Gong Linglong got up and went to her room, took out the daily necessities from the space, and came out to say to the elders: "Uncle, this is the accommodation that Uncle Han arranged for us. You and Mom will stay here tonight. I will come to pick you up for breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Linglong, go and do your thing. We'll get together again tomorrow."
Gong Chengjun stood up and took out a pigeon blood ruby ring inlaid with diamonds from his body. He placed it in her hand and smiled warmly: "This is a gift from your uncle."
"Wow, uncle, it's so beautiful. You know my preferences so well." Gong Linglong's eyes sparkled with golden light.
Seeing that she liked it, Gong Chengjun smiled deeply and said generously: "My uncle has collected a box of rubies, and I'm giving them all to you. Your grandfather and second uncle also have quite a few, so you can choose whatever you want later."
Gong Linglong accepted it with a smile and happily made a heart shape to him: "Uncle, I won't be polite."
The niece was cute, lively and smart. When Gong Chengjun saw her, it was like seeing his younger sister. He felt particularly happy and the last layer of depression in his body dissipated.
After seeing them off, Gong Wantang poured him some tea. Seeing that his daughter had left some fruit, he took it out for him to eat and continued to talk to him about the Gong family's inheritance.
Lu Jingchuan sent his wife home and without wasting even half a minute, he hurriedly drove to the Public Security Bureau.
"Linglong, why hasn't your mother come back?"
Zhou Lanqin didn't even have time to ask her son before she poured her a cup of tea, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat at the table and talked.
"Mom, my grandfather and two uncles are still alive." Gong Linglong told her with a smile.
"Really?" Zhou Lanqin was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Is my mother-in-law with them now?"
"My uncle is in Kyoto. We contacted him this afternoon."
This trip to Kyoto went smoothly, thanks to the help of her mother-in-law. Gong Linglong now told her the truth about the family affairs.
After hearing this, Zhou Lanqin's face was filled with anger. "So the mastermind behind the tragedy that destroyed the Gong family was Zheng Furen. Xue Haihui was just his subordinate. Zheng Furen was really hiding himself too well. No one expected him to be such a vicious beast that would eat people without leaving any bones behind."
Gong Linglong curled her lips and sneered, "Tonight, Zheng Furen's henchmen attacked the Xue family, hoping to silence them forever. I'm really looking forward to Xue Haihui's expression when he finds out about this."
Zhou Lanqin thought about her son's hasty exit and confirmed with her, "Are Jingchuan and Jingyang going to deal with this matter now?"
"Yeah." Gong Linglong nodded.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while. It was getting late, so Zhou Lanqin got up and poured her some hot water for a bath.
Gong Linglong took a quick shower. When she came out, she grabbed a large bowl of milk and started complaining to her mother-in-law, "I don't know why these three brats have such big appetites. I ate three bowls of rice and two bowls of soup at my grandparents' house tonight, and I had some fruit after dinner. Now my stomach is growling again."
Zhou Lanqin heard her stomach growling loudly, and smiled: "Linglong, make a cup of milk first, I'll boil some eggs for you."
"Mom, don't cook anymore. I haven't finished the pastries you bought before. I'll just have a few pieces of egg cake." Gong Linglong stopped her from working.
"Boil a few eggs, eat well, and sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."
Zhou Lanqin went to the kitchen and started cooking. She boiled all ten eggs in the cupboard at once, let her daughter-in-law eat a few, and left the rest for the two brothers to eat when they came back.
After the eggs were cooked, Zhou Lanqin peeled five for her daughter-in-law and watched her eat them all with her own eyes.
Seeing that she seemed to have finally eaten her fill, he couldn't help but laugh: "There's an old saying, 'A young boy can eat his father out of poverty.' The three of us together probably aren't even as big as five eggs, yet we're such big eaters. Luckily, we have some money. If this happened in the countryside, you, as a mother, would starve miserably."
Gong Linglong also laughed helplessly: "People who don't know would think I'm greedy."
"hehe..."
Zhou Lanqin chuckled, stood up and cleared the table, placed the eggs left for the brothers on the table, and said to her, "Linglong, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and sleep. Jingchuan probably won't be back for a while."
Gong Linglong stood up and said, "Mom, you have to go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow morning, so you should get some rest early."
"good."
After her daughter-in-law returned to her room, Zhou Lanqin turned off the lights and went back to her room to rest.
The temperature in Kyoto at night is lower than in Seoul. Mother-in-law put a thin and comfortable blanket on their bed. Gong Linglong brushed her teeth and lay down to sleep.
At this time, the Lu brothers who were lurking outside the Xue family also captured Xu Ling. He had just led people into the Xue family and lied that Zheng Furen had asked someone who was proficient in poisons to prepare an antidote. They asked Xue Weiqi and others to take the antidote first. After the poison in their bodies was eliminated and the pain was no longer so severe, they would send people out of the city overnight.
The Xue family had no doubts at all, and the five poisoned people took the medicine together. As a result, within a few minutes, they felt even worse.
When they reacted, Xu Ling showed his cruel side. In order to let them die with peace of mind, he kindly told them the order given by Zheng Furen. Yao Meiting was so angry that she almost fought with him to the death.
At the critical moment when Xu Ling led his men to start the massacre, a bullet pierced his arm. A group of police officers hiding in the dark quickly attacked and detained Xu Ling and others.
As for the people in the Xue family who were poisoned for the second time, Lu Jingyang arranged to send them to the People's Hospital. Whether the poison in them could be cured was up to the doctor.
The next morning, when Gong Linglong woke up, she saw that there was no one in the bed next to her. She felt the temperature and found that there was still some residual warmth. It seemed that he had come back to sleep last night and had just gotten up not long ago.
"Linglong, wake up."
Lu Jingchuan brought warm water into the house and said with a smile, "These three naughty brats were already barking before dawn, like beating drums, and they woke up Mom and Jingyang."
Gong Linglong: “…”
She was sleeping so soundly that she was completely unaware of it.
Zhou Lanqin also got up early and said with a smile outside, "Linglong, I just went out to buy some food. You should get up quickly, wash up and eat something."
Gong Linglong touched her belly and stopped crying. She frowned and said, "Brother Jing, why are you so weird? I'm a little panicked now."
"It's a little strange, but the fetus is very stable and the hospital examination is normal."
Lu Jingchuan couldn't figure out the reason either, so he arranged, "Linglong, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup later. The hospitals in Kyoto have better medical skills, so we'll go and confirm it."
"Yes, Jingchuan, you accompany Linglong to check it out. As long as the child is healthy and Linglong is in good health, there is no need to worry." Zhou Lanqin agreed.
When she came out after washing up, breakfast was already on the table, and her stomach started growling again.
Lu Jingyang listened and chuckled, then immediately handed her the porridge and buns, "Sister-in-law, eat quickly. If you dawdle any longer, they'll start howling again."
