Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Cui Jinzhi said, "You two must be this young lady's parents, right? When the commotion started over there, a drunkard took advantage of the chaos to grab the young lady's sleeve and try to drag her into the alley. I happened to see it and chased the drunkard away. The young lady was a little frightened, but she's alright..."

Yun Yaya looked up at her parents, her face still flushed, and whispered.

"Father, Mother, it's true... Just now, someone grabbed me and tried to take me away. I couldn't stop them at all. It was Young Master Cui who happened to come by and chased the person away. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't even know..."

When Yun Linlin saw this, her face turned pale instantly.

It took her a full three seconds to suppress the scream that was about to burst from her throat.

She tugged at her mother's sleeve: "Mom, let's go home. It's so late, I'm so sleepy. Let's go home." Her voice was trembling.

Liang Dahua didn't notice anything wrong with her voice at all, and just assumed that she was scared because she had just gotten lost.

Her mind is now entirely on Cui Jinzhi.

This young man is good-looking, with a tall and straight figure, and knows martial arts. I just don't know which family's young master he is.

If they come from a good family, and someone saved his daughter, then that person is his benefactor...

Yun Huai'an also cupped his hands in thanks to Cui Jinzhi: "Thank you so much, Young Master Cui, for saving my daughter! If that villain had harmed her, my whole family would have been doomed. If you don't mind, please come to our home another day so we can properly thank you!"

Liang Dahua nodded vigorously beside her, took Yun Yaya's hand and thanked them together. Yun Yaya blushed and also curtsied.

Cui Jinzhi bowed slightly in return, saying, "It was nothing, you two don't need to be so polite. I will definitely visit you another day." After saying this, he glanced at Ya Ya and turned to leave.

Yun Linlin breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that Yun Yaya was alright, Liang Dahua asked curiously, "Who was that young master just now?"

Yun Yaya blushed. "He must be the martial arts actor from the opera troupe next door."

Upon hearing that he was a martial arts performer, Liang Dahua and Yun Huai'an secretly rolled their eyes.

What a waste of such a handsome face. If he were a martial arts actor, he wouldn't be a good match for Ya Ya.

Seeing her parents' attitude, Yun Linlin was finally relieved.

Yes, Wu Sheng is only good-looking, he has nothing else to offer, so his parents will definitely not agree to his sister seeing that person.

Then my sister is safe.

It was the third day of the opera troupe's performance.

Yun Huaikang had planned tonight's operation in advance.

He asked Zhao to stay home and take care of his granddaughter Cuicui, and also greeted Fan Sibo and Yun Ziyan. Those two didn't like watching plays anyway; one was engrossed in reading the book Su Qing had given him, and the other was practicing calligraphy until his hand cramped. When they heard that they didn't have to go to the play, they nodded faster than anyone else.

As for Yun Shengsheng, apart from worrying about Yun Shuangshuang, she really had no interest in that singing style. Especially after discovering that her third sister had never met that martial arts actor, she felt relieved and was even pulled by her fifth brother to write.

So tonight's outing was very streamlined: Yun Huaikang brought Gan Yuwan, plus his four daughters.

Five people, one oxcart, and a clear goal.

The play ended, the gongs and drums were put away, and the audience dispersed in twos and threes.

After the opera troupe finished dismantling the stage and loading the trucks, they were exhausted from the night. Some of them called out that they wanted to go to the wonton stall at the street corner for a late-night snack.

Cui Jinzhi straightened his sleeves and followed the group out with his usual smile. As they passed the entrance to a narrow alley, he suddenly paused—a young girl stood at the alley entrance, leaning against a lantern. The light softly illuminated her profile, revealing her beautiful features and slender figure.

She seemed to sense that someone was watching her, turned her head slightly to glance in this direction, and then turned and walked into the depths of the alley, her steps neither fast nor slow.

Cui Jinzhi's feet felt like they were hooked by something.

He turned to his companions and said, "You guys go ahead. I suddenly remembered I left something backstage. I'll come find you later."

One of his companions pursed his lips and exchanged a knowing look, thinking, "This guy's hopeless."

He ignored everyone and kept walking forward on his own.

Cui Jinzhi straightened her clothes and followed after her.

Of course, he didn't know that the girl in the profile was Yun Shuangshuang.

Yun Shuangshuang walked ahead, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

This was the first time in all her years that she had done something like this.

She wasn't really afraid anymore.

After hearing her younger sister's original ending, her fear was gradually suppressed by something else.

From that day on, she felt something stuck in her chest, and she knew that the root of the problem was this person.

She felt she would suffocate if she didn't exhale.

Her father also said that she was old enough to be brave and should do things on her own, and she thought so too. She insisted on doing it herself.

Cui Jinzhi followed her, winding and turning. At first, he followed her a few steps ahead with great interest, maintaining his elegant gait, and even had the leisure to mentally comment on the figure of the girl in front of him.

The alleyway grew narrower and darker as he walked, the walls on either side rising higher and higher, and the moonlight overhead was reduced to a thin line. A sudden, inexplicable unease welled up inside him, and his steps slowed. Finally, he stopped for a moment, then turned to leave.

He turned around and took a step—and there he was, a sack. It was precisely placed over his head.

His vision went black, and before he could even open his mouth to scream, he was kicked in the waist and knocked to the ground. Then, several hands held him down at the same time, and a rope quickly wrapped around his body several times, binding him up like a dumpling in no time.

The rope was tightened so tightly it almost dug into the flesh.

Yun Shuangshuang, Yun Pianpian, and the others have become quite skilled at lassoing people with sacks, and they can do it smoothly and effortlessly.

When Cui Jinzhi tried to scream again, he was met with a barrage of punches and kicks, until he could only let out muffled groans of pain. He had no idea who had put the sack over his head.

He had so many enemies that he couldn't even list them all.

Yun Huaikang stood guard at the alley entrance, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then gave Gan Yuwan a wink.

Gan Yuwan understood, turned around and walked to the oxcart, bent down and took something out from under the cart.

That was a knife.

A butcher's knife.

The blade gleamed with a cold white light under the moonlight.

When the girls saw the knife, they all gasped and shuddered in unison.

But when they thought about what this person had done, their legs went weak and their backs straightened.

Gan Yuwan shoved the knife into Yun Huaikang's hand without saying a word.

Yun Huaikang took it and walked to the sack that was tied up like a dumpling. He looked down at the slightly wriggling outline inside the sack, his mind filled with murderous intent. But then he remembered that Sheng Sheng didn't like him killing people, so he decided not to kill anyone.

Without hesitation, he gripped the knife and plunged it down.

Cui Jinzhi let out a heart-wrenching scream...
