Before Mrs. Cheng could finish what she was trying to say, Cheng Biyuan knew what she meant. He said in a very decisively manner, “Yuqin, don’t think too much. It’s no use to keep hiding. Why would we want to continue to hide if we can guard what we have? Besides, do you think our hiding had really done us any good?”

“Ye, I understand that. I just don’t want to see any other misfortunes in this house!” Mrs. Cheng looked concerned, and her voice lowered.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t understand what she was saying, but Cheng Biyuan did. Sternly, he said, “Accident? What accident? Is it really an accident? That’s us being weak and couldn’t guard what’s ours. We had no choice but to cower and survive. Why do we have to keep hiding? We have the ability now? Not only are we not hiding, I want to tell everything that I, Cheng Biyuan, is no pushover. I will get back from them what was ours!”

“….” After the words full of anger and oppression, Mrs. Cheng nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Cheng Xiao Xiao did not take this opportunity to ask her parents any questions. What her father said was enough. Now was not the time to find out why everything happened. When they are strong enough, they would go take back what was rightfully theirs.

Inside a room in Lai Yue1 Inn.

“SMACK!”

A clear sound of a slap resounded from the living room, a hand print appeared on Innkeeper Zhu’s cheek. Deacon Lin had the cold look of ice, he stared at the person who dared not say a word in front of him with a piercing look. Coldly, he said, “We have given you three days. You want to go and confess your own crime or you want me to do it for you?”

“I…” said Innkeeper Zhu with a deep face, embarrassed and angry, and also deeply worried. He turned to the other person for help, “Deacon Bai, I really had no leads to their whereabouts.”

“Then you brought this upon yourself!” Shouted Deacon Lin angrily.

Deacon Bai, who hadn’t spoken a word yet, didn’t look any happier. After all, they have been here for a few days and had nothing to show for it. It’d be lying to say he wasn’t angry. They would need to report back to their master one way or another.
