Xia Wan pouted but didn't argue with her father. Instead, she took the opportunity to ask, "Dad, I've almost saved up enough money! We need to seize this opportunity to go to Beijing to get your leg treated! Otherwise, should we... deal with Old Man Xia and the others first?"

Hearing this, Xia Jianguo's expression froze slightly. He looked at his daughter with suspicion and asked in bewilderment, "Daughter, you've only just started working, and you haven't even received your salary yet. How come you have so much money so quickly?"

Xia Wan inwardly cried out in alarm, but remained calm on the surface and quickly replied, "Oh, Dad, don't worry! This money was all earned through legitimate means, there's absolutely no problem with it!"

Moreover, this money is more than enough to cover the cost of leg surgery in Beijing! However, there are still some troublesome matters in our Huaihua Brigade that haven't been properly resolved yet.

If we leave rashly like this, the people in Beijing will definitely hear about it very quickly. Then, once we get there, we'll probably face many unknown risks!

Actually, she didn't want to hide it from her father. The most important reason was that the system was undergoing an upgrade, and who knew when it would be able to complete the upgrade and go back online!

Since the small system started upgrading, it has vanished without a trace, as if it had disappeared into thin air.

Therefore, Xia Wan found it inconvenient to explain the specific source of the money to her father.

Fortunately, she still has enough money on hand. If things really come to a head, she can just go up the mountain to hunt a wild boar before leaving and sell it for money!

In short, no matter what, Xia Wan firmly believed that she would not delay her father's medical treatment because of a lack of money!

Moreover, treating the leg needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible; of course, the sooner the better.

Xia Jianguo gently rubbed his temples and frowned slightly, but ultimately did not pursue the matter further.

He knew that some things didn't need to be questioned to the end, as long as he could ensure that no major problems arose.

So, in a calm and serious tone, he instructed, "In that case, go and deal with this matter quickly! But remember, whatever you do, don't let anyone die, lest you bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself. Especially that person in the mountains, he might not be easy to deal with, so be extra careful when you act!"

In fact, Xia Jianguo didn't really care about those people's lives or deaths; he just knew in his heart that there seemed to be a complex network of relationships hidden behind his background.

Although he doesn't currently have a strong desire to reunite with his biological parents, he feels it's necessary to address these potential problems in advance, considering he will soon be going to Beijing for leg surgery.

Hearing her father's words, Xia Wan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, "Thank goodness my father is a clear-headed person!"

Then, she patted her chest and assured them, "You can rest assured! I'm always reliable, and I'll definitely arrange everything perfectly."

After saying that, a sly glint flashed in Xia Wan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Hehe, let's start with the Xia family! First, we need to make that hateful old man Xia and that shrewish old woman Xia suffer a bit..."

While Xia Wan was busily carrying out a thorough cleaning operation at home, Xia Tao looked rather disheveled.

He was covered in dust, looking disheveled, and slowly pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

Because of the urgency of the situation, he hadn't had time to properly tidy himself up before rushing to his colleague's house to retrieve the things he had asked the colleague to bring back for him.

At this moment, the pain in his body showed that he had almost forgotten the beating he had just suffered. He didn't even notice his disheveled appearance and went straight home.

When Xia Wan saw him, she widened her eyes in astonishment and asked, "Brother, what happened to you? Did you roll down the mountain?"

Xia Tao returned shortly after leaving, looking disheveled and covered in mud, with several obvious abrasions on his face and body.

Xia Wan naturally assumed that her brother had an accident while going up the mountain.

Faced with his sister's concerned inquiry, Xia Tao felt a little guilty. He felt embarrassed and didn't want his sister to know about it.

But he quickly recovered and made up an excuse, saying, "I just tripped and fell while walking, don't worry, it's nothing serious, just a scrape. Xiao Wan, what are you getting ready to move? Let me do it!"

Hearing her brother say this, Xia Wan felt a little relieved, nodded slightly, and believed his words without questioning him further.

"Alright, bro, since you're all settled, you should go back to your room and rest. Everything's taken care of here, you don't need to worry about me."

Seeing that his younger sister had no suspicions, Xia Tao nodded with relief, then quickly went into the house to change his clothes.

However, he was completely unaware that soon after, the thing he had been trying so hard to hide would be completely exposed.

Xia Wan was carrying a pile of trash she had swept up earlier, intending to take it out to throw it away. Unexpectedly, she ran into Wu Xiangdong on the way.

"Brother Xiangdong, are you... feeling better?" Xia Wan asked softly, her eyes unconsciously glancing at the crowd not far away, worried that others might overhear about Wu Xiangdong's hospitalization.

After all, it's unclear whether it's necessary to keep those two spies a secret.

Wu Xiangdong smiled and took a few more steps closer to her, lowering his voice to say, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I really have to thank you, Xia Wan, this time!"

Then, his expression turned serious, and he continued in a low voice, "We need to find a way to deal with those thugs as soon as possible. Taozi and Uncle Xia will eventually have to go out on their own, and it would be dangerous if they ran into them again. As the saying goes, two fists can't fight four hands, and it would be bad if they got hurt again."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan frowned: "What kind of thugs?"

For a moment, she was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Could it be that saving Wu Xiangdong has brought him unnecessary trouble?

But those two clearly looked like spies back then, how come they've turned into thugs now?

Seeing Xia Wan's puzzled expression, Wu Xiangdong suddenly realized that Xia Tao had gone to the city after parting ways with him and probably hadn't returned home yet.

In this way, Xia Wan naturally had no way of knowing about these things involving local thugs.
