I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The night was deep, covering the capital like thick ink. The crescent moon was half-hidden by dark clouds, casting only a faint and hazy light, making the houses and trees on both sides of the street cast long, twisted shadows.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia, dressed in night clothes, moved swiftly through the narrow alleys and rushed towards the underground bank. Their figures were looming in the darkness, as fast and silent as two ghosts.

"Ajue, we must be careful this time." Chen Jia said in a low voice, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and determination.

"Sister, don't worry, I will protect you." Chen Jue responded. He held Chen Jia's hand tightly, giving her strength and comfort.

Soon, they arrived in front of the house where the underground bank was located. Just like last time, the yard was quiet, with only a few dim lights coming out of the rooms, as if they were watching their every move in the dark. Chen Jue and Chen Jia approached the house cautiously, each step was as light as a feather, for fear of making a sound and alarming the people inside.

They came to the window of the room they found last time. Chen Jue dipped his finger in saliva again and gently poked a small hole in the window paper.

He looked inside and saw that there were more people in the room than last time, and the atmosphere seemed more tense and depressing. Xiao Yi was sitting at the table, whispering something with several of his men. His face was gloomy, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Sister, look, Xiao Yi seems to be discussing something important." Chen Jue said to Chen Jia in a low voice.

Chen Jia moved closer to the window, took a look and said, "We have to find a way to get closer and listen to what they are saying."

Chen Jue nodded, and he looked around and found a window at the back of the house, which was relatively hidden. He pulled Chen Jia and quietly went around to the back of the house.

When they approached the window, they suddenly heard an angry shout from inside the house: "How did you do this? Things are so tense recently, why don't you be careful? If the government finds out, we will all be in trouble!"

Chen Jue and Chen Jia looked at each other, their hearts tightened, they knew this investigation might be more dangerous than they thought. Chen Jue gently pushed the window open a crack, and the sound inside the house came out more clearly.

"Boss, we've been very careful, but business has been so good recently that it's bound to attract attention." One of the men answered cautiously.

"Even if business is good, we can't be careless! Especially those transactions with the Lin family, we must do it cleanly and neatly, without leaving any handles." Xiao Yi said sternly.

"Lin family?" Chen Jue's heart moved, he knew that they finally found the key clue. He motioned Chen Jia to continue listening.

"Boss, why do you think the Lin family wants to launder money through our underground bank? Aren't they afraid of being discovered?" asked another subordinate.

Xiao Yi sneered: "Humph, these powerful people dare to do anything for their own interests. And they have their own people in the government, thinking they can sit back and relax. But we can't be careless, if something goes wrong, we will be their scapegoats."

Chen Jue and Chen Jia suddenly understood what was going on when they heard this. It turned out that the Lin family used underground banks to conduct illegal money laundering activities, and the conspiracy behind this was much more complicated than they had imagined.

Just as they were about to continue listening, they suddenly heard footsteps coming towards them. Chen Jue and Chen Jia were startled and quickly hid in a corner.

A thin man walked out from the back of the house, muttering as he walked, "This damn weather is so uncomfortable." As he said that, he walked to the corner, unzipped his pants and prepared to urinate.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia held their breath and pressed themselves tightly against the wall, not daring to make any sound. Their hearts were in their throats, fearing that they would be discovered by this man.

Fortunately, the man did not notice their presence. After he finished peeing, he returned to the house. Chen Jue and Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that they could not stay here any longer, otherwise they might be discovered at any time.

They quietly left the back of the house and prepared to leave the yard. However, when they reached the gate of the yard, they suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside. Then, a group of people holding torches rushed into the yard.

"Oh no, they're government officials!" Chen Jue said in a low voice.

"What should we do?" Chen Jia asked nervously.

Chen Jue looked around and found a woodshed in the yard. He pulled Chen Jia and quickly hid in the woodshed.

As soon as they hid in the woodshed, they heard shouting and fighting outside. Chen Jue looked out through the crack in the woodshed door and saw that the government officials and the underground bankers had already started fighting. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire yard, and the scene was very chaotic.

"Sister, we can't go out now. Wait until they have finished fighting, then we can find a chance to slip away." Chen Jue whispered to Chen Jia.

Chen Jia nodded, her heart was beating fast and her forehead was covered with sweat. She held Chen Jue's hand tightly, as if this could make her feel a little safer.

In the woodshed, time seemed to pass very slowly. Every minute was filled with tension and fear. They didn't know how the situation outside would develop, nor did they know whether they could leave here safely.

After a while, the fighting outside gradually subsided. Chen Jue looked out through the crack in the door again and saw that the government officials had taken control of the situation. Most of the people from the underground banks had been arrested, and only a few had escaped during the chaos.

"Sister, it should be safe for us to go out now." Chen Jue said.

They walked out of the woodshed carefully and headed towards the gate of the yard. When they passed that room, Chen Jue suddenly remembered the secret door that Chen Jia had mentioned before.

"Sister, let's go check out that secret door. Maybe there's the evidence we need inside." Chen Jue said.

Chen Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "But now the government officials are here, will we be discovered?"

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "If we are careful, we should be fine. Now is a good opportunity. If we miss it, we don't know when we can have another chance next time."

Chen Jia nodded, and they quietly walked into the house and came to the secret door.

Chen Jue gently pushed the secret door, which was not locked and slowly opened. Inside was a narrow passage filled with a damp and moldy smell.

They walked into the passage carefully. It was very dark, almost pitch dark. Chen Jue took out a fire starter from his bosom, blew it up, and illuminated the road ahead.

The walls on both sides of the passage were covered with spider webs, and there were also some debris on the ground. They walked carefully, fearing that they would step on something and make a noise.

After walking for a while, they came to a room filled with boxes. Chen Jue opened one of the boxes and found it was filled with gold, silver, treasures and account books.

"Sister, look, these are definitely evidence of the Lin family's money laundering!" Chen Jue said excitedly.

Chen Jia also showed a happy smile, "That's great, Jue, we finally found it."

Just as they were about to move the boxes away, they suddenly heard footsteps outside.

"Oh no, someone is coming!" Chen Jue said in a low voice.

They quickly closed the box and hid in a corner.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door of the room. A voice came: "It seems someone has been here, go in and take a look."

The door was pushed open, and several officials came in. They were holding torches and looking around the room.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia pressed themselves tightly against the wall, not daring to breathe. Their hearts were beating wildly, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.

Fortunately, the officials did not notice them. After looking around the room, they left.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief. They knew they had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to explain once they were discovered.

They took the box and quietly walked out of the passage and returned to the courtyard. At this time, the government officials in the courtyard had already begun to evacuate, leaving only a few soldiers to clean up the mess.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia took advantage of the chaos and left the underground bank with their boxes. They ran all the way until they returned to their residence, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ajue, we were in real danger this time." Chen Jia said, panting.

"Yes, sister. But we finally found the evidence, and now we can uncover the Lin family's conspiracy." Chen Jue said excitedly.

They opened the box and carefully checked the account books and gold and silver treasures inside. These evidences were enough to prove the Lin family's crimes and provided strong support for their investigation.

"Sister, we will hand over these evidences to the Dali Temple tomorrow and let them deal with the Lin family according to the law." Chen Jue said.

Chen Jia nodded, "Yes, okay. Jue, thanks to you, we were able to succeed this time."

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia and said with a smile: "Sister, we are in this together. I can't do it without you."
