Chapter 322: 215 Fourth Master vs. Little Aunt, thinking it was a thief [New Year’s Message]_2

"I know."

"After you return, if the old man has any health issues, don’t take it lightly. Call and communicate with me immediately." With a heart of a doctor, Zhou Zhongqing repeatedly reminded Tang Wan before letting her leave.

Jiang Jinsang had Jiang Jiu stay by Tang Wan’s side; he was efficient in handling affairs, and would notify him promptly about anything. Even with packing luggage, his strength was a great help.

"Miss Tang, are you going straight home?" Jiang Jiu helped her carry a large bag of medicine.

"Let’s head to the nearby mall."

Since Tang Wan arrived in Beijing, she had been too busy to think straight. Going back to Pingjiang, she ought to bring some gifts for others.

At this moment, at the Jiang Family,

Tang Yunxian was packing luggage, while the old man leaned on his cane, wandering around nearby. He wanted to go home, yet he felt reluctant to leave. The Jiang Family was lively. Once they got home, the children would be busy, leaving him alone feeling somewhat deserted.

"Suddenly having to leave, I really don’t want to..." The old man walked up to Hua Mei, but he didn’t even feel like teasing the birds.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the community, a security guard was confronting a person fully wrapped up.

"Sorry, our community does not allow strangers to enter freely, especially during the New Year."

"I really know the person living inside, please make an exception."

"During the New Year, everybody says that!" The residents of the community were all wealthy and prestigious. Recently, there had been many people wanting to visit and bring gifts. Unless the homeowner had called ahead of time, or the face was familiar, no entry was permitted.

Moreover, not only was this person unfamiliar, but they also spoke awkward Mandarin, wrapped up tightly—only the eyes visible through goggles could be seen. If not for the voice, it would be hard to tell if they were male or female.

"I’ll take out my ID for you to record, that should be fine." As she spoke, she bent down to search through her bag in the cold weather, fumbling with gloved hands, which she then removed, and whatever little warmth was left was blown away by the biting wind.

"Brother, I’m really not a bad person. You can hold onto my ID if you like, and I can bring over someone who knows me to pick it up later. There’s also surveillance in the community, you can monitor me the whole time."

The security guard frowned, his expression softening a bit.

But the ID was tucked inside an inner compartment of the bag, and with the early setting of winter evenings, she could only search by the dim light of the street lamps.

At this moment, a roaring sound approached from afar, she glanced over and saw someone laying on a heavy motorcycle speeding along. The black motorbike under the streetlights looked like a dark night leopard, dangerous and reckless.

The security guard immediately lifted the barrier. As Jiang Chengsi drove past the entrance, he saw the person crouching on the ground searching for something. He slightly raised his eyebrows and slowed down as he passed by the entrance.

"Can you ride this kind of bike in Beijing?" She found her ID, and quietly asked the security guard.

"You definitely can’t inside the inner ring, and because it’s quieter now in Beijing, the traffic isn’t strictly regulated." The security guard took her ID, didn’t retain it, but registered all her information, and then asked, "Are you looking for the Jiang Family?"

"Yes."

"That person just now, didn’t you recognize them?"

"Just now?" She frowned slightly. "Should I know them?"

"It’s normal if you don’t recognize them; you don’t seem like a bad person either, so I’ll let you in. Our community has surveillance everywhere; we will be keeping an eye on you. If we notice any suspicious behavior, we will intervene immediately."

The community had experienced a stolen car worth over a million a few years ago, so the security guard was genuinely cautious.

"Thank you." She took her ID back, followed the guard’s directions, and continued forward.

She was unfamiliar with the area, so she naturally planned to exactly follow the security’s instructions and walk down the well-lit path to the deeper parts of the community.

Upon reaching the Jiang Family’s door, because it was dark and hard to see the house number from a distance, she hesitated to knock. After hesitating for a moment at the doorway, she took out her phone and made a few calls, all unanswered. She then cautiously moved forward two steps.

Passing through the courtyard, she quickly reached the Jiang Family’s door. The difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures was significant, and a layer of white fog covered the windows—clear glass or not, nothing inside could be seen. She could only walk up to the front door to confirm the house number.

This action...

was a bit sneaky.

Jiang Chengsi, just having parked his car and cleaned off some dust from it, was about to enter.

Since the Tang Family was leaving tomorrow and he couldn’t be there to see them off on the day, he bought a few things to bring over in advance, which wasn’t discourteous.

Before reaching the gate, a good distance away, he saw a person wearing a bulky down jacket, peering curiously at the Jiang Family’s entrance.

Jiang Chengsi held a helmet under his arm and carried a gift in one hand, while he tilted his head to examine the person at the entrance.

It seemed to be the same person who was stopped and checked at the security post earlier.

Dressed entirely in black and wearing a hat, scarf, mask, and glasses, it was impossible to tell whether the person was male or female. What were they snooping around for?

He placed the helmet and gift aside and stealthily approached. The person was so engrossed that, despite the usual sounds of the neighborhood, they didn’t notice someone approaching until a hand patted their shoulder.

"Hey—"

As if attacked, the instinctive reaction of the body to defend itself kicked in. She immediately grabbed the wrist of the person and subconsciously tried to pin him down.

But Jiang Chengsi moved quickly too. Thanks to the natural physical advantage of a man, he used a bit of strength in his wrist and broke free in an instant.

Seeing her resist and skilled, and with such high alertness, he instinctively tried to restrain her. He grabbed her shoulders. She was wearing too many layers, unlike Jiang Chengsi’s flight jacket, which inevitably restricted her movements. Pressed down by him, she tried to struggle instinctively.

And lifted her leg to kick him.

But with a long down coat, where could she raise her leg? Instead, it gave Jiang Chengsi a good laugh.

Frustrated, she was wearing too much and felt restrained. Wearing a mask made it even harder to breathe, so she simply tore off the scarf and mask.

Jiang Chengsi frowned, "A woman?"

Dressed like this, with such strength during the brief confrontations, he had thought it was a man!

However, Jiang Chengsi was quite unconventional and didn’t pay much heed to gender distinctions. He didn’t stop there.

Without a word exchanged and without knowing how they started fighting, she moved aggressively, and with too much force, suddenly, a "snap—" was heard. The down coat tore open at the armpit...

Instantly, down and feathers burst out!

This startled her, and she instinctively covered the torn area.

That’s when Jiang Chengsi grabbed her hand and pinned her down.

"Taking advantage of someone’s misfortune!" she accused, annoyed.

"I call it seizing the opportunity. Now tell me, who are you?"

"Who are you?"

"You don’t know who I am, and yet you’re peeping at our house?"

"Your house?"

...

At that moment, a car arrived, its lights sweeping over them, and Jiang Jiu squinted, noticing, "Fourth Master seems to be fighting with someone."

"Huh?"

Tang Wan was bending down examining a gift. Hearing this, she looked outside, but it was too dark to see more than silhouettes.

When she opened the door and stepped out, walking quickly towards them.

"Fourth Brother?" Tang Wan had grown somewhat familiar with Jiang Chengsi.

"Your sister-in-law is back."

Tang Wan took a closer look at the person he was holding down and couldn’t help but frown, "Auntie?"

Shen Shuci felt extremely aggrieved; she had never been held down like this in her life, feeling both urgent and annoyed.

"Your auntie?" Jiang Chengsi turned his head to look at her, "So small? I thought it was a thief."

So small? A thief? Shen Shuci’s face darkened completely.
