"Mr. Xu, this is your grandson, right? If you don't want anything to happen to him, just admit it for me."
Seeing that Mr. Xu was unyielding, the young man grabbed Xu Yiyi in his arms. "Either admit that this thing is real for me, or your grandson will have to suffer..."
"How dare you!" Mr. Xu shouted.
Although Tang Li didn't understand what was going on, when he saw Xu Yiyi being picked up and choked by the young man, a chill flashed in his eyes.
"I advise you to put him down right now!"
"Bad guy, let go of my brother!"
Seeing her brother being held hostage, Xu An'an was so scared that she burst into tears.
Mrs. Xu, who had just finished washing the fruits in the kitchen and was happily bringing them out, saw the tense situation outside. The basin in her hand fell to the ground, and she let out a scream: "Yiyi!"
"You have one last chance. Let him go immediately!"
The gentle and elegant look on Tang Li's face was completely gone. He exuded a chilling aura all over, as if he would rush up and kill this ignorant guy the next moment.
"No, unless you promise me first!" The young man was very persistent about this matter. The big hand around Xu Yiyi's neck tightened constantly.
Xu Yiyi kicked his legs and struggled, opening his mouth to bite him. "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Seeing his lovely grandson's face turn red from being choked, Mr. Xu, no matter how calm he was, panicked.
He was afraid that this guy would lose his mind and do something bad to Xu Yiyi!
"Okay, let go of my grandson now, and I'll sign right away to prove that your antique is real!"
"Grandpa, no! Don't help this bad guy!"
The stubborn Xu Yiyi didn't want his family to be threatened because of him. He bit the young man's arm hard. "Umph..."
"You little brat, you dare to bite me!"
The young man showed his original ferocity. He groped in his pocket with his other hand and actually took out a butterfly knife.
"Since your family didn't teach you any manners, I'll teach you a good lesson today!"
Just as he drew out the knife, Tang Li took a quick step and rushed behind him. He struck the young man's arm with a knife hand. The young man cried out in pain, and the butterfly knife fell to the ground.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Yiyi bit the young man's arm hard again. This bite was so hard that blood beads even oozed out.
"Ah!"
The young man cried out in pain and loosened his hand.
Xu Yiyi broke free and ran out. Mr. Xu caught him and hugged him in his arms, looking at the young man warily.
Seeing the situation turn against him, the young man spat hard, pushed Tang Li hard, and then turned around and ran out.
"Don't let him get away!" Mr. Xu shouted.
But it was too late. The young man had already run out. Tang Li, who had been pushed and staggered, turned around and chased after him.
Unexpectedly, there was already a black van parked outside. The door opened, and the young man took a quick step and rushed into the van, escaping.
Tang Li chased for a few steps and then stopped. Obviously, this was a premeditated and well - planned targeting.
Inside the house, Mrs. Xu was crying loudly. She hugged Xu Yiyi in Mr. Xu's arms, feeling extremely guilty. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let him in!"
"My poor Yiyi. It's all grandma's fault."
"Brother, are you okay?" Xu An'an's eyes were red and swollen from crying, looking like a poor little rabbit.
Xu Yiyi hugged his sister and even used his little hand to wipe away Mrs. Xu's tears sensibly.
"Grandma, I'm okay. It's not your fault. That person is just too cunning!"
Mr. Xu's face was dark and gloomy. He looked at Tang Li who came back and asked, "Did you catch up with him?"
Tang Li shook his head. "Uncle, have you offended anyone recently and been targeted by them?"
Mr. Xu couldn't think of anyone. Since he retired, he and his wife had been living a peaceful life. He had never actively provoked such things.
"Let's not call the police for now."
Mr. Xu was worried that those ill - intentioned people would come again. So he called the police.
While waiting for the police to come, Mr. Xu recalled all his recent activities completely and was sure that he hadn't offended anyone.
Then it was possible that the problem was with Xu Qingqing and Xu Yan.
When Xu Qingqing got home, she saw a police car parked in front of the house. Mrs. Xu, looking pale, was standing at the door talking to the police.
Seeing this scene, she quickly stopped the car and ran over. She rushed up and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
Seeing her daughter come back, Mrs. Xu wanted to cry even more.
She hadn't fulfilled her duty as a grandma and hadn't protected her grandson well.
Mr. Xu pushed Mrs. Xu, who was wiping her tears, into the house. He briefly told Xu Qingqing what had happened and finally asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
After hearing this, the first person that came to Xu Qingqing's mind was Gu Anrou. The last time she had ruined Gu Anrou's auction, Gu Anrou must have held a grudge.
Xu Qingqing told Mr. Xu her speculation. Mr. Xu frowned even more tightly.
"It's very likely the Gu family."
He had come into contact with the Gu family before. Gu Anrou's father was a man who loved to haggle over every detail and was insidious in doing things. Not to mention his daughter who had been influenced by him.
It was probably the Gu family who did this this time!
On the other side, the black van stopped after driving out of the villa area. The driver, wearing a black cap and a mask, angrily questioned the young man: "How did you expose yourself? Did you record the information about Mr. Xu's forgery as I told you?"
The young man looked dejected. "That old guy is so stubborn. I had no other way!"
His arm still hurt from the punch the man had given him!
"Because of your impulsive actions, you've exposed our plan. They must have noticed something!"
The man in the black mask slapped the steering wheel hard, making the horn blare. "If this plan fails, none of us will get any money!"
"That won't do. I didn't work so hard on tomb - raiding just to do charity for others!"
A bald man sitting in the back seat shouted angrily. "Since Gu Anrou wants the evidence of the Xu family's forgery, we can just write one!"
After saying that, the bald man looked at the young man who was huddled in the seat with his schoolbag in his arms. "You write very well, don't you? Then you can forge a letter of forgery."
"Will this work?"
The man in the black mask, who was driving in the front, felt that something was wrong.
But the bald man smiled proudly. "She has never seen the handwriting of the Xu family members. By the time we get the money, even if the matter is exposed, it has nothing to do with us."
Hearing what he said made sense, the man in the black mask in the front also acquiesced to this behavior.
"Then write quickly. We'll go and send it to Gu Anrou later."
"Okay."
After Xu Qingqing returned to the room, she comforted the frightened Xu Yiyi immediately. "Yiyi, don't be afraid. Mom is here. Mom will never let you get hurt."
The strong Xu Yiyi, who had been comforting his grandma and sister, looked like a frightened little beast when he saw his mom coming. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he threw himself into Xu Qingqing's arms.
"Mommy."
He was still just a child. He had just been pretending to be calm in order not to make his grandma feel guilty.
