"The story of the farmer and the snake?"
Gong Linglong had a guess after hearing this.
Bai Shuixian pulled the corners of her mouth sadly, nodded slightly, and continued: "The farmer and the snake, let the wolf into the house, two classics superimposed."
"Has Xue Haihui been plotting against my uncle from the very beginning?" Gong Linglong couldn't help but conspiratorially associate it.
"That's not the case."
Bai Shuixian shook her head in denial and continued, "He was somewhat sincere in his relationship with your uncle at the beginning. At the beginning, your uncle didn't tell him about the Gong family's background, nor did he even tell him that he was a college student."
"It wasn't until your uncle arranged for him to work in Kyoto that he gradually became blinded by his desire for power, and soon began to develop some inappropriate thoughts."
"The biggest turning point was probably when he confessed his feelings to me when I was just an adult, and I rejected him at the time."
"I felt we weren't the same type of people. We both had different personalities and pursuits. I'd also accidentally met his parents and relatives before, and they weren't easy to get along with. They were obsessed with currying favor with powerful people, and their words and actions were vulgar and petty. So I clearly rejected them at the time, and not long after, I went on a blind date with your father and got engaged."
"After I got engaged, he came to see me once. He implicitly accused me of being materialistic and looking down on others. He swore in front of me that he would eventually climb to a high position and become someone the Gong family looked up to."
"He was so self-righteous that he thought I was that kind of person. I didn't bother to explain to him that he was just my friend, not mine. After that, we completely cut off contact."
"After graduating from university, your uncle was assigned a job in Kyoto. After a few interactions with Xue Haihui, he noticed that he had changed, and he distanced himself from him."
"During the two years since I got married, I would occasionally go back to my parents' home and hear your grandparents talk about Xue Haihui. Although he no longer comes to the Gong family as often as before, he still causes trouble for the Gong family behind the scenes. However, they are all low-level methods that are not exposed openly."
"It wasn't until three months before the Gong family's incident that Xue Haihui officially visited them again. He found a high-sounding excuse and forced the Gong family to hand over all their savings and property. At that time, he also had a so-called treasure map in his hand."
"Your grandpa and his family didn't tell me a lot of things that happened afterwards. It wasn't until I suddenly divorced and returned to my parents' home that they told me."
"Your grandfather told me that the Gong family does have a treasure. It contains the wealth accumulated by the Gong family for thousands of years. The Gong family's inheritance that your grandfather inherited is the art of mechanical engineering. He personally set up the mechanism of the treasure trove. Even if outsiders have the blueprints, they cannot open the entrance to the treasure."
"He had a premonition at the time and was certain that Xue Haihui didn't have the ability. He was just a pawn used by others to deal with the Gong family."
"Your grandfather was investigating the identity of the person behind this, and he did find some clues. However, he didn't expect Xue Haihui and the people behind him to be so ruthless. When their plan to rob failed, they actually collaborated with a gang of underworld forces, broke into the house, set fire and killed people."
Bai Shuixian thought of the scene where her mother died at the hands of Xue Haihui to save her and her two siblings, and the scene where the whole family was trapped in the sea of fire and her father activated the mechanism in the house to send her away. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't speak.
Even though she didn't tell the details, Gong Linglong could imagine the scene of her grandfather and others dying in an untimely manner. It must have been extremely painful and sad.
As for how her mother survived, she didn't ask. Instead, suppressing her overwhelming hatred, she asked, "Mom, during the time you worked at the nursing home, you must have inquired about the Xue family. What did you find out?"
Bai Shuixian was so emotional and grief-stricken that she couldn't speak clearly. "Xue Haihui, he's in Kyoto. His two elder brothers live with him in Kyoto. His wife, son, and daughter are all in Kyoto. Xue Haihui is the second son of the Xue family. Xue Hailin is the eldest son. There's also a third son, Xue Haiping, and a younger sister, Xue Haihong."
"Except Xue Haihui who is in Kyoto, the other three siblings are all in Seoul. Xue Hailin's eldest son is deeply loved by Xue Haihui and has followed him to Kyoto. The others are all working in government agencies and state-owned factories in Seoul."
Bai Shuixian has been taking good care of Mrs. Peng during this period, and has also learned a lot about the Xue family from her. She has also found out the workplaces of Xue Hailin and his two siblings.
"Mom, please write me the general information. You can continue working as usual and don't do anything else. I will go and investigate in detail first."
"Also, give me the cyanotic ulcer."
Bai Shuixian had recovered by now and looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Linglong, help me investigate, and I will take care of the revenge. I don't want their lives to be on your hands."
"Mom, the lives of my grandparents, my two uncles, and your miserable half-life were all caused by Xue Haihui and the people behind him."
"We have only a mortal feud with the Xue family, and that blood debt must be repaid with blood."
"I am your only daughter and the only bloodline of the Gong family. It is my responsibility to avenge my grandparents and uncles."
"I know you want me to live a clean life and not leave a bloody mark on my resume, but I have the blood of the Gong family flowing in my veins. I can't stand by and watch while you take revenge."
Bai Shuixian understood her heart, but she still had reservations, "Linglong, I don't want you to have any worries."
"Mom, I knew the identities of my enemies, but I didn't make them pay with my own hands. The hatred in my heart was not released, and it will leave a lifelong knot in my heart."
Gong Linglong has experienced hatred in her previous life, and her heart is stronger and more indifferent than that of ordinary people. She will not have any sympathy or pity for her enemies, and will not hesitate at all in the process of revenge.
As for the bloody and cruel process of revenge, it may leave some shadows in the heart at first, but when thinking of the tragic death of relatives, this shadow will soon be digested and dispelled.
Seeing that her mother was about to say something, Gong Linglong stood up and interrupted, "Mom, there's no need to say anything more. Please write down the information you found and give me the cyanosis ulcer. I will quietly administer the medicine to the Xue family and will definitely not let them find out about us."
Seeing her firm attitude, Bai Shuixian didn't say anything else and took out the small glass bottle hidden on her body.
Gong Linglong put the bottle away and asked, "Mom, are you planning to drug Xue Hailin today?"
"Today is the birthday of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Peng. I heard that he would come to pick her up to celebrate her birthday today, so I planned to find an opportunity to drug him." Bai Shuixian confessed to her.
"Mom, you continue to work normally in the nursing home. Don't go out of your way to find out the news. Leave the rest to me."
Gong Linglong took her out of the space and looked at her watch. Seeing that it was already past twelve o'clock, she arranged: "Mom, you go to the cafeteria to eat. I'm going back to work first."
"Linglong, eat your meal before leaving." Bai Shuixian said as she went to get the lunch box.
"Mom, I'm not eating here anymore. I'm going back to the company cafeteria to eat."
When Gong Linglong left, she saw her eyes were red and she cautiously reminded her, "Mom, take a rest, wipe your eyes, and adjust your mood before going out."
"Okay." Bai Narcissus nodded.
