The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

A big drama has come to an end, but people on the streets are still talking about the exam cheating case that was involved in the current case.

Chu Ning'an accompanied Ru Yue out of the government hall and listened to the discussions of people on the street. The two did not feel relieved after the rain, but instead felt a sense of heaviness.

"The person behind this must be An Binghuai!" Ru Yue gritted her teeth, her anger evident in her words. She widened her eyes, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"An Bingsong and Zheng Danian would rather risk ruining their own bright futures than turn An Binghuai in. This shows how ruthless and scheming he is. We must be extremely vigilant in our future actions and must not let our guard down!"

Chu Ning'an looked at Ru Yue with a serious expression, not trying to downplay the matter out of an attempt to appease her. On the contrary, he was fully aware of An Binghuai's danger, so he pointed this out solemnly, hoping to gain Ru Yue's attention.

Ru Yue stood quietly on the street, her gaze slowly sweeping over the bustling crowd. Her eyes were hazy, her thoughts drifting back to the day of the provincial examination. The fleeting turquoise figure on the street corner seemed to still linger before her eyes, and the scraping sound of silver ingots in the crowd today made her heart tighten.

This person is truly sinister and vicious to the extreme! Ru Yue couldn't help but curse inwardly. Just because they didn't make friends with him at the inn, he resorted to such despicable means to deal with them. His narrow-mindedness and viciousness are simply beyond imagination.

Thinking of this, Ru Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm her agitated emotions. However, the pent-up anger in her chest wouldn't dissipate. She shook her head helplessly, smiled wryly, and said, "Never mind, since the feud has already been formed, I'm sure he won't let it go. I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future..." After saying this, she sighed deeply, a hint of worry and uneasiness in her eyes.

Chu Ning'an calmly extended his arm, deftly separating the pedestrians who were rushing through the street, nearly bumping into Ru Yue. His movements were gentle and natural, as if they were all automatic. Then, he firmly grasped Ru Yue's hand and led her through the bustling crowd. The handsome man, the charming woman, looked like a perfect match, drawing the attention of many passersby.

From time to time, people around them cast curious and envious glances at them, some even stopping to stare, but Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue didn't feel the slightest bit uneasy. They were calm and composed, their steps firm, as if they were already accustomed to being the center of attention.

"Although the An family is wealthy and powerful, and can be considered a wealthy family in the eyes of outsiders, it is, in the final analysis, no more than a business family. In official circles, the people they make friends with are nothing more than people with similar interests. These relationships are very shallow and not solid at all. To me, the An family's influence in official circles is not enough to pose a real threat. However, what I am worried about is that they may make dirty moves in the business world and deliberately create trouble for you." Chu Ning'an frowned slightly and said solemnly.

Ru Yue gently grasped his warm hand, feeling the strength and warmth it transmitted. Then, slowly turning her head, her gaze etched with watery rapt attention to his picturesque, delicate features. For a moment, it felt as if all the surrounding noise and chaos had faded, leaving only the indescribable tacit understanding and affection between them. Gazing at his handsome face, Ru Yue's mood softened like a flower blooming in spring, gradually becoming joyful and relaxed. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, forming an enchanting smile.

"I have instructed Ah Xi to investigate the situation of the An family in detail. As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle! So, we don't need to worry too much now." Ru Yue said softly, with a confident light in her eyes.

At that moment, the two of them strolled side by side through the bustling streets. The crowds bustled, the cries of vendors and shouts echoed incessantly, creating a lively atmosphere. But then, a sudden chill swept through Ru Yue's body without warning, causing her to shiver involuntarily. Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously stopped, looking around as if nothing had happened, trying to find the source of the chill. But after a quick glance, she saw no one suspicious.

Just as Ru Yue was about to continue walking, her peripheral vision stole past the second-floor window of a teahouse to the side and behind her. She caught sight of a faint pink hue flashing by, then instantly disappearing into the shadows behind the window. Though it was only a fleeting glimpse, the mysterious pink left a deep impression on Ru Yue.

Chu Ning'an, who had been paying attention to her every move, noticed Ru Yue's abnormality and asked hurriedly with concern: "What's wrong? Did you see something unusual?" He frowned slightly and stared at Ru Yue nervously, his eyes full of worry.

She shook her head and said, "I suddenly felt a chill on my back. Maybe I'm not wearing enough." The weather in April was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. The hand he held was also warm. But suddenly, a layer of fine cold sweat broke out. She herself hadn't noticed it yet, but he was horrified in his heart.

"Send a message to Yingping and Sandezi to come over. We'll feel more at ease if someone keeps an eye on us." Chu Ning'an suddenly became serious, less nonchalant than before, which made Ru Yue feel more serious.

Amidst the bustling streets, an antique teahouse stood. Meanwhile, in a second-floor room, a tense scene unfolded. A woman in a gorgeous ruqué rushed to the window, slamming it shut before she could even steady herself. However, in that crucial moment, the window sash narrowly missed her beautifully embroidered sleeve, nearly trapping it.

The woman's face instantly turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She was clearly terrified. Her beautiful eyes revealed a look of shock, and her chest heaved violently, as if she had just experienced a life-or-death crisis.

At that moment, a voice rang out from the side room: "Be careful, don't ruin my plans." The speaker's tone was gentle, but the coldness within it was chilling. Hearing these words, the woman, still feeling apprehensive, shuddered, as if struck by an invisible force. She nodded subconsciously, her voice trembling, "I understand... I won't let you down."

"Hello, young master, young lady." A young man dressed in ordinary people's clothes and with a slightly thin figure, with a flattering smile on his face, nodded and bowed to the young man and woman in front of him with outstanding temperament.

He deliberately lowered his posture and said in a flattering tone: "Everything has been done. You can rest assured that I will take care of it. Those two people have taken all the charges on themselves, and no one will know that this matter has anything to do with us." After that, the man carefully took out two ingots of white silver from his arms and gently placed them on the table in front of the young man.

However, his eyes were always glued to the two silver ingots, his gaze was filled with unconcealable greed, as if he wanted to stare them directly into his own eyes.

Seeing this, the young man's eyes flashed with a subtle hint of disdain. He frowned slightly, his face frosty, and said coldly, "You've done quite well. These two ingots of silver are yours." The young man was stunned at first, then suddenly realized what was happening, his face lit up with ecstasy. "Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" He was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently, the surprise and flattery in his voice almost tangible. At this moment, he almost knelt on the ground in worship to express his deep gratitude for this reward.

The young man who had just received the reward was the one who had been hammering away at the silver ingots in front of the government office. As for the young couple before them, they were An Binghuai and An Yiru, brother and sister.
