After the phone rang several times, it was finally picked up by a female voice: "Hello, this is Lin's residence, who are you looking for?"

Ma Chao quickly responded: "I'm looking for Lin De'an. I'm a relative from his hometown."

At this moment, a boy's clear voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mother Kong, who is calling?"

When Lin Ruinian heard this familiar voice, his heart trembled violently, and then he suddenly shouted excitedly: "Brother, brother, I am Xiaonian!"

Then, a concerned voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Xiaonian, it's really you! When are you and mom planning to come over? Have you dealt with the matters with grandpa, grandma and aunt? By the way, how is mom's health now? Is she feeling better..."

The series of questions made Lin Ruinian a little overwhelmed, but he felt more deeply cared for and concerned about his brother.

However, when he wanted to answer, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could not make any sound. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

Seeing her nephew so sad, Lin Yuzhen took the microphone from him and said into it, "Xiao Xin, there are only me, Xiao Nian, and your newborn sister left at home."

When Lin Ruixin heard his aunt's slightly crying voice, his heart tightened, but he didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while.

He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why? Aunt, why do you stay in your hometown instead of coming with grandpa and grandma to visit us?"

Lin Yuzhen on the other end of the phone choked up and said, "Xiao Xin... those devils killed people in the city last night, and many innocent people suffered. Your grandparents and mother didn't escape the disaster either, they were all killed by those beasts!"

At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from the microphone: "Master, Master, what's wrong with you? Where are you going?"

However, before the servant could ask more questions, Lin Ruixin had already run out, and the servant could only ask the guards to chase him.

Lin Yuzhen talked into the microphone for a long time, and then the servant picked it up again. She quickly said, "I am Lin De'an's sister. Please tell my brother what happened at home. Tell him that my parents and sister-in-law have been killed by the devils. Now I and my two children are left alone at home. Ask him to send some people to pick us up as soon as possible."

After hearing the bad news, the servant suddenly realized why the young master ran out like a madman.

She quickly responded, "Okay Miss, I'll go find the master and tell him about this!"

Then he hung up the phone in a hurry and ran towards where the master was in a hurry.

After Lin Yuzhen hung up the phone, she knelt down in front of Jiang Jiyuan and the others. Jiang Jiyuan and Ma Chao quickly helped her up.

Jiang Jiyuan asked her, "If you have any questions, just tell us directly. We have a personal relationship with your eldest brother, and we will definitely do our best to help if we can."

Lin Yuzhen pleaded, "Thank you for saving this child. Can you please help bury my parents and sister-in-law? I am a woman with two children, and I have no way to support this little one. My ability is limited. Please help me."

"Okay, we'll help you, hurry up." Ma Chao quickly helped Lin Ruinian, who had knelt down with him, up.

Jiang Jiyun took out a can and the milk bottle that the baby had used before, put them in a cloth bag and gave them to Lin Yuzhen. "This is some milk powder that my uncle and I found from the Japanese. This milk bottle was found in a wealthy family. Give them all to my sister."

Lin Ruinian took the cloth bag and bowed to Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming to thank them. "Thank you. When my father comes back, we will definitely repay you."

Jiang Jiyun looked at the child and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "It was me who saved your father's life. Without me, your father would have died long ago."

Ma Chao and his companions took Lin Yuzhen and others to deal with their family's funeral, while Jiang Jiyun followed his brother, uncle, and Zhang An to find Xu Fan and Dong Duoyu.

They walked towards the east of the city for a long time and asked several people before they found Xu Fan's yard.

"Brother Xu's family is well-off. They own such a big house in the city. He is really Young Master Xu." Jiang Jiyun said to his brother while standing at the entrance of Xu's house, looking at the red gate.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister with envy and said, "Ms. Jiang, should we knock on the door and go in now?"

"Okay, knock on the door." Jiang Jiyun raised his hand and waved proudly.

Jiang Wenming walked forward with a smile on his face, raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.

However, he knocked several times in a row but still received no response.

"Huh? Is there no one at home today?" Jiang Wenming muttered to himself in confusion.

He knocked on the door a few more times, but still nothing happened.

So, he turned to look at Jiang Jiyuan and his niece behind him, and asked in confusion: "I have been knocking on the door for such a long time, why is there still no response?"

Jiang Jiyuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the situation either. He frowned and recalled, "When we went out of the city to look for you, Ma Chao clearly asked them to come back first to check the situation. Could it be that... this is not Xu Fan's home?"

Just when the three were feeling strange, they heard a slight "creak" sound, and the red door that was originally closed was actually opened from the inside.

"Xu Fan? So you are at home! We have been knocking on the door for so long, why didn't you open it?" When Jiang Wenming saw that the person who opened the door was Xu Fan, he immediately couldn't wait to ask.

Xu Fan took a deep breath and explained to them: "Uncle, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Something happened at home just now, and we were busy dealing with household chores, so we didn't notice anyone knocking on the door."

After saying this, he stepped aside to make way and invited Jiang Wenming and others to enter the yard.

Jiang Jiyuan held his sister's hand and followed Jiang Wenming into the Xu family's yard.

As soon as they entered the room, they were stunned by the scene before them. They saw several servants lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

Each of these servants had a pale face and some scars on their bodies.

Jiang Jiyuan and his sister widened their eyes and looked at Xu Fan in astonishment.

"Is this the case of the servants in your family bullying their masters?" Jiang Wenming asked, looking at the people on the ground.

Xu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jiang Wenming patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Every family has its own problems. Isn't it a bit inconvenient for us to come now?"

"what……"

Just as Xu Fan was about to answer, he heard a scream. The sudden sound frightened Jiang Jiyun so much that he trembled.

"I let you hit a woman, I let you occupy the magpie's nest and try to steal her property, I let you be arrogant..." Dong Duoyu's angry voice was also heard.

Jiang Jiyun's eyes lit up when he heard her words. There must be something fishy going on in Xu Fan's family!
