Chen Hong: "I don't know. I was listening in the yard, and there should be at least two people talking!"
I don't know if there were any women involved, but the voices were those of two men.
High? I don't know either, it was pitch black outside and the light was poor, I couldn't see clearly!
I heard noises outside, but I was too scared to open the door. So I threatened them by saying that I had called the police and summoned help, and they ran away.
I was afraid they hadn't really run away, but were hiding somewhere to trick me into opening the door, so I moved a ladder and climbed over the wall to look.
Finding no one outside, he jumped out to investigate. "Hou Lin, how did you realize something was wrong?"
“I get up every hour at night to check the surveillance footage. Tonight, after I had been asleep for a while, I found that the camera on the back wall of the villa was not working, and I felt something was wrong.”
After saying this, Hou Lin suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked up at the wall and asked Chen Hong in shock, "You just said that you didn't go through the door, but jumped out from the wall?"
Chen Hong followed his gaze and looked at the courtyard wall, thinking: She shouldn't have left any clues, right?
"Yes! I climbed up the wall with a ladder and jumped down. Is there a problem with that?"
Hou Lin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on for Zhou Yi: What kind of bizarre wife did Zhou Yi find? Any other problems? No, these are huge problems!
Hou Lin pointed to the three-meter-high courtyard wall and asked Chen Hong, "This wall is three meters high, and it was pitch black. You just jumped down like that?"
Chen Hong was baffled by his question. "Yes! What if I don't jump? I'm afraid that if I open the door, there might be someone lying in ambush outside who might sneak into the house in the chaos and scare the elderly and children."
"What else can we do? You dare to jump over such a high wall? Are you sure you weren't a firefighter before? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt? You're being too reckless."
You're incredibly brave! Why didn't you call for help first? You're a woman, and you dared to confront a bad guy alone late at night. Aren't you afraid of getting into danger?
What can I say about you? You're so capable, does Zhou Yi even know about you?
Hou Lin gently touched his forehead, feeling utterly powerless!
He couldn't help but feel a headache for Zhou Yi; having such a capable wife, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Chen Hong waved her hand dismissively, "This courtyard wall isn't that high. I could jump over this high dike every day when I was just over ten years old."
Even if someone were a meter or more taller, it would be a piece of cake for me, especially since the ground outside the yard is soft mud, not hard cement.
Don't worry, it's nothing! Just don't tell Zhou Yi about what happened tonight.
You know, I don't want him to worry about the family. His job is dangerous; a moment's inattention could lead to an accident. Besides, he can't help with family matters anyway, so I won't tell him and make him anxious.
Oh, right, Hou Lin, I was in such a rush that I forgot to bring my phone. Did you bring your phone?
Should we call the police today? Look at the tools these bad guys have prepared, they're quite professional.
If it weren't for the black tiger and glasses that warn us, and the fact that we have surveillance cameras, these guys would have dug through the wall right away.
If these people really get into the yard, who knows what might happen!
Fearing that Hou Lin would drag her into this whole "jumping over the wall" thing, Chen Hong quickly changed the subject.
Hou Lin also saw through Chen Hong's little scheme, but since the two didn't usually have much contact and he didn't know much about Chen Hong's personality, he didn't want to overstep his bounds and teach her a lesson on behalf of Zhou Yi.
He secretly made a mental note of it, realizing he needed to pay more attention to security at home. To be honest, he had become somewhat lax since leaving the military.
I never imagined that there would be a gang of thieves in this remote fishing village.
“I have my phone with me. Should I call the police now? We haven’t suffered any losses. I’m just worried that the police station won’t take it seriously. It’s already midnight, and the police station might not be able to respond tonight.”
Please stand over here, let's protect the scene first, so that the police can investigate when they arrive.
Based on the tools left at the scene, this group of people are definitely habitual offenders who commit crimes as a group. It is just unknown whether they are itinerant criminals from out of town or a local theft gang.
If they are fugitives from other places, that's fine; once we find them and apprehend them, they won't come back.
The fear is that it might be a theft gang from one of the nearby villages. They might have their eye on them, and since they failed this time, they could go into hiding and wait for another opportunity to strike.
Chen Hong said with a puzzled look, "In all these years, I haven't heard of any theft gangs in the vicinity."
I think it's more likely a case of itinerant criminals. But why would they target my house?
Could it be that the seventy or eighty thousand yuan I made selling fish at the dock today attracted the attention of bad people?
Oh dear, having more outsiders in this village has its advantages and disadvantages. With so many people, there's bound to be a lot of gossip, and all sorts of things can happen.
I need to talk to the villagers tomorrow and tell them to try not to talk about village matters with outsiders in the future, because if it falls into their ears, it could become a problem.
Alright, we've called the police, let's all go home and rest! Just be more careful next time. I have to go out to sea tomorrow!
I promised Manager Zhang of the Dragon Palace Hotel that I would have to go and catch sea cucumbers and geoduck clams for him!
Hou Lin, judging from the situation, we need to strengthen our security measures. We can't rely on you to take the night shift alone!
If you don't get enough rest in the long run, you'll ruin your health. Here's what we'll do: try to find two more retired comrades.
In the future, the marine aquaculture farm will also need someone to guard it at night, because if there are not enough people, it will be impossible to keep an eye on everything.
Your salary will remain at your current level. When the new recruit arrives and becomes your supervisor, your salary will increase by one thousand yuan.
After making the call to the police, the two headed towards the front door. As expected, the police station was short-staffed and would not send anyone to investigate the scene until the next workday.
Chen Hong instructed Hou Lin that he should receive the police officers when they arrived. She had promised Manager Zhang that she would be going out to sea before dawn and would be back around noon. If she was needed to appear, they should wait until she returned.
Chen Hong entered the yard through the front door, first went to the backyard to move the wooden ladder back to the storage room, then washed the acorn hammer clean and threw it back into the house.
It was 2:30 a.m. when I got back to my room.
Chen Hong first went into the room from the bathroom and checked that the four thugs were still unconscious.
She couldn't help but admire her own foresight. When she was collecting living people into the space earlier, she was afraid of polluting the land, so she put the four people into two large breeding boxes.
The third child's head was broken, and a lot of blood gushed out, all of which flowed into the breeding box, without a single drop splashing onto the ground.
Fearing they would wake up and wreak havoc on her space, Chen Hong found some nylon ropes used for mending fishing nets, aligned their limbs, and tied them together.
To prevent them from shouting after waking up, Chen Hong also wrapped their mouths with plastic tape several times.
Whether their noses were blocked or not, whether they died now or tomorrow, it made little difference to them.
From the moment Chen Hong took them into her space, she never intended for them to live again.
They're doomed if they mess with her!
Chen Hong believed that if she didn't have the ability to protect herself and fell into the hands of these thugs, her fate would be worse than death.
In this society, sometimes it's all about who has the most ruthless heart!
