Lin Yuexi stepped forward and said to Xie Wenlei, "Wenlei, I know you feel sorry for your mother, but we can't let her make the same mistake again. Letting her accept legal sanctions may help her turn over a new leaf."
After that, she looked at Xia Jing and said in a cold tone: "Just wait for the judgment of the law."
Just then, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door.
Lin Yuexi was pondering the series of strange things that had happened recently with full of confusion, when suddenly, a hurried knock on the door broke the silence in the house.
She got up hurriedly and walked quickly to the door. The moment she opened the door, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her eyes full of surprise and surprise.
The person standing at the door was Gong Mufeng, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. He stood as tall and straight as a pine tree, with a look of fatigue from the journey on his face. Behind him were several soldiers with serious expressions and agile postures.
It turned out that Gong Mufeng, who was far away in the army, was always worried about Lin Yuexi and several young children.
Those worries grew wildly in his heart like vines, making him unable to sleep or eat.
Finally, he made up his mind, asked for a long leave from the army, and rushed back to look after them.
Gong Mufeng strode into the house, his eyes quickly scanning every corner of the house. With the keen intuition developed from years of service in the army, he instantly realized that something was wrong.
The items in the room were a little messy, and there seemed to be a hint of tension and uneasiness in the air. Lin Yuexi's expression also revealed a hint of fatigue and anxiety.
Lin Yuexi looked at Gong Mufeng's inquiring eyes and knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she took a deep breath and told him everything that had happened during this period, from beginning to end, without any detail.
She told him everything from the time when Mr. Xie was poisoned by the chronic toxin to the time when she just tried to poison Gong Yichen and Gong Yutong.
Gong Mufeng listened quietly, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, thinking to himself, you want to touch my child, Gong Mufeng, you must be tired of living!
He didn't say a word, but waved his hand with a stern look, "Send to the Public Security Bureau..."
The two soldiers immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward quickly, holding Xia Jing firmly on the left and right.
A trace of panic and unwillingness flashed across Xia Jing's face. She struggled desperately, shouting some meaningless words, but in the hands of a well-trained soldier, her resistance seemed so futile.
The soldiers took Xia Jing away and, following Gong Mufeng's instructions, sent her to the Public Security Bureau to receive the appropriate punishment.
After dealing with Xia Jing's problem, Gong Mufeng and Lin Yuexi looked at each other tacitly, and then went into the kitchen with Aunt Li to prepare lunch.
Gong Mufeng rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning the ingredients. He skillfully washed the vegetables and meat one by one. The sound of running water accompanied his steady movements, playing the prelude to the kitchen symphony.
Lin Yuexi was cutting vegetables skillfully on the side. The ingredients were cut into even shapes with the movement of the knife. She occasionally looked up and exchanged a few words with Gong Mufeng, her eyes full of peace of mind.
Aunt Li was busy in front of the stove, controlling the heat skillfully, and tempting aroma wafted from the pot from time to time.
Su Yue used the new bottle that Lin Yuexi took out from the space to make two bottles of milk and fed Gong Yichen and Gong Yutong. The two babies stopped crying and fell asleep after drinking.
After lunch was ready, everyone served the food to the table and ate with Mr. Xie. At the table, Mr. Xie looked at Gong Mufeng with emotion, expressing his relief at his return. Gong Mufeng responded politely and asked about the old man's health with concern.
However, Xie Wenlei was absent-minded. He sat in a corner of the dining table and hardly moved the chopsticks in his hand.
His mind was full of the thought of his mother being taken away, and he was extremely anxious.
While everyone was talking, he quietly put down his chopsticks, quickly walked to the phone in the living room, and dialed Xie Youan's number in the army.
After the call was connected, Xie Wenlei spoke very quickly about his mother's situation at home, with a hint of panic and anxiety in his voice: "Dad, Mom has been sent to the Public Security Bureau, please think of a solution quickly..."
At this moment, in the spacious yet extremely simply decorated office at the military base, I was listening to the voice coming from my son's phone.
His hands suddenly froze, and a complex expression flashed across his originally calm face, including shock, helplessness, and more importantly, deep fatigue.
He was silent for a moment, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to respond to his son for a moment.
The office was very quiet, with only the ticking of the wall clock, which seemed to be beating on Xie Youan's heart.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice low and full of unquestionable majesty: "Don't worry about your mother's affairs, wait for me to come back and deal with it. Don't you still have classes at school, don't delay any longer..."
He spoke each word slowly, as if he was considering it carefully, or as if he was suppressing the emotions surging in his heart.
Xie Wenlei on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard his father's answer. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't utter a word.
He was filled with anxiety and anticipation, but his father's seemingly cold response instantly turned into aggrieved and confused feelings. He could only hold the phone blankly, speechless.
Lunch ended in a slightly solemn atmosphere, and everyone stood up and cleared their bowls and chopsticks.
After Lin Yuexi had cleared the tableware, she gently walked to Old Man Xie, bent down, and said in a gentle and caring smile, "Grandpa, please come live with us, so that we can take better care of you."
Her eyes were full of sincerity, and she hoped from the bottom of her heart that Mr. Xie could have a stable and comfortable living environment, away from the troubles of this series of bad things.
However, Mr. Xie shook his head slowly, with a look of determination and reluctance in his eyes: "Girl, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't let go of Wen Lei."
His gaze was cast towards Xie Wenlei, who was looking lonely not far away, and his eyes were filled with deep kindness.
Although Xie Wenlei has grown into a young man, he is still a high school student after all. How can his tender shoulders withstand such a heavy blow?
His mother committed such heinous crimes as poisoning his grandfather and his nephew. This series of cruel facts was like a hammer that hit him dizzy and he was simply unable to accept it.
How could Mr. Xie leave at this time? He knew that Xie Wenlei needed his family's company and support more than ever.
If Xie Youan didn't come back and I left, how would Xie Wenlei get through this difficult time?
Gong Mufeng and Lin Yuexi looked at each other, and walked to Mr. Xie together, and started to persuade him one after another.
