Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyan looked at Gu Xueyuan with a dark face, and spoke after a while.
"Okay, I didn't expect that he's still thinking about killing Yuqi. But why did he want to kill General Lin's granddaughter this time?"
Gu Xueyuan took another sip of the dumpling soup and then spoke slowly.
"Dad, don't you know that Gu Yulan likes Chen Hao from General Chen's family? Gu Yulan went to the countryside to follow Chen Hao, so I think he must have hired someone to kill Lin Muran because of the relationship between Chen Hao and Lin Muran."
"By the way, Dad, my uncle will probably be back after the New Year, but I don't know the exact date, probably in March!"
Gu Tingyan nodded after listening.
"Got it. Go back to your room and rest. I'm going to eat too."
It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Sun Yuqi got up. She and Lin Muran chatted until very late last night. In addition, the snow did not stop until after three o'clock in the morning. Then they went back to the kang and fell asleep. Looking at Lin Muran beside her, she got up gently, but as soon as she sat up, Lin Muran woke up too.
"Yuqi, what time is it?"
"I just checked the time and it's already nine in the morning. Hurry up and get up. After we finish our meal, we still have to go and wish the captain a happy new year!"
After getting up and making dumplings to eat, she opened the door and found that Lu Chen had returned. Although Lin Muren was curious, she didn't ask. She now knew that Lu Chen came here just for the mission.
The two were just about to go out to visit the team leader's house to wish him a happy new year, but who knew that the team leader came to the Youth League Home instead.
"Hello fellow educated youth? Did you have nothing to do last night? It snowed so heavily! The old man in the village just said that judging by the weather, it's likely to continue snowing tonight. There's no need to celebrate the New Year today. Everyone should clear the snow from your roofs last night into the ditches outside. Otherwise, if it snows again, there won't be enough snow in the yard."
Team leader Zheng Chengwei had no choice. A villager's house was collapsed by heavy snow last night. Fortunately, everyone was awake, otherwise the whole family might have been buried inside. Zheng Chengwei could only go to every household and remind everyone to be careful.
Sure enough, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, heavy snow began to fall from the sky again.
"The old people in the village are really amazing. They can tell it's going to snow today just by looking at the sky."
Lin Muren sighed.
"That's the wisdom of life. With decades of experience, I can't say I've guessed everything right, but getting 70% or 80% right is already quite impressive."
There was a knock on the door. Sun Yuqi was curious about who came at this time, but Lin Muren had already walked over to open the door. However, she didn't expect that it was Chen Hao.
"Chen Hao? You just came back?" Lin Muren asked and invited Chen Hao in.
"Well, we arrived at the commune at noon. It was snowing heavily, and the road was really difficult to walk on, but fortunately we got there."
"You haven't eaten yet! I'll make dumplings for you right now."
Lin Muren was busy making dumplings for Chen Hao, but just as she sat down, there was another knock on the door.
This time, Chen Hao went to open the door, but it was Lu Chen standing outside. Sun Yuqi was sitting on the kang and just happened to see Lu Chen coming, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she lowered her head and continued reading.
"How's it going?"
Chen Hao nodded. "It's been dealt with. He was sentenced to eighteen years. I don't think he'll be able to get out for the next eighteen years."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he glanced at Sun Yuqi, and Sun Yuqi looked at Chen Hao strangely.
"Why are you looking at me? Does this matter of yours have anything to do with me?"
Chen Hao hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
"The person who came to assassinate Mu Ran some time ago was sent by Gu Tingkai. Of course, if he had killed Mu Ran that day, the next target would have been you. Of course, you can not believe me, but this is indeed the truth."
Sun Yuqi's face showed no emotion, but she was thinking about the novel she read at the end of the world. The novel only said that Gu Tingkai was in jail and would be in jail for the rest of his life. Now she knew that it was he who sent people to kill Lin Muren, which immediately angered the Lin and Chen families. The two families worked together to send Gu Tingkai to jail.
Sun Yuqi said "oh" and stopped talking. Instead, she lowered her head and continued reading. This action and reaction made Chen Hao and Lu Chen feel relieved, but they also felt a little guilty towards her.
Sun Yuqi didn’t know they were thinking this way. If she knew, she would definitely tell them.
"You're overthinking it. I have no interest in the Gu family's affairs. Even if Mu Cang kills her now, Gu Tingkai himself won't be moved at all, but..."
The experience in her first life made Sun Yuqi have no good feelings towards the Gu family. No matter whether it was Gu Tingkai or the hypocritical second uncle of the Gu family, if they had been nice to her, she would not have been so miserable in her first life.
Looking at Sun Yuqi who was reading a book with her head resting on her face calmly, Lu Chen became more curious about her. He had also checked Sun Yuqi's past. Her parents had divorced when she was born, and she was finally born in her grandfather's house. After living in the Shen family for eight years, her mother was going overseas, so she gave her to her adoptive mother. Since then, she has lived with her adoptive mother for eight years. Who knew that her adoptive mother passed away the year before last, and then she came here to work in the countryside.
Now it seems that she has a deep resentment towards the Gu family! But think about it, it is understandable. After all, since coming to the countryside, this girl has experienced several assassinations by assassins sent by her biological father. But fortunately, this girl has a set of martial arts skills, otherwise she would have died long ago.
Lu Chen was thick-skinned because he followed Chen Hao in and got a free meal of dumplings. After eating a bowl of dumplings and drinking a bowl of dumpling soup, Lu Chen said.
"Lin Zhiqing, can I eat with you guys from now on? Of course, I can chop wood for you, fetch water, and do all the heavy work. Your cooking is really delicious. You don't know how hard it has been for me recently. Eating every day is not a pleasure, but a torture. If you don't eat my cooking, you'll be hungry. If you eat it, it's really disgusting!"
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Lin Muren felt very embarrassed. She had been eating with Sun Yuqi recently because someone had tried to assassinate her some time ago, so she lived with Sun Yuqi and of course they ate together.
But now that Chen Hao is back, of course she has to go back to live there. Besides, she has always cooked and eaten with Chen Hao, and now it is not easy for her to let Lu Chen join them for dinner.
She looked at Sun Yuqi and saw that she was reading with her head down, as if she didn't hear what Lu Chen had just said. This made Lin Muren very embarrassed.
Lu Chen had actually been secretly observing Sun Yuqi's reaction, but he was disappointed. Sun Yuqi was just reading a book and didn't hear what they said at all?
