Speaking of this situation, Liu Zhanyu couldn't help but sigh, "You kid, you actually think so far ahead. Well, when it really comes down to it, what is a lone wolf? If it runs away, we can catch it again. You can't get hurt."

Fortunately, everything was as you predicted, and the lone wolf confessed everything.

As for that cobra, we'll have to put in some more effort later, but he won't escape. As long as he's still on our land, he'll eventually be caught.

Jiang Qiao wasn't too worried about this. "With Dou Yanhua around, Cobra can't escape, unless he doesn't want this daughter."

He's thinking about this child now, so we have a chance. Let's wait and see how Brother Song handles things on his end.”

Although Jiang Qiao hadn't heard much, she guessed that Song Shutian's absence was definitely related to that strategist.

"Did you intercept their telegrams?"

Liu Zhanyu smiled and nodded. "You really can't hide this from me. Yes, Xiao Song went there for this matter. As for the outcome, I don't know either."

Don't worry about this for now. We'll contact you when we need your help.

After dropping Jiang Qiao off, Liu Zhanyu left. When Ning Hao heard about Lone Wolf's insidious plan, he was so angry that he almost went to confront him again, but luckily Jiang Qiao stopped him.

"Forget it, I already stabbed him. The man has already been arrested. Even if you go over and kill him, it won't make much difference. It will only dirty our hands. I need to wash up quickly. I'm tired from the long journey back."

Even if Ning Hao wanted to, he could understand Jiang Qiao's feelings. His wife was indeed tired from traveling back and forth these past few days. The two of them slept in each other's arms that night, and really, they did nothing.

With Lone Wolf, a major concern, captured, not only Jiang Qiao but also Ning Hao felt much more at ease. As a result, the couple slept soundly through the night, a rare occurrence for them.

"Oh, you're late! Get up quickly, I'll go make dinner, hurry up and get ready—"

Jiang Qiao went to get busy first, while Ning Hao, wrapped in his blanket, rolled around on the bed, feeling quite content. Having a wife is great! Look, this is what life should be like. Before, he was all alone in bed, and that feeling is completely different from now. He finally has someone who cares for and loves him.

Jiang Qiao tidied herself up and ran into the kitchen to cook. Li Meilan came over and knocked on the kitchen door.

"Girl, did someone cause trouble again last night? That kid Ning Hao is so inconsiderate. This is the first time I've seen you so flustered in the morning."

Jiang Qiao blushed slightly. "No, I went to bed late last night, but I went out to see someone, so I woke up late."

"Auntie, have you all finished eating?"

Li Meilan smiled and said, "Everyone who has eaten has gone to work. What time is it? Don't cook anymore. I still have a few cornbreads left over from this morning. I'll take them to you."

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "No way, I had some leftovers from last night, I can just heat them up and eat them."

Auntie, I have some freshly pickled kimchi here, take some home and eat it—”

Li Meilan was embarrassed. "You know, I've benefited from your kindness quite a bit, so I'm too embarrassed to ask for anything in return."

Jiang Qiao took out two cabbages and said, "Don't be so polite. Without the help of you neighbors, Ning Hao and I wouldn't have been able to prepare such a large feast. Please don't stand on ceremony. I have to go back to visit my parents these next few days. The two of them have to go back to work."

"Could you keep an eye on the house for me these next few days? Haozi's grandma lives in the back, so it's not convenient for her to look after her."

Li Meilan took the kimchi and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here."

Li Meilan carried the dishes away, and Jiang Qiao quickly put the heated steamed buns into a plate, made two cups of milk, and then went inside with the food.

Ning Hao's side was also ready. The young couple weren't picky people; as long as there was food, they were happy. Besides, milk wasn't something everyone could afford.

However, Ning Hao only thought it was milk powder. "Hey, this milk powder tastes good. Buy more in the future so you can supplement your diet. Did you bring it back from the west?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, drink more. If it's all gone, we'll have a friend mail it to us later. Over the years, we've traveled all over the country. We have many friends, so what do you want to eat? Just tell us and we'll ask a friend to buy it for us."

Ning Hao held Jiang Qiao's hand with a look of emotion. "Wife, you can stay at home in peace now. We've caught the lone wolf, and the last one won't escape either. You've really been busy all these years. You started fighting them when you were so young, and you've been working hard ever since."

"Take this time to rest and recover, and gain some weight. Otherwise, it breaks my heart to see you like this."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. With Lone Wolf's capture, I've felt much more at ease. Even if that Cobra wanted to scheme against me, he'd probably have to think twice. Lone Wolf ultimately couldn't escape, could he?"

I reckon he doesn't have the time or energy to scheme against me, otherwise, there would be no point in them lying in wait. Don't worry, after suffering a big loss once, I'll be more careful.

From now on, I'll mainly be at home. Grandpa and the others are getting old and need my company. You can focus on your work; I'm counting on you to earn money to support me.

Ning Hao flashed a white smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll support my own wife. You just need to take care of yourself and those elderly folks."

After the two finished eating, Jiang Qiao and her family packed up to go home. She wanted to tell her family as soon as possible that she had been under a lot of pressure over the years, but her relatives had been under just as much pressure, only the adults didn't say anything.

After hearing the news Jiang Qiao brought back, Gu Zhengfeng and the others remained silent for a long time before Ma Liu let out a long sigh.

"Now we can finally rest easy—"

Wen Jingwan expressed herself more directly, holding her daughter and bursting into tears.

"Now I don't have to worry anymore—"

Over the years, what started as worry turned into facing the question of their child's life or death, even though the couple never said a word about it.

However, only they themselves know the emotional journey they have gone through over the years.

With slightly red eyes, Gu Zhengfeng hugged his wife and daughter. "Alright, alright, we should be happy. The enemy has been brought to justice. Our daughter will be safer in the future. Nothing could be happier than this."

"At noon, we're going to have a proper celebration. After all these years, that old guy has finally been caught!"

Ma Liu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, I'm getting ready to go."

The only one who was confused was Stone. When the little guy first heard that the bad guys had been caught and his sister was safe, he was quite happy.

However, seeing his mother in tears, the little guy felt a pang of sympathy and, with tears welling in his eyes, hugged Wen Jingwan's leg, saying, "Mommy, Mommy, don't be sad, I'm here for you. I'll help my sister fight the bad guys."
