Chapter 245 Suffered a Great Torture
Fang Xingzhi smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry about that, I have a brilliant plan."

Nie Tianlei, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "I don't know what Master Fang said to the jailers, but they let us in."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Fang Xingzhi.

Fang Xingzhi chuckled and said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "What's so difficult about that? Haven't you heard the saying 'money makes the world go round'?"

Li Ruru wholeheartedly agreed, "That's right, there's no problem that money can't solve."

She took out several silver notes from her spatial storage and handed them to Fang Xingzhi.

Fang Xingzhi was shocked to see Li Ruru casually pull out a 1 tael silver note from her sleeve.

"You're carrying so much money with you?"

Pan Dayan and Hai Shi were also very curious, but after their curiosity subsided, they only asked with concern, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

Aru just asked everyone to hand over their money for safekeeping, so how come she has so much money on her own?

Li Ruru touched her nose and lied, "Would you believe me if I said I had foresight?"

The group exchanged glances, hesitated only slightly, and then nodded in unison, saying, "We believe you."

She had foresight, didn't she?

During heavy rains, they would transport goods to the cave dwellings in advance, and after the wheat sprouted, they would open a workshop and make a lot of money together with everyone.

Now, whatever Li Ruru does is no longer surprising to everyone.

Li Ruru sighed, these people are so easy to fool.

She earnestly told Fang Xingdao, "Although this amount of money is unlikely to make the Xue family let us go, if you help us make some arrangements in the prison, our lives won't be too miserable."

She wanted to find someone to help with the lawsuit, but she didn't know who to ask, so she could only leave it at that for now.

Fang Xingzhi pushed the money back, saying, "This is nothing, no need to spend so much money. Besides, I have money too, I don't need yours."

Li Ruru thought that since they had earned so much money, they should spend some of it, but Fang Xingzhi wouldn't listen and continued, "If you insist on giving me money, then I won't help you."

Seeing that he insisted, Li Ruru put away the silver note: "Thank you for your hard work."

Fang Xingzhi's beard trembled as he said, "What's the big deal about hard work when we're family? This is what I should do."

In fact, he had already taken care of the jailers, so Li Ruru didn't need to tell him personally.

Hai Shi and Pan Dayan whispered to each other, "When did he become family with Aru?"

Pan Dayan tried her best to activate her gossip spirit, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find any useful information.

She began, "It's probably because they all live in the same house."

Seeing that the old man was taking it seriously, Li Ruru nodded and said, "Indeed, we all live together, aren't we family?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, but Fang Xingzhi was a little unhappy. However, he quickly comforted himself.

Well, this family isn't bad either. It seems he still needs to work harder to become a real family as soon as possible.

Fang Xingzhi's gaze towards Li Ruru was almost strained, but everyone else thought that he was just an old man with poor eyesight, which was why he needed to stare at people so intently.

Li Ruru quietly slipped some loose silver to Nie Tianlei, saying, "Please keep an eye on other things at home."

Nie Tianlei did not refuse and silently put it away.

Hai said, "Alright, you've told me everything you need to. You should all go back now; it's too damp here."

Bai Lu nodded, and Xiao Yishan and Nie Tianlei somehow managed to get several quilts.

Xiao Yishan: "These are all blankets from home, godmother, please make do with them."

Nie Tianlei took out several sachets and handed them to everyone, saying, "These sachets have a calming effect and can help you get a good night's sleep."

Bai Lu took out a large bundle from behind her, which was full of pastries and snacks.

"If you get hungry tonight, eat these to tide you over."

Pan Dayan looked at the gentle and lovely Bai Lu and liked her more and more. She really wanted this girl to be her daughter-in-law.

But she also knew that her two sons were not good enough for her at all. They weren't good enough before, and now that she knew the woman was a rich heiress, they were even less good enough.

She happily took the large bundle and said, "You should go back quickly, it will be dark soon and it won't be safe to walk."

The four nodded and reluctantly left the prison.

It was already late outside, with only a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Fang Xingzhi said, "You three go back first, I have some things to do."

After saying that, he left on his own without waiting for the three of them to speak.

Watching his departing figure, Nie Tianlei said, "Master Fang walks so fast, it's seriously inconsistent with his age."

Xiao Yishan and Bai Lu were thinking about other things and didn't hear him at all.

Xiao Yishan: "Let's go home quickly."

He was afraid that Yinyin would be scared if she was home alone.

Bai Lu: "I want to go find someone. You guys go back first."

Xiao Yishan: "Who are you looking for? I'll go with you."

Bai Lu thought for a moment, "Then... shall we leave now?"

Xiao Yishan nodded without hesitation, then turned to Nie Tianlei and said, "You should go back first. Yinyin is home alone."

Nie Tianlei: "Aren't Qiqi and Heizi still here? What are you afraid of? Where are you going? If it's not far, I'll go with you."

If it's far, you should go back and catch the carriage.

Bai Lu said, "It's a bit far, let's go back first."

The three returned home, and Bai Lu and Xiao Yishan hurriedly drove the carriage out again.

Holding a small rattle drum, Yin Yin stood in the moonlight, her face pale, and asked, "Brother Tian Lei, are my mother and the others alright? Why did Brother Yi Shan and Sister Bai Lu leave again after just coming back?"

As for Master Fang, I saw him during the day.

"Aren't Master Chu and Little Fifth Brother coming back tonight either?"

Nie Tianlei didn't know how to answer him. A once lively and bustling home had suddenly become cold and deserted.

He knelt down and patted Yinyin's head, saying softly, "Your mother and the others have something to do and won't be back tonight. How about your brother Tianlei stays with you to sleep?"

Yinyin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, can we bring Qiqi to sleep with us?"

Her mother always forbade her to sleep with Qiqi, saying it was unhygienic and would make her sick.

She actually cuddled Qiqi to sleep every night without her mother knowing.

Nie Tianlei instinctively wanted to refuse, but after seeing her pitiful little expression, he immediately agreed: "Okay, you can sleep with whoever you want."

"Then let Hei Zi come along too." Yin Yin pushed her luck and led the two big guys into the house.

Nie Tianlei: "..."

Ugh, how am I supposed to sleep like this? It's all his fault for being careless earlier; he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and agreed.

With two dogs guarding and keeping her company on either side, Yin Yin slept soundly.

Nie Tianlei suffered terribly; he only managed to doze off by the bedside and didn't get a proper sleep at all.

Qiqi and Heizi didn't sleep much all night. As if they had realized something, both dogs kept their eyes half-closed and their ears perked up warily, afraid that someone else would break in.

Nie Tianlei silently considered a thousand ways to rescue Li Ruru, but ultimately rejected them all.

His approach was either fight to the death or break the net. After Li Ruru was released from prison, she still needed to live and do business in Chenjia Village. He couldn't afford to make it a life-or-death situation.

Just as dawn broke in the east, someone started banging on Li Ruru's front door.

With dark circles under his eyes, Nie Tianlei opened the door and asked irritably, "Who is it? What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
