Chapter 482 Investigation, the second day of the Chinese New Year
Old Mrs. Huo suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and began to regret that she was blind to marry her daughter to such a family. Even though she looked down on those people in the Leng family, they were Leng Ziyue's closest relatives after all. Seeing them killing each other like this, Old Mrs. Huo's heart was extremely tormented.
"Forget it, call me and I'll say hello. I don't know what's wrong with Wanwan's child now. She's still pregnant, so there can't be any mistakes. Hongyan, go prepare some nourishing things and send them to Qingpu."
Old Mrs. Huo walked away slowly with a cane.
Du Hongyan hurried to follow.
After all the women had left, Mr. Huo raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Go check how many people are involved in this matter. Also, I want to know the exact mastermind behind it. I still have some people I can use. You can deploy them as you wish."
"yes."
Although Mr. Huo has been in retirement for many years, the forces he cultivated back then are still there, and they respect him very much. Those forces were originally handed over to Huo Rongwei, but because Mr. Huo was still there, Huo Rongwei did not use those forces easily out of respect for his father. This time, Mr. Huo gave the order personally, so Huo Rongwei naturally didn't have to worry about anything.
While the Huo family was busy investigating, the Leng family naturally also received the news that the mission had failed. Leng Ziling stood in the corridor in the dark, looking into the distance with a deep gaze.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. No matter if they are rich or ordinary families, as long as they have the conditions, everyone gathers together. However, her home is cold and deserted. Tao Yitong could not get the amnesty from old man Leng to go home for the New Year at this time. Haha, he is really heartless!
The phone in her hand suddenly rang several times, and Leng Ziling picked it up mechanically, "Hello"
"Xiaoling, do you know what I told your mother? The people we sent out were about to succeed, but then someone showed up and they were stopped in the Huo family's territory. What do you think we should do now?" Tao Yizhou said anxiously.
Leng Ziling curled her lips sarcastically, "What should we do? Uncle, don't you think this question is ridiculous? Knowing that the plan had failed, those people didn't kill the woman directly, but let her be rescued unharmed. For this reason, those people you found are also useless!"
Tao Yizhou was stunned for a moment and retorted: "Xiaoling, that's not what you said. You said you would bring the person to you alive. Now you want to kill him. How should I know what you want? Besides, the Huo family made such a big scene. The kidnappers were already busy with their own affairs. How could they kill the hostages? They had to keep the hostages to save their lives!"
Tao Yizhou felt that Leng Ziling had a problem with her brain. They were paying people to do things, not training their own assassins. No matter how great the benefits were, one had to be alive to enjoy them. If one lost his life, he would not be able to get the money. How could others easily cut off his retreat?
"I don't care, the person you find is useless!" Leng Ziling roared madly.
Tao Yizhou felt that she was a little crazy and could not communicate at all. He said angrily: "Anyway, I just want to tell you something. Also, I heard that the kidnapper leader is dead and there is no evidence. They can't trace it back to us this time. That's it. Happy New Year."
Tao Yizhou hung up the phone. Leng Ziling was so angry that she smashed the phone to the ground. With a loud bang, the light of the phone disappeared completely.
The second day of the Chinese New Year is usually the day for families to visit relatives, but after the kidnapping incident, Zhang's mother skipped the formalities and instead invited Li Yongfu and others to come over for a meal as an apology.
Li Yongfu got some money from the seafood processing factory this year and is planning to tear down the old house and rebuild it. The house is a mess, so it's just as well that Zhang's mother and her family don't come over, so they don't have to clean it up.
As for Li Meili and Zhao Guoqing, it didn't matter where they went. They were even happier at Zhang's house. After all, the house here was spacious and beautiful, and it was comfortable to stay in. Moreover, the Zhang family was rich, and the food they prepared was the kind that they couldn't afford to eat normally. Coming here could improve their meals.
When everyone arrived at the house, they discovered that Zhang Wanwan was injured, and everyone who saw her asked a few questions.
Li Meili was the most exaggerated. She wanted to strip Zhang Wanwan naked and examine her carefully. She was so scared that she quickly hid back in her room and lay down.
It's not a good idea to make a big fuss about kidnapping, so Zhang's mother found an excuse for her. "The child accidentally fell while working. She went to the hospital for a checkup and was told she was fine. But she was found to be pregnant. How could this child be so careless? Now we don't dare to let her be busy anymore. We'll just take care of her and talk about it later."
"Oh! This is a great thing!" Lu Cui said, holding Zhang Chengning in her arms and asking, "Does Xiaoning want a brother or a sister?"
The little baby yelled incoherently: "Brother, sister"
Everyone laughed, "He's still greedy, he wants both a brother and a sister!"
Zhang's mother also laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "Then let your mother give you a brother and sister, okay?"
Zhang Chengning nodded seriously, making everyone laugh again. Qin Wenjun was a little embarrassed and said quickly, "I'd better wait until Wanwan gives birth. If there are two pregnant women in the same family, I'm afraid my mother will be worried."
Li Meili was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Really? I'm afraid your mother won't be able to take care of it by then! Apart from anything else, I can't even take care of my Xiaojun if he brings a child here. You said I can't bear to see one, and if there's another, I'll probably have to hide!"
Speaking of the Zhao family, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask a few more questions, "Are you building a new house now?"
Li Meili laughed and nodded, "That's right! I'll build another one while I have some money, and let those guys in the village who look down on others see what I, Li Meili, am capable of! This time I'm going to build the house in one go, and I definitely won't drag it out for as long as the first one, so long that those gossipy village women will gossip about it everywhere, humph!"
Zhang's mother knew that Li Meili was strong-willed, so it was not surprising that she would do this. She thought, "Well, if you don't have enough money, just tell me and I'll lend you some first."
Li Meili was immediately happy, "That's great! Anyway, you don't need this little money. But we are not short of money at the moment. Now the foundation has been laid, and the framework is slowly going up. In addition, the strawberry garden at home is making a lot of money now. We have planted strawberries on the land we contracted before. The net profit a year is hundreds of thousands or even millions, which is more than enough to buy a house. You don't know, now those villagers are very jealous, and they come to ask about it. I said that the things were given by your family, and they were speechless."
Li Meili is now free from stress. She has only one son, and the big problem of housing is almost solved.
