"Third brother, where's second brother?"
As darkness fell, Wen Shishi, though clearly sleepy, still couldn't bear to go to sleep...
Rubbing his eyes, he asked his third brother, Song Chengxin.
"What's wrong, missing your second brother?"
Song Chengxin changed Wen Shishi's position to hold her horizontally so that she could sleep more comfortably.
"Yes, I miss my second brother..."
My younger sister is so well-behaved it breaks my heart.
The second brother has never been patient with his younger brothers, but he treats Shishi with all his tenderness.
"Good child! Your second brother didn't spoil you for nothing!"
When your second brother comes back, he'll be very happy to know how much you miss him!
Go to sleep! When you wake up, your second and fifth brothers will be back!
Its round eyes, like a puppy's, blinked and finally closed.
Before it got completely dark, the fourth brother, Song Chengliang, returned with Jiang Xinyu, Qin Shan, and their group.
Jiang Xinyu's face was gloomy, and her expression was very unpleasant.
After taking the medicine, Jiang Chenghou felt a little better. Ignoring all advice, he didn't go to sleep and waited outside the tent.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu like this, he thanked Qin Shan and the guards for their hard work, and patted the spot next to him...
When Jiang Xinyu sat down, much of the gloom on her body dissipated instantly.
The eldest son has this ability—to influence things subtly and silently.
No matter how big the problem is, as long as he is by my side, I will feel very at ease.
The fourth brother explained the situation to his eldest brother, and they basically achieved their goal...
Song Chenghou nodded and told Song Chengliang to quickly take the guards to wash up and have something to eat.
Jiang Xinyu remained motionless beside him, while Qin Shan walked away on his own.
Sometimes, the eldest son's teachings are more effective than those of the master and the others.
"You've seen it all, but are you disappointed?"
Song Chenghou smiled faintly.
"They've gone too far!"
Jiang Xinyu's anger was reignited, and he turned to Song Chenghou, saying, "The people we painstakingly captured, we're sending them to..."
They completely ignored the voices of the people and the interests of the businesses, just giving me empty words and wasting our time!
The bandits we captured had such strange expressions on their faces when they learned that we were going to send them to Qiongzhou!
They're fearless!
That's when I understood what the eldest young master meant when he had us deliver it. He had already guessed it; they were all in cahoots, conspiring together!
Even if they understand it in their hearts, when they actually see it, they're too lazy to even put on an act. It's infuriating!
"The Jiang family is, after all, a merchant family with a reputable name. If it were someone else who went today..."
"With no one to rely on, will the fishermen and boat people, who have been kidnapped after committing crimes, be unexpectedly outmaneuvered by the same people?"
Jiang Xinyu vented his frustrations like he was pouring out beans, "No wonder the situation on Hainan Island is deadlocked. With such a bureaucracy, how can things possibly improve!"
Be careful what you say when you have some extra money.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan's expression changed, and he was about to offer a reminder when Song Chenghou spoke up, his expression serious.
Jiang Xinyu knew he shouldn't say that, but he was just observing, since only his own people and the Song family were present.
"I know you usually know how to behave, so saying this now shows you haven't considered our feelings..."
Jiang Xin patiently reassured him, "I'm reminding you now not because I'm being presumptuous, but because I'm worried..."
If you're used to saying it normally, in a crucial situation, you might accidentally...
Someone took advantage of my mistake, causing trouble for my family and myself..."
Jiang Xinyu understood his intention and spoke in the same tone as she usually did with her younger brothers.
Feeling grateful and touched, she said, "I know, brother, you did it for me. I'll be more careful in the future!"
The change in address, which Song Chenghou did not point out separately, slightly soothed Jiang Xinyu's depressed mood.
"Young Master, judging from the Prefect's words, he should be going to regulate the bandits somewhat..."
After Jiang Xinyu, Qin Shan, and their guards finished their meal, they finally succumbed to exhaustion from the journey and fell asleep in their tents.
"Brother, why don't you go inside and lie down for a while?"
"I've just recovered. My second brother and fifth brother are back. I'll go get you."
The third brother, Song Chengxin, spoke up to suggest something, while Wen Shishi, with her rosy cheeks, was already fast asleep in his arms.
Song Chenghou smiled and shook his head, "I'm not tired, I rested for a while this afternoon..."
Third brother, you've had a long day. Why don't you give me Shishi and go inside to lie down for a while?
Song Chengxin forced himself to stay awake, "Brother, I'm not tired, not sleepy at all."
I'll stay with you and keep watch, don't worry, brother!
They'll be alright.
Unbeknownst to the two, not far from them, the fishermen and their wives lying in their tents were all listening intently to the sounds coming from the sea.
Those are pirates!
They didn't just kidnap these twenty people; there were two hundred more, spanning several generations!
Except for those who managed to escape, no one came back alive!
At this moment, those who were kidnapped and those who went to rescue them have not yet returned...
How can they sleep?!
"Snoring, snoring..."
The children beside her were snoring softly, unaware of the suffering that had taken place.
