Chapter 178: You Won’t Believe It

Shuang He wasn’t badly hurt. After she was bandaged up at the medical clinic, Yu Sanbao took her back in a carriage.

By the evening, when the Yujia boys returned from school and heard that Shuang He was injured, they all rushed to the storeroom where Shuang He was resting to check on her.

Shuang He had just woken up, and with a complex expression, her face pale, she recounted what had happened to the young masters.

Everyone was left in disbelief.

Who would’ve thought Yang Xiangdie had a treasure map? And who could have imagined that Yang Xiangdie, who seemed so reliant on Shuang He, would be capable of such a vicious act against her?

Liu Ge'er, however, seemed to recall something and his expression suddenly changed. "This is bad!"

"The fact that Yang Xiangdie could do something like this to Shuang He shows that she’s not someone who values relationships," Liu Ge'er said, his face troubled, as he quickly analyzed the situation. "Those scoundrels suspected her of having a treasure map. Once they catch her, they’ll definitely try to force her to reveal where it is!

"If Yang Xiangdie had the treasure map on her, it might be fine, but if she didn’t have it, or if it doesn’t exist at all, she might throw us under the bus to save herself!"

Huai Geer’s face also changed.

Liu Ge'er’s analysis made sense!

Shuang He, upon hearing this, became anxious and struggled to get up. "We can’t let her harm our family..."

Xingxing, who had been sitting beside Shuang He, quickly tried to stop her.

"Sister Shuang He! Don’t move! The doctor said you need to rest and recover!" Xingxing said urgently.

Shuang He felt a sharp pain in her shoulder with the slightest movement, her lips turning white from the pain. She didn’t dare move again but said anxiously, "When we helped her out of her outer garment, we didn’t see any treasure map. But if it’s something so important, she must have kept it hidden on her body..."

Huai Geer clenched his fists, filled with righteous anger. "I’ve been learning sword techniques with my master these days. If those thieves dare to come, I’ll take them out one by one!"

Xingxing clapped her hands, eager to see. "Big brother, you’re amazing!"

Feeling like a hero in front of his little sister, Huai Geer practically floated off the ground.

"Xingxing, do you want to watch? Should I demonstrate it for you now?" Huai Geer offered enthusiastically.

Xingxing clapped her hands, excited. "Yes, yes!"

She then turned to Shuang He, gently patting her hand like a little grown-up. "Sister Shuang He, rest well. Xingxing is going to watch big brother’s sword technique!"

The siblings went outside to practice the sword technique.

Liu Ge'er also advised Shuang He to focus on recovering and not to worry too much.

He would go report the matter to the authorities first.

Shuang He nodded and closed her eyes tiredly.

Yu Sanbao nodded after hearing Liu Ge'er’s analysis and plan to report to the authorities. "Since these are remnants left over from the bandits that the authorities failed to eliminate, it’s necessary to report this."

He comforted, "Don’t worry too much. We’ve got plenty of men in our family. No matter how vicious those thieves are, with our six men, we have nothing to fear."

Liu Ge'er nodded. "You’re right."

Yu Sanbao asked Yu Siyang to go with Liu Ge'er to report to the authorities, so they could watch each other’s backs.

Before leaving, Xingxing pulled on Liu Ge'er's sleeve and gently shook it. She said to him, "Third Brother, don't worry. The bad guys will definitely be caught soon!"

Liu Ge'er smiled and gently poked Xingxing's cheek. "Yes, they definitely will."

But they didn’t expect that Liu Ge'er and Yu Siyang would be gone for so long after reporting to the authorities.

Although Yu Sanbao was busy at the shop, he couldn’t stop worrying about them and became somewhat anxious as he waited. Finally, Liu Ge'er and Yu Siyang returned.

But Liu Ge'er's usually composed face now showed a hint of distraction.

Yu Siyang seemed fine, but behind him was a young girl.

The girl was Ah Wu, whom Yu Siyang had rescued before.

Beside the girl was the maid Moliu, and following them were two guards.

Yu Sanbao: "?"

What’s happening here?

Yu Sanbao was baffled.

Ah Wu, however, was quite happy and took the initiative to greet Yu Sanbao in the shop. "Boss, I came to see Xingxing!"

Ah Wu peeked into the shop and called out, "Xingxing?"

Yu Sanbao, still puzzled, rubbed his face. "Xingxing should be in the backyard, learning characters with Gui Ge'er."

The maid Moliu looked apologetic. "I'm really sorry for bothering you so late. Our miss insisted on coming to see for herself that Xingxing was alright after hearing she was frightened by those two scoundrels."

Yu Sanbao was even more puzzled, but seeing Ah Wu's determined look, he gestured for Yu Siyang to take her to the backyard to see Xingxing.

Moliu instructed the two guards to wait outside and gave Yu Sanbao an apologetic look before following Ah Wu to the backyard.

"What on earth is going on?"

Yu Sanbao was filled with confusion and asked Liu Ge'er and Yu Siyang.

Liu Ge'er coughed. "Third Uncle, you’re not gonna believe this..."

It turns out that while heading to the authorities, Liu Ge'er and Yu Siyang ran into the two scoundrels who were secretly holding Yang Xiangdie.

Liu Ge'er and Yu Siyang didn’t know the two scoundrels, but they certainly knew Yang Xiangdie.

There was no doubt about the identities of the other two.

While Yu Siyang remained calm, Liu Ge'er’s expression darkened instantly.

He quickly came up with a few ideas to catch the scoundrels without tipping them off.

But before he could act, Yang Xiangdie, upon seeing the two, hastily revealed their identities. "Master Four! Third Young Master!"

Just then, they ran into Ah Wu on the street!

Ah Wu rarely left the house when she lived in the capital, but after moving to this small town with her grandfather for retirement, she thought it would be safer. However, she didn’t expect that even in such a small place, danger could still find her.

After that, Ah Wu’s family assigned two bodyguards to keep her safe.

Just as the scoundrels moved, Ah Wu spotted them.

She excitedly called her two personal guards to help.

Those mountain bandits were no match for the trained guards.

They were tied up securely.

After that, Liu Ge'er and Yu Siyang took them all to the local authorities.

"..."

Yu Sanbao couldn't believe it. "Just like that?"

Liu Ge'er coughed again, "Third Uncle, don't say you're the only one surprised. Even now, it still feels pretty wild. After Miss Ah Wu's people helped subdue the scoundrels, they heard about Xingxing and wanted to check on her, so we returned together."

He snapped his fingers, remembering something, "Ah, I remember now! Before I left, Xingxing told me that those two bad guys would be caught soon! ...This must be Xingxing's good luck shining through!"

Liu Ge'er said delightedly, "Xingxing's our little lucky charm! No doubt about it!"
