Upon seeing Xia Chunmei return, Xia Xintian and Xia Huohua quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is Chunmei?"
"Uncles, please go to Jinluo Lane and find Constable Zhang. He is a trustworthy man."
Since Du Bin has already chosen to cooperate with her, there's no reason for him to introduce someone he can't trust to Xia Chunmei.
“Xintian, go and call for help. Chunmei, I’ll go with you to rescue them. It’ll be more reassuring if we go together,” Xia Huohua said.
“That’s fine, Uncle Xintian. Be careful when you go looking for someone by yourself,” Xia Chunmei advised.
"Don't worry, if your uncle can't even handle this little thing, he'd be no good as a clan chief."
...
At this time, under the cover of darkness and high winds, it was the perfect opportunity to rob and plunder... ah, I mean, to rescue Yaomei.
These people would never have imagined that a young girl like me would dare to show up at their door in the middle of the night.
Xia Huohua was actually very scared, but Xia Chunmei had helped his whole family earn money, and he felt he had to repay that debt, so he forced himself to come despite his fear.
Xia Chunmei could see Xia Huohua's nervousness and unease. In fact, she was already very grateful that Xia Huohua had come to get involved in this mess.
If it were anyone else, they would be soundly asleep at this time of day, or perhaps enjoying some snacks and watching the show.
"Uncle, just squat down at the entrance of the alley. If reinforcements come, shout a few times."
"You plan to go in alone?" Xia Huohua asked in surprise.
"I'll go in alone and make less noise. There are eight people inside, I can handle them. Trust me, I won't go looking for my own death."
Since Xia Chunmei had said so, Xia Huohua could only let her go.
Xia Pingan floated in first to check the situation inside and found that there were many wine jars on the table in the west wing, and the eight men were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner.
Xia Ping'an was overjoyed and immediately opened the door latch, letting Xia Chunmei in: "Hey, these bastards are drunk. It's like God is helping us."
Xia Chunmei tiptoed into the east wing. Yaomei had been drugged and was fast asleep, but as soon as Xia Chunmei picked her up, she realized something was wrong...
There was another person behind the door!
Xia Ping'an was surprised to find another living person in the house and secretly blamed himself for his oversight. He cried out in panic, but no matter how loudly he shouted, no one except Xia Chunmei could hear him.
The man swiftly attacked Xia Chunmei, who dodged to the side.
The man was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xia Chunmei to have martial arts skills.
Then he made another move. Xia Chunmei was holding Yaomei, so she couldn't fight back and was afraid of disturbing his other accomplices. So she could only hide, not make too much noise, and couldn't fight back.
Xia Chunmei hurriedly grabbed Yaomei and ran outside, but the man darted in front of her in an instant. In just three moves, he snatched Yaomei away, and Xia Chunmei also received a heavy slap to the chest. It really hurt!
Damn it, my chest got flattened from being slapped!
Despite her anger and resentment, with her sister still in his hands, Xia Chunmei could only grit her teeth and plead, "Brother, sir, uncle, you're only after money. Release my sister, and I'll give you whatever you want, even if it means selling everything I own!"
The man stood frozen in place, stunned by the sound...
Seeing that the man didn't speak, Xia Chunmei continued, "Uncle, I've already reported it to the authorities. The yamen officials will be here soon, and then you won't be able to escape. You should put my sister down and leave now; it's not too late. You're just after money; there's no need to make things worse for both of us. That's not worth it, is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Huohua and Xia Xintian arrived with three government officials!
Five men surrounded the gate tightly. Xia Xintian held up a torch to illuminate the courtyard. In the firelight, Xia Chunmei finally saw the face of the man who had attacked her earlier, and was immediately horrified!
"It's you!"
