The incident at the wedding banquet caused by the Gu family was suppressed by Gu Yue with a strong hand, and the Gu family was not greatly affected. However, people in the circle could not help but talk about it privately, and they just regarded it as gossip after dinner.

On the second day after their wedding, Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan returned home with gifts. Several of their brothers were waiting at the door to greet them. Tall figures lined up one after another. The warm winter sun shone on them, which seemed to be a foreshadowing of a new beginning.

When we met, everyone understood each other tacitly.

Gu Zhiwei is recuperating in the hospital, and Gu Yue is in charge of all matters at home.

After the wedding, they were supposed to go on a honeymoon, but Lu Anning refused.

"It's the end of the year, and everyone has a lot to do. We've agreed to wait until next spring when we have time to go on vacation."

Gu Huai frowned: "How can it be the same? A honeymoon should be taken when you are newly married."

Lu Anning smiled and glanced at Tang Jingyuan: "To me, it's all the same. Jingyuan, what do you think?"

"It's all up to you. If you want to go now, I'll have Lin Tao arrange it immediately."

Lu Anning's mind was not on her honeymoon at the moment. She smiled and changed the subject, asking about Ji Yan's situation.

"Dad said yesterday that we should listen to the doctor. Brother, what do you think?"

The Gu brothers looked at each other and it seemed that they had already discussed it.

"I've already made an agreement with Anding Hospital and will have her transferred this afternoon. She's done so many bad things, and now she's acting crazy, this is her punishment. Let her spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital! An Ning, what do you think?"

Lu Anning looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you sure I have the final say?"

Gu Yue nodded seriously. "We are the last ones to know the truth. You have the absolute say in this matter. We have already agreed that whatever you say should be done about this matter, that's what we will do."

Lu Anning was silent for a while: "No matter what I do, you won't object? Second brother, you too?"

Gu Yu frowned, sighed, and nodded, "I no longer have any position to defend her. No matter what you do, I won't object."

"Okay! Then let her stay in the mental hospital under the name of the Gu family. Don't let her die, and don't let her have an easy life."

Everyone instantly understood what Lu An Ning meant. Remembering that their mother was burned to death by Ji Yan, cold glints flashed in the men's eyes, hatred grew in their hearts, and the little family affection that was not strong to begin with had long since dissipated.

Tang Jingyuan sat aside without saying a word. When Lu Anning turned around to look at him, he saw that he was playing with the teacup in his hand. The tea had gone cold, but he didn't move for a long time, as if he was thinking about other things.

Lu Anning called out to him, and it took a while for Tang Jingyuan to come back to his senses.

"You called me?"

"Are you worried about something?"

Tang Jingyuan smiled faintly: "Just thinking about something. It's okay!"

Gu Feng saw through Tang Jingyuan's thoughts. He was obviously not in good shape today.

"Are you still thinking about the ring?"

Tang Jingyuan took a deep breath: "Lin Tao still hasn't found any information about them. I feel like they are avoiding me."

But if they wanted to hide, they could have simply not come back. Why would they have given the ring at the wedding?

Back then, Bai Yue had vanished from the face of the earth. The search and rescue team searched for a full month but found no trace of him. Even after being declared deceased, Tang Jingyuan refused to give up.

Over the years, he has been secretly looking for his whereabouts, and there are always messages looking for him on the dark web.

Since he is still alive after so many years, why doesn't he come back?

How did he get through these years?

Too many questions confused Tang Jingyuan. He just wanted to find the person and get his doubts clarified.

"I've already reported this to my superiors, and they're taking it very seriously. I believe they'll find the man soon. You don't have to worry too much. At least he's still alive. You can finally let go of the guilt you've felt for so many years."

Can you let it go?

Tang Jingyuan pursed his lips. He remembered that in the video, he was wrapped up tightly and came in a wheelchair. His leg was injured, or perhaps, it wasn't just his leg...

Lu Anning knew that Bai Yue’s matter had a great impact on Tang Jingyuan, and he had never let it go over the years.

She didn't know the specific circumstances of that year and wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.

"You're right! Now that he's back, he'll definitely show up again."

After lunch, Gu Feng suddenly received a call. He didn't know what was said on the other end. He subconsciously glanced at Tang Jingyuan and his eyes darkened.

"He's right next to me. Let's come together in a moment."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Tang Jingyuan: "I'm afraid you have to go back with me."

Tang Jingyuan frowned: "He's back?"

Gu Feng nodded: "I'm afraid the situation is a bit complicated. We'll have to wait and see when we get there."

The two did not dare to waste time. Lu Anning watched Tang Jingyuan and Gu Feng leave together, feeling vaguely uneasy.

His expression was solemn, and I was afraid it was not a good thing.

Gu Huai had to rush to make an announcement, and Gu Yu also had a consultation in the afternoon. After they left, Lu An Ning simply followed Gu Yue to see if Ji Yan had been transferred to another hospital.

Before leaving, Lu Anning thought of Professor An and called her.

She is also a key figure in the whole plan.

"Professor! Ji Yan will be transferred to the mental hospital this afternoon. My brother and I will make all the arrangements."

"Afternoon? I happen to have time. I'll go with you."

As for Professor An, everyone only knew that she had a connection with the Gu family, but the specifics of that relationship were unclear. Even now, Lu Anning only speculated that she might be an old friend of her mother's.

It was just right that she could take advantage of this afternoon's opportunity to ask her about it. If they were really good friends, perhaps she could learn more about her mother.

"Then get ready. My brother and I will come to pick you up now."
