The closed health park was finally reopened after five days. The corpse case in the health park caused a sensation in the city and was even reported in the newspapers of Lianzhu City. For a time, the business declined sharply.

Zuo Heng and Ji Bin came to Zhou Xiang to find a solution. Zhou Xiang frowned and said, "I am just the one who gets the dividends. The operation and management have nothing to do with me. You guys figure it out on your own."

Zuo Heng and Ji Bin returned empty-handed and went to Zhou Hua for help. Zhou Hua consoled them, saying, "You two are too anxious..."

Zhou Hua had just finished speaking when the phone on his desk rang. Seeing it was Ling Ran's number, he quickly picked it up, "Ling Ran?"

"Well, tell Zuo Heng and Ji Bin to stop messing around and immediately divide the money on the books. Pay taxes on time, distribute the daily income, and try not to keep any liquid funds or reduce them to a minimum. Transfer Xiangxiang's share to the accounts of the three children. Say that it was agreed upon long ago that Xiangxiang's dividends will be divided equally among the three children as soon as they graduate from college."

"What happened?" Zhou Hua was surprised.

"Don't worry about it. Listen to me. We've all earned quite a bit over the past decade. If we really have to, we can keep the private residence in Nanyuan and sell the rest to the county. This is the last resort. For now, we'll just have to endure this. You all, be careful and don't trust others easily."

Before Zhou Hua could reply, Ling Ran hung up the call.

Zhou Hua told Zuo Heng and Ji Bin about Ling Ran's call. They both felt bad, but there was nothing they could do. "Okay, let's listen to Ling Ran and distribute this year's dividends in advance. Let's spend it slowly! Even if the glory days are gone, we still have a lot of income every day, more than enough to eat and drink. So don't be greedy. Zhou Xiang, do you really want to give the share to the three treasures?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Hua nodded vigorously. "Giving it to the three treasures must be because something went wrong with my sister. After the incident, my sister will definitely explain it to us clearly. However, Ling Ran gave a final warning: don't trust others easily. Let's all be careful!

Especially the income of the health garden, don't tell anyone easily. It's ruining our business and has even caused a death. If it's still as crowded as before, who knows what will happen! I'm actually glad that business is getting worse now."

Zuo Heng and Ji Bin responded in quick succession.

When Ling Xiaoyi, Ling Xiaoyuan and Ling Xiaotong received their dividends, they also received a text message from their father: Don't make it public, just say it's already been agreed upon, and there's a problem with your mother.

Ling Xiaoyi and Ling Xiaoyuan had a special phone call. When the incident happened in the health garden, they were both on a mission. When they returned from the mission, the matter had been resolved. Now his father means that it has not been resolved yet?

The two brothers were very worried, but the Chinese New Year was approaching, so they could only wait until they went home for the New Year.

After Ling Xiaotong received the dividends, she was happy for a while, but after receiving a message from her father, she immediately sent a message to her two brothers: she wanted to go home first.

When Ling Xiaotong got home, it was already the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. When she saw her mother, she wanted to rush over to her immediately, but her father stopped her, "Don't make a fuss. Your mother is in a bad mood recently. Don't mess with her."

"Mom?" Ling Xiaotong looked at her mother, who looked unhappy. "If you feel bad, I'll transfer the money back to you."

Zhou Xiang's eyes flickered, and he shook his head, "No need. Since we've already agreed on this, let's just leave it at that! I'm going back to my room to rest."

Looking at her mother's obviously angry back, Ling Xiaotong was at a loss, "Dad?"

Ling Ran shook his head and raised his index finger to his lips. Ling Xiaotong could only suppress her uneasy mood and wait.

After a depressing lunch, Ling Xiaotong asked his father to play table tennis with him.

Ling Ran looked at Zhou Xiang, and after seeing her nod, he stood up and said to his daughter, "Let's go! Let's see if your ball skills have improved recently."

"Hehe, I've never stopped exercising. I even beat Yi Xiangfan down!"

"Yi Xiangfan?" Zhou Xiang frowned. "Why did you start fighting with him?"

Ling Ran glared at his daughter, saying, "You talk too much!"

"It's okay," Ling Xiaotong looked at her father and then at her mother, "He can't beat me."

"No," Zhou Xiang's tone became stern. "Is that what I taught you? I taught you to fight with your boyfriend? Girls should act like girls. If we fight and quarrel, what will the Yi family think of us? What will they think of me and your father?"

"Mom?" Ling Xiaotong was extremely surprised. "Why are you like this?"

"What's wrong with me?" Zhou Xiang's tone became sharper. "I'm your mother, how can you talk to me like that? Have all these years of studying been in vain? Where's your upbringing?"

"Mom!" Ling Xiaotong stomped her feet and ran back to her room angrily.

Ling Ran sat down next to Zhou Xiang. "Okay, the child is already grown up, you should give her some face. How can she bear it if you say that to her in front of so many people?"

"Okay, okay," Zhou Xiang said impatiently, "That's your daughter, your sweetheart from your previous life. Are you heartbroken? If you are, go and comfort her!"

"No, no," Ling Ran embraced Zhou Xiang, "No matter my past life or future life, you have always been my lover. There is no one else. Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Xiang finally laughed, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and go see her! Otherwise, no one will feel bad."

While saying this, he glanced at Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong.

Ling Ran gave his parents an apologetic look. "My parents never care about how we raise our children. You're overthinking it. Are you too tired? If you're tired, go rest in the house. I'll take you home."

"Okay." Zhou wanted to stand up, and when Ling Ran came over, he leaned against him, "Please stay with me for a while."

Ling Ran's body stiffened slightly, then immediately softened, his eyes dark, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

He pretended to be ignorant and finally pressed an acupoint when he could no longer bear it, which made this pretentious woman faint.

In the bathroom next to the restaurant, Ling Ran scrubbed his hands vigorously. Every time he touched them, he felt his hands were very dirty.

Wife, where are you? Come back soon! Otherwise, your husband will be unable to cope.

Where is Zhou Xiang?

When she followed Teacher Guo out of the detention center, she and Teacher Guo were taken into a police car together.

After leaving the county town, the police car drove onto the newly built highway in Huai County. At a toll station on the highway, it changed into an extremely ordinary seven-seater car.

In the back seat of the seven-seater car sat two burly men armed with guns. One of them handed them two hoods and said, "Put them on."

Zhou Xiang and Teacher Guo each took one and put them on their heads.

About ten hours later, the car stopped and Zhou Xiang and Teacher Guo were dragged out of the car, staggering forward.

The ground under his feet felt like it was going down stairs for a long, long time, so long that Zhou Xiang thought it had gone down eighteen floors before it finally stopped.

The hood was pulled up, and Zhou Xiang saw an acquaintance, "Han Yunchi?"

Although it was an expected acquaintance, she still had to express her surprise.

"Boss Zhou, long time no see."

"Yeah! Long time no see," Zhou Xiang sighed softly. How long had he been waiting? He'd waited until all three of his big backers were gone. How patient he was! He was indeed the descendant of the divine tortoise!
