Lin Xi remained motionless. "I came to the Jiang family specifically so I won't leave so easily. If you have something to say, I'll eliminate the bad guys in the name of the moon."

The woman gave a mocking laugh. "You?"

"Little sister, hurry up and leave, or you'll end up like me, locked in a cage with wild beasts, or even..."

She shook her head and said nothing more.

No matter how Lin Xi called out, the woman did not respond.

Beep beep beep—!

The piercing alarm blared throughout the villa, and the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the distance.

Lin Xi glanced at the time, skillfully climbed over the wall, and decided to come back tomorrow night.

Upon seeing her return safely, Jiang Ji immediately asked, "Sister, are you alright?"

Jiang Chi kept a close eye on his surroundings. "Oh no! Grandpa's found us! Let's go home!"

He took two ping-pong ball-sized objects out of his pocket and threw them inside the wall.

In an instant, smoke billowed up.

Jiang Ji was surprised, "You carry smoke bombs with you at all times."

"I'm an inventor, it's normal for me to have small inventions." Jiang Chi put his hands in his pockets and walked forward with his back bent.

"Stay close to me and take the back path."

The journey was smooth, and the three of them soon arrived at Dongyuan.

Jiang Chi pushed himself up with both hands and jumped into the wall.

Lin Xi threw her good-for-nothing second brother inside first, then climbed over the wall.

Jiang Ji rubbed his bottom. "The light in my brother's room is off. He must be asleep."

"I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

"Want to grab a late-night snack before going upstairs to sleep? I can't sleep on an empty stomach..."

Suddenly, everything went quiet, and Jiang Ji felt a chill run down his spine.

He slowly turned his stiff neck, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"Holy crap! Bro!!"

Jiang Ting stood at the door, his expression as cold as ever, his tone completely flat.

"Ha! You finally decided to come back?"
