When asked by her mother, Juanjuan simply shook her head, but recounted what she had witnessed.

There was such a thick fog that I couldn't see anything.

Juanjuan looked in the direction where her older brother should have been; judging from the sound, it should have been from that direction.

She knew it was her older brother's secret, and she dared not tell him.

She had a premonition that if she revealed her brothers' secret, something big would happen in the family.

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is inherent in all humans.

"Mother, I can get down by myself."

Juanjuan looked at her mother's bleeding arm and quickly tried to get down.

As soon as she landed, she heard a series of hurried footsteps. She peeked out and saw a group of people dressed in the same clothes and carrying knives.

Behind that group of people was a boy dressed in a beautiful purple outfit.

Juanjuan recognized the boy; he had visited their home before and was the county magistrate's second son.

That's the person Mother just asked my second brother to find.

"mother!"

Bai Yunxing ran up from behind, panting, and looked at his mother's bleeding arm, checking her wound.

The cut wasn't short, but fortunately it wasn't deep and didn't damage any tendons or bones.

"It's alright, don't worry."

Jiang Dai looked at her second son, who was covered in sweat and panting heavily from running. She smiled and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but when she saw that her hands were covered in blood, she didn't lift them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yunxing!"

Going to get reinforcements is no easy task.

Carrying the hopes of everyone on his shoulders, he had to run for his life.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

"Madam Jiang."

Jiang Dai bowed to Li Pingqing: "Second Young Master Li."

"Madam Jiang, please come with me to see a doctor! The bleeding is..."

Li Pingqing was also a little anxious; how could he not be?

He was acting on someone's behalf, and Liang Tian'er had already said that Madam Jiang was the true author of the storybook.

That "The Legend of the Great Sage" is truly captivating; he's practically obsessed with it now, especially since he already knows who wrote it.

We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Madam Jiang!

Does this mean we'll never see the ending?

That won't do, that won't do!

"Thank you, then I'll leave you to my care, young master."

Jiang Dai glanced at the wound on her arm but didn't refuse; it really hurt.

Especially after you relax, the pain is excruciating, and the aftereffects kick in.

"Of course, of course. Madam Jiang, please take good care of yourself."

Li Pingqing instructed his men to take the unconscious people back. In broad daylight, a group of people suddenly appeared and started kidnapping people; it was utterly lawless.

Dad will definitely handle this matter properly.

...

"Big brother?"

A familiar voice came from not far away.

Bai Yunqi, who was still looking for the person who had just attacked him, turned around.

Then I saw my third brother, who was carrying a small satchel and seemed to be overjoyed to see me.

"Brother, are you also going home? What a coincidence."

Bai Yun'an smiled as he looked at his elder brother.

Bai Yunqi stopped looking for the person who had escaped earlier and greeted his younger brother, saying, "That's right, what a coincidence."

"Let's go home together!"

Bai Yunqi called to his younger brother, since things at home were mostly settled.

It was his mother's bleeding arm that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Bai Yunqi was influenced by his upbringing and was able to put his protectiveness into practice.

Although he had spent a considerable amount of time with this family, Bai Yunqi had already included them in his own circle.

That group of people kidnapped my sister, injured my mother, and even knocked out my useless father.

Bai Yunqi felt that he had hit the target a little too lightly.

"Big brother?"

Bai Yun'an tentatively called out.

He felt that this older brother's appearance was a bit... too coincidental!

"Um?"

Bai Yunqi turned to look at his younger brother, seemingly puzzled as to why he was suddenly being called.

The next second.

Bai Yun'an's expression changed slightly: "Under your feet..."

Bai Yunqi: ?

With a "splat", Bai Yunqi felt a soft touch under his feet.

It's novel, but also not good.

Bai Yun'an: "There's a pile of dog poop."

Bai Yunqi: ...

The atmosphere was silent, and there was an awkward moment.

"Aaaaaaah! Dog shit!!!"

Bai Yunqi realized what was happening and started frantically rubbing his foot on the ground, trying to wipe the dog poop off.

This was the first time he had stepped in dog poop. The last time he touched dog poop didn't count; that time there was gold in it, so he was flexible and adaptable.

This time it won't work, no gold, just pure trampling!

Bai Yun'an tilted his head and silently watched his "mad" older brother.

Well... never mind, he doesn't seem very smart either.

Besides, the eldest brother has already fallen into a cesspool, why would he complain about this little bit of dog poop?

Or perhaps he's been traumatized by latrines and is now even more frantic at the sight of dog poop?

But thinking about what he had just witnessed, Bai Yun'an didn't want to waste any more time with Bai Yunqi here.

"Brother, let's go, I'm hungry, let's go home quickly."

Who knows how Juanjuan is doing now? Something must have happened to her family.

Killing Kang An was definitely the right decision.

Before they even reached their doorstep, just after turning a corner, they encountered their father, who was being carried on someone's back and was unconscious.

The two, who already knew the truth, both pretended to be surprised and unaware.

When the kind neighbors who had accompanied the children saw them, they told them what had just happened, one after another.

"Let's go to the clinic first. Your mother and the others are going to the clinic too."
