"I don’t know if she saw it or not."
Nevertheless, Chen Jie still hoped she hadn’t seen it. Chen Jie dragged the two bodies to a corner, found an old straw mat someone had thrown away, and covered them with it.
From the outside, you couldn’t tell that someone had died there.
After dealing with the bodies, Chen Jie went to Ruirui.
He found the little guy was acting normal, which likely meant he hadn’t seen the murder.
So, he took Ruirui home. When they reached the threshold, Chen Jie didn’t knock but instead flew with Ruirui onto the wall, and then saw Su Yunjin anxiously looking outside in the courtyard.
She had heard the scream earlier.
Moreover, she was about to go outside when she heard men talking, which made her panic.
She held a rolling pin in her hand, her nervousness evident.
When Chen Jie flew onto the wall, she was startled, but upon seeing him, especially Ruirui, her heart settled.
Joy was unmistakable in her eyes.
"Ruirui."
"Brother-in-law..."
Ruirui tried to speak but was silenced by Chen Jie covering his mouth.
Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie in astonishment.
Hitting the ground, Chen Jie checked the time; it must be close to midnight.
"Wife, I’ve brought Ruirui back."
Grateful, Su Yunjin glanced at Chen Jie and then hugged Ruirui tightly.
She started to cry.
Ruirui, confused, looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Sister, why are you crying?"
"It’s nothing, maybe she just missed Ruirui," said Chen Jie.
"Oh, sister, Ruirui missed you too," said Ruirui.
At that moment, Su Yunjin, wiping away tears, asked, "Ruirui, did those bad people hit you?"
"No."
Ruirui shook his head and said, "They were actually quite fun."
"Fun?"
Su Yunjin and Chen Jie looked at him in amazement.

"Yes, there was this silly uncle who was very mean. He chopped off a young man’s limbs to scare us..."
Hearing this, Su Yunjin clenched her fists, the mere detail chilling to the bone.
But Ruirui was unafraid and continued, "He even gouged out that young man’s eyes..."
"Stop, Ruirui, aren’t you scared?"
Su Yunjin couldn’t bear it, while Ruirui said, "What’s there to be scared of? He didn’t chop off my limbs..."
"What?!!"
Stunned by his words, Chen Jie and Su Yunjin were bewildered. Although Daisy’s logic seemed sound, the situation was terrifying. How could not being the direct victim make one fearless?
Chen Jie then realized this little one was indeed different.
Following that, Chen Jie asked, "Earlier, outside, did you see your brother-in-law dealing with those two men?"
"I saw it. Those bad people were killed by brother-in-law," said Ruirui.
Su Yunjin anxiously looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie finally confirmed that it wasn’t that Daisy hadn’t seen the killing; it’s that her tolerance was much greater than that of normal people.
In a more civilized future, one would need to consult a psychologist; however, in this dog-eat-dog world, it didn’t seem to be a bad thing.
Su Yunjin continued listening to Daisy’s adventures.
"Wife," said Chen Jie.
"Yes, husband."
Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie, who said, "Pack your valuables, we can’t stay here tonight."
"Ah?"
Su Yunjin paused, then quickly responded, "Alright, I’ll go now."
"Hurry."
"Yes, husband."
Su Yunjin did not know exactly what had happened, but upon his word, she chose to comply instead of asking why, trusting her husband unconditionally.
She quickly went inside to pack.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie frowned deeply.
It was clear they couldn’t stay here tonight. Since he had killed Feng San, Feng San surely would seek vengeance. And Feng San’s strength, as Wu Hong had mentioned, was believed to be above his own.
Moreover, needing to protect Su Yunjin and Ruirui made facing him imprudently dangerous.
Hence, he planned to take his wife and sister to White Tiger Hall for refuge.
Once inside White Tiger Hall, whether it was Feng San or Feng Er, no one could hurt them, with Peng Shizhong, one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, ensuring their safety.
So they must leave quickly.
Chen Jie made a plan to hide in White Tiger Hall tonight.
However, as he solidified his plans and waited for Su Yunjin, an alert from the information system suddenly rang beside his ear.
