Ling Qisheng was of course also aware of the current situation in the mainland. He nodded after hearing his son's words and said, "Yes, our identities are quite sensitive, and we really can't meet with him privately. It would be bad for him if others knew about it.
Ah Xuan, they saved you, you should be grateful, and when the situation improves in the future, you must remember to repay them."
Ling Xuan nodded and said, "Dad, I will remember this. Dad, it is very likely that my second uncle and his men were responsible for my being kidnapped this time."
Ling Qisheng's face turned ashen when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I knew those little bitches were restless. They wanted to kill us so they could divide the family property."
Ling Xuan was also filled with anger and said, "Dad, we can no longer be soft-hearted. Tolerating our enemies is to be cruel to ourselves. They have become so mad and heartless that they are no longer our relatives."
Ling Qisheng sighed and said, "But your grandfather is now partial to that woman. Of course, that woman is unwilling to let her children get less of the family property. So she often plays tricks behind the scenes.
However, your grandfather is very particular about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, so he still insists that our eldest branch inherit the family business. That's why the other branches are so desperate to kill us father and son. We must be more careful in the future."
Ling Xuan said, "Dad, if we really can't win in the end, then we won't fight them. We can just withdraw. Hasn't the Ling family invested in several factories in Nanyang? If things don't work out, we can just withdraw from Nangang and let them fight."
Ling Qisheng listened to his son's words and looked at him a few times. He found that his son seemed to have changed a lot in recent times. He had lost a lot of weight, and there was a firmness in his eyes that was hard to ignore. He knew that his son must have suffered a lot during this period.
Ling Qisheng said: "Your grandfather attaches great importance to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. After all, your second uncle and his family are illegitimate children. Even if your grandfather favors that woman, he will not give the family property to your second uncle and his family.
Don't worry, Dad won't be soft-hearted this time when he returns, and will definitely deal with your second uncle and the others."
Ye Xingguo was relieved after safely delivering Ling Xuan to his father. He felt his trip to Haizhou wasn't in vain, so he went shopping on Haizhou's commercial street. He had already used up all his cloth coupons, and Haizhou had processed fabrics and cotton for sale without coupons.
Ye Xingguo asked around and then joined the crowd to buy cloth and cotton for his daughter. No tickets were required for these, just money.
Ye Xingguo was also worried that his daughter would be waiting at home and worrying, so after buying the things and sending them back to the guesthouse, he went to the train station to buy a return ticket. He didn't dare stay in Haizhou for too long, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
A few days later, Ye Xingguo came back with a big backpack.
Seeing her father coming back alone, Ye Shuning quickly took his backpack and asked, "Dad, is everything going well?"
Ye Xingguo replied, "It went smoothly. Ling Xuan's father is still in Haizhou. I sent him to his father and watched them meet before leaving."
Ye Shuning felt relieved after hearing this, "That's good, he should be safe once he's with his father."
Seeing that her father had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, Ye Shuning quickly made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for her father. She felt relieved after seeing her father eat it.
Ye Shuning boiled some hot water for her father to take a bath, and then she urged him to go to the kang to rest.
Ye Shuning wanted to go up the mountain to catch some pheasants and rabbits to nourish her father.
Li Shaozhong was worried and insisted on following, "Xiao Ning, I'm fine now, and it's time for some exercise. Just let me follow you. I'm worried about you going up the mountain alone."
Ye Xingguo had already set up several rabbit traps in the mountains, and he would get some harvests from time to time. Ye Shuning was not afraid that Li Shaozhong would follow him.
The two of them walked slowly into the mountain carrying their backpacks. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Shuning released her mental power to observe the surrounding environment to see if there were any small animals such as rabbits and pheasants.
She arrived near the place where her father had set a trap and used her mental power to check. There was indeed a rabbit eating grass nearby, but the rabbit was not trapped. She tried to use her mental power to drive the rabbit away, and after a long time, she finally drove the rabbit into the trap and got it trapped.
Ye Shuning wiped the sweat from her forehead. Just chasing such a small animal had exhausted her. If Li Shaozhong hadn't been following her, she could have simply taken the rabbit back to the research institute. There would have been no need for such an effort.
Seeing Ye Shuning sweating profusely, Li Shaozhong said with concern, "You must be tired. How about we take a break before we go?"
Ye Shuning was afraid that the trapped rabbit would escape, so she said, "The place in front is where my dad set the rabbit trap. Let's take a look first."
Ye Shuning was the first to walk towards the destination. When she arrived there, she saw a rabbit trapped and struggling fiercely.
When Li Shaozhong saw that the rabbit was really caught, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed it. He held it up and said happily, "Xiao Ning, I really caught a rabbit. This rabbit trap that Uncle Ye made is really powerful."
Ye Shuning said, "My dad's traps are mostly around here. Your legs are fine, so you shouldn't walk too far. Just wait here for me. I'll go check out a few other places and be back soon."
Li Shaozhong also knew that he couldn't show off his strength. "Then I'll wait for you here. Be careful."
Ye Shuning carried a basket on her back and walked to another place. She walked quickly to the place where her mental power had just discovered the pheasant. Her mental power could not last long, and she had to catch the pheasant as soon as possible.
Seeing that she was some distance away from Li Shaozhong, she used her mental power to bring the pheasant into the research institute. The next second, the pheasant appeared in her hand.
Ye Shuning swiftly grabbed the struggling pheasant, wrapped its claws with vines, and placed it in the backpack. Then, using the same method, she caught a rabbit and stopped.
With Li Shaozhong around, it was inconvenient for her to operate, and she didn't dare to catch too many prey, so she decided to stop at the right time.
Ye Shuning quickly withdrew her mental power. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and felt that it was not so easy to catch prey with mental power. At this time, she felt a little dizzy, probably because she used too much mental power.
Ye Shuning returned to Li Shaozhong carrying a rabbit and a pheasant.
Li Shaozhong saw Ye Shuning coming back so quickly and asked, "How was it? Did you gain anything?"
Ye Shuning pointed to her backpack and said, "Not bad, I got another pheasant and a rabbit. Don't tire yourself out, let's go back."
Ye Shuning put the other hare into the backpack so that Li Shaozhong would not carry any weight.
Li Shaozhong looked at Ye Shuning carrying the basket on her back and said helplessly, "My leg is fine, no need to be so careful."
Ye Shuning rolled her eyes at Li Shaozhong. "It won't hurt to be careful. Wait until you've consolidated your strength. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You were badly injured back then, and now you're almost fully recovered. Of course you need to be more careful."
