"Although my mother really likes her job at the nursing home, I don't want her to be bullied or feel wronged for no reason, so I asked her to resign and go home."

"Deputy Mayor Xue, I don't need Director Peng to apologize, nor do I want to hear her explanation. Please tell her to keep her good intentions for her own consumption, and don't worry about us who are not related to her."

Her words were quite direct. Xue Hailin's face darkened slightly as he listened, but he remained calm, "I know what you mean. I'll tell you when I get back."

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave. When he passed by her, he stopped and asked, "I've seen your resume. Your mother-in-law is Zhou Lanqin, and is she from Kyoto?"

Gong Linglong knew the hidden meaning in his words and answered as he wished: "Yes, my mother-in-law is Zhou Lanqin, the deputy director of the Jingdu Public Security Bureau."

Xue Hailin's eyes moved, and he walked away without saying anything else.

He left, but Secretary Yan, who was standing beside him, was surprised. When she looked over, he spoke: "Gong Linglong, was what you just said true?"

"Secretary Yan, my mother-in-law's identity has nothing to do with my job, right?" Gong Linglong asked back.

Secretary Yan smiled when he heard this and said, "It doesn't matter."

He really didn't know that Gong Linglong had such a deep background. He had previously thought that she was an ordinary military wife. He remembered that when she came to sign up for the assessment, she didn't mention her in-laws' background at all, and she was recognized entirely by her personal ability. She never mentioned these things when she came here to work. Now he had a better impression of her.

"Secretary Yan, please keep this a secret for me."

Gong Linglong didn't want anyone to know that when Xue Hailin asked her just now, she answered truthfully that she didn't want to use the power of her husband's family to intimidate anyone, but she deliberately slapped Peng Yuni in the face.

This hard slap did land on Peng Yuni's face. When she learned that Gong Linglong's in-laws were all Beijing officials and her husband's grandfather was a famous old general, she almost choked on blood.

The result is predictable. Xue Hailin took advantage of the situation and scolded her severely at home.

Of course, he also shamelessly denied his hidden thoughts and shamelessly claimed that he had accidentally investigated this identity. He wanted to use the mother and daughter as a link to establish a relationship with the Zhou and Lu families, and then help the Xue family to move to a higher level.

At this time, he was still blaming and complaining about Peng Yuni for not being able to accomplish anything but causing more trouble than success, blaming her for being nosy and ruining all his plans.

Gong Linglong did not follow Xue Hailin. When they had just had a face-to-face conversation, she noticed that his lips were purple and black, and his eye sockets were dark blue. These were symptoms of toxins infiltrating his body. His good days were numbered, and all she had to do was wait for good news.

As long as he falls, the Xue family will be in chaos, and revenge will be a big step closer.

Peng Yuni came to apologize at noon. Gong Linglong was not in the office at that time. Director Yang had already known what happened in the sanatorium yesterday and did not give her a good look. He then went to find Secretary Tong to discuss the supply of disaster relief materials.

Gong Linglong went out at noon and met with the Yao brothers to trade fifty or sixty piglets. At this time, the mother and daughter were reorganizing the pigpen in the space.

Bai Shuixian entered the space after breakfast and helped her tidy up the vegetable garden. After that, she translated medical books in the space. Lunch was also cooked in the space. The mother and daughter started to take care of the piglets after lunch.

When she returned to the office that afternoon, Director Yang told her the latest news: "Meng Xiaohang's sentence has been announced: 20 years in prison."

Gong Linglong expected this result and curled her lips, "The Meng family can't protect him. This must be the Peng family's help."

Director Yang twitched his lips without much expression, "It's either the Peng family or the Xue family."

"They still come forward to protect Meng Xiaohang at this time. Haha, they have a really good relationship as relatives." Gong Linglong laughed sarcastically.

Director Yang did not respond. Having worked with Gong Linglong for such a long time, she had long discovered that she was extremely intelligent and cunning. However, she did not use her intelligence and cunning to scheme and gain power. Instead, she was very insightful and far-sighted in her planning.

Young people like her will definitely go far in the future unless something unexpected happens.

"Director Yang, what about the Meng couple? Their son committed a crime and their daughter is in contact with enemy spies. They probably won't be able to keep their jobs, right?" This was what Gong Linglong was most concerned about.

"They have some abilities, and Old Man Meng has some connections. They weren't fired, but were transferred to the eastern islands to oversee land reclamation."

This is equivalent to being exiled, and there will be no chance of promotion in the future. The couple will probably die of old age on the island.

The Meng family had lived a very prosperous life in recent years. Their sudden collapse must have been a huge shock to them mentally. They probably won't be able to adapt to it for a while and may even be unable to face reality.

Not to mention others, Meng Xiaoying certainly cannot accept the reality. With her willful and stubborn personality, she will probably make a lot of noise and make a lot of trouble at home.

As she guessed, when Meng Xiaohang's verdict and the job transfer order for Meng's parents were delivered, Meng Xiaoying's reaction was the biggest. She howled and cried at home. The other members of the Meng family were very quiet, as if they had been mentally prepared for it.

Meng Xiaoying had been discharged from the hospital and recuperating at home a long time ago, but she had been poisoned by the medicine given by Gong Linglong, and her wounds healed very slowly. As a delicate young lady, she could not stand the pain and would scream at the slightest pain.

In addition, bad news kept coming to her home, which almost caused her mental breakdown. She became willful and unruly, screaming like crazy at home all day long, which made other people angry and they were too lazy to pay attention to her.

The Meng couple completed the job transfer procedures the next day and packed their luggage as soon as they returned home. Meng Xiaoying was unwilling to leave Seoul and tried to commit suicide at home, which made Xiao Hongmei upset and she slapped her for the first time.

She was reluctant to leave, and her injuries were so severe that it was not suitable for her to travel far. Xiao Hongmei had no choice but to entrust her to the two elders temporarily, asking them to help take care of her for three months. After she recovered and was able to move, she could take the train to the island by herself.

Two days later, Meng and his wife left Seoul with their youngest son, and Meng Xiaoying temporarily lived in her second uncle's house.

The old man of the Meng family was dismissed from his job, and now the two elders live with their youngest son. Recently, because of the eldest grandson's matter, they are always pointed at and scolded when they go out. Both of them are unwilling to go out, and stay at home with the door closed all day long and avoid people.

Although the work of the second son of the Meng family and his wife was not affected, Meng Xiaohang's incident did drag them down, and they can never expect to continue to be promoted in this life.

Meng Xiaoying couldn't accept the reality for a long time, but the second son and his wife of the Meng family didn't spoil her and didn't take good care of her in life. They let her eat if she wanted to, and if she didn't want to eat, then forget it. If she howled and made a fuss, they would just throw her out the door and let her cry outside.

Because of the effect of the poison, Meng Xiaoying's wounds did not heal well, and she suffered from lame foot. Her mind also became a little dull and abnormal. Half a year later, she was taken to the island by Meng He and his wife, and she never returned.
