Black Tiger noticed a golden chain around Chen Jinlong's neck. Could it be the energy wave reflected from that thing?

"Master, this guy has a gold chain around his neck."

Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger rushed over without saying a word, hooked the necklace with his cat paw, and tore it off.

However, at the moment the chain snapped, something fell to the ground covered with pebbles with a crisp sound.

Black Tiger, Fatty Tiger, and Luo Jingyan were simultaneously drawn by the sound and looked at the object that had fallen to the ground.

Black Tiger and Fat Tiger have naturally good eyesight and can see things that people can't see in the dark. Luo Jingyan also saw the thing clearly with the light coming from the door.

A small, bright red patch, in the darker areas, seemed to shimmer with a soft glow.

They both stared intently at the red object and discovered it was a translucent stone, shaped like a teardrop.

After a while, they finally realized what was happening and said in unison, "The bloodstone, it's that bloodstone."

You could tell how excited they were from the excitement in their voices.

"Master, we've found it! We've finally found it!"

Black Tiger's round eyes sparkled. Overjoyed, it jumped up and down. Fat Tiger's jump was so loud that it wriggled around beside it, releasing its excitement.

Luo Jingyan picked up the bloodstone and placed it in her palm. The surface of the bloodstone was very smooth, and she felt a cool sensation in her hand, which was very comfortable.

She couldn't resist picking it up and examining it closely. She discovered that the red bloodstone seemed to have veins, or like the red blood vessels in a human body, constantly flowing and changing.

"That's amazing!"

This makes it even more certain that this is what they are looking for.

After a while, as they calmed down from their excitement at finding the bloodstone, Black Tiger said, "Master, let's go look for other treasures."

"good."

She put the bloodstone into her spatial storage, planning to study it after returning to the foot of the mountain.

They entered Chen Jinlong's house together, and Black Tiger quickly discovered where Chen Jinlong had hidden his treasure—under the earthen bed where he slept.

Black Tiger jumped onto the earthen bed above where the treasure was placed: "Master, there's something down there."

Luo Jingyan quickly went over and removed the bedding that was laid on top, revealing blocks of adobe bricks underneath.

Then, Fat Tiger jumped up and lifted a mud brick with one paw. Sure enough, there was a wooden box underneath. Fat Tiger then lifted up the other mud bricks, revealing two wooden boxes.

Luo Jingyan opened the wooden boxes. One of them was full of gold and silver jewelry, as well as two stacks of banknotes; the other wooden box contained calligraphy, paintings, antiques and the like.

With a wave of her hand, she put both boxes of things into her spatial storage.

She saw two pistols on Chen Jinlong's kang (a heated brick bed), one a homemade gun and the other a more advanced one, and took them both.

Black Tiger found no other treasures in this room, so they went to another room.

They originally thought all their wealth would be concentrated in Chen Jinlong's possession, but unexpectedly, they also found something in Hong Yuanbao's room, although the quantity was smaller and not as valuable as what Chen Jinlong had. There were only four gold bars and a few silver ingots, and only a few hundred dollars.

Following the principle that even a small mosquito bite is still meat, Luo Jingyan took them all without hesitation.

There wasn't anything of value in the other rooms afterwards.

Finally, they arrived outside the house where the women and children were being held. The wooden door was locked, but through the crack, they could see that the women and children inside were still asleep.

Luo Jingyan asked Pang Hu, "Can you pry open this lock?"

"I'll give it a try."

Fat Tiger grabbed the lock from both sides with his two paws and pried it open with a little force.

At this moment, the two people were still asleep.

To avoid revealing herself and the two cats, Luo Jingyan did not intend to wake them.

If they wake up, she won't be able to explain to them how she took down so many people, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble afterwards. The fewer people who know her and the cats' secret, the better; it would be best not to leave anyone with even the possibility of suspicion.

Anyway, these bandits can't hurt these two people now. When they wake up and see the door is open, they'll probably think about escaping. Even if they don't dare to escape, the police will rescue them when they arrive.

In short, she has already helped them a lot, and she can't not think about herself at all.

After looting the place, Luo Jingyan and the two cats went down the mountain and returned home.

Li Hongying arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain as the morning star rose.

She wondered if her mother and Liu Aiguo would have someone else arrest and sell her again if she went home like this.

By the way, she could report it to the police and have them arrest Liu's mother and Liu Aiguo, which would be a way to avenge her.

But then she thought of another problem: Luo Jingyan and Zhuang Feifei had been taken up the mountain and were probably being bullied by Chen Jinlong.

If she reports it to the police, they will definitely ask her about the whereabouts of the bandits. If the bandits are caught, wouldn't Luo Jingyan and Zhuang Feifei be rescued?

No, she couldn't let those two get away with it.

She would find a place to stay for a while, and then go home to ask Liu Aiguo for a divorce once it was fully light. If Liu Aiguo refused, she would threaten to tell the police. In her mind, Liu Aiguo was only good at bullying her, and he would be so scared of the police that he would definitely agree to divorce her.

She went back to the old house again and rested there for a while.

The pitch-black night gradually faded, and the first light of dawn appeared in the east.

Luo Jingyan released the three people from the space and tied them to three trees in the yard, then went to find the captain.

"Captain, three bandits broke into my house last night, but I subdued them. Get some men to check on them and then take them to the brigade headquarters so the police can handle it."

The captain knew that Luo Jingyan knew kung fu, but he didn't expect her to be so skilled that she actually subdued three bandits.

"Okay, you go home first. I'll go and call the militia to come with me and take them to the brigade headquarters."

"Okay, Captain."

Not long after Luo Jingyan returned, Luo Changtian also woke up. As soon as he went out, he saw three people tied to a tree, which surprised him greatly.

He sleeps soundly every night; what exactly happened yesterday?

He rushed into the kitchen and asked Luo Jingyan, "Sister, what's going on with those three people outside?"

“The three of them broke into our house to steal things last night. I knocked them out and tied them up. I’ve already gone to see the captain. He’ll be here with some men soon to take them away and hand them over to the police.”

Luo Changtian scratched his head, blaming himself for being too lazy and useless. He didn't even know a thief had broken into the house, leaving his sister to deal with three of them all by herself.

"Sister, can I learn kung fu from you from now on? I don't want to be protected by you all the time. I want to protect myself and you too."

Luo Jingyan patted his head: "Okay, I'll teach you whenever you have time."

"Thank you, sister."
