24: If their only son dies, their family line will end.

"Catch Xiao Niannian and bring her back. She must have colluded with outsiders to steal our family's belongings..."

Xiao Yueyue also hated Xiao Niannian intensely. Xiao Niannian and her grandmother went out without any trouble, while she was surrounded and watched by the villagers in her underwear. If her parents hadn't borrowed clothes from the neighbors, her reputation would have been ruined.

After the comrades from the Public Security Bureau left, Xiao Yueyue remembered the Xu Family members and said anxiously.

"Mom, Dad, is Xiao Niannian going to see Xu Yang now? We can't let her steal this marriage arrangement..."

Second Aunt Xiao heard this and became extremely flustered.

"Her father, that little slut running over there right now must be trying to marry the Xu Family boy before Yueyue does. Hurry and take Yueyue to find Xu Yang, make him marry Yueyue, and absolutely don't let that little slut Xiao Niannian get ahead of us."

Second Uncle Xiao nodded.

The family of three walked to the Town, took the public bus back to the County Government, and after arriving in the County Government.

"Fortunately, we still have a home in the county, or else everything would be over."

Second Aunt Xiao opened the cupboard and saw only over two hundred yuan inside. Her heart ached terribly. There had been over five hundred yuan in the brick house back home, along with so many bookcases, tables, and chairs, all made by Xiao Zhan when he was home, using the finest timber. Now, even a hundred yuan couldn't buy furniture this good.

Also, the jewelry and accessories left behind by the dead Old Woman, and the things her husband had secretly obtained from other families before. Now they were all gone.

"Her father, who do you think stole those things from our house?"

Second Aunt Xiao asked after cursing for a while.

"I don't know. Let's go buy tickets first, and we can talk about it when we get back."

He had prepared beforehand, taking a month's leave from his Work Unit and obtaining a Letter of Introduction. Fortunately, these items were also here and hadn't been stolen.

Second Uncle Xiao was actually still a little afraid in his heart. With all the furniture and everything in the house missing, could there truly be something involved? They wouldn't dare move back into that house before the truth was uncovered.

After buying the tickets and returning, they bought some food and necessities.

Xiao Daqing was currently a Temporary Worker. Hearing from fellow villagers that something had happened at home, he immediately rushed back.

"Mom, Dad, I heard the house was completely emptied by thieves? What exactly happened?"

In the hospital.

Wang Dazhuang woke up. Accountant Wang and his wife were extremely worried in the hospital.

Second Uncle Wang, bringing people from the Revolutionary Committee, also stood in the ward with a gloomy expression.

He had just interrogated five or six other people. Everyone claimed they were drunk, and when they woke up, they found themselves being savagely beaten by The Monkeys... "Second Brother, what exactly happened?"

Accountant Wang was worried in his heart, wondering if someone was taking revenge on their family by targeting their only heir.

"We interrogated Dazhuang's friends and didn't find any issues, and the Public Security Bureau also said they only found traces of The Monkeys, but no suspects..."

This incident has now spread throughout the Commune, and many people in the County Seat have also heard about it.

"What's the deal with these monkeys?"

"I heard that Dazhuang and the others went hunting in the mountains a few times before, and they even used a gun to injure a monkey..."

Second Uncle Wang explained.

"So these monkeys are taking revenge on my son?"

Accountant Wang didn't believe it. How could The Monkeys have such high intelligence? Someone might have caught The Monkeys and used them to harm his son.

"This is the current investigation result from the Public Security Bureau."

Accountant Wang asked about Xiao Niannian.

"Didn't Dazhuang's friends say that Xiao Niannian was very skilled in Martial Arts Skills? Have you investigated her?"

Second Uncle Wang nodded.

"I sent people to investigate. Xiao Niannian and her grandmother went to Yangcheng. They bought train tickets to Yangcheng, likely to find her father's Military Unit. It's estimated she won't be back for several months..."

"How could it be such a coincidence? Could she really have hired someone to take revenge on my son?"

"I also investigated her family and the people she usually interacts with. She doesn't know any Ruffians; I know all the Ruffians in the county and city... As for her father's comrades-in-arms, none of them have visited in recent years, so that's impossible..."

Second Uncle Wang is a Cadre in the City Government Revolutionary Committee and is about to be promoted to the Provincial Government, so his investigation speed was much faster than the Public Security Bureau's. He truly didn't take Xiao Niannian seriously. If she was said to be skilled in Martial Arts Skills, it was probably just luck, having learned a few Fancy but Useless Moves. To suggest that Xiao Niannian, a single woman, could beat six men—how could that be possible?

However, they still needed to thoroughly investigate the County Government and the City Government. Perhaps someone was targeting his Nephew precisely because he was about to be promoted... Also, there might be something in the mountains surrounding Xiao Family Village and Wang Family Village. There were previous rumors of Treasure in the Deep Mountains. They had sent people to investigate, but the mountains were filled with towering trees over ten meters high, along with endless, vast peaks. It was said there were many Wild Beasts in the Deep Mountains.

They had sent people in several times, and many were injured, so they stopped sending more teams.

"Go tell the Director that I suspect there are Spies in the Deep Mountains. Send more people to investigate, and bring more weapons... Those monkeys must not be allowed to live."

But Second Uncle Wang and Accountant Wang didn't know that Xiao Niannian had already instructed The Monkeys to quickly retreat into the Deep Mountains after beating the men, warning them that the Wang Family would definitely send people for revenge and wouldn't spare The Monkeys.

The Monkey King and the Monkey Minions naturally obeyed Xiao Niannian's words, and dozens of them had now all gone into the Deep Mountains.

Meanwhile, the Masses in Xiao Family Village, Wang Family Village, and several other Communes were overjoyed to hear about Wang Dazhuang and the others. Wang Dazhuang and his companions had committed many wicked deeds. Because Second Uncle Wang was a Cadre in the Revolutionary Committee, some people who tried to report them were instead arrested by Second Uncle Wang's group and sent for detention and labor... Therefore, later on, some families who were beaten or bullied by Wang Dazhuang and his friends dared not report to the Public Security Bureau.

Currently, Wang Dazhuang could be described as a Local Tyrant in the city and county, with an utterly terrible reputation.

"Doctor, why hasn't my son woken up yet?"

Accountant Wang's wife was extremely anxious and ran to ask the Doctor again.

"He should wake up in a little while, but the injury to that area is severe and requires careful treatment..."

Hearing the Doctor's words, Accountant Wang's wife panicked terribly.

"Doctor, you said the injury to my son's area is severe. Will it affect his ability to have children in the future?"

Accountant Wang's wife's voice was trembling slightly.

This was the only heir of their Old Wang Family! If something happened to Dazhuang's life root, their family line would end.

"We don't know yet. We must treat it first, and we will only know once the wound has healed somewhat..."
