The Yuan family members were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly turned around with a fawning smile and said to Hu Li, "Lord, please calm down. Calm down. We’ll leave now. We’ll leave immediately."

After saying that, the Yuan family could no longer care about Yuan Shanchuan. They immediately ran to the entrance of the county office like rabbits.

They only stopped when they rushed out of the county office. They patted their chests and said, "It’s fine. It’s fine."

"We’re finally out. I almost thought I’d be locked up in there for the rest of my life."

"It’s all Fourth Brother’s fault."

"When he comes out, I will teach him a good lesson."

However, they waited outside the office for a long time but did not see Yuan Shanchuan come out. Instead, the people on the street were looking at them and pointing at them.

The Yuan family had been in there for a few days, and their bodies were in a mess. There were no conditions for them to bathe inside. In such weather, it was inevitable that there would be some strange smells.

They couldn’t take it anymore. They had wanted to wait for Yuan Shanchuan to come out and ask him to hire an ox cart to send them home.

However, when they did not see anyone, they began to feel uneasy.

"It can’t be that he’s not coming out, right? Could it be that Fourth Brother did something wrong?"

"It’s possible. The county magistrate should have investigated the matter thoroughly. Fourth Brother committed a crime and we have nothing to do with him. That’s why he was released, but he has to be locked up in prison."

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case. They felt that they had guessed the truth and immediately became worried.

"Let’s go, let’s go. This matter has nothing to do with us. When we go back, we’ll look for the village chief and cut off all ties with him."

Second Brother was a little hesitant. "Isn’t this a little inappropriate?"

"How is it bad? Think about what kind of life we’ve been living in there these past few days. Think about your wife and children at home. Who knew what kind of evil things he had done outside?"

The more they spoke, the angrier they became. They cursed and hurriedly left the city to go home with lingering fear.

Yuan Shanchuan was about to leave the office when he was stopped by Wang Hong.

He walked to Shu Yu and the others in two or three steps and said, "Lord said that there are still some things that he hasn’t finished speaking. He wants you to go over."

Yuan Shanchuan nodded. "Let’s go then."

Wang Hong and Hu Li led the way, while Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Sixing walked at the back.

Lu Sixing was supporting him, but she could feel his body swaying. She was a little worried and wanted to say something, but Yuan Shanchuan pinched her hand.

She looked up and saw Yuan Shanchuan shaking his head. "Don’t worry, it’s fine."

The few of them quickly walked to the lobby, where Wei Nan was sitting and waiting for them.

Seeing them come over, Xiang Weinan nodded slightly and said to Yuan Shanchuan, "I saw that you were anxious to see your family, so I didn’t stop you. Now that I’m free, I still want to ask about the specific details of this incident. You guys..."

He paused, looked at Daniu and Lu Sixing, and said, "You guys go outside and have a cup of tea first."

Daniu immediately understood that there were some things that they could not know.

He couldn’t help but glance at Shu Yu, who was still in the same place and helped Lu Sixing out.

Xiang Weinan then asked Yuan Shanchuan about the characteristics of the two groups of people who wanted to snatch the painting. Yuan Shanchuan actually could not see very clearly. It was late at night, and they were masked.

However, he had carefully recalled what he needed to say.

Xiang Weinan nodded. "It’s all thanks to you this time. You’ve done a great job. If you want any reward, you can tell me. I’ll satisfy you."
