After a few more words, seeing that the house was almost tidied up, the three of them left the place.

Before leaving, Wei Zhengqing also told Lin Jing that if he encountered any trouble, he could come to him at any time, as he would be at home for the next few days.

After seeing the three off, Lin Jing stood at the door and glanced across the street before closing the front door and returning inside.

Although it was pitch black across the street, Lin Jing knew that the Zhang brothers, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, were definitely observing the situation from the shadows.

However, now with Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing around, they dared not make any excessive moves.

“It seems that I will have to start preparing tomorrow.”

Early the next morning, Lin Jing left his house.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the Zhang brothers, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, also emerging from their yard.

Zhang Sen, upon seeing Lin Jing, walked over with a smile as usual and greeted him.

“Brother Lin, what a coincidence! Are you also heading out?”

‘Yes.”

Lin Jing didn’t really want to bother with them and intended to leave after giving a brief response.

Seeing Lin Jing about to leave, Zhang Sen quickly stepped in front of him and asked with feigned concern:

“Brother Lin, you don’t seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen? Do you need our help?”

A corner of Lin Jing’s mouth twitched as he thought:

“Asking them for help would be like searching for death with a lantern in a toilet.’

Lin Jing had seen through their intent as they had come to probe for information.

With this understanding, Lin Jing immediately had a countermeasure and said with a sorrowful expression:

“Not to hide it from Brother Zhang, my house was robbed last night, so I’m not in the best of spirits.”

Zhang Sen exclaimed in surprise, then asked with feigned concern:

“Brother Lin, are you alright? Did you lose anything important?”

Lin Jing replied, “You’re too kind to worry, Brother Zhang. Luckily I had my Storage Bag with me, and all valuable items were inside it, so I didn’t lose anything.”

“I didn’t expect Brother Lin to have a Storage Bag, that’s fortunate indeed.” Having said that, Zhang Sen advised:

“Brother Lin, the peripheral areas have been repeatedly attacked by Demonic Beasts lately, suffering heavy losses. Some people might take this opportunity to cause trouble; it would be better for you to be cautious.”

“Of course, if you encounter such a situation again, just come directly to us. As neighbors, we can certainly lend a hand.”

While talking, Zhang Sen turned his head to Zhang Lin and said:

“Don’t you agree, little brother?”

“Yes, yes…”

Zhang Lin nodded in agreement.

“Then, thank you, Brothers Zhang. I still have some matters to take care of, so

I’ll be leaving now.” “Brothers Zhang, see you later.”

“Safe travels, Brother Lin.”

After finishing, Lin Jing turned and left, the corner of his mouth curling into a sneer.

“The bait has been cast, now let’s see if you’ll bite.” After Lin Jing had gone, Zhang Lin spoke in a low voice:

“Big brother, he really has a Storage Bag, so what do we do…

Zhang Sen glared at Zhang Lin and gestured for him to be silent before saying:

“Let’s go, we’ll head back home.”

It was as if they had been waiting for Lin Jing; no sooner had they left the house than they returned.

Once back home, as soon as they entered the house, Zhang Sen scolded in a low voice:

“That Wei fellow and Ning Yue are still in their house, are you tired of living?”

“Sorry, big brother.”

Zhang Lin hung his head low and hastily admitted his mistake.
