Li Xiangdong's home in Huichuan County.
Xue Ran, Xue Yuyu, and the two men entered the main courtyard without any hindrance.
There was no need to search blindly; only the three rooms in the east wing emitted a dim yellow light, while the rest of the place was pitch black.
They first tiptoed to the base of the east wing wall and carefully checked the situation inside.
As they expected, both Grandma Jiang and Doctor Gu were inside, and there was no one else there.
Xue Ran thought to himself, "Heaven is on my side!"
Then she whispered to her daughter, "Your mother's biggest wish in this life is about to come true!"
Who's outside?
Suddenly, an old woman's voice came from inside the house.
Xue Ran sneered, "That old hag has pretty good ears!"
Then, without any further pretense, he swaggered in and kicked the door open!
He thought the door was locked from the inside, so he kicked it with all his might.
To his utter surprise, the door was simply closed, not locked.
Xue Ran, having exhausted his strength, could not stop his momentum and stumbled into the house.
She did a split.
"Splash! Ouch!"
Everyone in the room was stunned.
They seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.
Xue Yuyu rushed forward to help her father. Xue Ran felt a sharp pain in the muscles of his thighs, and a layer of hot sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and slowly got up. He glanced at the two men behind him and saw their smirking expressions. Then he turned to look at Old Mrs. Jiang, who was already sitting up on the bed watching the show. He was instantly furious and embarrassed.
"Hiss~ Whoosh~"
"You old hag, what are you laughing at!"
Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "You went into someone else's house so late at night, and you're asking me what I'm laughing at?"
"Aren't you scared?!"
"What's there to be afraid of? If you've never done anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night."
"Hmph! You're stubborn as a mule! You're in big trouble today!"
"Oh? Really? That's making me quite scared!"
Grandma Jiang patted her chest dramatically, but her calm expression and playful eyes showed no sign of fear whatsoever.
Xue Ran wanted to hit Grandma Jiang, but when he took a step, his leg hurt, so he had to stop.
He ordered the two men behind him, "Go tie up that old hag! First, slap her ten times across the face to shut her up!"
He squinted at Old Mrs. Jiang with a smug look on his face and said, "Don't beg for mercy later!"
He then found a chair and sat down.
Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "Great! Great!"
The room was unusually quiet.
There was no sound at all.
Xue Ran looked at the two men with dissatisfaction, "Why haven't you made a move yet!"
One of the men frowned. "Xue Ran, you've been getting too cocky these past few days, haven't you! Hmm~"
With a single, increasingly loud "hmm," Xue Ran shuddered and immediately stood up, ignoring the pain in her lower body.
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Xue Ran said with a forced smile, "I was so angry with this old hag that I lost my mind!"
Brother Ma snorted coldly, "Stop wasting time on this nonsense, let's get down to business!"
Another man, Brother Niu, urged him, "Find out the location of the hidden gold as soon as possible; it's not safe here."
"Hey, hey, good!"
Xue Ran, enduring the pain, walked up to Old Madam Jiang. "Jiang Ying, where did you hide all those gold bars and gold ingots? Tell me right now!"
Grandma Jiang raised an eyebrow. "You know my name?"
"Of course I know! Don't think I'm bluffing you! I know your family's background perfectly well!"
Grandma Jiang glanced at him with interest. "Are you also a descendant of that slut from Hancheng?"
He then shook his head in denial.
"No! I remember your surname is Xue, right?"
Grandma Jiang pondered for a moment, then said to Doctor Gu beside her, "Could it be that that slut from Hancheng has had another illegitimate child with that Xue fellow?"
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"
Xue Ran became furious and reached out to hit Old Mrs. Jiang.
"If you dare touch me, I won't tell you where the gold is hidden!"
"ah?!"
Xue Ran and the others were stunned.
Is it that easy?
You said it so easily!
"What did you say?"
Xue Ran pressed for an answer.
Grandma Jiang said impatiently, "If you dare touch me, I won't tell you where you've hidden those gold bars and gold ingots you want!"
"Gulp~ Gulp~"
The sounds of swallowing saliva were particularly noticeable.
"Then, then, where is the gold?"
Xue Ran frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.
He looked at Grandma Jiang suspiciously, "Why would you tell me that?"
Grandma Jiang looked at her like she was an idiot. "Look at the show you're putting up. If I hadn't told you, wouldn't you have killed me and Lao Gu?"
"So, you're saying that if I didn't tell you, nothing would happen to us?"
Grandma Jiang asked in return.
"Then pretend I didn't say anything. You all get out of here now, don't disturb my sleep, and goodbye!"
Xue Ran turned around and exchanged a glance with Niu Ma, concluding that Old Madam Jiang was probably not playing a trick.
After all, they outnumbered her and she was an old woman all alone. To protect herself, she had to assess the situation carefully.
"Then tell me quickly!"
Even if I told you, you wouldn't know.
"you--"
Seeing that Xue Ran and the others were about to get angry, Grandma Jiang quickly added, "I'll go with you, otherwise you won't be able to rest easy!"
Both Dr. Gu and Grandma Jiang were dressed neatly and could walk away as soon as they got out of bed and put on their shoes.
Both of them are seventy years old this year. Although they are more robust than the average person, they are still not as young as young people.
Xue Ran and his group didn't tie them up; they just held them from the front and back and gagged them.
There's a patrol team in Lijiapo. If they leave the village and Old Lady Jiang makes a fuss, all their efforts will be in vain.

Evening, Dongfang City, a two-story unfinished building.
Several men are attacking a woman.
They initially thought that this woman was just a bit rough around the edges, and even if she had some strength, they could easily take her down.
They even wanted to give this woman to Hayato as a 30th birthday present!
Unexpectedly, this woman actually possessed some martial arts skills.
They'd been fighting for ages, and she'd already knocked two men to the ground.
While the woman was facing off against another man, a man suddenly lunged forward and kicked her in the back of the knee.
The woman's knees buckled, and she stumbled.
Seeing the opening, the surrounding men swarmed forward and pinned the woman to the ground.
"Whew...whew...this damn woman is actually pretty good!"
"Hayato, let's tie this woman up and take her to your room now. After you've had your fun, I'm going to chop her into eight pieces!"
"Yes! Then the bones were fried in oil and fed to the dogs!"
"The meat can be sent to a steamed bun shop to be steamed into buns."
"Human flesh, it tastes good!"
The men burst into laughter.
"This woman has another car. Get it back, throw away the license plate, and grind off the VIN!"
