"Jiang Nuan!"
"Jiang Zhiqing!"
Seeing so many people surrounding her, Jiang Nuan blinked in confusion: "What... what's wrong with me?"
hiss!
With the slightest movement, Jiang Nuan felt as if her head was about to split open.
"Jiang Nuan, don't move around. You have a serious injury to your forehead. Comrade Ye Nian'an treated the wound for you."
While showing concern for Jiang Nuan, Yang Lijuan also made sure to mention Ye Nian'an's contributions.
His tone carried a hint of ingratiation.
"Ye Nian'an..."
Jiang Nuan murmured the name softly, and in a flash, she remembered what had happened before she fell into a coma.
"ah!"
Jiang Nuan clutched her head and cried out in pain.
"Jiang Nuan, are you alright? Jiang Nuan."
"Comrade Ye Nian'an, what's wrong with Jiang Nuan?"
Ye Nian'an said calmly, "It must be that what Yang Zhiqing said just now triggered her memory. She suffered a concussion after being hit on the forehead, which affected her nerves. Her memory will recover soon."
"You guys hold her down first, I'll give her a few acupuncture needles to relieve the pain."
Otherwise, it's really troublesome if they keep yelling in their own home without being able to say anything.
Under Ye Nian'an's command, Leng Zhaodi was the first to step forward and hold Jiang Nuan down tightly.
Ye Nian'an took out the silver needles, sterilized them with candlelight, and then inserted several acupuncture points into Jiang Nuan's neck, before massaging them with his remaining strength.
Soon, Jiang Nuan's headache symptoms were relieved considerably.
Ye Nian'an asked coldly, "Why did you faint in our house? And who attacked you? Do you remember?"
“I…I remember now. I happened to be passing by your house when I noticed some noise inside. I heard Leng Zhaodi say that you had gone out, so I thought it was strange and came in.”
"I was walking very quietly and very carefully, but the thief still hit me hard. At that moment, I thought I was going to die, sob sob sob..."
Overwhelmed with emotion at surviving the ordeal, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but throw herself into Yang Lijuan's arms and burst into tears.
"But if you discovered there was a thief in our house, why did you come in alone? Logically, you should have called for help, or pretended you didn't know anything."
Ye Nian'an spoke frankly.
Having lived in the educated youth settlement for more than half a year, their family and Jiang Nuan had basically fallen out to the point of no return. They would subconsciously avoid each other when they met, and no one would greet them.
Why did Jiang Nuan not just stand by and watch when a thief broke into the Chu family's house, but instead risk her life to catch him without even calling out to anyone?
If it were Leng Zhaodi, who had a good relationship with the Chu family, Ye Nian'an wouldn't doubt it, and she wouldn't use such a stupid method—a delicate woman dealing with a thief.
When Ye Nian'an saw all of Jiang Nuan's actions, he found that Jiang Nuan's behavior was completely illogical, much like Su Mingyue's.
Jiang Nuan sniffed: "I... I was just in a hurry, thinking I should catch the thief as soon as possible to prevent your house from being robbed, so I came in alone without regard for the danger."
"There's no one around, just me. Everyone's gone out for the holiday. After eating, they're either running outside or looking for wild game in the back mountains. What if I go to call for help and the thief hears the noise and runs away?"
"If your family suffers losses and can't even catch the thief, that would be too much of a loss. I was born under the red flag and received higher education; I can't accept such an outcome!"
"..."
To be honest, Ye Nian'an instinctively didn't believe it.
Jiang Nuan has such good intentions, how come she couldn't see it at all in the past six months?
Previously, Leng Zhaodi almost had her things stolen on the train, and Jiang Nuan even blamed her for daring to rush up and slap the thief, saying that she would easily be retaliated against.
When did it become so virtuous and righteous?
However, since she was injured while catching a thief, judging from the situation at the scene, Jiang Nuan was indeed not lying.
Regardless of her intentions, Ye Nian'an couldn't continue to criticize her, as that would only give others cause for gossip.
At this time, Chu Zhenyuan and the others had finished taking inventory of the things in the room.
Apart from the candlestick that was used as a murder weapon and taken away, nothing else was lost.
When Captain Shi Minghui heard the news, he rushed over. He was celebrating the festival with his family at home when he never expected that a thief would appear at the educated youth settlement on such a joyous day, and even steal from the Chu family.
Although the Chu family was indeed easy to target, Shi Minghui knew in his heart that unless the thief was extremely audacious, he would never dare to set his sights on the Chu family.
First, both Chu Zhenyuan and Chu Yan are from the military. Although they have been dismissed and demoted, their combat skills are still top-notch.
Stealing from a family like this is a sure way to get caught, and you'll be beaten half to death! Plus, you're likely to be detected by counter-surveillance, so it's not worth it!
Secondly, Ye Nian'an is known in the village as someone who is not easy to mess with. Shi Minghui knows that she is grateful for kindness and vengeful, and he admires her. People like her are unlikely to be offended by any troublemakers in the village.
So when Shi Minghui heard about this, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was extremely shocked.
He was even more confused when he heard the Chu family say that nothing had been stolen.
"Could it be that the thief had just entered and hadn't had time to steal anything when Jiang Zhiqing discovered him, then the thief hit Jiang Zhiqing and hurriedly ran away?"
Based on the existing clues, Shi Minghui can only make this conjecture.
Even Chu Zhenyuan and his group thought so.
Of everyone present, Ye Nian'an was the only one who felt there was another possibility.
perhaps……
They don't want the things from the Chu family.
It was that thousand-year-old ginseng.
Therefore, the thief's identity is quite obvious.
It's Su Mingyue!
Even if Su Mingyue had guessed it, she would never have imagined that Ye Nian'an would be the one to dig up the thousand-year-old ginseng first.
But it's impossible to know that Ye Nian'an has a spatial ability.
However, Ye Nian'an currently has no evidence...
Because a heinous theft occurred and someone was injured, the matter can only be handled by reporting it to the local police station.
It was getting late, and going to town now would be too dangerous, so Shi Minghui planned to go to the commune tomorrow to explain the situation.
Fortunately, the Chu family did not lose anything.
Jiang Nuan, the only witness who discovered the thief, had no idea who the criminal was or could not describe his appearance.
