Chapter 618 Lucky Horseshoes

“What do they want my father to do?” Wendy asked impatiently. “…help them find a group of people,” said Zhang Heng, whose expression became a little weird all of a sudden.

“Who are those people?”

“More than a month ago, there was a robbery in s.h.i.+ning Silver Town. A group of masked men robbed a bank and looted forty kilograms of gold. However, few people knew that they also took something that they are not supposed to take. That thing belongs to the Cook.

“Cook wants your father to help him find that thing, but he seems to have other plans too,” Zhang Heng said.

“But… the timeline does not match. As far as I know, the one-armed man came to Lincoln County very early and lived next to our house…” Wendy frowned, “…wait; you’re saying that the Cook has been watching my father all these years?”

“I’m afraid that’s the truth.” “Until Cook lost whatever they had, they contacted my father and asked him to come to Bliss. My father is half Indian, and that makes him a master tracker. After that, they used the lives of the farmers in the town to threaten my father, forcing him to help them to find someone!”

Thus, Wendy finally figured out the ins and outs of this matter.

“Twelve days ago, Cook left ten people to keep an eye on the farmers, and he left town with your father and the remaining thirty-odd.”

“So my father only needs to help Cook to find whoever they’re looking for, and he’ll be set free?” Wendy asked.

“It’s not that simple, I’m afraid,” Zhang Heng shook his head. “Cook ordered their men who stayed behind to kill everyone in half a month. After that, they were supposed to leave Bliss and meet in Lincoln County.” “Huh?” Wendy’s eyes widened. “What are they doing in Lincoln County?”

“You haven’t seen it yet. Cook doesn’t actually care about the thing he lost,” Zhang Heng said. “Your father has been their goal from the very beginning. They plan to go to Lincoln County to avenge the one-armed man executed not too long ago. If they pull it off, your father, who is with them, will be treated as their accomplice. In simple words, he has nowhere to go other than to stay with Cook’s Gang.”

“So, what should we do then?”

Wendy’s reaction was calmer than Zhang Heng expected. Although worried about her father, she did not lose her mind. Instead, she said, “If you can help me resolve this, I can call the shots and give you half of my family’s land and the cattle that live on it.”

“At this point, there is only one way to solve this problem. We need to stop them before they arrive at Lincoln. However, even if I can’t handle thirty-odd people at the same time. We have to look for help.”

Two days later, Zhang Heng and Wendy rushed back to Glen Town.

“Haha! Look who we have here,” the sheriff outside the police station sneered. “I have been waiting for this day to arrive! Well, it hasn’t

expect to avenge my horse so soon.”
