A group of people quietly entered the courtyard and quickly dispersed silently into the various rooms. Regardless of whether anyone was inside, they all sprayed sedatives and only entered the rooms after confirming there was no movement.

"Unnecessary, where are you touching?"

"Xizi, these two young ladies are really pretty, how about..."

"Duyu, Xizi, what are you doing? Hutou wants you to gather in the yard right away."

"We're here," the voice said somewhat reluctantly, but they still gathered in the courtyard.

Once it was confirmed that no one was awake, Tiger Head began directing everyone to start digging, "Today we'll see how you perform, and see if we can find it as soon as possible..."

"Tiger Head, what if we still can't find it today?"

"Get lost! What discouraging things are you saying? Do you want to come here every day to poach my boyfriend?"

"I just feel that we've investigated enough these past few days. I'm afraid the secret of this house is no longer a secret, otherwise so many people wouldn't have come to buy it."

It's changed hands so many times, and this yard was dug up before, so if there was anything there, it would have been taken away long ago.

There's another possibility: there's nothing there at all, and everyone's been scammed.

"You talk too much, hurry up and use your strength."

"I told you over there to keep your voices down and not disturb the neighbors."

"Don't worry, these neighbors have already been given special 'care'; they won't even wake up during thunderstorms."

Immediately afterwards, the sound of digging filled the courtyard. Unfortunately, despite gathering so many people overnight and practically turning the entire courtyard upside down, they still couldn't find the so-called secret room.

Here, they also found traces of previous excavations by others. After all, the soil was too loose, and houses were built without being compacted, indicating shoddy workmanship.

"If all this soil is turned over, we're probably too late." He said this with a somewhat dejected look on his face. Returning empty-handed meant that all the promised benefits had likely gone down the drain.

Moreover, they traveled a long way and wasted so many days here; this deal resulted in a loss.

These people dug all night, and only when the sound of roosters crowing in the distance did they stop, looking exhausted.

"Looks like there really isn't any." Tiger Head checked again. The brothers really went all out tonight. They not only searched the ground, but also knocked down the walls again.

Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Tiger Head's lips twitched slightly. He guessed that the newly built house probably wouldn't last more than a few days.

He touched his nose. "It seems this family doesn't know anything. Let's go check on the previous buyer."

After saying that, he was about to leave with his men when Duo Yu and the others grabbed him. "Tiger Head, we've come all this way, it wouldn't be good to leave empty-handed."

Tiger Head glanced at the courtyard and said, "What else do you want? The courtyard is already in this state. If you don't leave it any space, you're just forcing people to die."

Even in the world of martial arts, there are principles; we can't push people too far.

Xi Zi rubbed his hands together. "Tiger Head, there are two pretty young ladies here..."

"Slap!" Before he could finish speaking, Xizi was slapped. "Take back your idea. We have to leave before dawn. If we alert the authorities, they won't be able to explain it to the outside world. We already discussed this with them beforehand."

"If you cause trouble now, and someone reports it to higher authorities, what will become of my reputation?" "Let's take them away..." Duo Yu was tempted by the sight of one of the young women, which was why he broke the three rules Hu Tou had agreed upon.

"Don't even think about it. You guys take those two with you. If you delay my business, I'll chop you all up."

After saying that, he left without looking back. The brothers behind him had no choice but to push them forward, and they couldn't help but whisper, "Why are you two doing this? Tiger Head hasn't treated us badly. He just took us to the brothel a few days ago. Once this job is done, you can redeem one of them without any problem."

"Hehe, we've come back empty-handed today. Do you think we'll be able to find the whereabouts of those treasures?"

If you were to acquire this wealth, would you still stay where you are?

Everyone fell silent. If it were them, they would have run far away long ago, changed their appearance, and been completely untraceable.

"Don't forget, there were also some itinerant merchants who bought these items. Those people have now disappeared and may even have returned to their home countries. How can we have the ability to cross borders and retrieve these items?"

I don't know what Tiger Head was thinking. Why can't we just enjoy life to the fullest?

"Stop talking," several people hurriedly pushed the extras out, "Tiger Head is doing this for us too, but there's no time right now."

Even if we bring those two young women along, it will be daylight by the time we get outside, which will definitely attract attention. We've already been high-profile enough in entering the city; we can't afford to cause any more trouble.

Nobody in this world is a fool. They're just afraid to confront us. But if we kidnap a young woman, do you believe the entire county will unite and prevent us from leaving?"

Xizi stopped Duoyu, who was about to speak, and said, "Everyone is right. We don't have the power to fight against the people of an entire city right now."

"Isn't it because the county magistrate is here? He's going to cooperate with us..."

“The county magistrate is also a human being. Even if he is… in any case, he certainly wouldn’t dare to go against the will of the people, otherwise his fate would be predictable.”

"Alright, stop talking, I'll leave, okay? Don't push me," Duo Yu cooperated this time. He was a womanizer, but he also valued his life.

……

Gu Baijiang hadn't slept so well since the incident at the Gu family. When he woke up, it was already bright outside. "Looks like I need to have a little drink. This good sleep makes me feel much more comfortable."

As he spoke, he sat up, stretched, and took a deep breath. He noticed the smell of earth.

Could it be that lazy second son? Did he go to the backyard to till the soil early this morning?
"If someone is this diligent every day, they might not be beyond help."

He put on his shoes and clothes, then prepared to go for a walk in the backyard, hoping to offer some praise and encourage the couple to keep up the good work.

But he had only taken one step when he realized something was wrong. He looked down and was shocked to find that the floor of his room had been completely turned upside down.

My scalp tingled instantly, and my whole body trembled. What on earth had happened?
Before I could figure it out, I heard a shrill scream coming from Xu Shuanghong and the others.

Frowning, he didn't even bother to think about what was going on in the room, and hurriedly went outside. What he saw was appalling: the entire floor outside had been turned upside down, and there were many holes in the walls.

"Broken by a thief?" That was Gu Baijiang's first reaction, but then he felt something was off. What kind of thief would turn the whole place upside down?
Thinking back to the dilapidated state of the house when they took it over, a chill ran down my spine...

"Master," Xu Shuanghong came out just in time to see Gu Baijiang standing there in a daze, and immediately rushed over, tightly gripping his icy hands, "What on earth happened?" (End of this chapter)
