Chu Zhenyuan and Chu Yan, both with military backgrounds, immediately expressed their opinions.
Chi Xinyao asked anxiously, "Could we have been robbed? Quickly check if anything is missing from the house!"
"good."
The Chu family had also discussed this situation.
After all, they had good food and even got a new bicycle.
Even Shi Minghui and Qin Yunze had reminded Ye Nian'an to be careful of thieves.
Therefore, Chu Yan set up some sensor traps.
You can't possibly put something dangerous near your own home.
I never expected that after living in the educated youth settlement for more than half a year, everything would be peaceful.
On this holiday day, the thief was incredibly bold to choose this time to strike.
Logically speaking, when everyone else was at work, the educated youth settlement was empty, making it an easier time to commit a crime.
Could it be...?
Was it a spur-of-the-moment, impulsive theft?
Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan went to check the bicycle first.
They usually keep their bicycles locked inside when they're not riding them, so they were somewhat relieved to see that they hadn't been stolen.
Just then, a scream came from Chu Xin'er's side.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they rushed over: "What's wrong? Xin'er?"
"Sister-in-law, there's someone lying here, bleeding!"
Looking in the direction Chu Xin'er pointed, there was indeed a figure lying there.
Because it was night and too dark, Chu Xin'er didn't notice it at first; she only realized it when she turned on the light.
"I'll go take a look."
"Brother Yan, be careful."
"I will."
Chu Yan told Ye Nian'an and the others to stay behind, and took the initiative to go forward and investigate.
When Chu Yan saw the face of the person lying on the ground, he was slightly taken aback and blurted out, "Jiang Zhiqing?!"
When Ye Nian'an and the others heard that it was Jiang Nuan, they quickly came over.
Chu Xin'er immediately flew into a rage, wishing she could kick Jiang Nuan a few times: "Could she be the thief?!"
"Damn it, haven't you learned your lesson yet? You dare to steal from our house!"
Ye Nian'an first examined Jiang Nuan's wound and shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. She must have been knocked unconscious by a sharp object hitting her forehead. This is not something that one person could have done alone."
Chu Xin'er then spoke up: "Sister-in-law, do you mean... besides Jiang Nuan, there was another person who came in?"
“There’s a high chance that if the murder weapon wasn’t taken by the murderer, it should be nearby. Yan-ge, go and look for it first. I’ll help Jiang Zhiqing treat her wounds.”
"Xin'er, go and inform Zhao Di and the others. Zhao Di once said that today is a festival, and Jiang Zhiqing and the others came here to celebrate. See if there are any extra clues."
"I see."
Chu Xin'er immediately ran out of the house.
Ye Nian'an laid Jiang Nuan flat on the ground and checked her pupils and pulse.
There was nothing unusual about it; it was probably just that the impact to the head was too strong, causing a concussion and causing him to pass out.
After giving Jiang Nuan the spiritual spring water, they inserted a few needles into her forehead to treat the wound.
All we can do now is wait.
"Niannian, is this the one you're looking for?"
Chu Yan then found the murder weapon not far from the house.
It was a candlestick, with some blood on it.
This is their household candlestick, and this is the murder weapon; there's almost no doubt about it.
Ye Nian'an imagined the whole process.
The thief sneaked into the house after they left, ransacking it.
Then Jiang Nuan happened to arrive nearby and heard noises coming from inside. She guessed that she had heard the news of the Chu family leaving from Leng Zhaodi again.
Thinking a thief had broken in, he went in to see what was going on, only to be attacked and knocked unconscious by the thief.
However, this woman is quite brave. Since she knew that the Chu family might have been burgled, she dared not notify anyone else and ran in alone to check the situation.
What's the point of all this?
The Chu family and Jiang Nuan had such a bad falling out before.
Logically, after such an incident, Jiang Nuan should have pretended not to know anything and left quickly, hoping that the Chu family would be emptied out.
The exact reason will probably only be known when Jiang Nuan wakes up.
Soon, Leng Zhaodi and the others heard the news and rushed to the Chu family.
"Jiang Nuan!"
Several male educated youths who harbored romantic feelings for Jiang Nuan were heartbroken when they saw her lying unconscious on the ground with her forehead wrapped like a rice dumpling. They rushed over and wailed in pain.
"Enough! Stop making noise! She's not dead yet, she's just unconscious and hasn't woken up!"
Ye Nian'an's head was throbbing from the men's shouts.
How come a bunch of grown men are acting more dramatic than women!
One of the male educated youths, his eyes red with tears, spoke up for his beloved: "Jiang Nuan is in such a state, why don't you help her to bed? Are you really that heartless? Leaving her lying on the cold ground!"
Ye Nian'an retorted without hesitation: "If you've lost your mind, go find a famous doctor. I don't treat idiots here!"
The male educated youth was choked by Ye Nian'an, and his face instantly turned ashen: "You?! I was talking to you nicely, why did you curse at me!"
"Why? What you're saying is like being kicked by a donkey! This is my house! We just came back from outside and found Jiang Zhiqing lying here. We didn't say she was trying to sneak in and steal things when no one was around!"
"If it weren't for finding out the truth, why would I have an obligation to treat her wounds? She's all dirty. What if she carries some germs and gets infected in our beds, causing consequences? Would you be responsible?"
The male educated youth immediately explained, "Jiang Nuan doesn't have any germs on her body!"
"This isn't about whether there are germs or not. She's a suspect now. We have every reason to suspect she's trying to break in and steal. And you're defending her like this, even having the audacity to tell me to put her on the bed..."
"Are you in cahoots with her, trying to steal our things while we're away?"
This is a huge accusation. If things go wrong, he could be labeled an accomplice in theft, go to jail, have a stain on his record, and ruin his life.
The male educated youth's face instantly changed, and he began to stammer, "I...I...I didn't! Don't make false accusations!"
"Then shut your mouth! Wait until Jiang Zhiqing wakes up and explains the situation before you talk! Otherwise, when the brigade leader comes, you'll be the first one I report!"
After Ye Nian'an said that, the other male educated youths immediately stopped breathing and retreated to the side, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
After all, no one can explain why Jiang Nuan was attacked and fainted on the ground in the Chu family's house.
When faced with the choice between himself and a woman, people are inherently selfish.
Yang Lijuan clicked her tongue in amazement. Ye Nian'an was far too domineering!
A woman alone terrified several young and strong educated youths, turning them into mice before a cat, so afraid they didn't dare to breathe!
No wonder Leng Zhaodi always speaks highly of Ye Nian'an; she's practically a super fan of hers.
A short while later, Jiang Nuan slowly woke up...
