"You may also choose not to agree, but I should tell you that your second uncle will be executed at the vegetable market tomorrow!"
Chu Yu seed to ntion it casually, while Han Tianci looked at him, puzzled.
Puzzled because Chu Yu had clearly promised to handle the matter, so why was he now asking Xing Keshou for the Treasure Map?
Xing Keshou looked at Chu Yu in astonishnt.
"Beheaded..."
Although he had known it was coming, hearing it now still made it hard to bear.
The Treasure Map was indeed in his hands, but it was the Xing Family’s heirloom, the foundation upon which the Xin Family’s existence was built.
But if he didn’t hand it over...
After hesitating for a long ti, Xing Keshou finally said, "Fine!"
After thinking for a bit, he added, "But the Treasure Map isn’t in my possession right now!"
"No matter, since you’ve agreed to give it, I will trust you," Chu Yu said, and then he left the room with Han Tianci.
Xing Keshou leaned against the head of the bed, unable to snap back to reality for a long while.
Han Tianci followed Chu Yu, noticing his grim expression. He thought about giving Chu Yu the purse several tis but couldn’t bring himself to do it.
He could only cling to Chu Yu as they reached the Xiu Family ho.
Upon arrival, he saw that the backyard was on fire. Xiu Bingsheng was really anxious because Mrs. Liu had gone missing.
After searching the entire Governor’s Office, there was no sign of her.
"Master, master, news from the Governor’s Office—soone has broken into the prison!"
Xiu Bingsheng’s eyes widened, "What?"
"Soone has broken into the prison!"
Xiu Bingsheng suddenly thought of the missing Mrs. Liu, "Quick, deploy the troops to the cells, we cannot let the prisoners be taken!"
"Yes, master!"
Xiu Bingsheng imdiately led his n to the Governor’s Office, not even caring about the fire in the backyard anymore.
As Xiu Bingsheng left.
Han Tianci on the roof tugged at Chu Yu’s sleeve, "Brother Chu, he’s taken his n away!"
Luoyi ca over quickly, "My lord, all the people hiding in the shadows have been dealt with!"
Chu Yu nodded, "Hmm, let’s head to his study!"
Together with Han Tianci, he quietly snuck into Xiu Bingsheng’s study.
This ti, it was not just the two of them but also Luoyi and a dozen others she brought with her.
"Take all the valuables with you!"
At Chu Yu’s command, Luoyi and the others swiftly wrapped the valuable items in cloth. He then felt around the room, and with a click, a door opened in the wall, revealing a secret chamber filled with treasures.
"Wow..."
Han Tianci’s eyes widened.
So many treasures.
Chu Yu, however, was calm, "Move them!"
"Yes!"
Luoyi gestured, and imdiately people entered, wrapped up the treasures in cloth, and began to pack.
A few packed while others carried the loads away.
Han Tianci’s eyes were wide open as he watched people going in and out, emptying the secret chamber.
"Brother Chu!"
"Let’s go!"
Chu Yu, holding Han Tianci, quickly left the study and climbed onto the rooftop, only to notice that Xiu Bingsheng and his n had returned.
That was close, lucky to have run fast.
Han Tianci patted his chest, thinking how embarrassing it would have been to get caught.
Watching him, Chu Yu chuckled, taking Han Tianci back to the inn. They didn’t go straight to their room but sat on the rooftop, enjoying the cool breeze.
"What’s wrong? Scared?"
Han Tianci shook his head, "Not scared, just a bit nervous!"
This was his first ti experiencing anything like this. It was strange, nerve-wracking, yet thrilling.
A completely new experience.
"You’ll get used to it gradually. If you like it, you can follow in the future. I’ll show you more strange and fun things," Chu Yu offered.
Han Tianci looked at Chu Yu.
Because he was Yun Jinnian’s younger brother, Chu Yu doted on him, playfully ruffling Han Tianci’s hair, "But the prerequisite is you must learn your skills well. Then, you won’t just be helping ; at the very least, you’ll be able to protect yourself!"
