No one answered the first call. Xue Haihui put down the phone and waited for about half a minute, then picked up the phone and called back.
“Beep…beep…”
Gong Linglong memorized the phone number. Just when she thought no one would answer, someone answered. Xue Haihui's expression instantly became respectful: "Old man."
A vicissitudes of life voice came from the other end of the phone, "What happened in your family just now?"
Seeing that he received the news so quickly, Xue Haihui quickly reported what happened at home and also shared his own speculation: "Grandpa, I just received news that Gong Wantang and her daughter and Lu Jingchuan have arrived in Kyoto. The poison that my children were poisoned with tonight was most likely caused by Gong Wantang again."
"With so many casualties in the family, you couldn't even find out it was Gong Wantang who was behind it. If it weren't for the newspaper reporter accidentally photographing her daughter, your Xue family would have been wiped out, and you wouldn't even know who killed them."
Listening to the other party's scolding, Xue Haihui was speechless. "I didn't expect that she survived that year and came back to seek revenge after nearly 20 years."
"It's no use saying this now. If you had shown up back then, she would never have stopped until she had wiped out you and the Xue family." The old man opposite had a cold voice.
The two families are mortal enemies. One side will never give up until the other side dies.
Gong Wantang will not let him go, and he will not let her and her daughter go. He did not eradicate the Gong family's roots back then, and this time he will not give her a chance to escape.
"Grandpa, they arrived in Kyoto today and will definitely take action soon. The Gong family's belongings must be in Gong Wantang's hands. You see..."
Xue Haihui didn't say anything else and waited quietly for his orders.
The other party's instructions were very direct, "We must get the things, and no one can be left alive."
"Grandpa, Gong Wantang's son-in-law is Lu Jingchuan. This is a tricky matter." Xue Haihui reminded him.
"A woman's kindness will not lead to great things."
The old man opposite scolded him, his tone full of dissatisfaction. "The Zhou family, the Lu family, Han Ji and the other Han family behind them have always been at odds with us. If they hadn't united to oppose us over the years, how could our path be so difficult? Before, Lu Jingchuan was working in the army outside, and we couldn't reach him. Now he's back and married a member of the Gong family. He must die."
"Yes, I understand."
Xue Haihui's eyes became even more resolute and stern at this moment, and he also asked for help: "Old man, I am under surveillance here, so it is not convenient for me to mobilize manpower. Please help me."
"Let Cai Zhenghe answer the phone." said the person on the other end of the phone.
Xue Haihui quickly handed the microphone to Cai Zhenghe and made room for him. "The old man wants to talk to you."
Cai Zhenghe answered the phone, not knowing what instructions were given. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, OK, OK."
After hanging up the phone, Cai Zhenghe said, "The old man will dispatch some personnel over here. He will also send people to keep an eye on Zhou Lanqin and her son. Once they find Lu Jingchuan and his men's whereabouts, they will take action immediately. I will assist with the deployment, and you will be the bait in the front."
"good."
Xue Haihui agreed to their arrangement and said with a stern face, "We have to get rid of them quickly, and you have to clean up the mess. You absolutely cannot let the Zhou, Lu, and Han families find any clues."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Cai Zhenghe patted his shoulder.
Xue Haihui had been his partner for many years and was very familiar with his abilities. However, accidents could happen, so he still asked for help: "Old Cai, if anything were to happen, I'd appreciate your continued care for what I asked of you."
"Why are you talking about this again?" Cai Zhenghe looked at him with a serious look in his eyes and asked, "Old Xue, are you hiding something from me?"
"I'm not hiding anything else, I'm just a little worried."
"Gong Wantang has been plotting behind the scenes for so many years, she should have figured out my background very well. I suspect she might have a backup plan."
"It's better to be safe than sorry. Except for Weimin, the other children in the family are still young and have limited abilities. Weifan and his men haven't been found yet. I'm afraid that if we succeed, Gong Wantang's people will take revenge on Weifan and go crazy against Weimin and the others."
"So now I have to prepare for the worst. If this fails and Gong Wantang and her daughter are not eliminated, I will lose my life instead. Please arrange for the descendants of the Xue family to leave Kyoto."
Having said that, Xue Haihui paused, and the look in his eyes became deep and complicated.
He was silent for several seconds, closed his eyes, and made his final decision. "Arrange them to go to the island on the other side. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no worries about lack of firewood. As long as they are alive, the Xue family's roots will not be cut off. Even if I die, they will definitely help us avenge us in the future."
The island on the other side!
Gong Linglong heard these four words very clearly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Cai Zhenghe changed.
This is another great achievement.
If Xue Haihui's last words had not been leaked, she would not have doubted Cai Zhenghe's true identity and would probably have just regarded him as an ordinary accomplice of the Revolutionary Committee.
"good."
Cai Zhenghe had no idea that his identity had been leaked and that his doomsday was approaching, so he agreed to his request without hesitation.
"Old Cai, for the sake of safety, please go and check the things we hid in person. It would be best to move them to another place."
Xue Haihui felt uneasy, his brows furrowed. "Gong Wantang's men were able to sneak into my house and come and go freely. They must have been watching me for a long time. Maybe something has been exposed. It's not convenient for me to go check it out myself right now, and it's not easy to send Weimin either. You should go there yourself."
"Okay, I'll go tonight. Before Gong Wantang and her daughter are dealt with, don't do anything. Just try to lure them out." Cai Zhenghe said.
After telling him these important things, Xue Haihui hurried back and returned via the original route through the secret passage built underground.
Gong Linglong did not follow this time and changed her target to Cai Zhenghe. They provided the opportunity themselves tonight, so she naturally would not miss it.
Cai Zhenghe had actually just returned home from get off work and had not yet had dinner. He was not in a hurry to go out. He took the food he had packed from work and sat alone in the spacious living room to eat.
Seeing that he was not leaving for the time being, Gong Linglong hurried to meet with Lu Jingchuan. Hiding in a safe and dark place, she told him all the secrets she had overheard tonight.
"Linglong, I'll check this phone number. I'm going to go back now and tell Mom to go home immediately. I'll rush over to meet you as soon as possible, and we'll track Cai Zhenghe together."
Gong Linglong nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Jing, ask Mom to contact Jingyang and get him ready. Once we finish collecting the goods, have him bring his team over to collect the harvest."
Lu Jingchuan chuckled: "Okay, I'll do it on the way."
