Lu Jianguo was the first to wake up. He was about to get dressed for work when he discovered that his wardrobe and the dressing table by his bedside had disappeared. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got out of bed.

Walk towards where the wardrobe used to be.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Lamei saw that the dressing table had disappeared, screamed, and turned her head to see that the wardrobe in the house was also gone.

She screamed in desperation, "That damned thief!"

All the treasures she had painstakingly tricked Jiang Linwan into giving away had vanished.

Her loud shout startled the neighbors, and many of them curiously climbed onto the wall to watch.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chengyu and Sun Shuyao in the next room also woke up.

As they got up to get dressed, they discovered that their hands were stuck together, and they were still completely naked.

"Ah! Chengyu, what's wrong with you?"

"Chengyu, is anything missing from your room?" Yao Lamei's heart sank when she saw that everything in the living room was gone. She quickly ran to her son's room.

He pounded on the door and shouted.

"Mom, please save me!" Lu Chengyu cried out anxiously.

Yao Lamei's heart skipped a beat when she heard her son's words. She reached out to push the door, but saw that it was locked. She became even more anxious and shouted to the man, "Jianguo, come here quickly! Our son has been locked inside by this thief!"

When Lu Jianguo saw the box containing the black notebook disappear, his face turned ashen, and a chill ran down his spine.

He was too busy taking care of himself to care about Yao Lamei at all.

Seeing that Lu Jianguo remained silent, Yao Lamei anxiously went outside to call for help to kick open the door.

As soon as the footsteps at the door disappeared, Lu Chengyu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mom, you absolutely mustn't let any outsiders into our house!"

But Yao Lamei had already disappeared. Soon after, a man entered the house, and the people who had been crowding outside to watch the commotion all squeezed into the yard.

Seeing Lu Jianguo standing motionless, his face deathly pale, they couldn't help but ask, "Jianguo, why aren't you calling the police? What are you standing there for?"

"Exactly, hurry up and send the police to catch the thief!"

After his initial panic subsided, Lu Jianguo forced himself to calm down. Putting aside how the thief managed to move all those large items out of the house without anyone noticing, he was surprised.

He couldn't call the police just because of that ledger. Losing something was a small matter, but if the ledger was discovered, he could go to jail.

He forced a calm smile and looked at everyone: "Thank you for your concern. This is just something that happened within our family, and it has nothing to do with thieves."

The crowd's eyes lit up even more as the door to Lu Chengyu's room was kicked open, revealing two pale, naked bodies.

"Ah! Close the door! Close the door!" Sun Shuyao met that gaze, her eyes turning red with anxiety.

Lu Chengyu was also very embarrassed, and quickly pulled her to hide by the bed.

"Oh my, isn't this Lu Jiaxin's son and cousin whom he recently recognized?"

These two are sleeping together, in broad daylight, without any clothes on. Aren't they ashamed?

"Hey, Lu Chengyu was just saying he wanted to go to Jiang Linwan, how come he's all naked and pressed together with Sun Shuyao now? Pah, so shameless."

Seeing this scene, Lu Qiyue turned to look at Jiang Linwan, who was sticking out her tongue to watch the excitement, and quickly reached out to block her view.

Jiang Linwan was suddenly plunged into darkness, the faint scent of soap stalks lingering around his nose, and he subconsciously tensed up slightly.

Hearing this, the crowd watching from behind pushed forward, and a force suddenly slammed into Lu Qiyue's back.

He swayed, unable to steady himself, and leaned towards Jiang Linwan in front of him.

His chest pressed tightly against her soft shoulder, and suddenly there was no space between them.

His other hand instinctively wrapped around her arm to steady her, while the hand that had been covering her eyes remained over her eyelids.

Warm breath fell on Jiang Linwan's ear, and the scalding body temperature penetrated through two thin layers of clothing, instantly enveloping her. She froze on the spot, her cheeks suddenly burning, and she instinctively held her breath.

At the same time, Lu Qiyue's figure also suddenly froze.

Having spent years in the military dealing with men, he had never been so close to a woman. The thin fabric offered no barrier, and the soft, warm touch of the girl was clearly imprinted on his chest. The subtle warmth of her body intertwined and enveloped him, making his heart inexplicably tighten.

The surrounding area was bustling with noise and chatter, but within their small space, it was so quiet that they could hear each other's slightly disordered breathing.

Within seconds, Lu Qiyue forcibly steadied his unbalanced body, his back slightly tense, and quickly took half a step back.

He released his hand from her eyes, the ripples in his eyes subsiding for a moment, returning to his usual cool and composed demeanor, with only a barely noticeable redness behind his ears.

He deliberately avoided her gaze, his voice slightly lower than before, carrying a hint of barely perceptible restraint: "Sorry, it was too crowded. I didn't mean to offend you."

Jiang Linwan lowered her long eyelashes, her delicate cheeks subtly warming: "No, it's nothing!"

"Stop looking, the scenes inside are inappropriate for children!" Lu Qiyue paused for two seconds, composed himself, and said, "I'll come with you after everyone leaves."

Not suitable for children? Jiang Linwan blinked, naturally knowing what was going on, but she wasn't interested in the two naked people either.

As Lu Qiyue left the courtyard, Jiang Linwan hesitated for a moment and looked up at Lu Qiyue: "Uncle, if, I mean if."

If you discover that your family members or relatives have committed heinous crimes.

Will you still uphold the law and punish them impartially? Or will you protect them?

"Jiang Linwan, have you broken the law?" Lu Qiyue frowned.

"I didn't, I just asked casually." Jiang Linwan glared at him. What was he thinking? She had already said that he was his family and relatives.

"There is no best. Even if my family members commit heinous crimes, I will punish them impartially."

But if it were this girl, he hesitated for a moment: "Since you've decided to marry me, we'll be family."

If you encounter any difficulties, please tell me.

Knowing that this little girl was exceptionally greedy for money, and that the family's situation wasn't as good as before, Lu Qiyue was afraid she would go astray. So, he took out the bankbook he had originally planned to give her in a few days and said with a serious expression, "This is for you."

"What?" Jiang Linwan looked down at the bankbook he handed her, her eyes full of confusion. "Why are you giving it to me?"

"After we get married, you'll be my wife. I don't usually spend much money, so you can take these and buy whatever you want."

Jiang Linwan was suddenly stunned, and when she looked up, her eyes were red.

Lu Qiyue, who was usually calm and fearless, panicked the moment he saw her like this: "W-what's wrong? Don't cry."

When his brothers in the army got married, didn't they all give their savings books to their wives?

Jiang Linwan looked at the thin yet heavy savings book, her pupils trembled slightly, and tears involuntarily fell.
