Elsewhere, Gong Linglong followed her mother to the dormitory. After closing the door, she asked directly, "Mom, did you bring the cyanosis ulcer venom to the sanatorium?"
Bai Shuixian was about to pour her some water, but when she heard what she said, she paused holding the thermos.
Gong Linglong noticed this subtle movement, moved closer to her, took her arm, and said solemnly: "Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Linglong, I have something to do. Can you not ask?" Bai Narcissus didn't want her to know.
"I can't help but ask."
Gong Linglong already had a guess in her mind, and thinking it was unsafe to talk here, she pulled her arm and slipped into the space.
The space was absolutely safe, and there was no fear of eavesdropping. Gong Linglong no longer held back and spoke out her guess: "Mom, the enemy who killed my grandparents and uncle is in the nursing home, right?"
After asking, before she could answer, he speculated: "Is it Meng Xiaoying and the others who came to visit today?"
"no."
Bai Shuixian shook her head and denied, "They are not members of the Peng family."
Although she denied this question, she did not deny the other question. Gong Linglong frowned and asked, "Mom, who killed Grandpa's family?"
"He's not in the sanatorium." There was a strong hatred in the depths of Bai Shuixian's eyes.
"He is not in the sanatorium, so why did you bring Cyanosis here? What are you going to do?" Gong Linglong continued to ask.
Bai Shuixian took a deep breath and looked at her with a serious expression: "Linglong, I don't want you to get involved in the blood feud of the Gong family. Your grandparents and uncles are watching from heaven, and they wouldn't want you to sacrifice your life for revenge."
"Mom, my surname is Gong. I shoulder the mission of the Gong family's inheritance. It is also my duty to avenge the Gong family." Gong Linglong said this with a firm tone.
Bai Shuixian sighed and said, "Linglong, your responsibility is to continue the inheritance. Mom will take care of the rest."
"Mom, I won't argue with you about this. I just want to ask you one thing: if you make a mistake and the news of your survival is exposed, and your enemy is alerted and escapes, do you think he will immediately take action against me?"
Her question stumped Bai Shuixian and made her panic. She held her daughter's hand, her eyes filled with sorrow and distress. "Linglong, no, I will be careful and won't expose you."
Gong Linglong could feel her mother's strong maternal love for her and was moved, but she did not agree with her plan. She took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Mom, are the Gong family's enemies from the government?"
She suddenly changed the subject. Bai Shuixian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Mom, he works for a government agency, perhaps a high-ranking figure. I'm also working for a government agency now. Do you think it's possible for him and I to meet in some capacity in the future? I look so much like you, and now that I've changed my last name to Gong, he won't be able to guess my identity."
Gong Linglong kept asking questions. Seeing her mother's face full of sorrow and silence, she struck while the iron was hot: "Mom, you don't let me participate in revenge, and you don't tell me about the hatred suffered by my grandfather's family. I know you are doing this for my own good, but if one day I suddenly meet my enemy in some situation, and I have no defense, and he suddenly attacks me cruelly, then..."
"Linglong, stop talking."
Before she could finish her words, Bai Shuixian interrupted her, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing her mother crying, Gong Linglong felt bad too. She held her in her arms and comforted her: "Mom, I'm grown up now and can help you share the pressure. Don't keep all the blood feuds about grandpa's family in your heart. Tell me everything. Let's calm down and carefully discuss a revenge plan."
"Mom, now that you've recovered your memory and are proficient in the art of medicine and poison, you have your own way of revenge. I believe you won't act blindly or impulsively."
"But don't forget that I have contracted the ancient bracelet space and am the chosen heir of the Gong family's inheritance. I also have my own special abilities. We, mother and daughter, can negotiate and cooperate. We can use the abilities bestowed upon us by the Gong family's inheritance to quietly avenge grandpa and the others."
Bai Shuixian listened carefully to what she said, taking it all to heart. She left her embrace, wiped away her tears, and said with a sob, "Linglong, you're right. I was too obsessed with it before."
"Mom, you're not being picky. You're doing this for my own good."
Although her mother did not express all her thoughts, Gong Linglong could guess that she did not want to get involved and had prepared for the worst.
Gong Linglong moved a bench for her to sit on and squatted beside her. She asked seriously, "Mom, you brought cyanosis to the sanatorium. Is there anyone here who is related to the Gong family's enemies?"
Bai Shuixian nodded and told her straightforwardly this time: "The enemy of the Gong family is Xue Haihui, the current deputy director of the General Conference of Revolutionaries and the head of the General Administration of Broadcasting."
After she said this, she stood up and took out a newspaper from the cabinet and showed it to her.
Gong Linglong looked at the man in the photo, but her mind suddenly turned to Xue Hailin, whom she had just met at the door. They looked about 50% alike. She suddenly looked up and asked, "Mom, what's the relationship between him and the Deputy Mayor Xue I just met?"
"Linglong, you are very smart. I came to work in the sanatorium just for him."
Bai Shuixian sat down on the bench, her face filled with hatred, her voice colder than ever. "He's Xue Haihui's biological brother and the current deputy mayor of Seoul. I saw this newspaper at the time and asked your mother-in-law about the Xue family. Later, I accidentally learned that Xue Hailin's mother-in-law was recuperating in a nursing home, so I took the opportunity to come in and work here, hoping to start my revenge on the Xue family with him."
"Mom, doesn't Xue Hailin know the Gong family?" Gong Linglong asked her hurriedly.
"Except for Xue Haihui, no one else in the Xue family has ever seen the Gong family, but they have all sucked the blood of the Gong family. Their family has come this far by stepping on the corpses of your grandfather and his family."
When Bai Shuixian said this, the hatred that had been pent up deep in her heart burst out and tears poured out like a dam breaking.
"Xue Haihui comes from an ordinary family. When he was young, he served in the army. He was injured while on duty with the troops. It was your uncle who saved him."
"Your uncle is a generous and open-minded man, not particular about small matters and making friends widely. He has admired heroic soldiers since he was a child and once wanted to join the army to serve his country. Your grandparents respected his choice, but after he came of age and accepted the Gong family's inheritance, he found that the inheritance he received was contrary to his ideals."
After she finished speaking, Gong Linglong interrupted, "What is my uncle's inheritance?"
"Business."
Bai Shuixian sighed as he spoke of this: "Your uncle had never considered going into business at the time, but the Gong family's legacy gave him a lot of new knowledge he had never encountered before. He said it felt like a brand new door had opened, and he suddenly discovered that there was an endless treasure behind this door. Later, when he went to college, he chose to major in political economy at Wuhan University without hesitation."
"He accidentally saved Xue Haihui while studying at Wuhan University, and they met each other ever since. After Xue Haihui retired from the army, it was your uncle who arranged a good job for him in Kyoto."
