Su Qing chimed in, Indeed, thats correct. He and Uncle are very close friends. On the night when w.a.n.g Dafei committed that crime, he was even out drinking with Uncle.

I recall that Uncle got apprehended by the bailiffs back then, but he was eventually acquitted.

From this, we can deduce that even if a close friend were to commit a crime, as long as he wasnt involved, he wouldnt be unfairly implicated.

Su Cheng nodded in agreement. So, its safe to say Second Brother wont be wrongly implicated in this a.s.sault, right?

Su Lan rea.s.sured them, saying, Absolutely, theres no need to worry, everyone.

Su Bin added, This is common sense, something even a three-year-old would understand. Someones trying to use this as a threat against us, what a ridiculous notion!

Ms. Lin was so infuriated that she nearly burst a blood vessel. She rose from the ground and stormed out, hurling curses.

Qin Zhenzhen sneakily glanced at Su Bin and couldnt help but stifle a laugh.

This kid certainly knew how to handle the avaricious Ms. Lin.

He didnt return home until the following morning.

With a grim expression, Su Bin made a decision. Lets head to the county first. Second Brother is most likely there.

If he doesnt show up, we wont wait any longer and will go straight to the prefectural city.

Then, Su Bin instructed Qian Shanmin, Brother Shanmin, Im entrusting the safety of my sister and Xiaoyu to you. And, keep an eye on my fifth brother too.

Su Bin had already covered Su Chengs registration fee.

In ancient times, there were no winter or summer breaks in the traditional sense of modern education. There werent clear distinctions between the previous and upcoming semesters. Unlike the structured grade system we have today, before taking the Cultivated Talent exam, they received monthly tuition. If they paid for a month, they could study for a month.

Typically, there was only one cla.s.sroom in the village, and in the towns school, there was just a single teacher. This allowed Su Cheng to enroll even in the middle of the month.

Qian Shanmin expressed his a.s.surance, saying, Ill ensure their well-being.

Early in the morning, Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen, Su Qing, Su Ning, and Qin Silong made their way to the county city.

Their first stop was at Qin Zhenzhens uncles house.

Qin Silong and Su Qing were about to venture out to gather information regarding his whereabouts when Qin Zhenzhens uncle appeared alongside him.

Upon inquiring about the situation, they learned that the troublemakers who had come looking for him had gone into hiding after severely injuring Qian Erhu. Fortunately, they later received news that Qian Erhu had been rescued, and no fatalities occurred, leading the aggressors to let their guard down.

Nonetheless, they couldnt approach him openly, fearing potential repercussions if they remained in the town. Instead, they left a message for him, instructing him to meet them in the county.

He eventually made his way to the county on his own, but rather than encountering those individuals, he disclosed their whereabouts to Qin Zhenzhens uncle.

Qin Zhenzhens uncle promptly reported this to the county governor, who, upon receiving the information, ordered the arrest of all those involved.

This act underscored his determination to sever all ties with those wrongdoers.

Qin Silong couldnt help but cast another scrutinizing gaze at him. Could this seemingly ruthless individual truly be willing to disa.s.sociate himself entirely from those gangsters?

Could it be that he was pretending for him to see because he wanted to learn his martial arts?

Hmph, its often easier to change a country than to change ones nature!

Lets wait and see what the future holds for him!

He wouldnt teach him martial arts until he was certain he had improved!

The group rented a carriage and departed for the prefecture on the same day. During the journey, he felt perplexed. He attempted to engage Qin Silong in conversation several times, but Qin Silong brushed him off.

Instead, Qin Silong treated his fourth brother warmly and engaged in conversation with him.

On the day when he took a blow intended for Qin Silong, their relations.h.i.+p had improved noticeably. Qin Silong even carried him home.

Why had their dynamic changed so suddenly?
