CHAPTER 750: 506 IS YECHENG AND THE DRAGON KING THE SAME PERSON?_2

"There is no difficulty." Wu Yifan was unmoved by Grandma Lin’s sob story: "Grandma Lin, I am just doing my job. Lin Jing is suspected of bribing someone to commit a crime against Su Xiaofeng, and the suspect has been arrested and has confessed."

"Yifan, for the sake of our relationship, just give Lin Jing a symbolic punishment. Or you could fine her. I still have some money on me, can you just fine her instead?" Grandma Lin looked at Lin Jing as tears suddenly poured from her eyes: "You foolish child, how could you be so reckless? Isn’t your father’s lesson enough?"

Thinking of something, Grandma Lin began to cry loudly: "I should never have allowed Luo Yuzhu into our home. If we hadn’t welcomed Luo Yuzhu into the Lin Family, we wouldn’t have brought in Su Xiaofeng, this scourge."

"This scourge, Su Xiaofeng, ever since she appeared, our Lin Family has never had peace. What sins did our Lin Family commit to attract such a scourge?" The more Grandma Lin thought about the past events at the Lin Family, the more her heart ached, making it hard for her to breathe.

It’s all Su Xiaofeng’s fault. If not for her, Lin Jing wouldn’t be like this now, and Jianguo wouldn’t have ended up in jail.

The Lin Family is still the Lin Family, everything as it was before.

Listening to Grandma Lin’s words, Wu Yifan’s mouth twitched: "Grandma Lin, I think you should reflect on yourselves rather than crying and blaming others here. If the Lin Family hadn’t employed crooked ideas to deal with a young girl, you wouldn’t be in this situation. To put it bluntly, Lin Jianguo’s issues are serious and were bound to come to light eventually. Are you suggesting that it was Su Xiaofeng who made him commit those crimes as well?"

"Yifan, I know you were sick before, and the doctors said you didn’t have long to live, but it was Su Xiaofeng’s man who saved you. They have shown you kindness, so of course, you would speak for her."

"I only speak based on facts." Wu Yifan gestured to the officers: "Keep an eye on Grandma Lin, take Lin Jing in."

This time Lin Jing was involved in a suspected crime.

Grandma Lin watched as Lin Jing was taken away, feeling a darkness overtake her vision.

The nearby officer immediately supported her: "Old lady, you better rest for a while. She is an adult now, and must take responsibility for her actions."

...

"Has Xiaofeng woken up?" He Ximei and Guaizi, along with Dabao and Xiaobao, hurried to the hospital and asked Pengzi.

Pengzi shook his head: "She’s still sleeping. The dose was a bit high but fortunately, Xiaofeng’s constitution is strong, and the drug acted slowly over a long time. If Xiaofeng’s constitution wasn’t so good, the effects would have been immediate and disastrous."

"This demon, Lin Jing, her intentions are truly vile; she wanted to destroy Xiaofeng. Such an incident, if leaked, not to mention whether the Gu Family could accept it, even in this small county, she would be subjected to everyone’s gossip and backbiting."

"Lin Jing was about to flee, but my brother has already caught her. With such a malicious mind, he won’t let her get away."

Fortunately, his brother was wise and extra cautious, keeping an eye on Lin Jing, otherwise, she really might have escaped.

Nowadays, with transport so advanced, just hop on a bus or train, and you would lose all trace of someone.

"The patient is awake, are the family members here?" the nurse called out from the room.

"Here, here."

"Mom." Xiaobao threw himself on Xiaofeng’s covered blanket, his small eyes blinking: "Mom, you really scared us. Does any part of your body feel uncomfortable?"

Xiaofeng looked at the people around and the pair of children in front of her, unable to gather her thoughts for a long time.

She remembered someone pounced on her, she struggled desperately, and then what happened.

"Mom, what’s wrong with you?" Dabao looked at his unresponsive mother, his small eyebrows furrowing.

"Fengfeng, are you alright?" Guaizi stepped forward with concern.

Xiaofeng suddenly covered her face with the blanket, not wanting to see anyone: "You all, leave. I don’t want to see you all."

That sense of utter despair and fear clung to her heart; she was afraid, she didn’t want to face people.

Seeing their mother like this, Xiaobao immediately burst into tears with grievance: "Grandma, what’s wrong with mom, is she feeling unwell somewhere?"

"No, Mom just hasn’t snapped out of the shock from what just happened. Pengzi, why don’t you take Dabao and Xiaobao out first? I want to talk to Xiaofeng."

He Ximei had heard about it too. If Yifan and Captain Hong had been even a bit later, Xiaofeng would have been in danger. In such a situation, Xiaofeng must be feeling afraid.

In the hospital room, it was just her and Xiaofeng. She comforted Xiaofeng by tucking in her blanket, "Xiaofeng, did you see? As soon as you were gone, so many of us were worried about you. Thankfully, heaven protected you, and you’re safe and sound, without a thing amiss."

She paused, "The bad people have been caught, and of course, they will be severely punished. Xiaofeng, are you feeling upset? If you are, Mom can go for a walk with you."

Listening to He Ximei’s words, Xiaofeng threw off the blanket and flung herself into He Ximei’s arms, "Mom, I’m sorry. I always suspected that the kindness you showed me had an ulterior motive. I thought you wanted to marry me off to your elder son or that you would trade me for your elder son’s bride."

He Ximei felt uncomfortable as Xiaofeng brought up the past.

Indeed, she had entertained the idea of a marital swap. She had even floated the idea once, but Guaizi had not agreed, and she never mentioned it again, although the other party had even approached her later.

"Silly child, people’s hearts can change." He Ximei helped her wipe away her tears, "Mom was also foolish before. Can you forgive Mom?"

"If I never remember what happened in these two years, will Acheng still want me? If he doesn’t come back, does it mean he no longer wants me and leaves me in the countryside so he can remarry?" Thinking about what Lin Jing had said to her, she still felt sad.

"What nonsense are you thinking? Acheng isn’t that kind of person. He will definitely come back," He Ximei comforted Xiaofeng.

"I’m scared."

"The children are all here. What are you scared of?" He Ximei patted her back, "It’s all over now, there’s nothing to worry about."

When Xiaofeng got home, she wanted to call Acheng to ask him what the situation was in the Imperial Capital. Several times she looked at the phone number but didn’t dare to call.

Dabao, seeing Mom staring blankly at the phone number, just picked up the phone to dial home.

The person who answered was Yan Junmei. Hearing her dear grandson’s voice brought her great joy, and she chatted with Dabao and Xiaobao for a while.

Dabao asked, "Where’s Dad?" Yan Junmei paused, "Your dad has been very busy lately, barely touching the ground. I haven’t seen him for several days."

"Okay then."

After hanging up the phone, Dabao, like a little adult, said, "Mom, Dad’s been very busy recently. I’m sure he’ll call us when he’s free."

Xiaofeng, holding Dabao’s hand, said, "Mom isn’t just thinking about Dad. I just want to know if he’ll be able to make it back in time to celebrate the New Year with us."

The day after tomorrow is Little New Year, and after that, it’s the Chinese New Year.

Talking about the New Year, Dabao and Xiaobao were very excited.

This would be their first New Year since they’d become sensible.

...

Men Chao, upon hearing Yin Li’s words, his sharp brow raised slightly, "Are you suggesting that Gu Yecheng and the Dragon King are the same person?"

"It’s not out of the question. According to my sources, the Dragon King defeated all his opponents with his divine power and mysterious skills, and I remember Gu Yecheng is also quite strong. Although there’s a slight difference in their heights—the Dragon King is a bit taller—I’ve seen photos showing that the Dragon King wears shoes that could have inserts to make him taller."

Gu Yecheng’s height isn’t short either, at around one meter eighty, but the Dragon King’s height is more daunting, probably around one meter ninety.

"Isn’t assuming they are the same person just based on these two points a bit insufficient?"

"Grandpa, I remember Su Xiaofeng has good relations with both the Dragon King and Gu Yecheng. If we use Su Xiaofeng as a lure, we might be able to test if they are indeed the same person. Unfortunately, Su Xiaofeng has gone back to the countryside," Yin Li lamented.
