After Mr. Rong said that, Gu Shengli and the others nodded.
Indeed, the parents' handprints wrap up the child, making it look like the parents are always with the child.
It means that the child is loved and cared for.
Then a strand of Guoguo's hair needed to be symbolically cut off and handed over to Qian Xiaolan for safekeeping.
It means shaving off all worries and having a happy life.
Guoguo was a little devil. When Hu Guifen grabbed her hair, she burst into tears.
When Guoguo started crying, everyone was heartbroken. They all surrounded her and tried to comfort her like a sweetheart.
Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing, the biological parents, were pushed to the back. They looked at each other, both feeling a headache.
The last step is to seal the wine.
The wine was a recipe that Qian Xiaolan asked Xiao Jue to help find when Guoguo was not yet born. She learned to brew it herself, and she told others that Gu Yanqing bought it.
A jar of fine wine is sealed for Guoguo, to be opened on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, symbolizing health and freedom from worries.
After the full moon ceremony, everyone got ready to go out for lunch at the newly opened restaurant.
Gu Yanqing took a group of volunteer young people to the booked restaurant first, and the rest of the elderly and children would go later.
Qian Jingming's identity was not suitable for today's venue, so he just ate something casually and had someone escort him back to the laboratory.
Qian Xiaolan set out half an hour later than the first group of people.
When they arrived at the hotel, they found that the door was closed and there were two soldiers guarding the door. Inside, everyone was sitting around the table with anxious looks on their faces.
Her heart skipped a beat and she searched everywhere for Gu Yanqing's figure.
Everyone else was nervous when they saw Qian Xiaolan, but the sister-in-law, who had no idea, rushed towards her:
"Fourth brother's wife, just now the fourth brother and a few comrades suddenly rushed out to chase someone."
"Your eldest brother and his friends are worried that Yan Qing needs help, so they want to follow him. But, they don't have any skills, aren't they just trying to cause trouble?"
"Fortunately, the Rong brothers pulled him back."
"Someone tampered with the food in the restaurant. The Rong brothers took the restaurant staff to buy new ones."
Qian Xiaolan could only sigh when she heard this.
Those people really showed up!
A few days ago, news came from the base that some neighbors had already known about the strengthening potion, and they had been trying every possible way to steal the potion during this period of time.
But apparently they failed to break into the various troops.
I don’t know how they got the news, but they found out that I was the inventor of the body-strengthening potion, so they wanted to capture me.
Unfortunately, I have been recuperating at home during this period of time, and there are many protectors around the house, and they can't do anything to me.
Those people then hid themselves, waiting for the right opportunity to capture them.
Seeing that everyone was panicked and feeling somewhat guilty, Qian Xiaolan gently comforted everyone, "Don't worry, Yan Qing and the others will definitely catch the man."
As he was talking, Rong Shijin came back with the restaurant staff carrying large and small bags of food.
Qian Xiaolan added: "Everyone eat more to calm down. If you can't finish it, pack it up and eat it when you are hungry."
At this time, Rong Shijin and Qian Xiaolan passed by and whispered in her ear, "There is still one who has not been caught. They have all gone to look for clues. Big brother asked you to be careful."
Qian Xiaolan nodded.
Now she didn't dare to invite the elderly and children over, so she negotiated with the hotel staff and asked them to prepare three more tables of food and send them to her home.
After arranging everything, Qian Xiaolan pulled Rong Shijin aside and asked, "Did your uncle, your younger uncle, and your older and second cousins follow Yan Qing to arrest people?"
Rong Shijin shook his head: "As soon as our group came over, my cousin's husband's comrades-in-arms found something wrong, and with a gesture, they caught three people in one go.
The accomplice was frightened and ran away, and my cousin's husband and his men chased after the frightened man.
Dad originally wanted to stay behind to keep the situation under control, but soon we discovered that there was a rival from Hong Kong City in the private room on the second floor.
That person is always good at stirring up trouble, and every time he makes a small matter into a big fuss.
Dad didn't want to confront that person at this time, so as not to bring bad influence to you, and then he was sent back by the second brother. Do you mean you didn't meet them?"
Qian Xiaolan's expression suddenly became serious.
"Is it only my second cousin who sends my uncle back?"
Rong Shijin's expression also changed: "There is only one way back here, and you didn't meet it, so where can they go?
It was my second brother who volunteered to send Dad off, and we thought that his physique was very good now, so we agreed to let him send him off alone."
Thinking that there was a spy hiding in the dark, the two did not dare to delay any longer. They called home to confirm that Rong Yue and his son had indeed not returned home, and immediately told the soldiers guarding outside the hotel about it.
Qian Xiaolan also secretly left a message to Gu Yanqing in the trading mall.
Almost immediately after the message was sent, Gu Yanqing responded:
[Wife, be careful! We suspect there is another spy hiding in the hotel.]
Qian Xiaolan felt a chill in her heart, thinking that there would definitely be no problem with the couple's relatives and friends.
When booking the hotel, I had already done some research and found that there was no problem with the identity and background of the hotel owner and his wife, as well as the waiters and chefs.
That is——
Qian Xiaolan was standing at the bar thinking, when suddenly something cold pressed against her waist.
"Don't move! Or I'll shoot!"
Qian Xiaolan slowly turned her head and when she saw that face, her eyes suddenly tightened.
The restaurant owner!
Her movements were gentle and her voice was low, so she didn't alarm anyone.
Qian Xiaolan's brain worked rapidly and she made the decision almost instantly.
She calmed down and asked softly, "What do you want to do?
We come to your restaurant to eat and give you money to earn, isn't that good? Why do you still do this? "
The restaurant proprietress's voice suddenly turned cold: "Hand over the recipe, and I won't kill you.
Otherwise, I will let everyone in the hotel be buried with you!"
This sound is wrong!
Qian Xiaolan suddenly twisted her waist extremely, barely avoiding her weapon, and then kicked her hard to the ground, causing the weapon to slide far away.
"You want to threaten me with a broken knife? You really want to kill yourself!"
The woman struggled for a long time but couldn't get up. She was shocked. Qian Xiaolan stepped hard on her face and looked at her fiercely: "Tell me the truth, where did you take the boss's wife?"
The sudden change scared everyone again.
The soldiers who were hiding among the guests to protect everyone immediately ran forward and held the woman down.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
They looked nervous, fearing that something might happen to Qian Xiaolan, which would be their fault.
Qian Xiaolan shook her head and explained, "She is not the restaurant owner's wife. You can interrogate her."
When the restaurant owner learned that another accident had happened, he rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry. When he heard these words, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
