roads and mountain streams. Su Ye was sitting alone in the office, with the searched areas densely marked on the map spread out in front of him. She stared at the map, trying to find any clues.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Su Ye stood up and opened the door, only to see a villager standing outside the door panting, holding a piece of paper tightly in his hand.

"Su Ye, we found this in the grass near the orchard!" The villager handed over the note tremblingly, with a look of horror on his face.

Su Ye took the note and saw a crooked line written on it: "If you want Li Dazhuang, give money in exchange."

A chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet. Su Ye suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and quickly took a photo of the note and sent it to the police. Later, she convened a village meeting to inform everyone of the shocking news.

"Folks, Li Dazhuang has been kidnapped." Su Ye's words exploded in the crowd like thunder. The villagers looked at each other in shock, anger, and fear.

"How much do they want?" Lao Zhangtou was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling.

Su Ye took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The kidnappers haven't proposed a specific amount yet, but no matter what, we will do our best to rescue Da Zhuang. Please believe that justice will eventually defeat evil."

The villagers nodded one after another, with determination shining in their eyes. They understand that unity and courage at this moment will be the key to rescuing Li Dazhuang.

As the night got darker, Su Ye sat alone in the office, staring at the starry sky outside the window, praying silently in his heart: "Da Zhuang, you must hold on, we will definitely find you and bring you home safely."

As the news of Li Dazhuang's kidnapping spread in the village, the villagers' hearts were tightened, and the originally lively rural tourism project also temporarily came to a standstill. Su Ye endured his grief and cooperated with the police investigation on the one hand, and actively raised ransom on the other. She did not want to see any villager risking this, so she decided to mortgage all properties in her own name, and even considered turning to investors who had cooperated with her before.

"Su Ye, you can't do this!" Lao Zhangtou hurried over after learning the news, with a worried look on his face, "The kidnappers must have a big appetite. What if the ransom is not enough? Besides, even if they get enough, there is no guarantee. They will let him go."

Su Ye clenched his fists, eyes flashing with determination: "Dazhuang is a person who sacrifices everything for the village. I can't just watch him suffer. I will find a way to deal with the money. You can rest at home and wait for the good news."

Lao Zhangtou looked at Su Ye's resolute expression and sighed. He knew he couldn't persuade the young village director, so he could only pray silently for everything to go well.

At the same time, the police initially identified several suspicious objects through the handwriting on the note and the traces left at the scene. Most of them are villagers who have had land disputes with the village. One of them was dissatisfied with Li Dazhuang's reform measures and threatened to make him pay the price.

"Su Ye, we have got some clues about the kidnappers and are pursuing them with all our strength." Officer Wang, who is in charge of the case, looked serious and reported the progress to Su Ye, "But considering that the kidnappers may have certain anti-investigation capabilities, we need your cooperation. , try to delay the payment of ransom so that we can gain more opportunities to solve the case. "

Su Ye nodded in agreement. She understood that every minute at this moment was related to Li Dazhuang's life and safety. She began to deal with the kidnappers, pretending to raise ransom on the one hand, and secretly cooperating with the police on the other.

"I've prepared the money, please let him go." Su Ye pretended to be calm on the phone, but in fact he was extremely nervous.

"Don't play tricks and send the money to the designated place, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." The kidnapper's cold voice came through the phone, making Su Ye's heart beat faster.

Following the kidnapper's instructions, Su Ye drove alone to the agreed location with a backpack full of cash. Along the way, she kept observing her surroundings, trying to spot possible traps. The police are closely monitoring the situation in the dark and are ready to attack at any time.

When Su Ye arrived at the abandoned mine entrance, he saw a masked man standing in the darkness, shaking his mobile phone in his hand, and the screen showed the tied up Li Dazhuang. She took a deep breath, held back tears, and threw her backpack at the man.

"Let him go!" Su Ye shouted sharply.

The man opened the backpack, confirmed the amount, and signaled his men to release Li Dazhuang. At this moment, the police who had been lying in ambush rushed out and subdued the kidnapper in an instant. Under the protection of the police, Li Dazhuang stumbled towards Su Ye, and the two hugged each other tightly, tears intertwined.

"Su Ye, I'm fine." Li Dazhuang's weak but firm voice sounded in Su Ye's ears, making the stone in her heart finally fall.

This thrilling rescue operation made the villagers admire Su Ye and Li Dazhuang even more. They spontaneously organized a celebration party, singing and dancing to celebrate Li Dazhuang's safe return. Lao Zhang picked up the wine glass and said with emotion: "Su Ye, Da Zhuang, you are the heroes of our village! After experiencing so many ups and downs, we are more convinced that as long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome!"

Li Dazhuang took the wine glass and looked around with tears in his eyes: "Thank you everyone. What I want to say is that this is not a victory for me alone, but a victory for all of us. As long as we continue to work together, our village will surely Can get out of trouble and move towards a better future.”

Su Ye held Li Dazhuang's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Yes, we want those who try to destroy our village to know that no matter how many difficulties we encounter, we will never give in. Because this is our home and our dream ." As night falls, the bonfire at the head of the village is burning, the villagers sit in a circle, and the laughter echoes in the night sky. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat in the middle of the crowd, accepting everyone's praise and respect. A middle-aged woman said with emotion: "Su Ye, Dazhuang, you are really the great benefactors of our village. Without you, there would be no life like today."

"No, Auntie." Su Ye responded humbly, "It's the result of all of us working together. However, we still have more ambitious goals to achieve."

"Yes, Su Ye is right." Li Dazhuang continued, "We not only want the villagers to live a good life, but also let people outside know that our village has the best agricultural products, the most beautiful scenery, and the most honest folk customs.”

"Then what are you going to do?" a young man asked curiously.

"Next step, we will use the e-commerce platform to sell our agricultural products to all parts of the country and even the world." Su Ye replied, with a firm light shining in his eyes, "At the same time, we also need to develop rural tourism to let people outside Come and see our green waters and green mountains for yourself and experience rural life. ”

"Wow, that's great!" The young man clapped his hands excitedly, "I have long wanted my friends to come to our village, and I will be the tour guide then, haha!"

"Good boy, you are ambitious!" Li Dazhuang patted the young man on the shoulder, "Rural tourism can not only drive economic development, but also allow outsiders to understand our countryside and enhance urban-rural exchanges. It serves multiple purposes."

"Su Ye, Da Zhuang, you are really discerning." An old man nodded and praised, "We old men and women can also help. We can tell you the history and legends of the village, and teach the people in the city how to farm and raise food." Chicken and duck.”

"Yes, the villagers are our precious wealth." Su Ye said gratefully, "Only when everyone works together can our rural revitalization go further."

In the days that followed, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang led the villagers to advance various plans intensively. They invited a professional e-commerce team to help villagers open online stores and put dried golden candied dates, organic vegetables, free-range eggs and other special agricultural products on the Internet, and sales have soared. The rural tourism project is also proceeding in an orderly manner. The idle houses in the village have been transformed into B&Bs, and the field paths have been paved with stone slabs to facilitate tourists to stroll and enjoy the pastoral scenery.

"Su Ye, look at how beautifully decorated this B&B is, just like the hotels in the city." Li Dazhuang stood in front of a newly renovated B&B, his face full of pride.

"Yes, Da Zhuang, you have really good taste." Su Ye looked at him approvingly, "Moreover, these are all made by our villagers themselves, and every brick and every piece of wood is condensed with their sweat. and wisdom.”

"Of course, everyone in our village is a skilled craftsman." Li Dazhuang smiled proudly, "When the tourist season arrives, these B&Bs will definitely be full."

As they expected, with the launch of the rural tourism project, the village attracted a large number of tourists. They picked fresh fruits and vegetables in the fields, tasted farm dishes, interacted with the villagers, and laughed one after another. Due to the development of tourism, the income of the villagers has increased significantly and their living conditions have been significantly improved.

"Su Ye, Da Zhuang, you are so amazing!" An aunt held a basket full of eggs and smiled from ear to ear. "My eggs used to be sold in the town, but now they are all sold out by tourists. , the price has doubled.”

"Auntie, these are all the fruits of your hard work." Su Ye said with a smile, "The days to come will only get better and better."

However, just when the road to revitalization of the village seemed to be smooth sailing, a sudden crisis broke the calm. A large real estate company took a fancy to the village's mountainous resources and wanted to acquire land at a high price for the development of a high-end resort. As soon as the news came out, the villagers were panicked and worried about losing the land they depended on for their livelihood.

"Su Ye, Da Zhuang, you have to make the decision for us!" An old farmer came to them anxiously, "We don't want to leave the land where our ancestors have lived for generations, let alone turn the village into a cold resort."

"Don't worry, folks, we will never let this happen." Su Ye said firmly, "Land is our lifeblood and no one can take it away easily."

"Yes, we must stick to our homeland." Li Dazhuang clenched his fists, determination flashing in his eyes, "Even if we fight with that real estate company to the end!"

As a result, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang led the villagers to launch an arduous defense battle with the real estate company. They run around seeking legal aid and exposing the greedy face of the other party; they organize villagers' meetings to build consensus and defend land rights to the death; they speak out through the media to arouse social attention and call for the protection of the rural ecological environment.

"Look, this is our beautiful hometown, is it going to be swallowed up by reinforced concrete?" Su Ye stood in front of the camera, his eyes full of regret, "We welcome socially responsible investments, but we will never allow any damage to the ecology, The act of plundering resources.”

"Su Ye is right, we would rather be poor than lose our home." Li Dazhuang stood beside her and added firmly.

After months of struggle, the villagers finally won. The real estate company gave up its acquisition plan under pressure from public opinion. The village has returned to its former tranquility, and the villagers have finally let go of their worries.

"Su Ye, Da Zhuang, you are really our guardian angels." An old man held their hands tightly with tears in his eyes, "Without you, we really don't know what to do."

"Uncle, this is what we should do." Su Ye gently patted the back of the old man's hand, "Remember, as long as we are here, no one will be allowed to invade our home."

"Yes, as long as we are here, there is hope." Li Dazhuang agreed, with perseverance shining in his eyes.

As the sun sets, the village is bathed in the golden afterglow, looking particularly peaceful and beautiful. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang walked side by side on the field road, behind them were the laughing villagers, and in front of them was a promising future.

"Su Ye, what do you think our village will look like in the future?" Li Dazhuang looked into the distance, his eyes full of expectation.

Su Ye turned to look at him, with a smile on his lips: "Dazhuang, as long as we stick to our original aspirations and insist on green development, our village will definitely become more beautiful and rich, and the lives of the villagers will become better and better. And this beautiful future requires all of us to work together.”
