Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

When *Thief Catcher 2*’s plot ended, many people on site still felt unsatisfied.

At the end, the Landlady’s identity was finally unveiled in a mysterious corner. It turned out that the critically ill Old General Feng was actually her grandfather.

And her biological mother was merely a courtesan on a Jiangnan riverboat who shared a brief, fleeting romance with Old General Feng’s son, not even qualifying as a mistress.

Unfortunately, that general later died on the battlefield, and her biological mother also passed away early. So, even though Feng Juan knew her own background, she never planned to return to claim her family.

If not for this time, when a courier from the frontier passed by their inn but died of severe injuries, she might never have gotten involved in this conspiracy or set foot in the frontier in her entire life.

But deep down, she still harbored a faint glimmer of longing.

Even though the frontier had stabilized, Old General Feng was indeed terminally ill and had no other descendants left. The Landlady simply couldn’t bear to leave at this moment.

So, in the end, she chose to stay, while Jiang Rushu and Shen Jue decided to return to the ruins of Penglai Inn and rebuild it.

Hemiao watched this final plot, and the tension that had gripped her heart throughout finally eased.

Although it was a bit regrettable that the Landlady chose Old General Feng instead of leaving with Shen Jue, she knew they would meet again someday.When they met again, it would probably be the story of the third installment.

Then she could see their amazing fight scenes again. Hell yeah!

She just didn’t know when the third installment would come out. Even the second one took so long to wait for…

Hemiao felt a twinge of regret again.

But the next moment, the back of her head was smacked hard by someone.

”You little brat, why did you lie to me earlier and say Shen Jue would die?”

Father He’s gaze was gloomy, his palm radiating heat. His fatherly love was overwhelming, and at this moment, he just wanted to teach this kid who suddenly dropped spoilers halfway a lesson. She had made his heart hang in suspense the whole time, terrified that Shen Jue would die in battle. It was absolutely outrageous!

Hemiao shrank her neck, knowing she was in the wrong, and could only giggle sheepishly. Then, she quickly found an excuse to weasel out: ”Oh, come on, that wasn’t my words! I heard it all from the internet!”

”All day long, learning nothing but bad stuff from the internet. Why do you believe everything people say?”

Father He immediately found a point of attack and began to start his tirade.

Sensing danger, Hemiao was about to get down on her knees and apologize directly when the screen in front lit up again.

She immediately raised a finger to signal her dad to be quiet: ”Shh, shh, quick, look at the extra scene. Don’t miss it!”

Father He had no choice but to shut his mouth again and glared at her.

Jiang Rushu and Shen Jue returned to Penglai Inn.

It had been burned to a pile of ashes, but the general layout was still recognizable.

Shen Jue walked straight toward the back of the inn following the location in his memory, while Jiang Rushu picked through the rubble and barely found a relatively clean stone table and stone stool in the backyard.

Unfortunately, there had been an old tree here, but now it was withered. Most of its leaves had fallen off, and no one knew how much longer it could survive, much like the current court on the verge of collapse.

Footsteps sounded from behind. Shen Jue carried a jar of wine and tossed it to Jiang Rushu.

Jiang Rushu caught it immediately, casually opened the jar, and gave it a light sniff.

His eyes lit up. ”Is this the peach blossom brew I asked about last time?”

”Yeah.” Shen Jue nodded. ”Thank you.”

In fact, from the very beginning, Shen Jue knew the Landlady was going to wade into this muddy water. He also knew about the past and background that had always weighed on her mind.

The couriers from the frontier had been hunted down all the way to deliver the message. When they reached their location, the last young courier, who had explained everything, also breathed his last.

When the Landlady heard the news from that side, the normally calm ripple in her eyes finally stirred.

So, she wrote to Jiang Rushu, hoping he would come to help.
