Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The Residential Gardener

```

Chen Yu told Zhou Shengtao everything he knew, and also informed the relevant personnel about the location of the buried jewelry and cash.

When everyone dug out the buried items, astonishment was written all over their faces.

They had solved countless major cases and, in theory, seen a lot of the world, but the scene before them was completely beyond their imagination.

All of their combined efforts over several lifetimes probably wouldn't amount to this much money.

After Chen Yu had done what he needed to do, he hurried back to Shuiyue No.1.

He had been out for some time, and even upon his return, he hadn't had the chance to reunite with his wife and child.

By the time Chen Yu rushed home, it was already 10 o'clock at night, yet the house was still buzzing with lively activity.

Jin Lingsu and Tong Ya were striking an extremely difficult pose, standing on one leg.

Tuan Tuan, too, was imitating their pose, standing between them.

The three of them standing there was like a beautiful scenic painting.

When Tuan Tuan saw Chen Yu return, she immediately put her little foot down and bounced into Chen Yu's arms.

"Daddy, you're finally back, you have no idea how much I've missed you!"

Chen Yu affectionately ruffled Tuan Tuan's little head and took out an exquisitely small jade bracelet from his pocket.

"Daddy missed you too! Look, this is a little gift I carefully picked for you, do you like it?"

Tuan Tuan excitedly took the bracelet and put it on her wrist: "Of course I like it, I love anything from Daddy!"

Chen Yu then pinched Tuan Tuan's nose and turned to look at Tong Ya and Jin Lingsu.

"What are they doing?"

Tuan Tuan pouted her little mouth: "I don't know, it was normal at first, then for some reason, Mommy insisted on competing with Aunt Jin in flexibility, and that's how it ended up."

Chen Yu also had a full head of black lines; indeed, wherever Jin Lingsu was, no good came of it.

At this moment, Jin Lingsu suddenly smiled: "Your husband is back, aren't you going to greet him? Give him a hug, a kiss, something like that?"

Tong Ya clenched her teeth: "Anyway, we're already married, there's always time for that! You're not getting overwhelmed and trying to distract my attention, are you?"

"I'm not that bored!" said Jin Lingsu with a nonchalant air: "I practice martial arts; my flexibility and muscle strength are countless times greater than yours. Just admit defeat!"

Tong Ya forced a slight smile; upon closer observation, one could see her body had already begun to tremble.

Tong Ya was merely a simple dance teacher, while Jin Lingsu was different; she had fought and bled, weathering storms and braving the rains, possessing a physical and mental toughness incomparable to Tong Ya.

Chen Yu frowned, realizing that if this continued, Tong Ya might actually hurt herself.

"Ya Ya!" Chen Yu called out softly, then walked straight over to Tong Ya and scooped her up around the waist.

"Alright, she is a single dog, bored out of her mind, that's why she's challenging everyone. We don't need to bother with her! I've even picked out a special gift for you on my return."

Tong Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She had been enduring for nearly two hours and couldn't hold on any longer. If it weren't for Chen Yu giving her a way out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

What's more, Chen Yu's simple words had also helped her regain some face.

"Why would I do such a boring thing with a single dog?"

As she spoke, Tong Ya tenderly buried her head in Chen Yu's embrace.

Jin Lingsu's eyes widened in astonishment, "Hey, you two are breaking the rules, ganging up on me, an outsider. I'm at least a guest, for goodness' sake. You should show some hospitality. Besides, your husband promised to cook for me for ten days."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, "This late at night, what dinner? "

He said dismissively and then took Tong Ya back to their room, with Tuan Tuan hopping along behind them. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Jin Lingsu sat on the sofa with a sulky expression, like one who had been wronged.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, a strange rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes outside.

Her sharp instincts made Jin Lingsu jump up and rush outside without a second thought.

When she stepped outside, she saw a middle-aged man sneakily swinging a hoe under the arhat tree in the backyard, apparently digging something.

"What are you doing?"

Jin Lingsu shouted and dashed over, kicking the man in the back of his head and knocking him out cold on the ground.

Chen Yu too hurried out, "What happened?"

Jin Lingsu clapped her hands dismissively, looking down at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

"Caught a thief. This guy seemed like he was about to steal your arhat tree!"

Chen Yu's frown deepened when he saw the middle-aged man.

He knew this person; he was the community gardener.

Recently, the arhat trees in the community were diseased, and the gardener, afraid of disturbing the residents during the day, quietly came out to tend to them in the dead of night.

Chen Yu sighed in exasperation, "Who would blatantly come to the community to steal an arhat tree at night? This is a communal worker."

After explaining briefly, Chen Yu took out two needles and pricked them into the gardener's nape.

Before long, the middle-aged man stood up groggily.

"What happened? I feel like someone hit me on the back of my head with a hammer!"

Chen Yu coughed lightly, "Master Wu, it's very dangerous for you to work at such an hour. If we hadn't arrived on time to rescue you, the consequences could have been grim!"

As he spoke, Chen Yu picked up a broken flowerpot. He had broken it on the spur of the moment while rushing to help.

Master Wu didn't say much, obviously believing the explanation.

"I had no choice, really. Since that's the case, I'll let it go for today and go rest."

After seeing Master Wu off, Chen Yu too breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sis, now that you're collaborating with the relevant departments and have obtained a legitimate identity, you should get to know the life of a normal person. You can't go around acting rashly like this. If something really happens one day, your legitimate status will be in jeopardy."

Jin Lingsu looked indignant, "I've been through so much over the years, and now I have to be schooled by you, kid?"

Grumbling to herself, Jin Lingsu went back to her room, albeit in an exaggerated way—she actually went out the window.
