After leaving the office, Ruan Ruan put the box in her pocket, told Huo Haocheng to go to training, and walked quickly home.

"System, where are you? Check on the Zeng family in Yuncheng." Ruan Ruan lay on the rocking chair and called out to the system she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Here it is!" After two breaths, the system appeared in Ruan Ruan's arms.

"Where did you go?" Ruan Ruan asked softly.

I went to see Viper and his brothers.

"Oh! How are they now?" Ruan Ruan was also quite curious; so many days had passed, and she hadn't seen them go to the hospital for treatment.

"Their faces were constantly oozing pus, and they stayed in their rooms all day, with their meals delivered to them by their subordinates."

"Even in this state, why aren't you seeking medical attention?"

"The venomous snakes are worried about unforeseen circumstances, so they're still waiting for the Poison Woman to concoct an antidote for them."

"Oh, has my dear martial uncle finished preparing the antidote?"

"No, she didn't make the antidote at all. She was just stalling them, trying to make them come to you." The system was furious when it said this. This was the most vicious and evil person it had ever met.

"Hmph, my dear martial aunt, she wants to use them to lure me out, and then find my master through me, right? It's been so many years, how come she still hasn't given up on my master! People, no matter how old they are, still can't let go of love and affection!"

"Host, is she considered a villainous female supporting character? That's how it's written in novels. Because she can't get the male lead, she makes things difficult for him in all sorts of ways. In the end, the male lead can't stand it anymore and comes out to kill her." The system was very excited when it said this. The novel it was currently reading was written like this, and it was enjoying it very much.

"You should read less novels! Forget about them, I'll deal with them when they come looking for me. Right now, investigate the Zeng family in Yuncheng for me."

Looking at the cat in her arms, jumping excitedly as she talked about the plot of the novel, Ruan Ruan thought of her best friend, the writer who loved to write novels. She wondered what kind of novel the cat was writing now.

"Okay, host, please wait a moment."

"The Zeng family of Yuncheng: During the Republic of China era, Zeng Yu, by chance, saved the young master of a warlord. Later, to repay the debt, the young master, recognizing Zeng Yu's decent culinary skills, helped him open a small workshop. Through this connection, he established himself in Yuncheng. However, when war broke out, the young master went to the battlefield with the warlord, and Zeng Yu helped with logistical support. But later, the young master went north and lost contact with him. Zeng Yu then began giving alms in Yuncheng, inquiring everywhere about people returning from the north if they had seen the young master, until he was demoted and exiled. Decades passed, and there was still no news. Now, only he and his grandson remain in the family."

"What about the rest of his family?" When Ruan Ruan heard that there was only an old man and a grandson in his family, her first reaction was that it was impossible. Even if her uncle did not have the power at the time, it would have been no problem for him to report them in secret. Moreover, he had helped the military. Logically speaking, his family should not have been demoted.

"He once studied in the United States. His daughter was afraid that she would be implicated by her older brother and sister-in-law, so she reported them by name. Then, in order to protect their son and elderly father, his older brother and sister-in-law published a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with them before they went to investigate their family. They drowned at sea during their escape, and their bodies have not been found to this day."

Actually, their family could have escaped, but because of his sister's tip-off, they missed their chance and were placed under surveillance beforehand. In the end, they had no choice but to save the elderly and children. Seeing this, the system became very angry.

"What about his daughter?" If this man is still alive, then Ruan Ruan will have to make her move.

"Two years ago, his daughter and her family were sent to a farm in the Northwest for embezzling state funds. They all died because they couldn't stand the harsh conditions there."

"Was the person who reported them that kid from the Zeng family?" Ruan Ruan thought for a long time. Things couldn't be that coincidental. The only explanation was that kid.

"Yes, I think he did the right thing, host, what do you think?"

"Yes, I think you're right."

Ruan Ruan stroked the system's fur with a happy mood.

Go and check on them. If they need anything, come back and tell me.

"Alright, host, I'm off!" With that, the system vanished in a flash. It wanted to see what the Zeng family boy looked like; it felt he perfectly fit the revenge-seeking character of the male protagonist in the novels it read.

After the system left, Ruan Ruan got up and finished the rest of the translation. She could send the two books back to her father tomorrow.

During dinner, Ruan Ruan told Huo Haocheng about the Zeng family's situation. Huo Haocheng didn't offer any opinion, because it was pointless now.

"Let's go check out that factory tomorrow. If it's usable, then we'll need to find someone to start cleaning it."

"Okay, I'll borrow my uncle's car during morning training tomorrow, and I'll also go to the city to see if there are any bicycles. I promised to buy you a bicycle, but I still haven't." Speaking of bicycles, Huo Haocheng felt that Ruan Ruan had been talking about it for so long, but he had been too busy and hadn't been able to keep his promise, which made him feel quite sorry for her.

"Okay, let's go see and buy it tomorrow. Then you can ride it to the military headquarters and get a little more rest every day." The family compound isn't far from the military headquarters. It takes about half an hour to walk there, but if Huo Haocheng rides his bike, it only takes a few minutes. It's very convenient.

"I can walk there, it's not far. The bicycle was bought for you to use for transportation."

“I stay at home every day. The farthest I go is to the military headquarters. And you always come with me when I go out, so I don’t really need a bicycle.” Ruan Ruan knew that because of her master’s matter, she was now being protected by them. So, in order not to cause them any trouble, she would avoid going out as much as possible. If there was anything, she would go with someone and never act alone.

In addition, she was lazy, and Huo Haocheng took care of all her needs for food and daily necessities, so she didn't have to worry about anything and was happy to live a carefree life.

"Okay, then let me know when you need to use the car." Huo Haocheng thought Ruan Ruan made sense. After buying it, he would ride it for a couple of days and let others envy his wife's love for him.

"Hmm, do you think the brothers will come back?" Ruan Ruan thought Huo Haoshen would probably come, but she wasn't so sure about Huo Haoli. After all, he had a job now and was of marriageable age. She didn't know if Huo's second uncle and aunt would let him go.

"Don't worry, as long as they're not stupid, they should come." Huo Haocheng felt this was an opportunity for them. If they seized it, their Huo family would be prosperous in the future.
