"We were exploring this section and when we got to the bottom of the river, I saw this beautiful rock buried on the surface of the sand, so I picked it up. Then the light curtain appeared, and we couldn't get in. We tried to go back to the riverbank, but we couldn't either.
We wandered around this area for a long time. When we thought we were trapped here to death, we somehow managed to get out. As soon as we came out, we found that the leaves had just sprouted.
Just now, when I went back and thought about it, I remembered this stone. When I found it, I found that it had many cracks.
Kong Xianxian looked at Zhou Xiang with suspicion and stretched out her pale hand in front of Zhou Xiang. "Can you let me see this crumb?"
Zhou Xiang looked at Tang Ganwen, and when she saw him nod, she poured the crumbs into her palm.
Kong Xianxian raised her hand, carefully felt the crumbs, and sniffed them.
"Zhou Xiang, is this really stone? When you opened your palm just now, I saw jade."
"Isn't jade a stone? Then why is it called jade? Besides, you've checked me out thoroughly. Don't you know what kind of environment I grew up in?"
Kong Xianxian was speechless. She was not good at speaking, and she had no way to deal with Zhou's sharp words.
Tang Ganwen waved his hand, "Alright, stop arguing about this insignificant thing. As long as the thing is real, it's fine. Let's find a way to open it!"
Kong Xianxian shook her head. She couldn't do that. "Captain, I want to contact the head of the family. He should have a way."
Tang Ganwen frowned, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the higher-ups for instructions."
Tang Ganwen went to make a phone call. Kong Xianxian took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped up the crumbs. Zhou Xiang snatched it away and said, "Thank you, Miss Kong. I will return this handkerchief to you."
"You? I have something useful in this scrap."
"But, this is mine, isn't it?"
Watching Zhou Xiang carefully put the handkerchief into his pocket, Kong Xianxian knew she would not be able to get the powder. "Okay, let's not talk about the powder. How did you survive being trapped for so long?"
"That's nothing to worry about, Miss Kong."
After Tang Gan finished his report, he walked back to the three people and said, "Ms. Kong, you can contact your family head, but you must ask your family head to contact the higher-ups."
"Yes, I'll call the head of the family right away."
Tang Ganwen returned her phone to her and said, "Just call in front of us, in Mandarin."
Kong Xianxian took the phone with a grim expression.
Zhou Xiang sneered, "Isn't that an invasion of your privacy? Haha, just imagine how I'd feel if you knew my secret."
Kong Xianxian said sternly, "Zhou Xiang, investigating you is necessary, and you should know why. I'm sorry for what You Ran did, but this can't be a reason for you to criticize us."
"Really?" Zhou Xiang scoffed at her, "Then how can I be innocent? Did I provoke you? If I could choose my next life, who would choose an elder like this?
The law even says it's excessive self-defense! What do you call this? Imprisoning the entire clan? I said you came back to dominate this land, and I'm not wronging you. Your actions demonstrate your dominance.
They say every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Zhou Cong is dead, and if you're not satisfied, dig him up, whip his corpse, expose it to the sun, grind his bones, and scatter his ashes. Do whatever you want to vent your anger. Jiang Xing'an is still alive! Don't you have poison? Poison him, make him bleed from all seven orifices, but he won't die. Make him suffer a broken heart, but he won't die. There are many ways to do it.
If you, the Kong family, were innocent at first, then weren't you using the "son pays for the father's debt" tactic? My uncle, who died of diarrhea at a young age, wasn't that a warning from your Kong family?
Now you're trying to implicate the third generation, aren't you? You're taking your anger out on us, and then what? Will your uncle come back?
Just like now, you're targeting us innocent people, and I'm definitely going to retaliate. He who provokes first is the cheapest, understand? You provoke me and my people, and at worst I'll just defend myself, but you're the ones who are stirring up trouble.
Only that uncle-in-law, if he resisted at that time, no matter how hard he resisted, he would only be excessive self-defense.
So, please tell me, why would the direct relatives of the Kong family, who possessed so many powerful medicines, be destroyed by ordinary people?
Let me make a bold guess. Maybe you had an internal conflict, and Zhou Cong and Jiang Xing'an arranged the time unfortunate enough to become scapegoats?
Or, the uncle was actually at the end of his strength, and since he couldn't do it himself, he took advantage of Zhou Cong and Jiang Xing'an?
Or maybe, your family leader played tricks on people, using a man whose time had come to an end to ward off disaster in order to ensure smooth sailing for you in the future. Then, in order to cover up his meanness and boost your morale, he put the blame on Zhou Cong and Jiang Xing'an?
If you can tell me the answer, just one answer, why did your uncle, who is such a powerful Kong family, get killed by Zhou Cong and Jiang Xing'an?
If you can give me a reasonable and convincing explanation, I will not retaliate. You can retaliate however you want. I am the offspring of Jiang Xingan and Zhou Cong, so I consider myself unlucky!"
Kong Xianxian retreated repeatedly under the questioning. Zhou Xiang was too evil this time. She almost guessed the truth! She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "Alright, you don't have to say any more. I understand. Who told them to be so stupid that they walked into this trap? I'm telling you solemnly, no matter what your Kong family's intentions were at the time, ever since you provoked me under the guise of revenge, I've been fighting you to the death.
I'm already taking revenge. Miss Kong Youran has already been tricked. And Ling Ran and I still have the two medicines, be careful! I don't know when I felt better, so I returned them to the brother and sister.
Let me tell you again, since I have declared war, if you dare to involve innocent people again, haha, I will make sure that no one in your Kong family is left and your entire clan will be wiped out.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes! Don't be so overconfident all the time. Everyone is born by their mother and raised by their parents. Why is your life so precious while others' lives are worthless? Do you think God is your real father?
I don't understand. Isn't it just a long inheritance? Isn't it just a large family? I have the same nose and two eyes, nothing more than others. Why do I think I'm a freak?"
Tang Ganwen covered his mouth to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out. This sister-in-law was so funny. She kept cursing at him in a roundabout way.
Since arriving here, he has heard her criticize the Kong family many times. Why is she so happy? The Kong family has indeed gone too far, actually using fake pregnancy drugs on innocent women.
Don't say that the little girl is ignorant. Since she comes from a big family, she must have a lot to learn. She is either spoiled or she is bad from the root.
Zhou Xiang raised an eyebrow and said to the silent Kong Xianxian, "Call! Ask your family head to find a solution? Tell him that you've been struggling for a week and couldn't find any clues, but I found one with just a piece of broken stone. What an ancient family! How amazing!"
