The gluttonous little boy is four and a half years old, and even the wealthy family kneels down and

The children were crying and cursing. One of them got up and ran home, shouting, "Mom... someone hit me!"

The commotion was quite loud, and the doors of several nearby houses opened one after another, with adults peeking out to look.

Kong Zheng and Yun Ziang also quickly walked out of the house next door.

Yun Ziang spotted Xiao Jin standing at the alley entrance at a glance. Her small back was ramrod straight, and some people were shouting and cursing as the children ran away.

He immediately realized what was happening, called out "Xiao Jin," and rushed over, squatting down to hold her shoulders, looking her up and down carefully: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

When Xiao Jin saw Yun Ziang, all the grievances she had been holding back all the way surged up at once.

Her lips trembled, her eyes reddened slightly, and she buried her face in Yun Ziang's arms: "They bullied Xiao Jin and tried to steal Xiao Jin's watch."

She raised her hand, revealing a ring of red marks on her wrist from being gripped so tightly, which stood out starkly against her fair skin.

When Yun Ziang saw the red mark, his anger flared up instantly.

He picked up Xiao Jin and called out in the direction the children had run off to:

"Who laid a hand on me! Stop right there! You bunch of brats, what kind of skill is it to bully a child... Don't run away if you dare!"

The children, who had initially looked back, scattered in terror when they saw Yun Ziang chasing after them with a fierce expression. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yun Zi'ang's chest heaved with anger, and he wanted to chase after them again, but Xiao Jin put her arms around his neck and whispered, "Grand-nephew, Xiao Jin has already fought back, we're not playing with them anymore."

"let's go."

Yun Ziang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and bounced Xiao Jin up a little so she could be more comfortable in his arms: "Fine, we won't stoop to their level."

"What kind of manners are these? A bunch of petty thugs."

He said that, but his eyes still glared angrily in the direction the children had run off to.

Kong Zheng walked up from behind, squatted down to pick up a roasted sweet potato that had been trampled on, and looked at Xiao Jin's wrist. "I brought some medicated oil with me. I'll rub it on for you when we get back."

As Yun Ziang was about to turn around while holding Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin suddenly raised her head and glanced at the alleyway in the distance.

A girl who looked to be under twenty stood by the wall of a house. She had an oval face, fair skin, and wore simple, old gray-blue clothes. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. She was looking at them from afar.

Seeing Xiao Jin looking over, she turned around abruptly and ran away as if startled.

Kong Zheng seemed to sense something and looked in the direction Xiao Jinwang was looking, but he didn't see anything.

Xiao Jin watched the retreating figure in a hurry, her eyes narrowing slightly, but she said nothing. She simply rested her head back on Yun Ziang's shoulder, wrapped her short arms around his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Grand-nephew, Xiao Jin is sleepy."

Yun Zi'ang's heart melted at the soft "I'm sleepy" he heard. He gently lifted Xiao Jin in his arms, bouncing her up a little, and coaxed her softly, "Sleep, sleep, your grand-nephew is holding you."

As he spoke, he turned and winked at Kong Zheng, then lowered his voice and said indignantly, "What's wrong with the kids in this village? They dare to rob people in broad daylight."

"What the hell is this?! Is nobody going to do anything about this?!"

"There are few children in the village, and they're used to being wild," Kong Zheng said, his gaze returning to the back of Xiao Jin's head. Seeing that Xiao Jin had already closed her eyes, he didn't continue speaking.

They went in and asked the deceased's grandfather. He said the deceased had no enemies or disputes with anyone. He just suddenly said one night that he was going to walk by the well and never came back.

This was similar to the information Kong Zheng had previously obtained, and the other three people were in the same situation.

If it's not a problem with the Locked Dragon Well, then it must be the work of evil spirits.

Kong Zheng's brows furrowed, his mind racing with thoughts.

Inside Yun's Real Estate Company.

Yun Ziqian sat at his desk, looking gloomy. He stared at the documents spread out in front of him, but couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

"That jinx..." His mind was filled with Wen Wen's face.

Yun Mingyi got into a car accident because he had a fight with Wen Wen. When he was taken to the hospital, he told Yun Mingyi not to tell his family about Wen Wen.

But Wen Wen treated Yun Mingyi in a different way.

Yun Ziqian recalled Wen Wen's actions and felt increasingly disgusted. He made up his mind, "I must find a way to get rid of Wen Wen."

Such a woman will only harm his uncle.

All we need to do is get Wenwen to divert her attention from her uncle.

A glint of light flashed in Yun Ziqian's eyes. What Wen Wen wanted most was to marry into a wealthy family.

She turned to her uncle because Fu Yuheng was ignoring her.

As long as she gets back with Fu Yuheng, he doesn't believe she'll still cling to his uncle.

Thinking this, Yun Ziqian made a phone call, "Find out Fu Yuheng's recent movements and the places he frequents, and send them to me as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Yun Ziqian felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

He leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a hint of ruthlessness, "Heh, let's see who can beat whom."

In Lun'an Town, the mayor's family hadn't prepared dinner yet.

Xiao Jin was enjoying her roasted sweet potato, which she was holding in both hands, leaning against the stone lion statue, when she saw a big white cat walking over.

The big white cat was grayish and looked very thin. It walked over to Xiao Jin, sat down, and meowed at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin looked at the kitten with a grin, "Little kitten, you're craving sweet potatoes too, aren't you?"

The big white cat meowed.

"Here, Xiao Jin will share a little with you," Xiao Jin broke off a piece of sweet potato, put it on the ground, and urged with a smile, "Eat it quickly."

The big white cat came over and ate the sweet potato on the ground bit by bit.

"It won't eat anything given to it by others," a female voice came from the side.

Xiao Jin looked up and saw that it was the woman she had just seen.

The woman stood a little distance away, squatting on the ground watching the big white cat eating a sweet potato. "It likes you."

"No, it's because the sweet potatoes smell so good," Xiao Jin replied softly.

The woman looked at Xiao Jin, blinked, and asked, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"My name is Xiao Jin, and I'm here to catch the bad guys," Xiao Jin explained earnestly.

The woman's face remained expressionless as she calmly said, "Some people had said they wanted to catch the bad guys, but they didn't; they let the bad guys get away."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin frowned. "Ah, how could this be?"

"Are they in cahoots with the bad guys?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, they're in cahoots."

"And you, are you one of them?"

The woman stared intently at Xiao Jin, her pale face giving her a somewhat sinister appearance.

Xiao Jin shook her head vigorously, "No, Master said that Xiao Jin was sent by God to catch bad guys."

"Hey girl, don't be sad. Bad guys will get caught."

"Is that so..." The woman squatted on the ground, curled up, tilted her head slightly, stared at Xiao Jin in a daze, and murmured softly.

Just then, Yun Zi'ang's shouts came from the courtyard:

"Xiao Jin, dinner's ready!"

As soon as Xiao Jin heard that dinner was served, her eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly. She said to the woman:

"Miss, Xiao Jin is going to eat now. I'll come find you to play again tonight, and you can tell me another story about the bad guys then!"

The woman paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Before she could answer, Xiao Jin turned and ran back into the yard.

Xiao Jin, smelling the aroma of chicken stew with mushrooms, swallowed hard, exclaiming, "Grand-nephew, I'm here!!"

She ran very fast and dashed into the house. Just as she was about to sit down, Yun Ziang stopped her.

"Go wash your hands. You can only eat after you wash your hands." Yun Ziang pretended to be stern, picked up Xiao Jin, and took her to wash her hands.

Xiao Jin was heartbroken, watching helplessly as the dishes on the table receded further and further away from her. She wailed, "Meat!"

After washing her hands, Xiao Jin, with her short legs, ran back to the table, picked up the chicken leg that Kong Zheng had left for her, and ate it in big bites.

"It smells so good!" Xiao Jin ate with a satisfied look on her face, swinging her little legs.

Yun Ziang kept putting food into Xiao Jin's bowl, saying with concern, "You were bullied today, you need to make up for it properly."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Sun Liqiang quickly asked what had happened.

Kong Zheng briefly recounted what had happened that afternoon.

Upon hearing this, Sun Liqiang felt both ashamed and furious. "I'll take you door-to-door to find out whose child dares to bully people like this!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin replied, "Oh, no need, Xiao Jin has important things to do tonight!"

Kong Zheng then echoed and politely declined.

Yun Ziang, who was standing to the side, pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He knew that the town mayor was just saying polite words.

After finishing his meal, Kong Zheng planned to visit Suolongjing at midnight.

"You can rest for a bit, I'll call you when it's time."

"Okay," Yun Ziang readily agreed, eager to take a break.

Xiao Jin thought for a moment, nodded, and followed Yun Ziang back to the house to rest.

However, it wasn't even 11 p.m. yet, and Xiao Jin got out of bed by herself. She glanced at Yun Ziang, who was fast asleep, and said softly:

"Grand-nephew, Xiao Jin wants to go out and play for a while."

As she spoke, she took a peach wood sword from her small cloth bag, placed it in Yun Ziang's arms, and then patted Yun Ziang's forehead: "Be a good boy."

After saying that, Xiao Jin took her things and went out.

The mayor and his wife were already asleep, while Kong Zheng was in another room.

Xiao Jin hesitated for a few seconds, then muttered, "Kong Kong isn't suitable to go."

After she finished speaking, she took short steps and walked outside.

She walked out onto the village road, heading straight ahead with a very clear goal in mind.

Not far after walking, Xiao Jin heard a melodious singing voice, singing a country tune. The voice was not loud and seemed to be coming from a very far place.

"The young lady is waiting for me." Xiao Jin quickened her pace and ran forward with a wiggle.

However, the running speed wasn't much faster.
