Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Lauren was angry at how arrogantly Jerry had been acting .

She could not help but think these martial arts experts were all challenging to deal with , whether it was Tracia or Jerry .

Andrew suddenly spoke up .

I know what hes so smug about , but unfortunately , it wont help him at all !! Please tell me where to find the clues about the stolen herbs ! Lauren exclaimed excitedly .

Andrew explained , He must be thinking about following the trucks tire tracks .

Lauren nodded thoughtfully , Thats actually not a bad idea .

There are plenty of dirt roads in the countryside , and our trucks would definitely leave tracks .

Andrew shook his head and replied , Unless the thieves are complete idiots , they wouldnt leave such obvious tracks for us to follow .

Besides , Ms.

Rhodes , have you considered what happens when the trucks hit concrete or asphalt roads ? I guess that would make the tracks useless … Lauren deflated .

Lets go , Andrew said with a smile .

Where to ? Lauren asked , confused .

Andrew hopped into an SUV and explained , Back to the farm .

This area is in the remote countryside , and if we want to find where theyre hiding the herbs , the local residents know best .

Lauren , being a sharp woman , immediately brightened up as Andrews suggestion clicked .

Of course ! Why didnt I think of that ? Those criminals who stole our herbs couldnt have moved it far in such a short time , so they must have hidden it nearby to transport later .

Andrew smiled knowingly , Exactly .

While our people are completely lost in this remote area , the locals who grew up here are different .

Theyd know exactly where someone could hide seven trucks .

Half an hour later , Andrew and Lauren left the farm again , but this time with a young teenager in their car .

The boy happily accepted the money and was about to sprint away wherr Andrew called out , Hold on , kid ! Mr.

Lloyd , youre not going back on your word , are you ? Mikey asked suspiciously .

Andrew chuckled and pulled out an additional 600 dollars from his wallet .

Take this too .

I know your grandpa isnt well , and its tough for him to pay for both you and your sisters education .

You can keep the 150 , but make sure to give this 600 to your grandpa to manage .

The young boys eyes welled up with tears .

Overwhelmed by the gesture , he repeatedly thanked Andrew before running home happily .
