’s hand, earnestly saying: “I’m so sorry that Rong Ling ended up like this, and I completely understand how you feel. But, please give me some time, and also give your son some time. Your son isn’t th...The old woman subtly asked Li Lanqiu to leave, which made Li Yiping very angry. She felt that the old woman didn't give her any face at all. After all, she was the legitimate daughter-in-law of this family, and she had made many contributions to this family over the years. Now, her cousin just came to live here for a while, how could she offend the old woman so much! There were so many empty rooms in this house, why couldn't they let her cousin stay What was wrong with her cousin, she wasn't a bottomless pit! She only ate three meals a day, how could she possibly bankrupt the He family!

At first, Li Yiping harbored some resentment towards the old woman. Now that the old woman had publicly refuted her, she couldn't help but voice her disagreement.

"Grandma, this is perfectly fine. Why would you let Lanqiu move out We have plenty of room here!"

Old Mrs. He narrowed her eyes, extremely displeased that someone dared to disobey her, especially since Li Yiping had previously been close to Rong Ling. Whenever she thought of Rong Ling, she thought of the hardships her family had endured before. This made her very uncomfortable. Of course, she had long forgotten the benefits brought about by Li Yiping in those early years!

Some people, when they reach a certain point, will selfishly engage in selective forgetting, only seeing what they are willing to see.

"She's a married woman, she has a good home and doesn't stay there. She always stays at other people's houses. What on earth is the matter Lan Qiu, you should return to your parents' side quickly, don't hurt their hearts!"

Old Mrs. He looked at Li Lanqiu with a seemingly kind face. She still wanted to put on a good face, even for this kind of job.

Li Lanqiu secretly sneered in her heart, but on her face, she remained cold and expressionless.

"My heart has been broken by them, what's the point of going back! Grandma, I appreciate your kindness, but no matter what my parents have said to you, I won't be going back!"

She was one step ahead, pretending to be clueless. She knew this was He Lao Tai's personal opinion, yet she shifted the focus to her parents. Rong Qikeng had just come over to stir up trouble, and she wasn't oblivious to it. Regarding anything related to Rong Ling, she had already done her homework. Even using her toes, she could guess that Rong Qikeng's arrival was definitely not a good thing! Just now, he even attacked He Ya, things seemed pretty serious!

Old Mrs. He must be angry!

The old woman was choked by Li Lanqiu's words and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to be so careful. In fact, with her current status and position, Li Lanqiu was just an ant, she could deal with her as she pleased, no need to give her face or beat around the bush to ask her to leave!

Thinking this, her tone began to turn ruthless.

It's not that your parents did anything to me, but the relationship between you and Rong Ling is such that I can't stay here with you!

Li Yiping's face changed color, but Li Lanqiu's remained unchanged.

Then Old Madam He continued, (..tw) "Rong Ling's family is now large and prosperous. You could go to him for refuge. As for this place, I don't want anyone related to him here!"

After finishing his words, he looked sharply at Li Lanqiu.

Li Yiping couldn't help but cry out, she never expected that this old woman would be so shameless! If they were to be serious, she was also related to Rong Ling. What did grandma mean by that!

Grandma!

Has she ever considered where her words have placed her

But in this family, Old Mrs. He was like the Empress Dowager, someone you couldn't provoke at will. Feeling both anxious and annoyed, Li Yiping thought that she couldn't directly confront the old lady, nor could she let her cousin look down on her. So she came up with a compromise.

"Grandma, it's so late today. Lanqiu should leave tomorrow instead. Our He family is well-respected, rushing someone out like this would make people talk."

Old Mrs. He took a long look at Li Yiping, her face impassive, and nodded slightly. First of all, she was a very proud person and hated being gossiped about; secondly, Li Yiping was the mother of her great-granddaughter, so she had to give her some face.

Although she nodded, anyone could tell from her ghostly appearance that she was unhappy. Li Yiping simply pretended she had cotton in her ears and didn't want to think about anything, so as not to appear agreeable in front of Old Madam He. As soon as the matter was settled, she took Li Lanqiu out.

There's a real bad omen in this house, it's practically cursed!

Li Lanqiu looked at this scene, her heart was both ashamed and angry. No matter who it was, being driven out like this without any face, it would definitely be unpleasant in their hearts. Looking at the old woman's self-righteous appearance, Li Lanqiu sneered with disdain in her heart. She was almost dying, but she didn't know it herself. When she handed over the stolen goods from here to the top, then she would make the He family pay the price.

As soon as Li Lanqiu returned to the country, she moved into the He family's home. She wasted no time diving straight into the study, a restricted area, and managed to steal a considerable amount of valuable information. He Kuan, a member of the He family, held an important position in the military and handled numerous confidential documents that were strictly prohibited from being leaked. Once these documents fell into Li Lanqiu's hands, she planned to expose them later on. At that point, a charge of leaking military intelligence and jeopardizing national security would be enough to bring down half of the He family!

Today you drove me, tomorrow I will let your family have no good fruit to eat!

Li Lanqiu hummed in her heart and after comparing it again, she went back and started packing her luggage. She was also an arrogant person and didn't bother to look at an old woman's face. However, the old woman was too disrespectful, and she didn't want the old woman to have it too easy. This person is quite vengeful. So when Li Yiping followed her back to the room with a bad expression, she directly stirred up the relationship between Li Yiping and the old woman, letting Li Yiping make other plans, otherwise, she would be suffocated in this family in the future! Li Yiping knew it well, but making other plans was easy to say but difficult to do. For a moment, she was stunned.

Li Lanqiu let out another cold snort.

"Sister, if it weren't for you today, I would have left directly. To be honest, what the old lady did was too embarrassing for you. But if I just left now, people would laugh at you when they looked back. So, for you, I'll endure one more day, and leave tomorrow night. We can't let others make fun of you!"

When Li Yiping heard her advice, she felt a spark of excitement in her heart. That's right! She had already caused a stir before when Rong Qi had spoken out against her. As a result, her cousin had to leave. If this got around, she would be the laughingstock of everyone. The people in this wealthy social circle were idle and gossipy. They loved to spread rumors and manipulate others. Now that Li Yiping had made herself look bad, she wouldn't have any face left in this circle and wouldn't be able to mix with them anymore.

Thinking of this, she felt a bitter feeling in her heart, but it was unbearable. She could only thank Li Lanqiu and coax her for a while with kind words. Then she changed the subject and asked Li Lanqiu where she planned to go. Was she going to meet up with her parents who were currently staying at the hotel, or should she book another hotel for her, or send her back to Rongling Li Lanqiu said she wanted to stay in a different hotel, and Li Yiping immediately breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, muttering "Amitabha Buddha," and hurried to contact a hotel for her.

Once the house was left with only Li Lanqiu, she quickly used her phone to contact her organization. Now that she had been driven out by the old woman, leaving her nowhere to go, this was a great opportunity, and she wouldn't waste it. The other end of the organization said that Rong Ling was suspicious and there was more than a 50% chance he was a secret agent from z country. This could be seen from his hidden strength and suddenly becoming the president of Shuangmu Group today. Moreover, there had been suspicious personnel movements at Rong Ling's residence. Therefore, the order she received was to return to Rong Ling's side again to investigate him better, preferably obtaining some confidential information from him.

Throughout history, it has been an open secret that countries have been engaging in activities such as planting spies and gathering intelligence on each other. At the same time, nations are also wary of their own important information, especially military intelligence, falling into the hands of foreigners. The leakage of this information can have varying degrees of impact, and the specific losses are immeasurable. In short, for spies, catching a few is better than none!

Originally, Li Lanqiu's plan was to take a few days off before returning to the competition. She had only been invited out of the villa by Rong Ling less than a day ago. If she could wait for Rong Ling's emotions to calm down and return, that would be best. However, Old Madam He is now like a wicked woman, driving her away, creating a great opportunity for her, and she can only bring her plans forward.

She claimed it was for Li Yiping just now, but in reality, it was mainly for herself. Now she left impulsively, which was a missed opportunity. The people on the organizational side couldn't be arranged immediately either. But with a day's buffer time, she could guarantee that the show tonight would be absolutely foolproof.

The second night, Li Yiping, in order to maintain her own face, warmly invited Li Lanqiu to have dinner after which she put on a show of sisterly affection and harmony, making it seem like Li Lanqiu was living happily with the He family. Only then did she drive Li Lanqiu to the hotel. On the other hand, Li Lanqiu’s companions also took action. In the end, Li Yiping’s car was surrounded by two vehicles on a slightly secluded road. Four men, all with scraggly beards and large sunglasses at night, jumped out of the cars. They approached without a word and smashed the car window with their hammers, roaring terrifyingly.

"Come out!"

No matter how Li Lanqiu struggled, he pulled her out of the car and pressed her onto the hood. Meanwhile, Li Yiping was held at bay by someone with a knife pointed at her, warned not to move or she would be killed.

Li Yiping looked on in horror, completely clueless about what was happening. She trembled and tried her best to hold back. Her eyes widened as she saw the menacing figure holding a knife against Li Lanqiu's neck, demanding to know where the goods were.Li Lanqiu was terrified to tears, insisting that she didn't know anything. The man slapped her, telling her not to play coy and to spit out the location of the hidden drugs. Even though Li Lanqiu kept saying she didn't know, claiming amnesia, the villain clearly didn't believe her. He gave her several more slaps and pressed the knife directly against her neck, threatening her. The blade was sharp, leaving a red mark on Li Lanqiu's neck. Terrified, Li Lanqiu screamed and cried for mercy, pleading that she truly didn't know anything. She begged Li Yiping to vouch for her, claiming she had amnesia, with hospital records to prove it.Li Yiping swallowed nervously, her face as white as a sheet, unable to speak. All she could do was nod desperately.

Those few evildoers seemed to have believed it, but they still threatened viciously.

"Whether or not you're really suffering from amnesia, your husband hid something, and you have to help me remember it. We'll be back in three days. If the situation remains the same, I'll obliterate you!"

After finishing his words, he stabbed Li Lanqiu's leg viciously and said menacingly.

"This is a warning, you remember that. Go back, and think things over properly! Also, don't call the police, or else, you'll die very badly! We only want the goods, cooperate with us, and we absolutely won't make things difficult for you!"

Then the four people, just like when they arrived, released Li Lanqiu and quickly dashed back into the car, driving away like the wind. The whole process lasted less than five minutes!

Li Yiping wondered who on earth her military husband had made enemies with. Despite her fear, she widened her eyes and stared at the license plates of the two vehicles, hoping to find a clue. But it was obvious these people were prepared; both cars were unlicensed!

These people, it's obvious they came prepared!

Li Yiping's heart was filled with dread. She stumbled out of the car and peered at Li Lanqiu, only to see her pale face sitting on the ground, biting her lip but not moving an inch, as if she had been terrified out of her wits. Her hands trembled as she clutched at her leg, but she couldn't stop the blood from soaking her palms.

Li Yiping shuddered violently once again.

On one side, a car whizzed past with a roar, "Whoosh!" The locals, tightly controlled by the authorities, have always been cowardly. Seeing this, they now hide as far away as possible. Bravery is almost extinct!

Li Yiping couldn't tell if she felt disappointed or relieved. She had anticipated the threat from the villain and knew she couldn't report it to the police. Her priority was to leave this dangerous situation as quickly as possible. The local police were notoriously inefficient, so there was no need to worry about a miracle happening and a responsible officer rushing to her aid.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yiping got out of the car and picked up a white towel from inside.

"Lan Qiu, let me stop the bleeding for you first!"

She crouched in front of Li Lanqiu and, with great effort, Li Yiping pulled away Li Lanqiu's hand. It seemed that Li Lanqiu was still deeply frightened. When the thick white towel roughly wrapped her thigh wound and the bleeding subsided, Li Lanqiu seemed to come back to herself. "Wow," she cried out and repeatedly called out Rong Ling's name.

"I want to go home, take me back to my home, take me to him..."

Li Yiping's heart moved slightly. She thought to herself that her cousin was indeed deeply in love with Rong Ling. In the face of great danger, the first person she thought of was him. Sending her to Rong Ling now was also a good idea. After all, Rong Ling's status was different now, and he had some ability to protect people. As for herself, her grandmother-in-law at home had that attitude; it was estimated that she wouldn't be able to use the power of the He family to help her cousin. As for her uncle and aunt, they were just businessmen with no power or influence. Kyoto was foreign land to them, so they couldn't do anything...

Just as she was racking her brains, Li Lanqiu had already staggered to her feet, supporting herself with the car. She clambered into the vehicle, muttering through sobs that she just wanted to go back to Rong Ling's side.

Li Yiping hurriedly reached out to help her, feeling both pity and love for her. She coaxed her for a few words, assuring her as she wished, and then started the dilapidated car and drove towards Rong Ling's residence. Li Yiping thought to herself, Li Lanqiu was in trouble now, her life hanging by a thread, Rong Ling couldn't possibly stand idly by. By sending Li Lanqiu back now, Rong Ling wouldn't possibly let her leave!it on for you!"Eyes that speak, revealing an indescribable charm.He stopped trying to persuade her and instead kissed her deeply. He felt as if every pore on his body had been opened, a feeling of ind...
