Chapter 32 Going to Li Ningqiang's Hometown



Wu Dalong quickly bought the clothes back.

Although this outfit is still a skirt suit, at least it's a normal outfit and includes safety shorts.

After changing her clothes, Lu Qing came out, looked at Wu Dalong with his bruised and swollen face, and then at Gu Xicheng:

"You were just hitting him?"

Gu Xicheng didn't speak, but with a single glance, Wu Dalong quickly smiled and explained:

"No, no! I just tripped and fell, and Mr. Gu helped me up!"

"Really?" Lu Qing asked with a doubtful look.

Gu Xicheng pushed the steamed buns over to change the subject: "Come and eat, they'll get cold if you don't eat soon."

"oh oh!"

Lu Qing didn't dwell on this issue.

During the meal, Gu Xicheng asked, "What do you plan to do with Li Ningqiang's assets?"

“Let’s donate it!” Lu Qing said without hesitation.

Wu Dalong looked at her in surprise: "Sister-in-law, that's fifty million plus six houses and three cars, the total value is at least two hundred million. You're going to donate it all?"

"Ill-gotten gains should not be kept, and besides, I can't even save a penny, so why should I keep it!"

"Donate it all to orphanages, sick children, or stray cats and dogs. Let's do something good!"

Lu Qingyun's calm and composed demeanor made Wu Dalong give her a thumbs up:

"Impressive! No wonder she's President Gu's fiancée; she treats money like dirt!"

Seeing the fawning smile on his face, Gu Xicheng spoke coldly:

Are you alright?

"It's alright!" Wu Dalong laughed.

Gu Xicheng: "If you have nothing to do, get out of here!"

"Okay! I'm off!"

Wu Dalong quickly left.

After finishing breakfast, Lu Qing took out her phone and made a video call to her master.

On Yutai Mountain, in a Taoist temple, Yu Hengzi was scrolling through short videos on his phone.

[Hey there, if you want to see me dance, type '1' in the chat!]

As Yu Hengzi watched, he swayed his head to the music, drooling.

Suddenly, the caller ID interrupted him.

Who is it?

When Yu Hengzi opened his eyes and saw that it was Lu Qing, he quickly sat up, so excited that he almost dropped his phone.

"Oh my dear apprentice, you finally called me!"

Yu Hengzi took a deep breath, put on his most amiable smile, and then answered the call.

"Master!!"

Upon hearing Lu Qing's voice, Yu Hengzi immediately lost his composure:

"Qingqing, my precious disciple, you finally called your master! I thought you had forgotten about me!"

Yu Hengzi cried so hard that tears streamed down his face, which also brought tears to Lu Qing's eyes.

"Master, I'm so sorry! I should have called you sooner!"

Yu Hengzi wiped away his tears and cried as he said:

"Qingqing, ever since you left, I haven't been able to eat or drink, and I've lost a lot of weight!"

Lu Qing: "..."

She believed it if her master said he missed her, but she didn't believe it if he said he missed her so much he couldn't eat or drink.

"Master, do you know that the beautiful lady is dancing?"

Yu Hengzi: "How did you know... um... I didn't see it! I just accidentally saw it!"

Lu Qing: "Master, please wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth first, otherwise your wife will definitely notice it later."

Yu Hengzi hurriedly wiped his drool, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Little girl, you've gone astray after just one trip out!"

"Where's that kid Gu Xicheng?"

Upon hearing Yu Hengzi's question, Gu Xicheng immediately appeared on screen:

"Master, it's been a long time!"

Yu Hengzi nodded in satisfaction: "He's really good-looking. Master was right about him back then!"

"Thank you, Master!" Gu Xicheng smiled politely.

"Hey! We're all family, no need to be so polite. As long as you treat my Qingqing well, I guarantee your Gu family will prosper for a hundred years!" Yu Hengzi laughed.

Gu Xicheng looked at Lu Qing and nodded slightly: "I will."

Yu Hengzi was about to say something when he suddenly caught sight of someone and quickly said:

"Qingqing, Master has something to attend to, so I'll stop here!"

The video call ended abruptly, and Gu Xicheng was somewhat worried:

"What's wrong with Master? Is there something I did wrong?"

Lu Qing laughed and said, "It's none of your business. He must have seen his master's wife."

She knew her master's nature very well; he must have hung up so quickly because he was afraid she would complain to his wife.

Sure enough, Yu Hengzi quickly turned off the live stream running in the background after hanging up the video, but even so, he was still discovered.

"You old fool, you think I won't know just because you deleted it? Your records of giving people tips are all here!"

"Wife, have mercy! It's just one cent, I didn't give you more!"

"You dare talk back? Stop right there!"

"..."

The Taoist temple was noisy and bustling for a while, but the fellow disciples had gotten used to it.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qing said to Gu Xicheng:

"I'd like to visit Li Ningqiang's hometown. Would you be free to come with me?"

"Didn't we catch the ghost baby? What are you doing going to Li Ningqiang's hometown?" Gu Xicheng asked.

“Since the ghost baby is still here, the mother body must also be here. Li Ningqiang’s hometown is several cities away from the capital. The ghost baby must have come here through some means. I suspect that someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, so I want to go and see,” Lu Qing said.

“Let him go all that way; it’s his job anyway,” Gu Xicheng said.

Lu Qing refused: "I took Li Ningqiang's money and promised to eliminate the evil spirit, so I must be the one to find out the cause and effect of this matter."

Gu Xicheng frowned and thought for a moment before saying:

"I have a lot to do today, let my brother take you there."

"Yes!" Lu Qing nodded.

Wang Yanjun quickly picked up Lu Qing downstairs at the company and then drove straight to Li Ningqiang's hometown, Mocheng.

Although it's a few cities away, it's a quick drive; it only took a little over three hours to get there.

"Ahead is Changlin Town, where Li Ningqiang used to live. According to him, a fortune teller said that the bodies of the mother and child should not be burned directly, as it would affect the fortune of their descendants. Therefore, they chose to bury them in the ground, and Zhao Meilian's body was buried on a nearby barren mountain."

As Wang Yanjun drove, he looked around, a hint of nostalgia seemingly flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Qing asked curiously, "Brother, have you been here before?"

Wang Yanjun gave a faint "hmm," seemingly unwilling to say more.

"Let's go up the mountain and take a look before it gets dark!"

Just as Wang Yanjun finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound coming from Lu Qing's stomach.

He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed:

"Sorry, I'm used to being hungry. Anyway, it's still early, let me take you to eat first."

"Mmm!" Lu Qing nodded repeatedly.

Wang Yanjun randomly picked a restaurant nearby and had Lu Qing order a few dishes and two servings of rice.

Wang Yanjun was enjoying his meal when his expression changed drastically when the waiter brought out a plate of braised pork.

"Ugh~"

Wang Yanjun grabbed the trash can and started vomiting violently, his face turning red from vomiting.

Lu Qing hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Wang Yanjun shouted as he vomited:

"Quick! Quickly, take that plate of meat... ugh~ away!"

"oh oh!"

Lu Qing quickly took the plate of braised pork away.

Wang Yanjun vomited for a while before he calmed down a little:

"Has no one told you that I hate braised pork the most?"

Lu Qing shook her head, puzzled, and asked, "Why? Is braised pork so delicious?"

Wang Yanjun's face was gloomy, and he lowered his head as he said:

"Stop asking!"

He didn't want to talk about it, so Lu Qing didn't ask anymore. If there was no braised pork, she would eat fried chicken legs instead!

Just as Lu Qing was enjoying her meal, a voice came from behind her:

"Wang Yanjun? What are you doing here?"

The voice was angry, as if it held a grudge against Wang Yanjun.
