“Baozhu is a girl. I’ll take Li’s sister upstairs for a bit. I’ll call you if I need anything else.”

As they were talking, the guards who heard the commotion arrived and surrounded the Ruan family's house, making it impossible to get through.

Hearing that the Ruan family might be harboring thieves of unknown origin, this national treasure-like old lady insisted on personally going upstairs to catch the thief, nearly losing two of her three souls.

“Please take care of your legs, old man. Leave this work to us. Everyone here is an elder who can be Baozhu’s uncle or aunt. Your safety is the most important thing.”

In other words, if there were any indecent scenes to be seen, they were also of the older generation, and their lives were more important than their reputation.

Grandma Wang didn't persist. During the rainy season, coupled with her advanced age, her bound feet often ached, and her legs and feet were indeed not as nimble as those of young people.

“I’ll go upstairs with you,” Ruan Kangri said, taking the lead.

Just as he was about to take a step, his path was blocked by the dark muzzle of a gun, and the guard captain's face turned cold.

"Brigade Commander Ruan, it's best to stay where you are and not wander around."

By this time, the situation had completely slipped out of Ruan Kangri's control.

Ruan Baozhu, who was caught on the stairs, did not expect the fire to suddenly spread to her. When people panic, their clever minds are more likely to come up with a quick idea.

She wanted to run upstairs to her room and pretend she had just woken up and knew nothing, but she overlooked who was around.

Not to mention the veteran revolutionaries who were still going strong, even the guards were battle-hardened experts.

The moment she made a move, the captain's ears twitched, and he turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the staircase from which the noise had come.

A dark figure crouched low, stealthily making its way upstairs like a thief...

He shouted sharply, "Found him! Grab him!"
