The gatekeeper looked timidly at Qiu Dafu and cautiously asked, "Are you in cahoots?"

Qiu Dafu really didn't want to talk to this fool anymore. "If you were in cahoots, do you think you'd still be alive to talk to me now?"

"I'll go right away." The servant's tense mood eased somewhat.

"Master, Madam, something terrible has happened! We've been robbed..." As he shouted, chaos erupted in the Jiang family courtyard.

During the announcement, Brother Jiang rushed out, asking, "What happened?"

"Third Young Master, a group of bandits have come to the courtyard..."

"Who dares to cause trouble in front of my Jiang residence!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Sange rushed to the courtyard gate. Seeing the bandits banging on the gate and hearing their incessant knocking, he felt a sense of panic.

Upon discovering that Qiu Dafu had returned, he asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you here now?"

The events of tonight happened suddenly. Jiang Lian, the third son of the Jiang family, felt that it was all somewhat unreal, but the facts were right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe that his family had been robbed by thugs.

Qiu Dafu: "Third Young Master, it's a long story. I'll explain it to you later."

Jiang Lian knew this wasn't the time to talk, so he and Qiu Dafu stood in front of the door.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were awakened by the panicked noises in the courtyard. They got up one after the other and just saw their third daughter-in-law rushing towards them. "Father, Mother, run..."

The three met, and without saying much, they all went to find Jiang Liu.

"Miss, wake up, there's a thief..." Jiang Liu was woken up by Cui Zhu in her sleep. In a daze, she thought she was still dreaming, so she turned over and went back to sleep.

"Miss, things are urgent, please don't sleep."

"Liu'er!"

Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang and the third sister-in-law of the Jiang family arrived at Jiang Liu's courtyard.

When Jiang Liu saw her parents and third sister-in-law, she realized she wasn't dreaming...

Ahead, the bandits finally broke down the courtyard gate.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

They were furious. The leader of the bandits, cursing, rushed into the courtyard. He raised his broadsword and slashed at Jiang Lian in front of him, but Qiu Dafu blocked his way.

"Arrogant!" Jiang Lian roared, throwing a punch at the leader of the robbers in the face.

"None of them will leave alive!" The man slapped back. Jiang Lian, a scholar and a somewhat arrogant rich young master, was encountering such a thing for the first time.

Before his fist landed, he saw the robber swing his knife at him again.

For a moment, Zheng Lian forgot to breathe.

In the nick of time, Qiu Dafu stepped forward, blocking Jiang Lian's path, grabbed the robber's wrist with one hand, and snatched his machete from him with the other.

Then, he swept his foot, and the man fell down, his buttocks hurting.

The man, assuming the people in the mansion were all good-for-nothings, was caught off guard. After falling, he quickly got up and realized everyone around him was staring at him. A surge of anger welled up inside him.

"What are you waiting for? Charge in!"

When Jiang Lian saw the man wielding a knife and starting to fight Qiu Dafu, his face paled.

After dodging an attack, he shouted angrily, "You villains, is there no law left?!"

As Jiang Lian was speaking, another person swung a knife at him.

He stared at the person in front of him in horror, his expression changing again.

Fortunately, Qiu Dafu saved him once again.

"Stop!" At this moment, Jiang's father arrived.

He stood trembling before Jiang Lian and said to the leader of the robbers:

"We have the money, but please don't take lives!"

These robbers weren't just after money; they wanted both your money and your life!
