That night, Bai Yajing tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly.

In the dead of night, when all was quiet, a dark figure climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

Ignoring the fact that he might disturb the people inside, he quickly went inside.

Bai Yajing was a light sleeper to begin with, and she suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the noise.

He picked up a dagger and quietly pressed it against the door.

Then I heard a few soft knocks on the door.

Hmm? Not a thief?

Thieves and bad guys don't just knock on the door honestly!

"who?"

"It's me, Xiao Che!"

Bai Yajing was stunned for a moment when she heard the familiar voice. Wasn't he out on a mission?

However, without thinking too much about it, he quickly opened the door.

"Why are you here? Weren't you on a mission?"

Xiao Che's face was pale, his expression sorrowful, and his eyes were filled with reluctance as he looked up at her.

"I just got back. Something happened to the Xiao family... Tonight, Grandpa and Mom and Dad were taken away."

"Those people will come to ransack my house first thing tomorrow morning, and I won't be able to escape it either..."

He completed his mission and rushed back overnight, only to find that his entire family had been arrested!

After saying that, he took the package off his back and stuffed it into her arms.

Arrest them tonight, set charges against them first thing tomorrow morning, and then openly raid their homes...

"Rather than let those beasts profit from it, I'd rather you have it. Take it and use it. I'm leaving..."

He didn't dare give her too much, fearing she would be targeted.

Otherwise, they would want to empty all the good things in their house for the girl in their heart, so that she could live a carefree life for the rest of her life.

Bai Yajing was shocked. So fast!

However, she still held onto Xiao Che, not wanting him to do something irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness.

"Don't be impulsive! Listen to me, what you need to do now is to arrange things for them afterward!"

Your Xiao family must have some connections, right? Grandpa Xiao and the others will definitely be sent to the countryside. Could you ask someone to put their address in Xinghua Village?

If they end up in Xinghua Village, I can take care of them! Before you're framed for anything, you should find someone to be discharged from the army and then arranged to be sent to the countryside, also in Xinghua Village! Can you do that?

With so many connections in the Xiao family, and those old marshals and generals, they wouldn't just let it go unchecked. The reason they secretly arrested people at night was precisely because they were afraid of being stopped!

Then they'll catch the other side off guard!

The demotion of the Xiao family is now a foregone conclusion!

Xiao Che suddenly turned around and looked at her.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Given the current situation of the Xiao family, apart from a few other families, everyone else is avoiding them like the plague.

Bai Yajing isn't afraid at all! She even dared to get involved.

The other person rolled their eyes in exasperation. "What's there to be afraid of! I'm leaving soon. Once I'm back in Xinghua Village, what can they do to me?"

Just kidding, the whole village of Xinghua is tough as nails. When fighting the Japanese pirates, even the little kids dared to fight guerrilla warfare. Those dirty tricks never reached Xinghua Village.

Daring to come to the village to arrest people? They probably want to go in upright and come out horizontal!

No one dared to mess with that area. Even the commune leaders were always very polite to them.

Xiao Che suddenly smiled, and a ripple stirred in his previously desolate and sorrowful heart.

Okay. I'll do as you say.

After saying that, he left.

Bai Yunshu only emerged from the darkness after he left.

"Go ahead. Come back soon and be careful." Although his niece hadn't said it, he had long suspected she had a secret, but he didn't ask.

Everyone has secrets; he just wanted her to be safe.
