My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

When Huang Jiayu arrived at the secret room of the business and found that everything inside had disappeared, he lost control and fainted.

The servant behind him hurriedly took him to the clinic. News of the theft at Desheng Trading Company and the fact that the owner of Desheng Trading Company had fainted from anger also spread quickly.

The shop assistants breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Huang Jiayu had fainted.

They had been worried about being punished by their employer.

Although they believed they had not neglected their duties, so many things in the shop were indeed missing.

How can I explain this to the host family?

Some people even planned to take advantage of the chaos and flee with their families.

But now that the news has spread, they know that they are not the only shop in the city that has been robbed; many other shops have also been robbed.

This doesn't prove anything, but it at least shows that they weren't negligent in their duties and that the theft had nothing to do with them.

On this day, the most talked-about topic among city dwellers was the disappearance of all the goods from many shops overnight.

People speculated about who had the ability to take so many things away in one night.

Many people suspect there is a mole within the organization.

They argued that unless there was an insider, the things couldn't have been moved without anyone noticing, and the theft occurred suddenly last night. It simply didn't make sense if there wasn't an insider.

Some speculate that it is some kind of dark force that has trained a large number of martial arts masters who can scale walls and leap across rooftops.

But it's impossible to leave the city overnight with so many things; I figured the things must still be inside the city.

Huang Jiayu also believed that the items were definitely still in the city.

After waking up in the clinic, he immediately sent someone to the government office to report the case and gave gifts to the officials Huang often visited, asking them to help thoroughly search the convoys entering and leaving the city gates and to make sure that the people were caught.

The culprit who had caused so much unrest in the Huang family was currently munching on sunflower seeds while listening to people discuss the theft at the Desheng Trading Company.

Hearing that Huang Jiayu had suffered a stroke, fainted, and was sent to the hospital, and was still unable to get out of bed, she was in a good mood.

This is just the beginning; she'll see how she plays him to the bone.

However, with such a major incident occurring at Desheng Trading Company, the real mastermind should have contacted Huang Jiayu, right?

At this point, we should be able to catch the mastermind behind it all, right?

She'll definitely chop off his dog's head then!

At the same time, Lu Yinheng, who was staring intently at Huang Jiayu, frowned deeply.

Was this the accident orchestrated by the Ji family?

How did he do it?

How could she, all by herself and without any special abilities, have managed to steal everything from all the shops under the name of Desheng Trading Company in just one night?

No, even if she had three heads and six arms, she couldn't do it.

This is something no mortal could possibly do, unless she were a goddess...

This was originally an absurd premise, but for some reason, many illogical things that happened when Lu Yinheng was with Ji Yunshuang suddenly popped into his head.

He initially thought she was a reincarnated person like himself. But after spending so much time together, he realized she was completely different from the person he knew in his previous life.

Maybe……

He was wrong from the start.

But is she really a demon, as Sun said?

Lu Yinheng didn't think so.

He carefully recalled his interactions with Ji Yunshuang, and her character...

He felt that she was more of a celestial being descended from heaven than a demon.

After Huang Jiayu sent someone to report to the government troops, officials immediately led people to investigate various shops, but in the end they found no clues at all.

All the shops had their doors locked properly, with no signs of forced entry.

The officials who handled the case ultimately agreed that it was more likely that a shop assistant had embezzled the money.

Officials detained a large number of shop assistants and managers, and subjected them to severe interrogation.

At the same time, orders were given to the soldiers at each city gate that everything leaving the city must be inspected.

Of course, in the end, neither the shop assistants and managers nor the strict checks at the city gates yielded any results.

Before the government could investigate the matter, Jiangzhou issued a conscription order.

People no longer cared about what was going on with Desheng Trading Company; they were all concerned about the newly issued conscription order.

This conscription order is different from previous ones.

In the past, some wealthy families who did not want to serve in the military could pay a certain amount of silver to avoid the hardship of military service.

However, this conscription order explicitly prohibits paying money to avoid military service. Every household with male members must have at least one male member serve in the military.

If a family has three or more able-bodied men, two of them are required to serve in the military.

For many people, joining the army is an extremely dangerous thing, let alone now that the Northern Qi has invaded. At this time, joining the army would be a matter of life and death.

Many families are extremely worried.

Gu Chunzhi felt the same way; her heart clenched as soon as the conscription order was issued.

According to the conscription order, two people in the family must serve in the military.

Sending both her sons to serve in the military all at once—isn't that going to kill her?

As soon as Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang returned home that day, she grabbed Lu Yinheng's hand with red eyes and said, "Big brother, what should we do? We received a notice from the village head today, saying that the higher-ups have issued a conscription order, and two members of our family have to go."

Where is there such a regulation? This is treating the lives of ordinary people like their own!

Your two younger brothers are clumsy. When they were little, you tried to teach them some self-defense skills from you, but they just couldn't learn. What will they do if they actually go to war?

Lu Yinheng wasn't surprised.

That's because that's how the conscription order was issued in Jiangzhou in my previous life.

In his past life, his second brother injured his leg because of Hu Chunjiao. He went with his third brother, but his third brother...

So he started making arrangements early on, planning to take Lu Wuzheng with him when the time came.

He will take good care of him and ensure his safety.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshuang spoke up at this moment: "Mother, don't worry, I will go in place of my second brother and the others."

Lu Yinheng and Gu Chunzhi were both stunned by her words.

Gu Chunzhi stared at Ji Yunshuang in shock, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Lu Yinheng, with a cold face, scolded Ji Yunshuang, "Don't be ridiculous!"

After scolding Ji Yunshuang, he comforted his mother, saying, "Don't worry, with me protecting you, your second brother will be fine on the battlefield."

Ji Yunshuang rolled her eyes at him. "Who's being ridiculous? Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. How do you think you can protect them? But when I go to the battlefield, not only do I not need anyone to protect me, I can also fight on the front lines."

Originally, she thought that since she had finally traveled to this era without zombies, she would find a place to enjoy life, study medicine every day, play with her child, walk her tiger, and start her retirement life ahead of time.

However, after witnessing the lives of many powerless ordinary people in this era, she realized that it was impossible for a powerless ordinary person to enjoy life comfortably.

Besides, what's the point of a lazy, idle retirement life if you can't achieve anything, stand on high like a man, and control the world?

She also wanted to experience what it was like to wield power.
