Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

"Brother, what should I do?"

A thin man asked a man with a full beard next to him.

"Damn it, what else can we do? We've come this far, we can't go back empty-handed." The stubble-faced man gritted his teeth, hunger making him ruthless.

"Brother, I think we should do this: I see that woman is a good place to make our move." The lewd man carefully examined the scene before him, intending to make his move on Ling Yun.

Because Ling Yun was holding a baby in her arms, with a little girl beside her, and Zhao Di was also nearby, it seemed like there wouldn't be any difficulty in making a move from there.

"no!"

He was still just a minor leader. After observing the situation, the bearded man realized that this approach wouldn't work.

Because he counted, there were sixteen or seventeen people in the group, including men and women, and seven or eight of them were strong men.

If we wake them all up, forget about stealing anything; it will be difficult to escape unscathed, since there are only four of us on our side, and the disparity in strength is too great.

There was also a little girl who looked like she knew kung fu.

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, then immediately huddled together and whispered to them, "Like this, you do it this way, and then we'll do it over here..."

Zhao Lian witnessed the entire scene. Under the cover of night, she looked down at them from her elevated position, and they were completely unaware.

Seeing the men whispering to each other, Zhao Lian knew they must have come up with some bad idea, but they were speaking so softly that she couldn't hear them clearly.

After hearing what the bearded man said, the men nodded hurriedly. The sleazy man gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're brilliant! Your brain is so quick! Your idea is great. Look at my pig brain, I could never come up with such a good idea."

The bearded man was flattered by the lewd man and immediately became smug. However, after a smile, he straightened his face and said, "Alright, stop just flattering me and get to work, or it'll be dawn soon."

"Okay, big brother is right, I'll go right now!"

The sleazy man tiptoed back a few steps, then ran away as fast as he could, leaving the other men standing there.

After a while, the sleazy man shouted, "Who are you? Stop right there! Something terrible has happened! There's a thief!"

"What! A thief? Where is the thief?"

Teng Fu and Liang Chong were suddenly awakened from their sleep, and immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Unexpectedly, the third young lady made him keep watch at night, and he actually fell asleep.

The sleazy-looking man ran over in a panic, shouting that there was a thief.

"Where's the thief?!" Tengfu grabbed him.

"He just ran that way, and I even saw them take something from your place." This sleazy man lied without batting an eye.

"What! They even stole something from here!" Teng Fu and Liang Chong immediately felt embarrassed and rushed out in a panic.

"What? There's a thief!"

Many people were resting where they were, all fast asleep, when they were suddenly awakened by the news of a thief. Everyone was stunned.

Everyone was fleeing, and they didn't have anything else on them, so what would a thief steal?

Some people were carrying something, and they all started checking it.

Li Chunhua and Sun Shangxiang immediately became anxious and quickly started searching for things.

Li Chunhua lit a tinderbox, took out her bundle, and wanted to open it to see if her things were still there.

Another man saw his chance, ran over, snatched the item, and then ran away.

"Oh no! My bag!"

Li Chunhua's expression suddenly changed. All her gold and silver jewelry and banknotes were inside; this was her savings over the years.

"Sir, my bag! The gold lock from the bridge pier is inside! What should I do? You must chase after it right now!" Li Chunhua urged Mr. Qiao.

Old Master Qiao frowned: "Chunhua, with my old arms and legs, where am I supposed to chase after her in the middle of the night? This golden lock can't be eaten."

"That's gold. It's not very useful now, but it'll come in very handy when we're short of money."

Seeing that she couldn't rely on Mr. Qiao, Li Chunhua refused to give up and turned to Jordan and Qiao Feng: "Jordan, Qiao Feng, I'm begging you, please help me chase after that thief."

Qiao Feng shook his head: "If the things are lost, they're lost. Who knows what dangers might arise at night?" He didn't want to get involved in San Niang's affairs.

Jordan nodded in agreement: "Second brother is right. It's so late at night, and if the other party goes into the mountains, we won't be able to find them. Right now, we have a lot of women, children, and kids, so safety is the most important thing."

"Master, I don't care. You must find someone to chase after it for me right now. There's a fortune-attracting talisman that the fortune teller got for me inside. If it's lost, our family will be in big trouble." In her panic, Li Chunhua made up a bunch of nonsense.

"What! There's such a thing!" Qiao Tai was also anxious and urged the Jordan brothers to chase after them.

Jordan rolled his eyes. The thieves had vanished somewhere. Where were they supposed to find them?

The bearded man in the darkness was also getting anxious, not expecting that these people who had stolen the bundle wouldn't chase after them.

They originally planned to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but it turned out to be a miscalculation; these people didn't move at all.

Seeing how anxious the lady was, the bearded man figured there must be a lot of good stuff in the bundle. Thinking of this, he became happy again.

Just as the three of them were about to leave quietly, Zhao Lian leaped up and silently stood in front of them.

"Ah~ Who are you?"

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of him, startling the bearded man.

Zhao Lian said with a stern face, "Tell me quickly, where did that man go?"

"What did you say? I have no idea what you're talking about!" The bearded man refused to admit it at all.

Zhao Lian exposed him with a single sentence: "Don't think I don't know what you just said. I saw it all. You guys are in cahoots."

"You bullshit!"

The bearded man still tried to deny it, backing away as he spoke. Zhao Lian saw that they were trying to escape and immediately sneered.

"Hmph! You think you can run away so easily!"

Zhao Lian pulled out a knife and held it to the stubble-faced man's neck. The other two men were stunned and couldn't move their legs.

"My patience has its limits. Tell me quickly, where did those two men go?" Zhao Lian pressed down on the knife in her hand.

Feeling a sharp pain in his chest and neck, the man was terrified: "Young lady, let's talk this out. This knife doesn't have eyes."

"Will you talk or not?" Zhao Lian pressed the knife down even deeper.

"Ah!! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!!!" The bearded man knew he had no choice but to tell, so he quickly revealed where they met.

Zhao Lian tied the three of them together and threw them aside. Then she went to the place the bearded man had mentioned and found him there.

The man opened the bundle and found a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and banknotes inside. He was overjoyed and thought he would keep it all for himself and leave. He didn't expect Zhao Lian to arrive so quickly.
