Chapter 243: Catch Them All

Su Junyao slammed the ledger shut, not even having time to correct Qiuqiu's swearing.

"Stop guessing. Everything will be resolved once we arrest Shao Xin."

Can it really be solved?

Su Junyao choked, unsure how to refute.

But Chiu Chiu was just speculating on her own. She didn't like to use her brain; she just kicked her little legs and made a fuss about wanting it.

Sigh, my dad's just too indecisive. He should just arrest them all!

Children think differently than adults. Chiu Chiu's mission is to wipe out all the bad guys and use her fists to fight against all schemes and tricks.

Everything else is meaningless before all power!

[We've caught him! Beat him to death!]

Qiuqiu is becoming increasingly violent, and Su Junyao gets a headache just thinking about it. Yet, he can't reveal his secret of being able to hear her thoughts.

Just as he was about to grab Qiuqiu and give her a lecture, Su Gui suddenly turned his wheelchair to the side, gliding past him with Qiuqiu in tow. "Instead of guessing here, let's just wipe out the entire Shao family in one fell swoop. My mother left behind a lot of notes; if you don't mind the trouble, cousin, you can go to the study to look for them."

Su Gui took Qiu Qiu and ran off very quickly, leaving only Su Junyao, the worried old father, jumping up and down in place: "I told you we shouldn't spoil the kids, and you all went against me!"

No matter how angry he was, I couldn't hear a single word he uttered.

The temperature in the southwest was much higher than in the capital, and even in winter it was pleasantly warm. She nestled in Su Gui's arms, basking in the sun. Ignoring their current predicament, it was actually quite enjoyable.

She tanned both the front and back sides, her goal being to get an even tan.

But there are always people who don't want her to have a peaceful life!

"Cough cough cough."

Chiu Chiu wrinkled her face, her nose itchy, and frantically fanned away the dust flying everywhere in the air with her little hands. Su Junyao had actually brought out all those notebooks, and was now sorting through the books with Yun Shuyue.

"Hmm... Father?"

Chiu Chiu curiously peeked out from the left and right, but Su Gui pressed her head down, saying, "Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."

Although he said that, he still pushed Qiuqiu towards the two of them. But he didn't get too close, afraid that Qiuqiu would choke.

The uncle and nephew both looked at Su Junyao and Yun Shuyue with disdain as they busied themselves, asking, "What?"

Su Gui said, "They must be looking for evidence."

Qiuqiu clung to Su Gui's neck, pointing in another direction, ready to leave. She didn't have the patience to watch any of this. Just as she was about to go, Yun Shuyue stepped forward and pulled Qiuqiu back, "Qiuqiu, come help!"

Chuchu was clumsily scooped up by her older cousin, like a piglet being strangled. After struggling in vain, she was placed on a pile of dusty books. Her chubby little legs kicked wildly, screaming, "Dirty, Chuchu doesn't want this!"

Yun Shuyue tapped her forehead: "Why are you not clean when you should be, and why are you cleaning blindly when you shouldn't be? Quickly help us pick out a few books."

Chirp, hands tucked inside, refused to cooperate. [Am I some kind of easy person? I won't do it, it's dirty.]

Yun Shuyue tempted her: "Chiu Chiu, pick a useful book and I'll buy you something delicious. I heard that Yuncheng's specialty flower pastries are very tasty. Do you want to try them, Chiu Chiu?"

Chiu Chiu patted her little tummy. Today's meal was plain porridge, bland and tasteless, and she wasn't full.

He beckoned to Yun Shuyue with his chubby little finger: "Pinky promise."

Anyone who doesn't give Chuchu cookies is a bad person.

Yun Shuyue nodded haphazardly: "Yes, yes, why would I lie to a child!"

It must be said that Yun Shuyue has mastered the correct way to use Qiuqiu.

Chiu Chiu was placed among a pile of books, and no one knew how painful this was for Chiu Chiu, who hated studying.

[Books? Chuchu hates them the most! Cookies, Chuchu can try some soon! Lalala!]

Su Junyao met the strange looks from Yun Shuyue and Su Gui and said calmly, "Our Qiuqiu just doesn't like reading."

Yun Shuyue gave an awkward laugh: "Um... as long as the child is happy."

Su Gui lied to himself and said, "It's nothing, I don't like reading either."

Su Junyao: “…”

These people shouldn't be spoiled too much!

All of Qiuqiu's motivation now comes from the promises her older cousin makes. She diligently crawls around in the books, carefully picking out the ones that catch her eye.

Actually, you can't blame her; it's mainly because she can't read!

Finally, after going through all the booklets, she managed to pick out three booklets with yellowed pages.

She plopped down on the booklet and gestured to her cousin that she wanted to exchange it.

Yun Shuyue chuckled, a hint of lewdness appearing on her bright face. She tossed Qiuqiu back into Su Gui's arms, saying, "You'll have to pay for it!"

Completely speechless, the clueless Qiuqiu tried to snatch the booklet, but Yun Shuyue and Su Junyao had already turned and left. "We'll clean up here later, you two go sunbathe first!"

The three booklets contain several items. One is a list of the locations where the Shao family sells their longevity ointment, many of which are well-known shops. Presumably, these shops still exist after all these years. Another booklet is the Shao family genealogy. The last booklet appears to be a roster, but the handwriting is so blurred that it requires a specialist to restore it.

You can tell if someone's good or bad just by looking at Chiu Chiu!

Yun Shuyue volunteered to deliver the booklet to Su Jinze and the others at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and went out when no one was around.

Thanks to his dream experience, Gao Wenyan led his men to surround and ambush the remnants of the previous dynasty, while Su Jinze had already successfully located the Bai family's hideout. Gao Xun led his troops in a night raid, catching them completely off guard, and all the rebels who had been entrenched in the deepest part of the southwest the previous night were captured.

Meanwhile, the Shao family had received word of Shao Fangyu's disappearance, and when Gao Wenyan led his men there, Shao Xin was preparing to destroy the evidence.

"Men, seize Shao Xin and all his accomplices!"

Shao Xin and Su Gui shared a slight resemblance in their features; they were half-brothers. However, that same wild energy seemed familiar to Su Jinze.

Shao Xin roughly knew he had reached a dead end. For the past six months, his men outside the city had been secretly eliminated. He hadn't left Yun City, so he had lost contact with many of his subordinates.

When the day finally arrived, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. "Did Su Gui send you?"

"No wonder he's that woman's child, he survived like that!" Shao Xin's face was gloomy, as sinister as a snake whose fangs had been pulled out. "I should have told my father to strangle him back then. But he actually fell in love with that woman!"

"Then what about my mother! What is my mother anyway!" Shao Xin suddenly went berserk and lunged at Su Jinze, "You're still alive!"

Su Jinze knew he had mistaken him for someone else and was about to draw his gun when he saw Shao Xin retreat in a disheveled state. "No, no, no, you're already dead. Dead!"

"Hahahaha, I destroyed what you cared about most! I ruined the Shao family's century-old plan, and I killed that woman!"

"Father, did you see that? Everything you care about, I will take... Ah!"

Shao Xinfei flew half a zhang away before crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Su Jinze silently withdrew his leg and explained to the surprised Gao Wenyan, "We members of the Su family are quite protective of our own."

Gao Wenyan: "Well done!"

I just feel like I'm going to get beaten up a lot in the future!
