Those who didn't have time to hide in Yunqixuan started screaming again.
Ren Yaoqi had heard of this before. Some thieves and spies would cover their faces when operating at night. Ren Yaoqi figured that if this was done to prevent recognition, then either the two parties were strangers, or the thieves were simply too ordinary, with no distinctive features at all, to be recognized even without the mask.
Obviously, the thief in front of him did not meet either of the two conditions, so Ren Yaoqi recognized him as an acquaintance at a glance.
Ren Yaoqi didn't know why she had the time to think about this at this moment. Perhaps it was because Leshan Leshui and Shanu were around that she felt less scared, or maybe it was because the situation before her was so absurd that she felt powerless and helpless even to face it.
The guards at the hot spring villa reacted quickly and arrived before the men in black could get close to them.
"Who are you?" The guard was surprised to see the man in black standing there without speaking or moving, and not looking like he was going to attack anyone, so he shouted.
At this moment, someone exclaimed and stammered, "Yun, Yun, Second Young Master Yun..."
Some admired the Yun family's eldest son's gentle, jade-like demeanor, while others naturally admired the Yun family's second son's handsome, romantic, and uninhibited demeanor. Many of the ladies in Yunyang City considered Yun Wenfang their dream lover, and many of them paid him attention, both openly and covertly. The young lady who recognized the masked second son of the Yun family was one of them.
At this time, the guards also reacted and looked at the man in black in confusion.
The man in black sneered as he thought of something, then raised his hand to tear off the mask on his face, revealing his handsome face with slender eyebrows and starry eyes.
Seeing Second Young Master Yun was serious, the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to ask him why he was dressed like that, a voice spoke before them: "Second Brother? Why are you here? What's with your attire?"
Not far away, Yun Qiuchen, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, and Su Qiuchen, the eldest daughter of the Su family, hurried over.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wenfang looked towards Yun Qiuchen, his pair of starry eyes dark and bottomless, and even the mocking smile on his face disappeared.
Yun Qiuchen met Yun Wenfang's eyes, then turned away as if nothing had happened. Her gaze swept over the people present before stopping at Ren Yaoqi. She glanced at the silly girl behind Ren Yaoqi and stopped five or six steps away from her: "Ms. Ren, what happened? My second brother didn't get into trouble?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Yun Qiuchen and said, "I just sent Miss Yun San and Miss Yan back home. I don't know what happened here."
At this time, there was a rustling sound in the bushes not far away. The guard who was standing nearby moved, and with lightning speed, he grabbed and pulled out a man dressed as a servant holding a bundle, and threw him to the ground.
The boy fell flat on his face, looked up tremblingly, then immediately lowered his head in fear. The bundle in his arms fell to the ground, and the silver bills and gold and silver coins were scattered all over the floor.
The guard frowned and bent down to pick up the bundle: "Did you steal this?"
The servant quickly shook his head: "No, no, no. I'm not a thief, I..."
Yun Qiuchen, who was standing by, glanced at the servant and said with a gloomy expression, "Ah Fu? Why are you here?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at Yun Qiuchen, then looked at the servant kneeling on the ground and frowned.
The guard was even more baffled when he saw that the eldest daughter of the Yun family knew this servant. However, the servant must have some hidden agenda for being so furtive with a bundle of money. He looked at everyone, then walked up to Ren Yaoqi and said, "Miss Ren, this man's behavior is suspicious. Should we take him away for questioning?"
