“…”
The owners’ chat records continued until late at night, which shows that this incident has dropped a bomb in the hearts of all the owners.
Xia Shige exited the group message, opened the online shopping platform where he had bought Wu Li before, and began to look for Wu Li.
There are more and more weapons for sale on this platform. Recently, many powerful crossbows, compound bows and other powerful cold weapons have been newly launched. Unfortunately, Xia Shige has not found anyone to sell guns.
Xia Shige placed an order for several more powerful crossbows and also bought several compound bows equipped with optical sights.
After placing these orders, she saw a small hunting falcon that claimed to be an "exclusively improved version with super power". It looked to be the size of a pistol and could be carried with you, so Xia Shige also bought a few.
She planned to teach her family how to use these weapons, so that if they were really in danger, they would have a better chance of survival.
Xia Shige had no idea who the two people who broke the villa's surveillance camera were yesterday. Was it Han Yu'an, whom he had driven away before? Or was it his second uncle's family, who he had embarrassed? Or were they just two thieves who passed by and wanted to take advantage of the situation?
Another possibility is the Lu family.
Xia Shige calculated the time and realized that the liquidation of the state's assets should have been completed. Without the Song family's investment in this life, the Lu family would be even worse off than in the previous life. Could it be that they were unwilling to give up and came to him to fight to the death?

Lu family villa.
Xu Yilan was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for the next day.
She seldom cooks in these years, and only goes to the kitchen to try new recipes when she is in a good mood.
But after the liquidation a while ago, the Lu family is now almost penniless. All the properties under the name of the family have been confiscated, leaving only the villa where the Lu family lives.
Even Lu Sixue, who was already married, could not escape. All the dowry that Xu Yilan gave her was confiscated.
Everything in the Lu family villa was emptied out, including Lu Bo's antiques and collections, Xu Yilan's dresses, bags, and jewelry, Lu Siqi's collection of cufflinks, watches, and red wine, and even the action figures and sneakers bought by Lu Siyuan, were all confiscated.
Well, Xu Yilan secretly hid some gold ornaments some time ago. They were the small gold bracelets and locks given to her by her poor relatives when she gave birth to her three children at the full-month banquet.
In the past, Xu Yilan never looked down on these things. If she hadn't been afraid of bringing bad luck by losing the gifts for her child's full-month banquet, she would have thrown away these shabby things long ago. But now, these things indirectly saved the lives of a family.
After she sold the gold jewelry, she transferred the money to a trusted younger sister. The younger sister was reliable, and after the Lu family was liquidated, she transferred the money back to Mrs. Lu. Otherwise, now the Lu family really has to live on sand vine cakes.
The current Lu family relies entirely on the little private money saved by Xu Yilan to make ends meet, and everyone has to tighten their belts. They have since dismissed the few remaining nannies and bodyguards, so Xu Yilan can only cook for herself.
She had been watching cooking tutorials on the Internet these days, and after a few days of hard work, she finally managed to make something edible.
Xu Yilan brought dinner to the table and sighed softly.
Lu Siyuan walked out of the room and looked at the rice porridge, canned luncheon meat slices, potato salad, and sweet potato cakes on the table. His brows were furrowed so much that they could kill a fly.
"Mom! Can you at least make a decent dish? We had beef yesterday. Why are we eating these today? I don't like any of these!"
In the past, oysters, lobsters, bird's nests and shark's fins were indispensable on the Lu family's dining table. Even after the high temperature and drought, there were still fish and meat. Now, if Lu Siyuan was asked to eat these, he couldn't eat them at all.
Xu Yilan glared at him and said, "You kid! If you eat beef every day, you will only be able to eat sand rattan cakes tomorrow. I only have a few hundred thousand yuan left. If our family has no more income, you won't even be able to eat these in a while!"
Lu Siyuan didn't say anything after hearing this, he just lowered his head silently. He was just a student who hadn't graduated yet, and he really couldn't help his family with making money.
Seeing him like this, Xu Yilan didn't have the heart to say anything more. She went to the balcony and called Lu Sixue back: "Sixue, can you send some money home?"
