I trade in both worlds

Xu Lai Li and Xu Lai Zi were bewildered. They had clearly seen Xu Xu working at home in the afternoon, so how come there was no one there now?

"Master Yang, I don't know why they are not at home." Xu Lai Li explained carefully, "I came to see him in the afternoon. The gate of his house was open, and Xu Xu was still working in the yard."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sheng stabbed Xu Lai Li with a dagger-like gaze: "Are you sure?"

Xu Lai Li was startled by Yang Sheng's eyes and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

"How is it possible?" Yang Sheng was secretly suspicious in his heart, and his eyes swept back and forth in the empty house, trying to find a clue: "Could it be that they have already anticipated our actions?"

Seeing this, Xu Laizi was also panicked, but he still tried to remain calm and asked, "Master Yang, what should we do next?"

Yang Sheng hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashed with determination: "Search, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find the person."

He waved his hand to signal the guards to continue searching, while he himself carefully searched every corner of the house for clues.

At this time, Xu Xu was preparing to go to bed, but he remembered the homework book that Xu Tiantian left at home, although she had agreed to go back and get it tomorrow morning.

However, she was always a little worried that Xu Tiantian would forget, so she decided to go back and get the homework book for Xu Tiantian.

When Xu Xu quietly returned to his ancient home, he unexpectedly witnessed this thrilling scene.

As soon as she returned to Dayun Dynasty, Xu Xu vaguely heard a low conversation coming from the main hall. Her heart suddenly tightened and she quickly dodged to the wall. She hid in the utility room, feeling terrified.

She quietly stuck her head out and saw Xu Lai Li and Xu Lai Zi bowing their heads to a man. Since the man had his back to her, she couldn't see his true face.

Xu Xu was so frightened that he unconsciously moved closer to the wall, afraid of making the slightest sound.

Suddenly, Yang Sheng seemed to realize something and turned around.

His sharp eyes swept around and finally stopped in the direction of the utility room.

Yang Sheng's heart trembled. He waved his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then he tiptoed towards the utility room.

He held his breath and listened quietly. Sure enough, the subtle sound came again, as if there was someone inside.

Xu Xu quickly retracted her head, her heart pounding with fear.

When Xu Xu heard Yang Sheng's footsteps getting closer, a strong sense of fear surged in his heart.

She quickly pressed her hands on the door frame of the utility room and, with the help of the mysterious power, returned to the modern era.

Yang Sheng came to the door of the utility room, but felt that the subtle breath suddenly disappeared.

He was startled and quickly quickened his pace, stepping into the empty utility room. However, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find anyone.

"What's going on?" Yang Sheng muttered to himself, but he was still unwilling to give up.

He waved his hand to signal the guards to continue searching, while he once again carefully examined every corner of the house.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they got nothing.

In desperation, Yang Sheng had to retreat to Xu Laizi's house with his guards. His face was as gloomy as water, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger.

"Go to the village tomorrow and see where they are." Yang Sheng said to Xu Laizi, his voice full of unquestionable authority: "Also, find out who Xu Xu has been in contact with, and whether someone has helped her hide the child."

Xu Laizi nodded, but he was secretly grumbling in his heart. It was as if Xu Xu and her son had disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no clues behind.

He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that he would gain something tomorrow, otherwise, Yang Sheng’s anger would be something they could not bear.

However, they did not notice that after they left, a black shadow jumped into Xu Xu's home silently like a ghost, then quickly jumped out and disappeared into the night.

Not long after, at the top of Lingshan Mountain, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew high, rushing towards the direction of the capital.

On the other side, Xu Xu returned to the modern world, her heart still beating hard to calm down. She thought of the scene just now, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. If she hadn't come back in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Bang, bang, bang!" When Xu Xu opened the door, he accidentally used too much force, causing a loud crash.

The loud noise woke up Xu Jin and Xu Zhun who were sleeping soundly. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and walked out of the room. Seeing Xu Xu pale and trembling all over, they couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Sister, what happened?" Xu Jin asked cautiously, his eyes full of worry.

Xu Xu's lips trembled as she told them everything she had just heard. Although her voice was low, every word hit the two people's hearts like a heavy hammer.

"These people are really crazy." Xu Zhun gritted his teeth and said with anger flashing in his eyes: "They actually dared to climb over the wall and kidnap people in the middle of the night. We must not let them succeed."

"If we were a few years older, we would have taken the imperial examination and achieved success earlier. How dare they bully us like this?" Xu Jin clenched his fists.

Xu Xu looked at the angry and helpless expressions of his two younger brothers, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She patted their shoulders gently and comforted them: "Xiao Jin, Xiao Zhun, don't be angry. It's those people who are despicable and shameless, not our problem."

The group of people who didn't find Xu Qiwei tonight will definitely not give up easily. They will definitely take action again.

Xu Qiwei is their main target, so it is best not to show up in Xu Zhuang for the time being.

"I'll go back tomorrow morning to check on the situation. You two should be careful these days and try not to act alone." Xu Xu said in a deep voice: "Those people should come again in the next two days. We need to talk to Second Grandpa and Second Uncle about this as soon as possible."

"Okay, we got it." Xu Jin and Xu Zhun agreed in unison.

"In addition," Xu Xu added, "there are also the brothers Xu Lai Li and Xu Lai Zi. They actually teamed up with outsiders to bully us. This time, we must make this pair of evil brothers pay the price they deserve."

"Yes, we must make those evil brothers pay the price they deserve!" Xu Zhun agreed with gritted teeth, his heart filled with hatred for the brothers Xu Lai Li and Xu Lai Zi.

After discussing countermeasures, the three returned to their rooms. However, everyone's hearts could not calm down for a long time.

The next morning, Xu Xu got up early and prepared to go back to Xu Zhuang to check the situation.

She told Xu Qiwei and Xu Tiantian not to return to Xu Zhuang for the time being to avoid danger.

"Mom, I won't go back." Although Xu Qiwei was young, his expression was very determined.

Xu Tiantian was a little scared and hugged Xu Xu's arm tightly: "Mom, will you be okay when you go back?"

Xu Xu gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Tiantian, Mom will be fine. I will bring your homework book back later."

After saying that, Xu Xu prepared to turn around and leave.
