A few minutes later, the mountain collapsed with a loud crash.
Even the group that was moving away from the secret passage and relocating felt the shaking beneath their feet.
"Boss, do you think we've been spotted by the guards?"
"No, otherwise it wouldn't have been so quiet these past two days."
"Luckily we only stay here at night, otherwise we would be in big trouble if we got caught."
"Ha, how could that be! We have so many people, while they only have five, and they're all cowards. Maybe we'll scare them to death as soon as we set up our stance."
This leader had never dealt with the elite guards before and assumed that those who went out on missions were all incompetent fakes like Hara Kazuki.
"That's right. A dark, windy, snowy night, in the middle of nowhere! Perfect for us to do something naughty. It's just a pity about those caves; such well-hidden places are hard to find now."
"Alright, let's hurry back to base camp. The snow has stopped, so the power should be restored in a few days. Once the cameras restart, we'll have to be careful with our business."
"Yes, it's all thanks to the boss's skill in seizing the opportunity to expand the business so much. We brothers are just incredibly lucky to be able to live such a good life under your guidance."
That flattery was so effective, it was truly pleasing to the eye and body.
The eldest brother was very proud and said with a smile, "Hehe, our big boss is really capable. He not only found a way in, but also brought that idiot from the Qi family in. With that simpleton as a shield, our business is in the bag!"
"Yeah, yeah, our boss is really capable!"
*********
Yuan Jiaxin explained the whole story and then waited for Wen Chaohui to judge her.
Wen Chaohui sighed and waved his hand: "Alright, go out. The police will explain things to you."
Although the tragedy was caused by Yuan Jiasi's greed, it was a moral issue and did not involve the law. In fact, all five members of his family were victims.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiaxin burst into tears, crying with unbearable grief.
Wen Chaohui waited quietly to the side. After she had cried enough, he patted Yuan Jiaxin on the shoulder and said, "The future is long, look forward."
Shen Yanming returned home at 3:30 a.m. Opening the door and feeling the warmth of the room, he finally felt a sense of belonging.
He moved quietly, took off his coat and hung it by the door, preparing to go to the bathroom for a hot shower.
As soon as I opened the door, I remembered that if I used water, I might wake my wife, so I prepared to go into the space.
But as soon as he let go of the doorknob, he heard a hoarse voice ask, "Who is it?"
"Wife, it's me!"
Bi Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the two babies in her arms, gently got out of bed, walked out of the room, looked at Shen Yanming who looked haggard, and asked with some sadness, "How did you get yourself into this state?"
"I've been following everyone around to investigate the suspects' hideouts, and I haven't had much rest for several days in a row."
Bi Qiaoan felt sorry for him and wanted to go forward and touch his face. But Shen Yanming held her hand: "You haven't washed up for several days, you're very dirty. Let me wash up first, then we can get closer."
Bi Qiaoan didn't care about Shen Yanming's lewd words and pushed him into the bathroom: "Go in and wash up! Oh no, go there instead, soak in the bathtub and use some spiritual spring water."
Shen Yanming nodded: "Okay!"
Bi Qiaoan took him into the mobile villa, along with the two babies. When she went in herself, she appeared near the light screen.
Bi Qiaoan rode her electric scooter back to the mobile villa, only to find Shen Yanming already taking a bath in the bathroom.
She went to the kitchen to cook, thinking that her husband might not have eaten properly for several days, so she cooked a pot of millet porridge and stir-fried some vegetables.
After everything was ready, Shen Yanming still hadn't come out. Bi Qiaoan knocked on the bathroom door, but there was no response.
"Husband?" Bi Qiaoan opened the door and found Shen Yanming asleep against the bathtub.
She touched the water in the bathtub; it was already cold. She nudged Shen Yanming: "Wake up, it's time to eat."
Shen Yanming opened his eyes, feeling somewhat tired, but still got up with Bi Qiaoan's help, dried himself off, and wrapped himself in a bathrobe.
We went to the restaurant, and the aroma of the food made my stomach rumble.
He grabbed two steamed buns from the storage area to eat with him. Although he didn't exactly wolf them down, it made it seem like he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
"Wait a minute, aren't you allowed to eat out?"
While eating, Shen Yanming said, "Yes, but I have to follow the mission. Once something is discovered, I have to follow up. I can only eat about one meal a day, and even then, I'm only half full. There are always people around me, so I can't sneak a bite."
Bi Qiaoan wiped his mouth with a tissue. "You've really worked hard. Look how thin you've become. In just one week, you've become a skeleton."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's alright. Our family's food is so good, we'll definitely make up for it in a few days."
Bi Qiaoan stopped talking and told Shen Yanming to eat in peace. After he finished eating, she told him what she knew.
"The specifics are still under review. I've only heard this much from Wen Mengguan."
"Hmm, thinking about it, it's really not good to be greedy. If Yuan Jiasi hadn't had such thoughts, his family of five wouldn't have perished at all."
"Captain Li always felt that he was the one who had harmed them. If he had made things clear that day, Yuan Jiasi would not have sneaked into Sigou Village at night."
"Everyone has their own destiny. Just like Yu Shui and Chen Qing, they didn't know that, but they still weren't blinded by the treasure, were they?"
"In fact, it was because of their family of five that this major case came to light; otherwise, who knows how many more young girls would have been murdered."
Honey, I don't regret letting you participate in the morning training at all now. If they had even a little bit of skill, they probably wouldn't have been dragged into that... you know.
Bi Qiaoan sighed, "People who are used to comfort are not willing to suffer! If I hadn't had an extra lifetime of experience, I might have also numbed myself, thinking that with the Alliance and the Guard, I could survive as long as I obeyed the law."
“Honey, let’s go back to the space to sleep every night from now on. I’m scared after this chase. You have no idea how worried I was when I saw them having their left hands cut off one by one, that I might not be by your side one day and you would face the same danger.”
Don't worry about the two kids finding out the secret of the space. They're our children, and I trust their character. Besides, they live together every day; if we take food from the space, the secret will be discovered sooner or later.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Okay, I'll practice martial arts with you every day from now on. When the two kids are a little older, I'll let them learn kung fu too."
"good!"
After cleaning up the kitchen and washing the dishes, Bi Qiaoan accompanied Shen Yanming back to the bedroom.
Comrade Shen was really exhausted this time. He didn't even think about those strange things and just fell asleep holding his wife.
He slept soundly, feeling a sense of peace he had never known before.
