Wen Rulan jumped up and down a few times and soon reached the fence, then went around the back of the house and soon appeared on the roof.

He slowly lifted the tiles of one of the rooms, took a look inside, and immediately his face changed. He gestured to Xiao Mubei and the others to come over, and he swooped down like a wild goose.

"Something happened." Chu Yunxi cried out softly. Xiao Mubei had already put his arm around her waist and rushed over using his lightness skills. Baiyu and Heimu followed closely behind. Chu Zhongxi and the purple-clothed guards stayed where they were.

Arriving at Chen's house, Xiao Mubei kicked open the gate and walked towards the room where Wen Rulan had just gone down. After kicking the door open again, he saw two men from the Chen family and two old women lying on the ground, crying and screaming. The woman from yesterday was tied to a pillar, her head tilted, motionless, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth and a circle of red marks on her neck.

Wen Rulan was kneeling beside a small crib, performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the baby inside.

As he did so, he shouted, "Chu Chu, save that woman."

Chu Yunxi didn't wait for him to say it a second time and quickly came to the woman. Baiyu Heimu helped her untie the rope and let the woman lie flat on the ground. The woman's face was blue and purple, and it was obvious that she was suffocated.

Chu Yunxi quickly undressed the woman's coat and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. She did it for a while, then gave her artificial respiration, and then continued.

Xiao Mubei and Baiyu Heimu tied up the four people on the ground. The two men were Chen Si, who pretended to be the woman's husband yesterday, and Chen San, who pretended to be the woman's brother. They did not see Chen Da, the most cunning man.

No one had ever seen the two old ladies.

"Where is Chen Da?" Bai Yu punched Chen San in the stomach, causing him to bend over. These people are so inhumane that they can even harm babies.

Chen San gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know."

Bai Yu punched him again, and he finally couldn't help but scream, and his body fell to the ground, looking like he was breathing in more than out.

Bai Yu's fist contained internal strength.

Seeing that Chen San was speechless, Bai Yu turned his gaze to Chen Si. Chen Si was so frightened by Chen San's appearance that his legs went limp. When he saw Bai Yu looking at him, he immediately said, "Boss, go... go to the county government office."

Xiao Mubei frowned, "Why go to the county government office?"

"Wang... County Magistrate Wang wants to ask him... to discuss... countermeasures."

At this moment, the woman's voice came from Chu Yunxi's side. She coughed violently and finally came back to life.

Chu Yunxi sat down on the ground exhausted and turned to look at Wen Rulan. He was still trying to rescue the baby, but looking at his serious expression, it was probably a dangerous situation.

The woman slowly woke up. When she first opened her eyes, she was dazed. Then her eyes gradually focused and she began to look around. "Tuantuan, where is my Tuantuan?"

She rolled over and climbed up, as if she didn't see the other people in the room. Her eyes finally fixed on the crib. She staggered over, pushed Wen Rulan away, and carefully picked up the child. "Tuantuan, Tuantuan, don't be afraid. Mom is here."

Chu Yunxi looked at Wen Rulan, who shook her head with a sad face. Anyone would feel sorry for such a young child.

The woman held the child in her arms, kissed the child's little face, and said softly, "Tuantuan, sleep well, don't be afraid, mother will protect you. Tuantuan is so good, not making any noise at all, mother will feed you in a while, okay?"

She gently rocked her arms, as if coaxing a child to sleep. The room was silent, and everyone watching this scene felt it was horrific.

Chen San's screams stopped and he had fainted. Chen Si and the two old women were trembling with fear and wished they could shrink into the ground.

Chu Yunxi walked behind the woman and said softly, "Tuantuan has fallen asleep. Let's put him down and let him rest for a while. Come, I'll help you."

The woman looked up at Chu Yunxi and said, "Tuantuan has fallen asleep. Let's keep our voices down so as not to wake him up."

Chu Yunxi knew that there was something wrong with her mental state. It was a mental disorder caused by strong stimulation. She might not be able to recover in a short period of time. She could only comfort her first and then treat her slowly. However, who would take care of her in the future? She might have to find her family.

After comforting the woman and putting the child in the crib, Chu Yunxi took her to another room to rest. The woman kept looking back at the crib. Chu Yunxi repeatedly assured her that she should call her immediately when the child woke up, and only then did she obediently follow Chu Yunxi away.

Everyone in the room was enduring with great difficulty. As soon as the woman left, Wen Rulan punched the ground, causing it to tremble.

Xiao Mubei could no longer hold back his fists and punched Chen Si in the face. Half of his face immediately swelled up. Xiao Mubei still held back, otherwise he might have killed him with one punch.

"Tell me, what did you do?" Xiao Mubei pulled over a chair and sat down, clenching his fists tightly, trying his best to control himself.

Chen Si whispered: "We... didn't do anything, it's just... they are no longer useful..."

"Useless?" Xiao Mubei became even angrier. "What do you think they are? Just a tool to blackmail others?"

Chen Si was too frightened to speak. Xiao Mubei looked at the two old ladies and asked, "What do you do?"

An old woman said tremblingly: "We, we are the ones who take care of this mother and child."

"Take care? Kill people." Wen Rulan spoke with red eyes. He felt extremely frustrated because he failed to save the child, which made him even more angry with the Chen family.

Wen Rulan said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, when I was watching from above just now, it was these two old ladies who covered the child with a quilt and suffocated the child to death. Chen San and Chen Si were strangling the child's mother. I hurried down, but I didn't expect to be a step too late."

The cold light in Xiao Mubei's eyes became even colder. "How could you have the heart to kill a tiny baby? Are you still human?"

The old ladies were too frightened to speak. Xiao Mubei turned to ask Chen Si, "Tell me the truth, how many mothers and children have you killed?"

Chen Si hurriedly cried out, "No, Your Majesty, this is really the first time. We were thinking of not doing it anymore, and we were afraid that this woman would go out and talk nonsense, so we were impulsive and wanted to kill them. In fact, I regretted it just now."

"First time? Do you think I will believe you?" Xiao Mubei sneered, "Chen Si, if you tell the truth, I can give you credit for your merit and let you keep your body intact. Otherwise, for the crimes you committed, being cut into pieces with more than 2,000 cuts is a light punishment. Don't worry, you will not die before all the flesh on your body is scraped off."

Chen Si was so scared that his legs went limp. Everyone smelled a strong odor of urine and he was so scared that he actually wet his pants.
