Chapter 368: Request for Guards (2)_1
"As soon as I heard that, I knew it wasn’t you guys coming back to fetch something—this was clearly a thief breaking in! I didn’t think twice; I charged right in. But since I didn’t bring a candle, it was pretty dark inside, and I had no clue where those two were. Anyway, I just yelled out, ’Catch the thief!’ Before I finished shouting, someone from behind knocked me out cold."
Snort!
Someone couldn’t hold back a laugh. Lin Yuan, seeing Meng Liangdong’s guilty face, quickly covered her mouth and coughed twice to mask it.
"Alright, Mr. Meng, you were scared stiff last night. Go rest in the back," Lin Yuan gave Liuzi a nod, and he immediately stifled his laughter, helping Da Niu take Meng Liangdong to his room in the backyard.
Once Meng Liangdong had left, Lin Yuan glared at Xia Zheng who was all animated and harrumphed as a warning.
Xia Zheng turned away, shoulders shaking with laughter. He couldn’t help it; the story was just too funny. Meng Liangdong had barely started yelling ’catch the thief’ before getting knocked out—how could it not sound like a joke?
Putting aside whether Meng Liangdong’s actions were appropriate, Lin Yuan still admired his courage.
Perhaps it was his first time encountering a home invasion; that must be it, as when he ran his own store before, thieves didn’t need to wait for night; they could just clear out his place in broad daylight while he was engrossed in his books, paying no attention to the store.
