"What happened?"
The woman next to him also woke up, somewhat panicked.
"I don't know, don't be afraid, I'll go outside and take a look!"
Su Qing comforted the woman beside him, got up from the bed, opened the door, and peeked outside.
It was bustling outside, with burly men carrying torches kicking down doors from house to house to check for any suspicious persons.
Su Qing opened the door halfway and looked outside. In the darkness, a black figure, seemingly fleeing stealthily, was rapidly approaching.
With agile movements, he crashed into the house in one go, a cold dagger pressed against Su Qing's neck: "Shut up, don't say a word, or I'll kill you!"
The woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Once her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, Su Qing saw the other person's face.
The female thief also saw the fat man in black in front of her and felt that he looked very familiar.
"It's you?"
The two looked at each other, and after a moment, the female thief realized that something seemed amiss in the room.
The woman on the bed covered her mouth, her face filled with terror. On the floor lay a man whose fate was unknown, and the fat man in black.
The scene before me doesn't seem like something that should be happening in a normal family's home.
However, the female thief didn't have time to think too much at this moment, because there were already hurried footsteps approaching from afar, and several doors nearby had been kicked open, and soon it would be this house's turn.
The female thief was filled with anxiety. If she were caught, with her current abilities, she probably wouldn't be able to escape at all.
And there's another point: she also heard the roar just now. The fat pig seems to be dead, but she definitely didn't kill it. It's just that the blame seems to have been placed on her.
Once caught, they have no way to defend themselves.
"Go to bed!"
Su Qing remained calm and showed a man's responsibility at this moment, shooing the two women onto the bed and then picking up the man from the floor and putting him on the bed.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a loud shout: "Open the door now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"They're here! They're here!"
Su Qing responded and quickly went to the door. She opened it and saw three or four burly men standing outside, looking fierce and menacing. They were holding wooden sticks, blades, and torches and were about to rush in.
Su Qing slightly stepped aside to let the two of them in.
The torches illuminated the room, and someone asked, "Who are the three people on the bed?"
Su Qing quickly explained with a smile, "The people on the bed are my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law. They're too poor to fit in."
The person who asked the question was stunned for a moment before reacting. He looked at Su Qing with a strange expression and immediately became wary: "You're acting suspiciously. Why are you wearing a black robe so late at night? Take off your black robe!"
As he spoke, two or three other people approached Su Qing.
Su Qing quickly stuffed a small object into the man's hand: "I'm ugly, and I'm afraid I'll scare you all, so let's not take off the black robe!"
The person asking the question squeezed it in their hand; it didn't feel like a gold coin, but it was cold and hard, like a wine glass.
Peeking through the torchlight, I saw that it was crystal clear glass.
He was startled and quietly put the glass away. He coughed and said, "Since that's the case, then forget it. There's nothing suspicious about your house. Let's go to the next one."
Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the group leave.
He stuffed the glass he had just secretly taken back into the basket.
Su Qing never spends money that is unnecessary.
Such precious glass, just letting him touch it would make his life worthwhile.
After everyone left, Su Qing prepared to go to bed.
The female thief stopped him, asking, "Do you have any medicine?"
The female thief asked what had happened, explaining that the wound on her lower abdomen had worsened due to the strenuous exercise and she needed immediate medical treatment.
"Yes, it exists, but you can't afford it!"
Su Qing was serious, after all, his things have always been quite expensive.
"How much?"
The female thief gritted her teeth and spoke with hatred.
"One thousand gold coins!"
Su Qing spoke very seriously and earnestly, leaving no room for negotiation.
"You're robbing me!"
The female thief was shocked; even those potions specifically for healing wounds could only sell for a maximum of 100 gold coins.
Su Qing frowned, feeling that this woman was unruly. He hadn't robbed anyone in a long time; he had long since switched to extortion.
I don't have any money!
The female thief gritted her teeth: "But I know a treasure worth far more than 1,000 gold coins. If you heal my wounds, we'll each get half of that treasure."
"good!"
Upon hearing the word "treasure," Su Qing's eyes lit up, and she agreed without hesitation.
He took a bottle of life potion from the basket. It was made by elves and is currently version 2.5. Its healing effect has been enhanced twice, and it can quickly stop bleeding, leave no scars, and cause no pain.
Moreover, the potion has a faint orchid fragrance, and it sells for as much as two hundred gold coins in Dragon Territory, while its cost is a full ten gold coins.
Ordinary people simply can't afford it!
After taking the potion, the female thief sensed a faint healing energy spreading across her lower abdomen. The intense heat brought a strong stimulating sensation, and her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
Fortunately, it was the dead of night, and no candles were lit, so no one except Su Qing could see them.
Although the life-saving potion had amazing effects, it still took at least one night to heal the wound, so Su Qing went to sleep as soon as she lay down.
That night, the whole city seemed to be in an uproar.
Chaos reigned everywhere, with menacing Wolf Head Gang members kicking down doors and grabbing people indiscriminately.
Anyone found to be suspicious, or anyone who refused to bribe them, was arrested. Several hundred people were arrested in one night.
This chaos continued until dawn the next day, but the city remained under lockdown, clearly indicating that once someone was caught, no one would be allowed to leave the city.
In the three stone fortresses in the city center, inside the middle one, a dark-skinned, thin man knelt on one knee, his eyes red-rimmed, his face filled with grief and indignation: "I was responsible for the deaths of my eldest and second brothers. If I hadn't chased after that petty thief and had stayed by my second brother's side, this would never have happened."
At the head of the table sat a burly man nearly two meters tall, with graying temples, who looked to be almost 50 years old. He had a cold look in his eyes, and the scar on his face that ran from his left eye to his chin looked particularly ferocious.
"Dare to kill our Wolf Head Gang's second-in-command? This is a provocation against us, and whoever it is will pay the price!"
The leader of the Wolf Head Gang spoke in an icy voice, clearly enraged to the extreme, and the iron ball he was toying with made a creaking sound as he squeezed it.
The dark-skinned, thin man felt a chill run down his spine and quickly agreed, but then, as if remembering something, he said with some worry, "But we've searched all night and haven't found anyone. Could they have run out of town?"
"Won't!"
The leader of the Wolf Head Gang, a man nicknamed Scarface, shook his head: "No, according to the time you mentioned, the entire city was under lockdown at that time. He couldn't have escaped silently. Continue the investigation, check every single household!"
"Third brother, you personally keep an eye on this matter for me."
