189 Discovery
Yang Baoshan had no idea that his movements had been discovered.
He carefully placed the ladder horizontally on the tree and the top of the wall. He pressed it down and felt that it was very stable, so he climbed forward on all fours.
Zhao Wencai’s heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t even speak. She took advantage of Yang Baoshan’s climb to the foot of the mountain and only stuck her head out to observe the movements.
Yang Baoshan felt that everything was going smoothly. The wretched smile on his face grew bigger and bigger as he got closer. He climbed to the top of the wall and estimated the height, trying to find a suitable height to jump down.
Yue Jiaojiao walked around the room and slowly strolled to the window. She stuck her head out to take a look at the height of the window.
While she was still hesitating, she heard a scream from the courtyard. Then, a familiar voice sounded. Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up. She opened the door and carried Chengfeng out. “Zhao Zhan.”
Zhao Zhan’s tall figure cast a shadow in front of Yang Baoshan.
“Z-Zhao Zhan!” Yang Baoshan looked up at Zhao Zhan, his face full of fear. “You… I… I just wanted to come in and take a look at your magnificent house.”
Yang Baoshan shivered subconsciously when he saw Zhao Zhan.
In the past, he had been beaten up countless times after Zhao Zhan found out that he had been stealing chickens and dogs in the village.
The feeling of fists hitting flesh was not that good! He felt the pain when he was reliving the experience.
Wasn’t he supposed to be out? Why was he home?
“Jiaojiao, wait for me inside. Otherwise, you’ll get your eyes dirty.”
Zhao Zhan turned his head and looked at Yue Jiaojiao tenderly. With one hand behind his back, he held Yang Baoshan’s head gently so that he did not dare to move.
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t see his face clearly even after taking two glances at him. She then looked at Zhao Zhan’s expression and silently took a step back to close the door.
Zhao Zhan turned around.
“So uh… what’s up?”
“Don’t dirty the ground in my yard.”
Zhao Zhan grabbed Yang Baoshan by the collar and dragged him to the back of the mountain.
There was a corner gate at the back of the backyard that was connected to the back of the mountain. Zhao Zhan went out from the corner gate and carried Yang Baoshan to the foot of the mountain. He threw Yang Baoshan aside and looked at him with a cold expression.
Zhao Wencai, who happened to be hiding nearby, was so scared that her lame leg was trembling.
When did Zhao Zhan become this terrifying? He looked like a demon.
Zhao Zhan turned his head and looked at the place where Zhao Wencai was hiding.
Just when Zhao Wencai thought that she had been discovered, he casually looked away and turned Yang Baoshan around so that he was facing Zhao Wencai.
Then, one punch after another was thrown at his face!
“Zhao Zhan! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have climbed over your wall!
“Zhao Zhan! Stop it, stop it!
“Zhao Zhan! Please, I beg you!”
Zhao Zhan turned a deaf ear to his words and continued to punch him harder and harder.
As soon as he thought about how this guy had sneaked into his house and had ill intentions toward his sweetheart, Zhao Zhan could not help but be furious. He wanted to beat Yang Baoshan to death.
Fortunately, Li Miao had reminded him a few days ago that she had gone to the blacksmith’s shop to forge a few iron pieces that could be knocked by pulling a thin rope. Then, he promptly used a circle of thin rope to surround the courtyard wall.
He was worried that the wind or rain would disturb the thin rope on the courtyard wall in the middle of the night and cause the iron pieces to disturb his sleep, and that he might often stay in the large room behind in the future, so Zhao Zhan had placed the iron pieces connected to the thin rope in the large room instead of the bedroom.
Now that he thought about it, he only felt an indescribable sense of relief and thanked his past self!
