"Hey, it really is Jiang! How's it going over there? Is everything going smoothly?"

Jiang Yuyan frowned. "Captain, has something happened to my family?"

The captain sighed deeply, "You siblings had only been gone for two days when your uncle's family came to your parents, saying they wanted to redistribute the family property, or they would sue your parents for disregarding your mother's life."

"Grandma Jiang is dead?"

"Uh, no, but she's half-paralyzed in bed right now, and the treatment costs are very high. Jiang Guangbao brought her back that same day. Now they're having a huge fight with your family. Your parents—why don't you come back and deal with things here first?"

The captain didn't want to disturb Jiang Muxuan's treatment, as they were making too much noise. He couldn't just say that Jiang Guangbao was wrong and arrest them.

They won't listen to me. I tell them today, and they come back tomorrow. I tell them again tomorrow, and they come back the day after. It never ends.

Jiang Yuyan's eyes turned cold. "Captain, I will go back as soon as possible. Please help my parents out again."

"Hey, no problem. By the way, Jiang, how's Mu Xuan doing? Can the doctors in the big city treat your brother's legs?"

"Yes, my brother has regained feeling in his legs. I believe it won't be long before he can stand up again and return to his former self."

"Oh, good, good, good, that's great! Your parents will be so happy to hear this news. Otherwise, Mu Xuan would be so pitiful."

"..."

After hanging up the phone and paying the money, Jiang Yuyan took Jiang Muyi to the train station to buy tickets.

"Comrade, do you still have tickets for the Huasheng Cultural Commune today?"

The ticket seller checked the tickets. "Tickets for today and tomorrow at the Huasheng Cultural Commune are sold out. We have tickets for the day after tomorrow. Do you want them?"

Only tickets for the day after tomorrow?

Jiang Yuyan was anxious inside, but calmly bought two train tickets to Huasheng Cultural Commune the day after tomorrow.

As they neared home, Jiang Muyi finally couldn't resist grabbing her and pulling her to a secluded spot, anxiously asking...

"Little sister, what happened at home? Tell me quickly, has something happened to Mom and Dad?"

Jiang Yuyan was still thinking about how to get back as soon as possible when she heard her second brother's words. She immediately regretted forgetting to tell him about what happened at home.

With a serious face, he said, "Second brother, something has happened at home...blah blah blah...we urgently need to go back as soon as possible."

With a loud thud, Jiang Muyi slammed his fist into the tree, creating a small dent in the trunk. His fingers were covered in blood, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.

"Jiang Guangbao!!"

Jiang Yuyan carefully pulled his hand over, and seeing the blood on it, her eyes immediately turned red with anger.

"Second brother, how could you hurt yourself because of people like that? Couldn't you save your energy to beat them up when we get back? Are you trying to make me angry to death?"

Jiang Muyi was terrified when he saw his little sister start to cry as she spoke. He didn't know what to say, and he wanted to stop her from crying but was afraid of upsetting her.

"...Little sister, don't cry. It was your second brother's fault. I'll never do it again. You, don't, cry—"

Jiang Yuyan covered her face, her voice muffled, "Will you dare to hurt yourself again next time?"

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again, little sister, your second brother really knows he was wrong, please don't cry, okay?"

"Hehe, Second Brother, you have to keep your word, or I'll tell Big Brother next time and he'll punish you for being naughty." Jiang Yuyan lowered her hand, her face without a trace of tears.

Although he knew he had been tricked, Jiang Muyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his little sister wasn't really crying.

I'll agree to anything as long as she doesn't cry.

"You—" He wanted to say something to her but couldn't bring himself to.

"Second brother, let's go back and talk to our eldest and third brothers. We'll all work together to figure out a solution. The most important thing now is how to get back as soon as possible."

"I'll listen to you."

The four siblings of the Jiang family gathered in Jiang Muxuan's room.

Jiang Yuyan sat alone on a stool, while Jiang Muyi and Jiang Muren stood. It wasn't that they didn't want to sit, but rather that they were too annoyed to sit.

"..."

Upon hearing his younger sister's words, Jiang Muxuan's expression immediately turned cold. However, he sensed that something was amiss.

"Did the team leader really say that Jiang Guangbao's family sent the partially paralyzed Old Mrs. Jiang back to the old Jiang family home? Doesn't Jiang Guangbao have to go to work? Why are they staying at the old Jiang family home?"

Based on their past disdain for the countryside from their selfish uncle's family, it was impossible for them to stay there for so long.

Unless—there is some benefit to be gained.

Jiang Yuyan nodded. "I'm absolutely sure. I even confirmed it with Captain Uncle again. That's what he said. Brother, do you think there's anything wrong with it?"

"Yes, there's a big problem. Jiang Guangbao is the kind of person who won't do anything without a profit. Why would he give up a perfectly good job and go back to the countryside if there's no benefit for him? Besides, his family usually looks down on our family the most. They don't care about even the smallest bit of profit."

This time, taking advantage of their absence, they went to make trouble for their parents. If you say there's nothing fishy going on, Jiang Muxuan will be the first to disagree.

Jiang Muyi pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

Jiang Muxuan immediately noticed the change in his expression. "Second brother, have you thought of something?"

Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Muren looked over and saw that their second brother's face was ashen, the veins on his neck were bulging, his fists were clenched, and he looked like he was about to explode with anger.

"Second Brother—"

"Second Brother—"

Jiang Yuyan's shout brought Jiang Muyi, who was furious, back to his senses. He looked up and saw his eldest brother, younger sister, and third brother looking at him with concern. He took a deep breath.

He sat down, covering his face, and after a long while, he said, "Brother, actually, before I was arrested, I accidentally saw Da Jiang Guangbao going to the post office. I knew he couldn't possibly know any important people, but I was curious about what he was doing at the post office, so I secretly followed him in."

"I heard him say something to the person on the phone that he absolutely guaranteed to complete the task, and something about seeing her, and that he would definitely... something like that. I couldn't hear the rest clearly because we were too far apart, but I'm sure someone paid Jiang Guangbao to do something bad."

A dark glint flashed in Jiang Yuyan's eyes, but she remained silent.

Jiang Muren couldn't believe it. "Could someone be trying to harm our family?"

Jiang Muyi shook his head. "I don't know. I originally thought this couldn't possibly have anything to do with our family, but after hearing what the captain said today, and seeing Jiang Guangbao's unusual behavior, it's clear he did it with some kind of purpose."

Jiang Muxuan gripped the wheelchair handles tightly. If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened at home—

Suddenly, Jiang Yuyan spoke up, "Big brother, regardless of whether your leg is injured or not, he will still target our family. Don't you think the timing of your and second brother's accidents is too coincidental?"

Jiang Muyi: "......" What does that mean?

Jiang Muxuan, deep in thought, asked, "Little sister, are you saying that someone has been watching our family all along? Going to such lengths to harm my second brother and me? Why? And who would target the Jiang family, now penniless?"
