Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 501: Deserved Retribution

The young man looked about twenty-five years old, with delicate features, wearing blue jeans and a white shirt, giving a fresh and gentle appearance.

He just smiled at the words, "It’s been a while since we’ve had a meal together."

Gu Li looked at him suspiciously, his brow furrowed tightly.

At this moment, the long-distance bus bound for Jiang City had also arrived.

Wen Li, clearly there for the first time, lined up comfortably.

Seeing his cousin not following, he turned around with a smile and waved.

"You’re going to find Zhuo, right? Let’s go together, my treat."

Gu Li followed with a frown.

He suspected that his cousin had other motives, but had no evidence.

Looking again at that fair and clean face, he always felt there was something dark brewing underneath.

For some reason, he thought this cousin would get along well with his sister’s cousin, Gu Chi.

Jiangshui.

The Gu Mansion welcomed Si Huai.

Tuanzi busied herself serving lemonade, pastries, snacks, and fruit.

Seeing the dark circles under Si Huai’s eyes and the stubble growing, she said with concern, "Cousin, how long have you not rested?"

So busy that he didn’t even have time to shave.

"I can rest in the next couple of days."

Noticing another unfamiliar person at his cousin’s house, Si Huai stayed quite calm.

"Now that the previous case is completely closed, there’s something I can tell you."

Tuanzi tilted her head.

She glanced at Tantai Yi.

On that day in the countryside, her cousin had mentioned he could reveal a bit more about the case. According to protocol, unless she was a key figure in this case, she wouldn’t have the right to know those details.

But she didn’t know she was that key. Did she perhaps go sleepwalking one night and act heroic?

Thinking of this, Tuanzi covered her face in shock, "Miaomiao has a sleepwalking disorder?"

Si Huai’s usually sharp eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"How did this relate to sleepwalking disorder?"

After a pause, he sincerely suggested, "If you have similar symptoms, it’s best to get checked at the hospital, the sooner treated, the better resolved."

The system was also baffled.

Ancient Martial System: "You have a sleepwalking disorder? How come I don’t know about it?"

It had watched its host grow up. Back when the host was too young and ancient times too dangerous, it never went to sleep at night, keeping watch 24/7. It was only in modern times, with more people protecting the host, that it rested occasionally.

If the host had this problem, it should have noticed it a long time ago.

Tuanzi was stunned, scratching her head.

"Miaomiao doesn’t sleepwalk?"

The chubby little face was full of confusion.

The host was starting to let her imagination run wild again? The system suddenly thought of how, a few days ago, the host watched a TV drama with her second aunt, where one important character had sleepwalking disorder.

Was this a case of self-immersion?

The system sighed helplessly.

No wonder ’Big Brother’ often says to restrain the host, children really just imitate whatever they see, it’s impossible to let down your guard.

The misunderstanding was quickly resolved.

Si Huai was somewhat amused.

"If you really sleepwalked out at night, the security would have discovered it."

"No way!"

Tuanzi said confidently, raising her little head.

"Even if I did sleepwalk, Miaomiao’s martial arts skills are still intact, I’d just fly out and the security wouldn’t find me!"

Si Huai was helpless, seeing his cousin like this, she seemed quite proud?

"Do you remember when you were filming at Zhu Family Village? There’s an archaeological site nearby."

The last filming wasn’t long ago, so Tuanzi of course remembered Zhu Family Village.

She met her cousin Gu Zhuo there, discovered his troubles, and even caught a few tomb raiders!

Tuanzi proudly puffed out her chest.

"Miaomiao protected the ancient tomb and artifacts."

Across from her, the deputy team leader couldn’t hide his smile.

"Yes, you protected the ancient tomb and artifacts and also brought a key figure to the bureau."

Tuanzi’s eyes widened, "Could it be Hu Tou?"

The tomb raider nicknamed Hu Tou was once caught by her stealing things at a village supermarket, and later, while looting the tomb with accomplices, was discovered by her and her senior. That night she even played games with a few tomb raiders!

She only mentioned Hu Tou because that was the only nickname she remembered, not knowing the others’ information.

"It was one of his accomplices."

Si Huai explained plainly, "Among them there was a quiet person, specifically responsible for digging the tomb holes."

He was a low-key person who didn’t stand out in the team, skilled in digging tomb holes.

Generally speaking, a tomb may have several suitable places for digging tomb holes, but that night he specifically pointed out the best place for a tomb hole was near the entrance of the ancient tomb, that there was no need to dig a hole, as he had a way to sneak a few people in.

The leader listened to him and didn’t dig a hole.

Later, when the police reviewed, they found this quiet tomb raider did it on purpose to get caught.

The soft pink mouth slightly opened.

Tuanzi thought hard, then suddenly clapped her hands.

"Did he possess a major clue, maybe in danger, wanting to seek protection?"

Si Huai chuckled, "You’re quick, and very clever."

"Hehe~"

Tuanzi giggled to herself.

"I also think I’m very smart."

The rest of the issue, Si Huai glossed over.

But Tuanzi understood, essentially, that quiet tomb raider once infiltrated a small antiquities smuggling group and accidentally found out that behind this small group there was a larger organization.

Coincidentally, one day the high-level members of that large organization disguised themselves as ordinary people to mix in, and only he saw that they weren’t ordinary. Later, the route for the small group’s smuggling of artifacts changed, heading overseas.

The quiet tomb raider felt the waters were too deep, and he was just a low-level member, so he later left the small group.

Not long after, quite a few people in the small group were silenced, and he was scared, hoping to take advantage of the tomb raiding to get caught by the police.

"If he exposed himself by getting caught, he could have been punished or even silenced by his boss. He was always troubled about how to leave evidence without being detected. In the end, that night, your heroic actions led to their entire capture and he’s been grateful to you ever since."

With small paw scratching her head.

Tuanzi whispered, "It’s weird being appreciated by a criminal."

Soon, her eyes lit up again.

"Does cousin have time to come over because you’ve taken down the whole organization?"

Si Huai nodded lightly.

Tuanzi beamed with joy.

"That’s good! Selling our country’s antiquities abroad, their brains must have issues, their hearts filled with money!"

Si Huai suspected his cousin was trying to say ’driven by greed’, just unable to phrase the idiom correctly.

He nodded in agreement, "Making money against one’s conscience, only to end up dead without spending it."

Several masterminds were particularly serious offenders and would inevitably receive life sentences. According to the rules, all the profits gained through the smuggling of antiques were confiscated.

Tuanzi clapped happily, her little legs swinging wildly.

She especially loved seeing the villains receive their rightful punishment.

"By the way, I came to see you," Si Huai said somewhat awkwardly, but continued softly, "because my mom is coming back soon, and..."

Before he could finish, Tuanzi excitedly jumped over.

"Auntie is coming back? Can Miaomiao meet her?"
