Just moments ago it was screeching, had someone silenced it with poison?

Shen Shuci surveyed her surroundings, picked up a stick that was lying to one side, and tiptoed out.

...

Jiang Jinsang had previously stayed at the Tang Family for a period of time, so he naturally knew how to open the door and enter. At this hour of the night, he had no intention of alarming anyone. Jiang Jiu went to park the car while he and Jiang Cuo entered first.

The cold wind rustled the branches and leaves as the frail moonlight intertwined with the artificial lights, casting the tremulous shadow of trees on the ground, resembling ferocious ghosts with bared fangs and claws—it was quite eerie.

Jiang Cuo was somewhat speechless, wondering why it felt as though they were committing a burglary!

Just then, someone suddenly leaped out from the side, wielding something similar to a club, and attacked them.

Jiang Jinsang was walking in front, and the club was almost cutting through the air, heading straight for him...

His pupils dilated slightly, and he instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly escaping!

”Damn it—” Jiang Cuo immediately rushed over to help, not realizing that Jiang Jinsang had already dodged; the club missed its mark. If someone was attacking Jiang Jinsang, he definitely had to protect him and counterattack.

He didn’t even see who the person was before rushing over to throw a punch.

Shen Shuci recognized his voice, squinted her eyes, trying to see his face clearly, but he had already launched an attack at her. In self-defense...

She swiftly retreated, her fingers clenched tightly, and threw a heavy punch at him!

”Ow—” Accompanied by a cry of pain, Jiang Cuo stepped back, covering his eyes with his hand.

”Miss Shen?” Jiang Jinsang had already recognized her.

”Jiang Xiaowu?” She remembered his voice, ”What brought you here?” It was not yet the day for the marriage proposal.

”I came earlier.”

”I’m so sorry. I kept hearing Hua Mei calling, and I thought there was a burglar in the house.” Shen Shuci casually tossed the stick aside and looked at Jiang Cuo, who was covering his eyes, ”I’m truly sorry.”

”It’s fine!” Jiang Cuo said, his hand still over his eyes, feeling like he might go blind.

Shen Shuci had gone to Beijing and been ”caught” as a thief by Jiang Chengsi; she hadn’t expected to ”catch” Jiang Jinsang today. Tang Wan was originally busy, but when she heard the cry outside, she dropped what she was doing and ran out.

Seeing Jiang Jinsang, she was both shocked and delighted, ”Xiaowu?”

Catching sight of Jiang Cuo holding his eye, she furrowed her brows and asked, ”Jiang Cuo? What happened to you?”

Before Jiang Cuo could speak, Shen Shuci said, ”It’s probably too dark around here, he must have bumped into something accidentally.”

This person was to be Jiang Jinsang’s future aunt by marriage; his grandfather couldn’t be offended, and neither could Jiang Cuo. If she said it was a bump, then it must have been a bump.

...

A minute later, the group followed Tang Wan to the study. The lighting there was much better, and Tang Wan examined Jiang Cuo, ”You’ve got some skill to bump into something so precisely, right on your eye.”

”Who asked them to come in the dark without lights?” Shen Shuci stated bluntly, noting that if she hadn’t recognized the voice, she would have swung the stick.

”You all came over, why didn’t you tell me in advance?” Tang Wan looked at Jiang Jinsang.

”I wanted to give you a surprise.”

However, he hadn’t expected that as soon as he stepped into the Tang residence, he would be greeted with a scare.

At that moment, Shen Shuci still felt that Jiang Jinsang’s arrival was sudden. There were still a few days left before the proposal, and there was no need to rush. But considering the events that followed, she could only sigh that his timing was...

Very timely!
