Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Listening to Yang Xiaoyue's angry voice, Xu Changping said without any strange expression: "Do you still remember the middle-aged woman you met at my master's house?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue was slightly stunned, then her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly, a little unhappy expression appeared on her face, and she said unhappily: "Isn't that the person sent by my third uncle! Could it be that this person is related to that woman?"

Xu Changping shook his head slightly upon hearing this, and walked slowly back to the exquisite mahogany couch under the window: "I don't know about this either, but since that person claimed to be assigned by your third uncle, didn't you ask him about the specific circumstances during the day?"

As he spoke, Xu Changping casually stretched out his hand towards where the teacups were placed, but ended up grabbing nothing.

Only then did he suddenly remember that just now in a moment of impulse, he had thrown the teacup in his hand as if it were a hidden weapon.

Yang Xiaoyue was not at all restrained. She walked straight to the other side of the couch and then sat down gracefully.

She raised her eyebrows and stared at Xu Changping with her beautiful eyes, saying, "At that time, he just told me not to pay attention to that woman, so I naturally thought that he had handled everything properly. What, do you think that the person in front of you was actually sent by that hateful old woman?"

"Didn't she tell us before she left that we should not refuse a toast and drink a forfeit?" Xu Changping said as he cast his gaze at Yang Xiaoyue's cheeks, which were slightly glowing with warmth under the light.

Then he raised his chin towards the man in the corner and continued, "Besides, this guy doesn't even know what he's trying to steal."

"You don't even know what to steal?" When Yang Xiaoyue heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The person who hired this man must be seriously ill, otherwise why would he come up with such a task?

"That's right." Xu Changping nodded, then after a brief thought, he continued:

"However, how about this? You're going to give that thing to your uncle tomorrow anyway, so why not give this man to him as well? After all, these troubles were caused by their people, so it's just right to let him handle it."

To be honest, it's really a headache to have this man in Xu Changping's hands, and I can't think of any particularly good solution for the time being.

If we send him to the police station, since there is no solid evidence, it is probably impossible to convict and sentence him.

So after much thought, Xu Changping still felt that it would be most appropriate to hand it over to Yang Xiaoyue's third uncle. At least it would make people feel more at ease. After all, their big families were more adept at handling some private matters.

"That's fine, but...what should I do with him tonight? I can't just leave him there like that! What if he wakes up in the middle of the night and runs away?"

Yang Xiaoyue didn't actually have much objection to Xu Changping's suggestion, but she was still a little troubled and asked hesitantly.

"You don't have to worry about anything. Go home and have a good sleep. Just wait until tomorrow to hand this man over." Xu Changping glanced casually at the man curled up in the corner, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said lightly.

You can escape after smelling the secret drug he prepared? That's just wishful thinking!

Yang Xiaoyue, who was standing aside, nodded obediently, indicating that she understood what Xu Changping meant.

Yang Xiaoyue believed in Xu Changping's ability. Since he said so confidently that this man would definitely not escape, the facts must be as he said.

However, despite this, Yang Xiaoyue still felt a little uneasy deep in her heart. After all, the man in front of her was an intruder from nowhere, and who could guarantee that no accidents would happen during this period?

If anything goes wrong or unexpected happens to Third Uncle, I would probably be in trouble again.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyue couldn't help but hesitate, but finally couldn't help but ask softly: "Brother Xu, I really can't understand why the other party went to the trouble of sending people to find out when they clearly don't even know what they are looking for?"

After hearing Yang Xiaoyue's words, Xu Changping, who had been calm and composed, suddenly fell silent.

He slowly closed his eyes, leaned back on the couch, slowly stretched out a hand, and tapped rhythmically on the small table next to him with his slender fingers.

The whole room suddenly fell into silence, with only the crisp knocking sounds that seemed like heavy hammers hitting Yang Xiaoyue's heart.

After thinking for a while, Xu Changping opened his eyes again and slowly answered:

"In my opinion, this woman's methods are very unusual. Her actions may seem reckless and impulsive, but in fact, she is most likely deliberately testing our response to this matter, or even more likely testing what the real thing is."

After hearing these words, Yang Xiaoyue's eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, like two tangled black lines.

She opened her red lips slightly and said doubtfully, "Testing us? But without knowing what it is, what can she test?"

Xu Changping on the side slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "She doesn't think that we don't know what it is. When she mentioned your father's relics, you thought of the jade pendant."

When Yang Xiaoyue heard this, she couldn't help but panic: "What should I do? What if she is looking for someone later?"

"It's okay. I'll watch the situation in the yard tonight. Tomorrow you can give the jade pendant to your third uncle and that'll be it." Xu Changping shook his head and said with a smile.

When she mentioned the uncle she had met during the day, he looked dignified and serious. But now she thought about him, he seemed elusive.

Yang Xiaoyue bit her lip and said anxiously, "Brother Xu, do you think it's possible that... my third uncle and that woman are secretly colluding with each other?"

Xu Changping did not give an immediate answer to Yang Xiaoyue's question. His eyes lightly swept across the dark shadow in the corner.

When he retracted his gaze and turned to look at Yang Xiaoyue, he said in a low voice: "I can't be sure of your guess, but there is at least one key point - that woman obviously doesn't know what the specific object is."

Xu Changping lowered his eyes for a moment before speaking again: "Even if they were colluding, it was not very deep, at least not to the extent of exchanging information. Of course, I am more inclined to believe that they were not colluding, and your third uncle was simply betrayed by his own men."

"Anyway, you will hand this man over to your uncle tomorrow and see how he reacts then."

As Xu Changping spoke, he slowly stood up, then gently patted Yang Xiaoyue's slightly thin shoulder, and continued earnestly:

"You! Go back to your room and go to sleep, and stop thinking about these things." After hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, and turned around to leave.

When she reached the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned her head abruptly. Her big, watery eyes looked straight at Xu Changping, and she said with her red lips:

"Brother Xu, thank you so much today. This is not the first time I have received your help."

Seeing this, Xu Changping couldn't help but smile warmly, and waved his hand in response, "Sister Xiaoyue, why do you have to be so distant with me?"
