A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

[Squeak, does your little master, Warm Warm, need anything?]

[Hehe, I'm right here in the tree outside, waiting for your orders!]

Nuannuan whispered to them, "Little Blackie, you two go to the forest and ask around. See what's going on with that piece of wood Second Brother mentioned? Has anyone seen the bad guy? And where is Second Brother now?"

The little mice squeaked in response and quickly disappeared into the corner. Little Black called out from outside the window, flapped its wings, and flew away.

"Big brother!" Nuan Nuan looked at Gu Da'an, who was sitting next to her, holding a radio and lost in thought.

"Hmm?" Gu Da'an looked up and made a sound.

"Big brother, can you take Nuannuan to the forest farm? Nuannuan wants to help out," Nuannuan whispered, clutching Da'an's sleeve.

Gu Da'an paused for a moment but did not refuse. He put down the radio and nodded.

Although Gu Jianguo and Su Xiulan were worried, they didn't stop Nuannuan because she was so determined, knowing that Nuannuan had her own way.

"Da'an, you have to keep a close eye on Nuannuan. Don't let her run around or get hurt!" Su Xiulan held Gu Da'an's hand and repeatedly reminded him.

Gu Da'an nodded vigorously, indicating that he would protect his younger sister.

Gu Jianguo borrowed a bicycle from the brigade leader's house.

"Da'an, ride slowly, don't bump into your little sister!" Gu Jianguo said again as he helped Nuannuan onto the back of the bicycle.

Gu Da'an rode his bicycle, with Nuan Nuan sitting behind him, her body pressed tightly against his back. The night breeze felt cool on their faces.

They quietly arrived near the forest farm. The forest farm was closed for the day and no one was guarding it. Gu Da'an found a quiet place to hide the bicycle and hid behind a big tree with Nuan Nuan.

Xiao Hei returned quickly, arriving in less than half an hour. Nuan Nuan reached out and touched Xiao Hei's feathers, noticing a wood shaving in his mouth.

【Giggle, little master, I've found out!】

Little Black squealed as it placed the sawdust in Nuannuan's hands.

[Squeak squeak squeak, Warm Baby, we've found you!]

Several little mice also crawled out and squeaked around Nuannuan.

As Nuannuan listened to Xiaohei and the little mice's reports, her brows gradually furrowed.

The second brother wasn't lying; the pile of wood wasn't stacked properly and was wobbly, and someone had tampered with the ropes on it.

Little Black asked the other birds, and one of them in the tree saw a figure sneakily moving the pile of wood before his second brother went to help it up. After that, the wood collapsed.

Moreover, the mice said they smelled a familiar scent, the scent of Zhang Sandong.

Zhang Sandong and another man in uniform secretly transported the red pine log away and hid it in an abandoned house at the very back of the forest farm.

Nuannuan clenched her fists tightly. This bastard did it on purpose!

"Big brother, let's go take a look!" Nuannuan tugged at Gu Da'an's sleeve.

Gu Da'an nodded and, with Nuan Nuan, quietly made his way to the abandoned hut the little mice had mentioned. The door to the hut was locked, but through the cracks, it was clear that it was very dark inside.

Nuannuan pressed her nose against the crack in the door and smelled a pine scent. The little mice were right; the red pine was inside!

Nuannuan also heard from the little mice that her second brother had been taken to the forest farm's security office and was now locked in a small room, with no one visiting him.

……

In the forestry station office.

Zhang Sandong sat in a chair with his legs crossed, a smug smile on his face, while Zhang Aidi rubbed her hands together in front of him, her face full of flattery.

"Brother San Dong, I really didn't expect your move to be so brilliant! The Gu Jianguo family is finished this time!" Zhang Aidi beamed with joy.

Zhang Sandong exhaled a smoke ring and sneered, "That's right! They're still too green to mess with me! Now that we've sent Gu Xiaoan in, let's see what they can do then!"

"But is there really no flaw in this?" Zhang Aidi was still a little worried, so she leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What if it gets discovered?"

"Found out?" Zhang Sandong curled his lip. "What could they find out? I'm the forestry team leader. I've already taken care of the security department. Gu Xiaoan stole the red pine wood; the evidence is overwhelming!"

He paused, then added, "That kid's really lucky to be alive. But it's good, at least he's alive to cause trouble for his family!"

Zhang Aidi listened to his detailed and convincing story, and most of her worries dissipated. She knew that Zhang Sandong had been in the forest farm for so many years and was very ruthless.

"Third Brother is right!" Zhang Aidi said with a smile. "How's Xiaoyong's situation?"

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of Xiaoyong's job!" Zhang Sandong waved his hand and smiled. "Once Gu Xiaoan goes in, his position will naturally be Xiaoyong's. We've done what's right, setting things right!"

Zhang Aidi smiled and her eyes narrowed. Now her son, Gu Xiaoyong, could officially get a permanent job and have a secure job. This was a good thing she had been looking forward to!

She thought that once she sold Gu Nuannuan and got that money, she could live a good life!

Zhang Aidi's smile widened as she pulled a wad of bills from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Sandong.

"Brother San Dong, this is the deposit we agreed on before. Once that girl makes her move, I'll give you another hundred yuan as a reward!"

Zhang Sandong took the money, weighed it in his hand, and stuffed it into his pocket. He looked at Zhang Aidi with greedy eyes. One hundred yuan was no small sum. It would be worth sending Gu Xiaoan to jail for this money.

"Don't worry, with your brother San Dong handling things, what else could you possibly worry about?" Zhang San Dong patted his chest confidently. "Just wait and see the show; Gu Xiaoan will be lucky to escape with his life!"

He thought he had done a good job, but little did he know that a tiny mouse was peeking out of its hole in the corner and could hear everything clearly!

"Big brother, let's go home first." Nuannuan had an idea and pulled Gu Da'an away. The two hadn't gone far when, just as they reached the small grove outside, several mice darted out of the grass, squeaking loudly.

[Squeak squeak squeak, Warm Baby, we've heard some new news!]

【Gah gah, little master, there's still me here!】 Little Black landed on my shoulder, flapping its wings incessantly.

Nuannuan stopped and leaned in to listen to the little mouse and Xiao Hei's report, her little face tense.

The kids overheard Zhang Sandong and Zhang Aidi's conversation in the office. Zhang Sandong wanted to frame his second brother and even wanted Zhang Aidi's son, Gu Xiaoyong, to take his brother's place at the forest farm. They had even prepared witnesses and evidence, just waiting to pin the second brother down as a thief.

"Big brother, those bad guys wanted to hurt second brother, and they even wanted to lock him up!" Nuannuan clenched her fists angrily, looking up at Gu Da'an with a trembling voice. "They even wanted Gu Xiaoyong to replace second brother! That's too much!"

Gu Da'an understood his sister's words, reached out and touched Nuannuan's head gently, but his eyes were extremely cold.

He would never let his brother get away with wrongly accusing him and still expect benefits!
