Chapter 616 - 616 614 A Thief in the House

616: Chapter 614: A Thief in the House 616: Chapter 614: A Thief in the House On the way back to Liuhe Village, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin chatted about the village’s prospects today.

They mainly discussed what kind of development opportunities the mine would bring to Liuhe Village.

“I actually heard about this too, but only caught a snippet of the news.

I didn’t pay much attention at the time; I never expected that this place would really experience such growth,” Wu Kexin said, quite surprised.

As Chen Yang, who was focused on driving, heard this, he glanced at Wu Kexin subconsciously, “The news, did it come from your family?”

Hearing this, Wu Kexin paused for a moment and then turned her gaze to Chen Yang, as if asking, “How did you know?”

Chen Yang noticed Wu Kexin’s implication and smiled faintly, “You’re so young and beautiful, with a high degree of education, and you wear designer brands from head to toe, your watch alone is worth over a hundred thousand.

You must be no simple character.”

“So, the fact that you know such things must be through connections with your family in the background.”

It was obvious to Chen Yang from the day she arrived that Wu Kexin had a powerful background.

It was just that he had never mentioned it, but today the topic came up, and Chen Yang spoke his mind.

Listening to Chen Yang’s sensible analysis, Wu Kexin was silent for a few seconds before nodding, “Yes, you’re right, this news was obtained through my family.”

After that, Wu Kexin did not delve deeper into the topic of her family, but instead asked Chen Yang a question, “Chen Yang, if Liuhe Village’s development opportunity came tomorrow, what would you do?”

Faced with such a question, Chen Yang was stunned for a moment; he hadn’t really thought this through.

The news had come too suddenly, and he hadn’t had time to plan.

Now that Wu Kexin pressed for an answer, he didn’t know what to say.

However, after being silent for a couple of seconds, he replied in a teasing tone, “Of course, I’d go claim some land rights at your village department, then just sit and wait for the demolition.

Who knows, I might make a big fortune.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s response, Wu Kexin was taken aback, but within a second or two, she realized he was joking and laughed as she thumped Chen Yang.

“Nonsense, with someone like you, wait for a demolition?

You’re definitely the type to drive a hard bargain,” Wu Kexin said jokingly, rolling her eyes at Chen Yang.

“Haha,” Chen Yang laughed and said no more.

Afterward, the two returned to Liuhe Village in silence.

Upon entering the village, Chen Yang didn’t go back to his clinic but drove straight into the courtyard of the village department.

As soon as the car stopped, Wu Kexin jumped down from the vehicle.

Just as she was about to turn and wave goodbye to Chen Yang, she saw him also shut off the engine and hop down from the car.

“Why did you come down too?”

Wu Kexin asked, surprised.

Chen Yang chuckled and walked over to Wu Kexin, taking her by the waist.

“Of course, I’m not planning to go back, I’ll stay here to keep you company,” Chen Yang said, smiling.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin’s cheeks flushed, but she did not say anything; their relationship had reached a point where words were unnecessary.

“Then get up early tomorrow, so no one sees,” Wu Kexin said, her face still red.

“Haha, okay.” Seeing that Wu Kexin agreed right away, Chen Yang secretly rejoiced, nodded, and followed her into the house.

Then, after a brief rest, they took a shower and went to bed.

Chen Yang, lying on the bed, naturally couldn’t stay still, and after randomly caressing, he rolled on top.

Wu Kexin lay on the bed, her cheeks continuously warming up.

Chen Yang could feel the heat even at a distance of over twenty centimeters.

“We’re practically an old married couple; why are you still so shy?”

Chen Yang teased.

Her cheeks turning even redder, Wu Kexin took a little swing at Chen Yang, “Who’s an old married couple with you…”

“Hahaha.” Looking at the extremely bashful Wu Kexin, Chen Yang laughed loudly and then thought about getting straight to the point.

But precisely at this moment, a chirping sound suddenly arose from outside.

Chen Yang knew instantly that it was Brother Eagle’s cry.

And Wu Kexin recognized it as well.

The previously ambiguous atmosphere was shattered by Brother Eagle’s screeching, instantly sobering them up.

“What’s going on?

Why is Brother Eagle screaming in the middle of the night?” Wu Kexin looked nervously at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang’s brows furrowed slightly, “I don’t know, it might be because of the poisoning today.”

“Poisoning?

Then you better go check it out quickly, don’t let anything happen,” Wu Kexin immediately said.

“Mhm,” Chen Yang nodded, flipped out of bed quickly, and prepared to go back to check.

Brother Eagle had been poisoned by a snake today, though he had taken the medicine pills Chen Yang made; by all logic, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?

But with such a piercing scream in the middle of the night, Chen Yang couldn’t help but worry, so he had to get dressed and go back to see what was happening.

“Wait for me at home; I will return shortly,” Chen Yang said to Wu Kexin after getting dressed.

Wu Kexin also sat up, wrapped herself in the quilt, and nodded, “Mhm.”

With that, Chen Yang put on his shoes and left the house.

There was still some distance between the village center and Chen Yang’s house.

As the distance closed, the cries of Brother Eagle became clearer and clearer to Chen Yang.

“What on earth is happening?

Why such fierce screaming?” The louder the hawk’s threatening cries grew, the more uneasy Chen Yang felt, and his footsteps involuntarily quickened.

The journey that usually took a few minutes was covered in less than one by Chen Yang; he rushed back to the clinic, then took out the keys, opened the door, and went straight to the backyard through the clinic.

Hearing the chilling cries of the hawk, Chen Yang initially thought the snake venom had recurred in Brother Eagle.

But when he rushed to the backyard, he realized the truth!

It wasn’t that Brother Eagle was poisoned; there were intruders in the house.

At that moment, six or seven sneaky figures in black stood in the backyard, waving objects in their hands, trying to chase away Brother Eagle in the sky.

And Brother Eagle kept circling above the courtyard, looking for opportunities to attack these black-clothed intruders while constantly calling out.

“Damn it!

Daring to steal my things?

You’re courting death!”

Seeing the scene before him, Chen Yang was furious, clenched his fists, roared, and charged out to give these people a severe lesson.

But when the six or seven men in black saw Chen Yang rushing out, far from being frightened, they actually sparkled with excitement.

“Haha, so you were home after all.”

Suddenly, someone amongst the men in black spoke up.

Chen Yang, hearing this voice, felt it was familiar, so he abruptly halted.

“Who are you?” Chen Yang eyed the talkative figure in black.

“Hehe.” The man in black chuckled and took a step forward, then arrogantly took off his mask.

“Have you forgotten me so quickly?

You filthy peasant!”

As the man in black took off his mask, Chen Yang immediately recognized him!

“It’s you!”

Upon realizing he was recognized, the man in black burst into laughter, “Haha, yes, it’s me.”

Chen Yang’s brows were tightly knit as he looked at the man in black laughing before him.

He truly hadn’t expected that the man before him was the same Gu Family member he had a verbal altercation with at the mine in the afternoon.

“What are you doing in my house in the middle of the night?

Thieving?” Having clarified the identity of the person before him, Chen Yang no longer rushed to fight but instead shouted sharply, wanting to understand the purpose of their late-night visit.
