When Huo Shixiang and Yu Juan woke up again, they were awakened by a series of knocks on the door.

Huo Shixiang woke up slowly and looked around in a daze. Yes, this was the bedroom of the couple, but how could Yu Juan become a nun overnight?

At this time, the sound of banging on doors and anxious and panicked shouts continued to be heard in the corridor outside.

"Sir, Mr. Huo, wake up! Something terrible has happened! A major tragedy has struck your home..."

"They're here!"

Having been in the political arena for two or three decades, Huo Shixiang quickly calmed down. He called out to the door and reached out to push Yu Juan, who had fallen to the ground.

"Wake up, Yujuan, wake up quickly, something happened at home."

"Hmm—"

Yu Juan woke up drowsily. She opened her eyes, turned around, and saw the bald head. She subconsciously wanted to shout, but was immediately scolded by Huo Shixiang.

"Shut up, get up right now! Didn't you hear the housekeeper banging on the door saying something happened at home and we need to go downstairs to deal with it?"

"What? Something happened? What happened?"

Upon hearing that something had happened at home, Yu Juan forgot about being scared and quickly sat up. Without even putting on slippers, she went barefoot to the wardrobe.

result--

The moment she opened the wardrobe door, her pupils widened instantly, almost popping out of her eyes. Looking at the empty wardrobe, Yu Juan was filled with disbelief.

Where are her clothes?

Where are all her beautiful clothes? Where are they?

"Shixiang, Shixiang, come quick! A thief has broken into our house! Our clothes, all our clothes are gone..."

As she was talking, Yu Juan suddenly thought of her jewelry. Her heart pounded and her eyelids kept twitching. Without thinking of anything else, she quickly ran to check her jewelry.

However, upon closer inspection—

The drawer was completely empty!

Not only are the jewelry gone, but even the jewelry box is missing.

"Aaaaah! That damned thief! My jade, my sapphire necklace, my dowry, and my land deeds—all stolen..."

"Oh right, and there's money too, Shixiang, quickly check if our money and gold bars are still there..."

Yu Juan's words were cut off before she could finish speaking, because Huo Shixiang had already opened the hidden compartment, which contained all the money and gold and silver treasures, but she hadn't seen a single coin.

Not only that, but everything of value in the entire bedroom, except for her and Huo Shixiang, was stolen overnight.

Seeing this, Yu Juan, who had already suffered several blows, could no longer bear it and fainted again.

Huo Shixiang wasn't in the mood to care about her right now. He glanced at her casually, gritted his teeth, grabbed his work clothes, put them on, and strode out of the bedroom.

As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, he saw the housekeeper pacing back and forth in the corridor, looking flustered. Huo Shixiang immediately asked, "Aunt Qiu, what's going on?"

"Sir? Good heavens, Mr. Huo, what happened to you? And your face, why is it all messed up?"

Aunt Qiu was almost frantic. When she saw Huo Shixiang finally come out, she quickly turned around, but when she saw Huo Shixiang's condition, she was so frightened that she took a big step back.

Wasn't everything fine last night?

How come Mr. Huo went bald after just one night?

Even his face was covered in words, a very clear line that seemed to say something like: "I'm a bastard and I'm proud!"

Aunt Qiu's lips twitched, and she quickly lowered her head, biting her lower lip hard, afraid that she would burst out laughing.

Who is so awesome? How dare they write such a sentence on Huo Shixiang's face?

Huo Shixiang was furious at the moment. He stared at Aunt Qiu and questioned her sharply, "I was just about to ask you! There was a thief in the house last night, why didn't anyone notice? Where are the people at home? Are they all dead?"

"Well, I don't know what happened either. I got up this morning and went to the kitchen to make breakfast as usual, only to find that all the antique porcelain and valuables in the living room were gone..."

When this was mentioned, Aunt Qiu looked troubled. She was usually a light sleeper and would be awakened by the slightest noise outside. But for some reason, she slept straight through until dawn last night.

"What did you say? All those things downstairs are gone too?"

Huo Shixiang's voice immediately broke the silence, becoming shrill and piercing. He swayed, his face filled with disbelief, his mind consumed by the thought that all his top-tier antiques had been stolen.

He went through a lot of trouble to get that back.

And now...

It’s gone, all gone.

The thought of losing all his prized possessions was too much for Huo Shixiang to bear, and he fainted from anger.

His sudden fainting spell startled Aunt Qiu quite a bit. "Sir..."

Aunt Qiu quickly pinched his philtrum hard. A few seconds later, Huo Shixiang slowly woke up. He said weakly, "That damned thief! He better not let me find out who he is, or I'll definitely tear him to pieces!"

If he had known that there would be thieves, he should have moved the antique porcelain to another yard of his.

Now look what's happened...

Not a single coin was left.

"Sir, you'd better hurry downstairs to check on the old lady! Something's happened to her!" Aunt Qiu steadied herself and urged Huo Shixiang urgently.

"My mom? What happened to her?"

Upon hearing that his mother was in trouble, Huo Shixiang's attention was immediately diverted.

"Go take a look upstairs, and you'll see..."

Aunt Qiu's eyes darted away, unable to bring herself to say it. She had been young once too, and as someone who had been through it all, she knew very well what those sounds coming from the second-floor bedroom meant.

Grandpa Huo was sleeping in his bedroom on the first floor, and no matter how much they called him, they couldn't wake him up. But then they heard those kinds of sounds coming from the old lady's bedroom on the second floor, and they were getting louder and louder.

Aunt Qiu went upstairs and was shocked when she heard it. She didn't even dare to knock on the door. She turned around and ran to the third floor. Unexpectedly, she knocked on the door for a long time when she got there. Her hands were red from clapping before she woke up Huo Shixiang and Yu Juan.

Where is my dad?

"The old man is still not awake. I asked Xiao Li to call him earlier, but he couldn't wake him up even after a long time."

"Go and call again!"

Huo Shixiang coldly tossed out a sentence, got up and went downstairs. Just then, Yu Juan also woke up. She had just stepped out of the bedroom when she saw Huo Shixiang walking downstairs.

So she hurriedly followed.

unexpectedly--

As soon as I got down to the second floor, a series of embarrassing sounds came from the bedroom on the left.

Upon hearing this, Huo Shixiang and Yu Juan nearly vomited blood and died. Enraged, Huo Shixiang kicked the door open.

With a "bang".

The door was kicked open.

The scene inside the room was utterly appalling!

It's midnight again today~
