The next morning, An Moxue completed the discharge procedures for the fake Yang Yuning and slipped fifty yuan to the kind nurse, saying, "I'm leaving now. I don't have time to buy anything, thank you everyone. I'll need your help this time, especially your friend and the doctor on duty last night." An Moxue winked playfully at her, emphasizing the word "doctor."

Hearing this, the nurse's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "Comrade An, can I ask you a secret? About last night."

An Moxue smiled, her attitude unusually friendly, and said, "No! A secret is a secret because it cannot be known by too many people, nor can it be spoken aloud. However, it doesn't stop us from guessing in our hearts, does it?"

The nurse's initially low spirits lifted after hearing An Moxue's words, and she said excitedly, "Comrade An, don't worry, I understand."

"Goodbye." After saying this, An Moxue smiled and said goodbye to the nurse before leaving the hospital.

The group resumed their journey, boarding the train. The fake Yang Yuning sat on his berth, muttering to himself, "Ugh, no human rights! My injuries haven't even healed yet! And we're already on the road again." He then realized his words were easily misunderstood and quite unlucky, so he quickly spat three times on the ground, saying to himself, "Don't blame me, don't blame me, it was unintentional, it doesn't count, it doesn't count. I want to live to eighty-eight, ninety-nine, preferably over one hundred and twenty-nine."

An Moxue sat opposite him, suppressing a laugh, and asked Wu Sicheng without any hesitation, "She talks so much, and she's a bit eccentric, do her family know?"

Wu Sicheng actually thought about it seriously for a moment, and said in a serious tone, "Although we've known each other for many years and are quite familiar, we've worked in different places over the years. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with him. However, after I get off at the next stop, I need to call his family and explain the situation. Early detection and early treatment are always good, right? What do you think?"

An Moxue's eyes betrayed a hint of mockery as she said, "Indeed, this needs to be taken seriously."

The fake Yang Yuning retorted defiantly, "Alright! You two, stop bullying me just because you outnumber me. Be careful, or I'll complain too. I'm injured, and I'm still bruised!" As he spoke, he raised his injured arm, making himself grimace.

Wu Sicheng said arrogantly, "What a disgrace! You want to brag about it as a glorious deed? Aren't you afraid of getting whipped by your father?"

The fake Yang Yuning thought about how his father could do it, and realized it was actually possible. Then, he said dejectedly, "Fine, you guys are good. You'll never need me again. But from now on, you two must protect me well, or I won't let you get away with it." After saying that, he closed his eyes angrily.

Nothing happened on the train this time, as if everyone had disappeared. The group got off the train smoothly and arrived at Yang Yuning's hometown.

The Yang family is a prominent family here, but Yang Yuning is the only one left in his father's branch. He has been abroad for many years and has also been caught up in the turmoil of those ten years. He has long lost contact with his hometown people, and they have unilaterally severed ties with him in order to protect themselves. The only reason he came back was because this place holds his childhood memories and the remains of his parents whom he was unable to see one last time.

Therefore, in order to avoid any complications, An Moxue and the others did not contact anyone upon their return this time.

The group quietly moved into the Yang family's old house in the county town, but other members of the Yang family who were always keeping an eye on the house found out.

They had always wanted this house, but they didn't dare to for many years; they were too busy trying to survive!

But recently they heard that the house had been returned to the Yang family. However, none of them received any notification. When they went to the county government to inquire, they learned that the Yang family's son had returned and the house had been returned to him. Their minds started to wander again.

Yang Yuning, that unfilial son, never returned from his parents' deaths. Their remains are still buried in the ancestral graveyard! It's only right that they come to him for offerings and benefits, and he should have asked for them without them even having to say it.

Therefore, they are keeping a close eye on the Yang family's old house!

The moment An Moxue and her group entered the house, the Yang family found out.

However, before they could even go to find him, a strange man arrived. He found Yang Yuning's cousin, closed the door, and talked mysteriously for a long time inside the house.

After the man left, Yang Yuning's cousin, Yang Xin, changed his attitude and said to the clansmen and family members in front of him, "The man who came earlier said that Yuning is quite remarkable now, apparently doing some kind of research. He told me to treat him well, saying that if we get along well, there will be many benefits in the future! I thought about it and realized he's right. After all, we're family, and we're all the same family. As for the house, if he's doing research all year round and doesn't have time to come back, it'll still be up to us to manage. We'll decide how to allocate it then. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense. If they could also gain some benefits without having to turn against him, wouldn't that be even better? They might be able to get even more benefits from him in the future, so they all agreed to his proposal.

Just as An Moxue and the others were discussing how long they should stay, someone knocked on the gate of the Yang family's old residence.

They exchanged glances, and then the group quickly disappeared, leaving only the fake Yang Yuning and An Moxue, along with four bodyguards who were out in the open.

So when one of the soldiers opened the door, Yang Xin looked around suspiciously. After confirming that he was right, he asked uncertainly, "Comrade, wasn't this house returned to the Yang family by the government? What are you doing here? Where is Yang Yuning?"

The soldier didn't answer his question, but instead asked suspiciously, "Who are you? How do you know so much?"

Hearing this, Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am Yang Yuning's cousin. I heard that he was back, so I kept an eye on this house, hoping to see him when he returned. Today I found that the gate was unlocked, so I came to ask about it."

When the soldier received this mission, he thoroughly investigated the people and things related to Yang Yuning, otherwise he would have been fooled by this seemingly sincere but actually deceptive person. Remembering An Moxue's instructions, he stepped aside and said, "Come in! Mr. Yang has returned, and I am responsible for protecting him."

At this moment, Yang Xin was uncertain again after hearing what the soldier said. This person who was being protected by the state must be very powerful, right?

Does he really want to do that?

His uncertainty only became clearer when he met the fake Yang Yuning and the people protecting him. However, the thought of such a large sum of money made him waver again!

That's more money than he could ever earn in his entire life. Should he really give it up?
