The Square.

After Yang Qingshu left, Anlin and Song Qing casually chatted for a bit.

The two of them weren’t really familiar with each other, so there wasn’t much to talk about.

After waiting for a while and not seeing Yang Qingshu return, Anlin felt a bit bored and took the initiative to say, "Miss Song, I have something to take care of at home, so I’ll be going first!"

"Mm! Goodbye, Miss Anlin!"

Song Qing smiled faintly and replied politely.

Zhao Jinde and Ma wanted to ask her to stay but unfortunately, they weren’t familiar with each other.

If they abruptly asked her to stay, it might leave a bad impression.

Helplessly, the two could only watch Anlin’s figure gradually disappear into the crowd.

As Anlin walked through the crowd, she naturally attracted a lot of attention from the men.

Some bolder ones even approached to strike up a conversation.

Anlin had been accustomed to such advances since childhood.

After politely declining, she continued forward, intending to find her brother, Tongtai, to see what he was up to.

But just as she was about to exit the crowd, she was involuntarily drawn to someone.

Although the person’s appearance was quite ordinary, he had a special aura.

It was as if he was part of the world yet uniquely separate from it.

This caused her to pause and take a second look.

"What’s he looking at?"

Anlin wondered to herself.

Just as she was about to follow his gaze to see what he was looking at, he turned his head.

Their gazes met for a second.

Anlin inexplicably blushed, showing a rare shy smile.

And the other person just smiled, nodded, and then turned and disappeared into the sea of people.

The whole process took less than two seconds, and she couldn’t find him anymore.

"What a peculiar person!"

She sighed lightly in her heart, then continued to look for her brother, Tongtai.

Lu Heng, having merged into the crowd, subconsciously touched his face.

He remembered he had chosen a very ordinary face, like a typical background character, so how could he have attracted the attention of a beauty?

However, he quickly put the beauty out of his mind.

Could a beauty really be more important than his Life Span incense?

"Plans just can’t keep up with changes!"

He muttered softly to himself.

In his original script, today’s plot was very simple.

Basically, it was just the ancestor of the Qinawa family suddenly rising from the grave to scare people a bit.

But what he didn’t expect was that the Cyan Tiger Gang also had plans for causing trouble.

And the scale of the incident they intended to create was no small matter!

"Since you guys want to create trouble, let me help you first."

"And afterward, maybe you could do me a favor in return..."

Lu Heng thought silently to himself.

The script had to be revised again!

...

Meanwhile, Yang Qingshu decided to tell the truth.

He found Tongtai and pulled him to a quiet corner.

"Qingshu, do you have something to say?"

Seeing Yang Qingshu with a serious expression, Tongtai asked with curiosity.

"I just saw your third uncle on the mountain!"

Yang Qingshu didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "I saw him acting sneakily, so I followed him on impulse and saw him slip into the woods in the back mountain."

"When he came out of the woods, I noticed his eyes were bruised, as if he had been punched."

"Later, four other people came out of the woods and said something to your third uncle."

"After listening, your third uncle looked terrified."

"Then they all went down the mountain together..."

His account was brief and to the point.

He recounted everything he had seen earlier in detail.

After hearing his account, Tongtai frowned deeply, showing a similarly serious expression.

After a moment, Tongtai replied gravely, "Qingshu, thank you very much for telling me what you saw."

"If I’m not mistaken, the four people you mentioned are likely from the Cyan Tiger Gang."

"I don’t know what the Cyan Tiger Gang is secretly up to."

"But for your own safety, please don’t tell anyone else about this..."

"Understood, I got it!"

Yang Qingshu was momentarily stunned, then nodded slightly.

He understood that Tongtai had his best interest at heart.

After all, he was from Dragon Country and unfamiliar with this place.

If he accidentally clashed with the Cyan Dragon Gang, he would have no one to turn to.

"I must inform Grandpa about this immediately!"

"Qingshu, would you like to come with me?"

Tongtai asked, looking at Yang Qingshu for his opinion.

"I’ll pass."

Yang Qingshu quickly shook his head.

He was an outsider and had no reason to get involved in the Qinawa family’s affairs.

"Alright, see you later then!"

Tongtai nodded and quickly left.

Watching his silhouette disappear, Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but sigh, "I hope you all stay safe!"

Had it been back home, he might have been able to help.

But here in Talan...

He just hoped he didn’t get into trouble himself!

After resolving a concern, Yang Qingshu returned to his original place.

"Old Yang, where did you go just now?"

Song Qing frowned and asked, seeing he had just returned.

"Where else could I have gone? Just went to the restroom!"

Yang Qingshu shrugged, not telling Song Qing about what had happened earlier.

The Qinawa family and Cyan Tiger Gang matters wouldn’t help Song Qing even if she knew.

Besides, he had promised Tongtai not to tell anyone.

"Going to the restroom took so long?"

Song Qing stared directly into his eyes.

Her intuition told her this man was lying!

"It’s my age, men are like that."

Zhao Jinde joked.

"Understood! Understood!"

Ma winked cheerfully at Yang Qingshu.

"Nothing happened; just a tiny incident while at the restroom."

Under Song Qing’s gaze, Yang Qingshu explained awkwardly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a "bang bang bang" sound of gunfire from the west side of the square.

Those gunshots were like pouring cold water into boiling oil, instantly causing an uproar.

Everyone’s faces were filled with panic and nervousness, desperately retreating.

Since there were already a lot of people in the square, everyone wanted to leave quickly, resulting in some jostling and trampling incidents.

Seeing this, Yang Qingshu quickly shouted to Song Qing and the others, "Follow me, let’s stand on higher ground!"

At that point, Zhao Jinde and Ma forgot about their livestream, hurriedly shutting off their phones, and followed Yang Qingshu onto a stone platform at the edge of the square.

Watching the surging crowd and the occasional screams of pain, the expressions of all four were particularly grave...
