"As soon as I heard that, I knew it wasn't you guys coming back to fetch something—this was clearly a thief breaking in! I didn't think twice; I charged right in. But since I didn't bring a candle, it was pretty dark inside, and I had no clue where those two were. Anyway, I just yelled out, 'Catch the thief!' Before I finished shouting, someone from behind knocked me out cold."
Snort!
Someone couldn't hold back a laugh. Lin Yuan, seeing Meng Liangdong's guilty face, quickly covered her mouth and coughed twice to mask it.
"Alright, Mr. Meng, you were scared stiff last night. Go rest in the back," Lin Yuan gave Liuzi a nod, and he immediately stifled his laughter, helping Da Niu take Meng Liangdong to his room in the backyard.
Once Meng Liangdong had left, Lin Yuan glared at Xia Zheng who was all animated and harrumphed as a warning.
