Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Can Chapter 141 be a little more reliable?

Hearing the commotion downstairs, the nanny eventually caught up with them.

Upon seeing the group of people gathered in the old lady's room, he immediately thought of someone's previous instructions and quietly slipped his hand into his pocket.

"What are you doing here? Didn't we agree not to come up to the second floor? Well, you lot are up to no good, taking advantage of the owner's absence to steal things. Just you wait, I've already called the police, none of you will get away today!"

"Call the police? Fine, you better call the police. I want to see who the police arrest when they arrive." Du Desheng held his lover's hand tightly and said with heartache, "Is this the vicious woman who locked you up here? Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely get justice for you today."

Du Anrao's lips twitched slightly: "Grandpa, if there's anything we need to discuss, why don't we take this grandma away first?"

Grandma Qin's focus, however, was a little off: "Grandpa? You have a granddaughter now?"

Startled, Du Desheng shuddered and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, let me explain. She's just a distant relative of mine, not my granddaughter."

Du Anrao quickly realized, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, this woman really doesn't dare to call the police, but everyone in this village knows them well, and the relatives and neighbors are very united. If this matter really gets out of hand, we're probably all trapped here to die."

[Thank goodness! I almost caused a family crisis by omitting one word. But couldn't you two wait until you're outside to catch up? How old are you? Do you really need me, a junior, to act as your love protector? Can't you two be a little more reliable?]

"You..." Grandma Qin's eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed at Du Anrao, speechless.

Seeing this, Du Desheng vaguely guessed what was going on and chuckled, "I'll explain the details to you later. It's not safe here, let's leave first."

"You think you can just leave? Not so easy." The nanny was now certain that Du Anrao and the others were in cahoots with Grandma Qin.

However, she didn't think of them as Qin's old friends. She only regarded Du Anrao and the others as Qin's relatives who came to steal the painting. With a ferocious expression, she raised her knife and rushed towards Du Anrao and the others.

After so many years in office, the tall and strong Uncle Amin finally had a chance to prove himself. Before the nanny could get close to Du Anrao and the others, he took the knife from her hand and kicked her out the door.

Just then, Qin Shouye, who had just returned from a trip outside, walked through the gate of his own courtyard, followed by several middle-aged men who were flushed with excitement.

"Shouye, is what you just said true? Those people who came to our village this afternoon, they just threw out 30,000?"

"Didn't I just show you? How could it be fake? Don't blame me for not thinking of you when something good happens. So many people came, and my uncle's house is so small, it's definitely not enough to accommodate everyone. The rest are probably with some lucky family now. You should go and ask around; you might be able to pick up one or two of the stragglers. That's all money!"

The group exchanged glances, clearly interested.

"But I heard that the ones who were in the lead are all living at your house, and the rest... are all working for others, so they probably don't have much money, right?"

“Even a mosquito is still meat, and even if they’re poor, they’re still richer than us. Besides, bodyguards like them get all their food, clothing, and lodging expenses reimbursed when they’re out and about. If you’re worried they’ll think it’s too expensive, just reimburse a little less, five or six hundred shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

"Five or six hundred is a lot. Staying for three or four days will be enough for almost a month's salary for me."

A group of people were chatting enthusiastically about money when the nanny heard Qin Shouye's voice. Ignoring the pain in her stomach from being kicked, she scrambled to the stairwell and shouted, "Qin boy, they're kidnapping someone! Those people from other villages have come upstairs to kidnap someone!"

Qin Shouye, who was still enjoying the flattery and praise in the courtyard, suddenly changed his expression: "What? They ran upstairs to snatch him?"

Without a second thought, he abandoned everyone and ran inside. The people in the courtyard were stunned, and after a while, they said, "Those people from other villages are indeed suspicious. You should quickly go and find someone to help us."

Some people went to help, while others turned around and ran outside to look for someone.

Du Anrao's worst fears came true. Just as the group helped the old lady out of the house, Qin Shouye and the villagers had already chased after her to the second floor.

"Aunt Sun, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." The nanny was so badly kicked by Amin that she couldn't straighten up. Her face was pale. "These people sneaked up while I was downstairs, trying to take your grandma away. They even hit me when I found out."

“This is outrageous! They’ve come to my house to kidnap people. Uncles, you all heard this. These outsiders are nothing but robbers and bandits. We can’t let them take my grandmother away like this.”

Grandma Qin knew that most of the villagers had been deceived and manipulated by Qin Shouye's family and had not participated in the imprisonment of her. So she stood up directly to rebuke Qin Shouye.

"Who's your grandma? You locked me up, imprisoned me, and abused me. Now you want to slander those who came to rescue me. You are the ones who are lawless!"

The villagers of Liujia Village, who were following behind Qin Shouye, looked at each other blankly.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Shouye's eyes, but his face showed anxiety and sadness: "My grandmother is old and has been mentally unstable for several years. She wanders around everywhere, so my parents are worried about leaving her alone at home and specially hired a caregiver to take care of her."

"She can't tell who's a good person and who's a bad one right now. These people must be taking advantage of that and deliberately saying things to sow discord and deceive her. Uncles, you absolutely can't let them take my grandma away. Who knows what they're going to do with her?"

Qin Shouye was an old acquaintance who had lived in the same village as these people for over twenty years, so his words were naturally more credible than those of these strangers from outside. The Liu family villagers, who had just been wavering, immediately switched sides.

“Shouye is right. No matter what they want to do, we can’t let them take the people away like this today.”

"Yes, leave them here."

"Leave the person here."

Du Anrao glanced at the number of people on both sides, frowned and reminded them, "Don't waste time arguing with them, hurry up and leave, otherwise there will be more and more people, and then we really won't be able to leave."

Before the words were even finished, the village chief's voice came from outside: "What's going on?"

A cacophony of footsteps followed, indicating that a large number of people had arrived.

In an instant, all eyes of Du Desheng and his group were focused on Du Anrao.

Du Anrao: "..."

No, it's common knowledge that whenever something big happens in the village, a whole bunch of relatives come to help, plus countless onlookers. It's just that you city dwellers, so out of touch with reality, are so naive. Why are you acting like I'm the one who brought this on? You're really making a fuss over nothing!

The crowd, who were used to such things, were speechless.
