Xu Yi followed the guards from one end of the street to the other. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to return to the guard's residence first.
The group had just turned around and taken a few steps when they heard a commotion ahead.
Some people were even shouting, "Thief! Thief!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi and the others immediately ran over. The person shouting "Stop thief!" was a woman, and at first glance, Xu Yi felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
But he didn't have time to think about it, because he saw a figure fleeing in panic.
The man was carrying a bundle in his hand, and he was running wildly.

Xu Yi gathered his breath and chased after him. The street was crowded with stalls and people.
Then the two of them were too far apart, and Xu Yi was worried that if he wasn't paying attention, the other person would get away.
So he picked up a straw hat from a nearby stall and threw it at the man.
With just the right amount of force, the straw hat struck the man on the back of the neck, and Xu Yi rushed over while he was in pain.
The thief turned around and saw that it wasn't a government official.
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." As he spoke, he assumed a fighting stance.
Xu Yi didn't say much and made his move directly. This little thief had some martial arts skills, but he was nothing in front of Xu Yi.
Xu Yi quickly subdued the man and took the thief by the arm as he walked away.
He was still shouting resentfully, "Why the hell are you meddling in my business? I didn't steal anything from you."
"Let me go, let me go, I'm telling you, you're dead."

He came shouting all the way until he saw the guards.
If he fell into the hands of this group, he would surely be jailed for several months. The thief put all his strength into trying to break free from Xu Yi's grasp.
But Xu Yi's hand was like an iron chain, tightly binding him, making it impossible for him to move.
When the guards saw Xu Yi bringing the man over, they quickly went to take him over. The thief was tied up tightly with rope.
"Is this what you lost?" Xu Yi was carrying a bundle in his hand, and judging from its color, it looked like something a young woman would use.
"Yes, it's ours." The woman who had just spoken quickly took the item and turned around to say.
"Miss, that's wonderful! Our things have been found."
The young lady she was referring to was actually Huang Yiyi, whom Xu Yi had met once before.
She had just told the two guards next to her that Xu Yi was actually a commander when he went to catch the thief.
She said that when she first saw Xu Yi at the entrance of Fu Kee Restaurant, she felt that he was an extraordinary person.

She never expected that he would become a military officer; this news was incredibly good news for her.
She moved over lightly, saying, "This humble woman thanks you for your help, General Qianzong."
"If it weren't for Commander Qian's help, the thieves would have stolen the goods." After saying that, she looked up at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi simply nodded and said in a businesslike manner, "Check if anything is missing."
This thief is probably a regular street thief; the guards have already found quite a few people's money bags on him.
Now we're just waiting for everyone to come and claim them.
Xu Yi's indifferent attitude displeased Huang Yiyi. She was considered one of the most beautiful women in Lanzhen, yet this man didn't even glance at her.
Seeing Xu Yi turn around and help claim the money bag after he finished speaking, Huang Yiyi snorted.
"Let's go." She was a proud and arrogant person, and since this man had ignored her, she naturally wouldn't say another word to him.
"Miss, I didn't expect that person to be the captain of the guard. He looks really impressive."

After getting into the carriage, the maidservant started chattering in Huang Yiyi's ear again.
She suddenly remembered something, "Oh no, I was talking loudly to someone at the entrance of the study the other day."
Huang Yiyi lifted the curtain and glanced at Xu Yi's figure, which gradually faded from her sight.
"It's alright."
That man didn't even remember her, so how could he remember such a trivial matter?
"Miss, shall we go straight back to the manor?" The two had come out for a stroll, but encountering a petty thief had spoiled their enjoyment.
The carriage is now heading towards the Huang residence. Huang Yiyi rested her head on her hand and leaned against the carriage window, pondering for a moment.
"Let's go to Fu Kee first."
Actually, she regretted it as soon as she got on the carriage, but since she couldn't get on, she turned back.
After thinking it over, she decided to go to Fook Kee first.

When she arrived at Fu Ji, she asked around and found out that Fu Man'er hadn't come.
"When will your boss come to the shop?" After all, Fu Man'er was his sister, so he knew more about the situation from her.
"I'm not sure about that. Our boss comes to the store at unpredictable times."
Fu Man'er is quite easygoing, and there are reliable people looking after the shop, so she often comes to read books in her spare time.
In addition, she has opened a new store, and she sometimes goes there, so the timing is really unpredictable.
Huang Yiyi furrowed her brow slightly. "Do you know your boss's brother?"
The person who was called in to serve her didn't come out for quite a while, and when she did, she had a few taels of silver in her pocket.
Not long after, Huang Yiyi led her maid out.
It turns out that the famous Fumanlou restaurant is actually owned by Xu Yi's family. This Xu Yi really surprised her.
"Miss, you've forgotten, Madam said a while ago that she wanted to have dinner with people from the Xu family," the maid said.
This novel was first published on: [website name - likely a website address].
Huang Yiyi thought for a while, but really couldn't recall anything. "I'll ask my mother when I get back."
When Madam Huang heard her daughter ask about the Xu family, she didn't pay much attention at first, but when she heard about the young master of the Xu family, she immediately perked up.
She looked her daughter up and down for a moment, then asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Mother," Huang Yiyi said, clinging to her mother's arm, "I ran into you on the road today, and I just wanted to ask you something."
Madam Huang, being an experienced woman, immediately understood her daughter's expression; she knew she must be experiencing the stirrings of first love.
The daughter was beautiful from a young age, and since she was their only daughter, the Huang family put a lot of effort into raising her.
Having such a daughter is something she is very proud of, but as her daughter grows up, worries also arise.
The Huang family owns some properties, and since they only have one daughter, these properties will definitely be handed over to her.
Therefore, the two elders put a lot of effort into Huang Yiyi's choice of a husband.
So many talented young men were screened for Huang Yiyi, but none of them were worthy of her attention.
口口五六三七四三六七五
Madam Huang has said more than once that her daughter's standards are too high, and how she will find a husband in the future.
"It's rare to find someone you can pay attention to; at least I feel at ease now."
While feeling reassured, she couldn't help but worry, "Although the Xu family's restaurant business is doing extremely well, as far as I know, they come from the village."
Such people may get lucky and make some money, but they are still far behind those from other families in every aspect.
The Huang family is already wealthy, and now they don't seek a suitable match; they only wish for their daughter to live a happier life.
Therefore, the men we've been considering recently are all slightly inferior to the Huang family in terms of family background and wealth.
This way, their daughter wouldn't be bullied after marriage. But even so, the couple chose men from the town.
She knew Huang Yiyi's temper, and was afraid that those peasants from the countryside wouldn't be good enough for her.
Huang Yiyi's mind flashed back to Xu Yi's image. "Mother, you've never met Xu Yi. He's different from the other people in the village."
Without exaggeration, she even thought Xu Yi was better than many of the rich young men in town.

He was exceptionally good-looking, held a minor official position, and his family had some wealth.
"Oh right, Mother, Xu Yi is also a captain in the garrison." Huang Yiyi suddenly remembered this.
"Really?" Madam Huang raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, Madam." Huang Yiyi's maidservant quickly recounted what had happened on the street that day.
Hearing this, Madam Huang's eyelids twitched. "My dear daughter, that thief didn't hurt you, did he?"
She only has one precious daughter, so hurting Huang Yiyi is more painful than hurting her.
"Mother, I'm fine." The bundle was with the maid at the time. The Huang family was wealthy, so they thought it was fine to just throw it away.
Unexpectedly, not only did the items return, but she also found an excellent marriage prospect.
"Since they helped you find your things, we should thank them."
Madam Huang pondered for a moment, and then she roughly understood what was going on.
