"Go abroad and arrest Huo Mingzhe!"
Lu Lingxiao calmly took a bite of the dumpling, then looked up at his mother, "Mom, I know what you're worried about, but Zhizhi agreed."
"But......"
Just as Shen Yaqin was about to say something, Lu Lingxiao continued, "Zhizhi's grandparents and uncles are all abroad. One of the reasons I took her abroad was to take this opportunity to see if we could meet her family overseas."
"Huh? Zhiyi's grandparents are still alive?" Shen Yaqin asked in surprise.
I had never heard of Feng Zhiyi having any other relatives before. I never expected that besides her unreliable biological mother Lan Guixiang, she also had grandparents and uncles.
So, isn’t the Feng family a big family?
Lu Lingxiao nodded. "Her grandparents moved abroad with the whole family a few years ago. At that time, my father-in-law was unwilling to go abroad, so only my father-in-law stayed in China. The Feng family has been living abroad all these years, so it's not surprising that you don't know."
He then recounted some information about the Feng family.
After Huo Zhongqing heard this, he immediately asked Feng Zhiyi, "Granddaughter-in-law, is your grandfather called Feng Jiaxiang?"
“Yes!” Feng Zhiyi nodded.
"I never imagined you were Feng Jiaxiang's granddaughter. No wonder you have such an extraordinary air about you. The Feng family of Jiangnan was once a textile tycoon that was famous throughout the land," Huo Zhongqing exclaimed.
The two once wealthy and powerful families were the Feng family of Jiangnan and the Lu family of Beijing.
Although the Lu family donated half of their wealth to the country years ago, they also had a treasure trove that had been kept for hundreds of years. All of those things were left to Lu Lingxiao by his grandmother.
Including the Huo family's property, Huo Zhongqing was adopted by Lu Lingxiao early on.
Therefore, although Jiang Peizhen has controlled him with Gu worms all these years, she has not obtained a single hair from him.
Lu Yunhai and Shen Yaqin were also full of surprise and astonishment. They never expected that Feng Zhiyi, who was neglected by Lan Guixiang and ostracized by the old Feng family, was actually a member of the textile tycoon Feng family.
Although the Feng family moved abroad long ago and has not returned for decades, their former reputation still resounds!
Just like the Lu family, as long as you mention the bigwigs of the capital, you know it's the Lu family of the capital.
Knowing that Feng Zhiyi was Feng Jiaxiang's granddaughter, and that the Feng family members were all abroad, Huo Zhongqing stopped expressing his disapproval.
He instructed Lu Lingxiao, "When you go abroad, you must take good care of your wife. Also, be careful of Huo Mingzhe; he's not as simple as he seems."
According to his observations over the years, Huo Mingzhe appears to be a gentle man on the surface, but in private he is a ruthless and gloomy person.
Huo Mingzhe is very much like his grandmother Jiang Peizhen; he appears gentle and friendly, but is actually ruthless!
"I will!" Lu Lingxiao understood the old man's reminder, nodded, and responded earnestly.
After breakfast, Old Master Huo sat on the sofa and drank a cup of tea. Then he played a game of chess with Lu Lingxiao before getting up to leave.
He patted the heads of the three little ones and then told his son and daughter-in-law, "I'm leaving now. I'll have Xiao Zhao pick you up this Saturday morning."
“Okay, Dad, we understand.” Lu Yunhai and his wife nodded.
Then, Shen Yaqin said to the old man, "Dad, come to the old house for lunch tomorrow. Ling Xiao and Zhiyi are going abroad in a couple of days. Before they leave, I'll have Ling Xiao invite his godparents and the old men over for a simple meal."
"Okay! I'll try to come early tomorrow!"
Grandpa Huo responded heartily, then looked at Feng Zhiyi with a kind expression, "Granddaughter-in-law, there are two savings books in the box. Take them and spend them. Buy whatever you like. When you run out of money, Grandpa will give you more."
Feng Zhiyi instinctively reached out to return the bankbook, "Grandpa, I have money on me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Zhongqing raised his hand to interrupt her.
"I cannot refuse a gift from an elder! Take it, or I will be unhappy!"
What could Feng Zhiyi say after hearing this? If she didn't accept it, wouldn't that be exactly what her grandfather had said—disrespecting him? So she thanked her grandfather.
Grandpa Huo waved his hand and walked out of the living room with a smile, preparing to leave.
He has two important meetings to attend this morning.
In the past, he rarely attended such meetings because the Gu worms in his body could devour his consciousness at any time, causing him to lose consciousness briefly and then do things that he could not control.
But ever since Jiang Peizhen was arrested, the Gu worms in his body seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep overnight. He has been unusually quiet these past few days, and his mental state is obviously much better than before.
Huo Zhongqing only decided to come to the Lu family's old residence this morning because he felt he was in good spirits and appearance; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to come at all.
After all, the Gu worms inside his body were like a time bomb, which could explode at any moment!
The thought had barely crossed Huo Zhongqing's mind when his heart suddenly clenched. Before he could react, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight to the ground.
"Old Commander!"
"grandfather!"
"dad--"
Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi reacted the fastest, and Xiao Zhao also rushed in from outside the courtyard. The group went straight into the courtyard, and just as the old man was about to fall to the ground, Lu Lingxiao reached out and caught him.
"Grandpa...Grandpa, wake up."
"What happened to Dad? Why is he bleeding so much?"
"Quickly, Commander Lu, carry the old commander into the car and take him to the hospital!"
Old Master Huo suddenly vomited blood and fainted, causing chaos at the Lu family's old mansion. Fortunately, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao remained calm in the face of danger, and Feng Zhiyi immediately gave instructions to Lu Lingxiao.
"Ling Xiao, carry Grandpa inside to lie down on the bed!"
The old man's current condition must be due to something Jiang Peizhen did, otherwise he wouldn't have fainted for no reason.
Moreover, since Grandpa came to the old house, the tea he drank was all spiritual tea from her space. Even the dumplings he just ate had a little spiritual spring water added to the broth, which should have a balancing effect.
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Lingxiao picked up Old Master Huo and carried him into the house, with Feng Zhiyi quickly following behind.
The couple's actions stunned Lu Yunhai, Shen Yaqin, and Xiao Zhao. After Xiao Zhao realized what was happening, he immediately chased after Lu Lingxiao, shouting, "Commander Lu, what are you doing? The old commander is in health problems and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately!"
“Grandpa has been poisoned by a Gu curse, sending him to the hospital is useless! Only Zhizhi can save him now!” Lu Lingxiao said in a deep voice, and he took three steps at a time, quickly heading towards the bedroom at the entrance of the courtyard.
"What? A Gu?"
