It seems that it won't be long before that highly respected old man Xia comes knocking on our door.

Surprisingly, Lao Xia seemed completely unconcerned, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After careful consideration, Xia Wan finally decided to conduct a more in-depth investigation into Xia Jianlin.

After all, although this person may not be very bright and is unlikely to cause any major trouble, as the saying goes, "better safe than sorry," we still can't let our guard down when it's time to be on guard.

Sure enough, after being discharged from the hospital, Xia Jianlin actually picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Xia Jiandang.

Judging from their posture, they must have been at their wits' end and extremely broke, otherwise why would they have the audacity to ask Xia Jiandang for money?

What's even more ridiculous is that the entire letter he wrote was filled with a commanding tone, as if the whole world owed him something.

I really don't know where this guy got this strange confidence from. Does he really think that everyone will obediently follow his orders?

After a series of arduous efforts, Xia Wan finally found out everything she wanted to know.

Subsequently, she spent a great deal of time and energy to finally sort out all the complicated information.

Finally, with a sense of relief, she told her father and brother everything that had happened.

After hearing her words, time seemed to freeze, and the air became unusually quiet.

Before Xia Jianguo could react, Xia Tao spoke first.

He slightly curled the corner of his mouth, then slowly opened his mouth and said, "So... that legendary old Mr. Xia probably doesn't really want to find our father! Otherwise, why was he so far behind Guo Guanghua before, and now that so-called adopted daughter has gotten there first? What kind of secrets and tricks are hidden here?"

When Xia Wan heard her brother's insightful analysis, her eyes lit up instantly, shining as brightly as stars in the night sky.

She looked at her brother with a face full of joy, her excitement overflowing: "Brother, you really hit the nail on the head this time! You've really got to the heart of the matter!"

Indeed, neither Guo Guanghua nor the mysterious adopted daughter possessed the strength and influence of Old Master Xia.

What's puzzling is that every time they search for Xia Jianguo, Old Master Xia always moves at a snail's pace, lagging far behind everyone else. This is truly baffling.

Moreover, according to the information that Xia Wan had just painstakingly investigated, although Xia's two biological daughters did not intend to kill their father, they did not seem to care much about Xia Jianguo returning to the family.

In other words, deep down they didn't really want to see Xia Jianguo step back into that home.

Xia Wan looked at her father, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Old Xia, what do you think about this? In my opinion, the relationships within that family are incredibly complex and intertwined."

Your resolute decision not to go back is indeed a wise one! If we had chosen to return to that family, I'm afraid endless troubles would have followed.

Of course, these troublesome things are not entirely unsolvable, but they are too tedious and trivial to deal with. It's like a swarm of annoying flies buzzing around you all day long, which is really annoying and makes you feel uncomfortable!

Xia Jianguo slowly leaned back on the slightly worn chair and bed, seemingly lost in deep thought.

Time passed by, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the occasional birdsong could be heard from outside the window.

Finally, after a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Actually, from the very beginning, I never intended to go back and get involved in their mess. We've been through so much over the years, and I think this peaceful life is pretty good."

As he said this, he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Xia Wan and Xia Tao in front of him, a profound meaning in his eyes. He then added, "Moreover, at times like these, the more inconspicuous the nooks and crannies, the more reassuring they are."

Hearing her father's words, Xia Wan nodded in understanding.

She knew very well that her father had always been a man of great loyalty and affection, but he naturally had many concerns and considerations when faced with the complicated family relationships on the other side.

"Dad, no matter what, we have to make some preparations in advance! Look at the situation now, they obviously won't give up easily. Who knows what tricks they'll pull or what kind of trouble they'll cause next!"

Xia Wan pouted: "If you ask me, it's not like we can just hide from him. In my opinion, it won't be long before that old man Xia comes knocking on our door in person."

After saying that, she shook her head helplessly.

Hearing his sister's words, Xia Tao couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "Since Dad doesn't want to go back at all, why don't we just go back to Yongmao County in a few days? No matter how capable those people are, they can't possibly chase us there, can they?"

"That's true, but we still need to be careful." Xia Wan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think that old man Xia, although he feels guilty towards Dad, has neglected him for so many years. Now that he wants to find him, it's probably not just to make up for lost time. There might be other reasons. We need to be careful not to get involved in their family feud."
