Zhou Xiang agreed, "Yeah! That's all I can say. Can you swim?"

"Yes."

"Then wait until we're almost at the surface of the river, and then I'll get you out. Just remember to hold your breath."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay! But first, aunt, tell me what happened to my mother."

Zhou Xiang sighed, "Do you know why you are not at the Zhou residence?"

"I know. I must have been held hostage by my great-grandfather. He jumped into the room from the window, and I woke up. Then I lost consciousness."

The eighth floor! Anyone with martial power in the Kong family can climb up there and even break through the security nets. Cleansing their internal energy is a must.

"Many people know about my ring. Because of the incident with the natal lamp, he guessed that my ring was a spiritual treasure and wanted it. He threatened me with you, but he was unwilling to let you go. I know he also wants to use your blood and take you back to make his medicine.

He was holding you and used someone inside the detention center to find me. If he wanted a ring, he would naturally avoid public places.

The top floor is the best place, and you threatened me to throw you downstairs.

I could only interrupt him while contacting your mother to stealthily leave the space and fascinate him.

In order to confuse this insider, your mother used magic to pretend to be him and pretend to leave the detention center. I gave your mother six small bottles of the original solution, and she came back looking like this.

Your wish to eat hamburgers with your family in the outside world may not be realized."

Although his aunt's tone was light, Zhou Yan still shed tears, "Mom really has her own difficulties. She was brainwashed by the Kong family and devoted herself to the family. And because of what grandpa said, she is asked by the clan members every day whether she has understood it thoroughly.

She applied to come to the country early to avoid her clan members. Otherwise, she wouldn't have investigated the Zhou family in person, and she wouldn't have seen her father.

Zhou wanted to squat down and see how wet he was, but he could only raise his hand to touch his nephew's head.

"Well! Don't cry, you should know that it is impossible for me to give up the grudge with the Kong family all at once. Let's change slowly together.

When you grow up, if you really don't give up and accept the Kong family, then the Kong family will be in the hands of the Zhou family. Why should I target the Kong family?

However, I can't refuse the ransom for the natal lamp."

Zhou Yan wiped away his tears and said, "Cut it in half, okay?"

Zhou Xiang tapped his nephew's forehead and asked, "Are you protecting your wallet now?"

Zhou Yan sniffed, "Of course, supporting a large family is very expensive."

"You can give up."

"don't want!"

Looking at his nephew's stubborn little face, Zhou wanted to surrender. "Okay! Cut it in half. Has your mother's temperature returned to normal?"

Zhou Yan nodded. "It's warm now. Now she's practicing the exercises on her own. Although it's slow, she can recover."

"Didn't I leave a large bottle of the original solution? Give it to her."

"Right next to mom!"

"She's almost dying, and she said she wanted to leave it for you. I guess she couldn't bear to drink it."

"So, you forced her to drink it?" Zhou Yan's eyes were full of surprise and laughter.

"Of course, for those who are stubborn and recalcitrant, tough measures must be used."

Looking at his aunt's stubborn and arrogant expression, Zhou Yan held back his laughter, wondering who was more stubborn!

"Have you figured out how to cover up your lie?"

"I was going to say that you used illusion to take the old pervert away, and then, after I found you, I imprisoned the old pervert."

"What if they don't believe it?"

"I'm just saying this, they can believe it or not! This old pervert is causing too much trouble, the higher-ups will definitely not like it.

Patriarch Kong and Kong Qianchen would definitely not want to take on this hot potato. After all, they are their elders and they would love to have me handle it!

My uncle was murdered by that old pervert, which is the biggest reason why I have never been willing to forgive the Kong family.

This time, I can get my revenge, and both father and son are freed."

Zhou Yan had also heard from his mother about his great uncle's affairs. This was the fundamental reason why his grandfather's divinations were so chaotic. His mother often complained about it, blaming his great uncle for being self-righteous and harming others at will.

"What about the others? Are they being kept here?"

Zhou Yan was very worried. With his mother here, wasn't it like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

"Wait until your uncle comes back to make a decision. We definitely can't keep him here. I don't think he'll leave him alive. After all, the old pervert guessed that my ring was a spiritual treasure, and he's almost there."

"It's not easy to kill people to silence them when everyone knows about it. We should find another way."

"It's not just the dead who are left alive, even the mute ones can be spared!"

"You can write."

"Broken hand! I'm deafened by the medicine."

Not only is his nephew not afraid, he also has his own ideas, which makes Zhou Xiang both relieved and worried. He is relieved that his nephew is not an ordinary child, but he is worried that his nephew is exposed to the dark side so early.

Zhou Yan took his aunt's hand and said, "Aunt, let's go out! I miss my grandparents."

"Right! Get out of here quickly! Your grandma's eyes are all swollen from crying. I called her and told her I was hiding you, but she still didn't believe me. Just now, she wanted to come pick you up. If I didn't agree to your brother and sister's request, she would definitely make a fuss and come."

Zhou Yan listened to his aunt's chatter, and a warm current flowed through his heart. This was the care between family members. "How did you get a cell phone? There is no signal in the detention center..."

…

A few minutes later, a man suddenly jumped out of the river with a child in his arms.

Lu Jing asked her sister to look after the child in the car, and she ran over.

"sister in law."

Zhou wanted to dodge Lu Jing's outstretched hand.

Lu Jing's eyes were full of hurt. Did her sister-in-law blame her for not taking good care of the house?

Zhou Xiang glared at him, "What's that look? What's that expression? We're all wet, and if you take Yan'er, won't you get wet too? I don't have any spare clothes for you."

Only then did Lu Jing realize that she had misunderstood, "Sister-in-law."

"Okay, don't worry about it and don't blame yourself. Sister-in-law doesn't blame you, neither in words nor in heart.

Because he is the most powerful person in the Kong family, and he doesn't use force, but medicine. You naturally can't defeat him. Wait, I will destroy all the forces of the Kong family except the head of the family."

After hearing this, Lu Jing let go of the self-blame in her heart and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Hurry up and open the car door."

"yes."

Mom (my aunt) came in holding the wet Yan'er brother. The four children didn't care at all and wanted to rush over, but Zhou Xiang stopped them.

"Stop, girls, turn around, Brother Yan'er wants to change his clothes."

The two girls turned around, and the two boys' eyes sparkled.

There are still a lot of old clothes prepared for my nephew in the space. After his uncle went back, he sent two large bags of new clothes, which I couldn’t wear all.

He took out some old clothes and a dry towel and handed them to his nephew, "Can you do it yourself?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay."

"Then turn around, I want to change clothes too."

After the two wet people changed into dry clothes, Sanbao and Yuanyuan pulled Brother Yan'er aside and asked him a bunch of questions.

Zhou Yan racked his brains to learn how to deceive people like his aunt.

"Brother Yan'er, how did you stay underwater?"

"Brother Yan'er, you can't breathe in water."

"Brother Yan'er, is the water cold?"

"Brother Yan'er, are you hungry? I left some food for you."
