Lin Chen: "Wu Yangcheng was the one who contacted the Bloody Hand Gang."
Xu Guofeng's face darkened even further.
"What happened back then?"
Lin Chen asked again.
He hadn't asked Xu Mengyao, fearing it would upset her. Last time, Lin Chen's relationship with Xu Mengyao wasn't as good, and he hadn't asked Xu Guofeng either.
It was fine to ask now.
Xu Guofeng said in a low voice: "The person who drugged her was Wu Haoyu. He's Wu Yangcheng's youngest son. I got him sentenced to three years after it happened."
Lin Chen: "Only three years?"
Xu Guofeng nodded. "Attempted rape, and there was no violence involved, so we could only get him three years."
"If we try to get a longer sentence using our connections, the Wu family will blow this case up. That would have a huge impact on Mengyao."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
He frowned. "It's been over two years, so isn't he about to get out?"
Xu Guofeng said, "The sentence wasn't handed down immediately. He'll be out in six or seven months."
"Will he get a reduced sentence?"
Lin Chen asked.
Xu Guofeng said, "That's unlikely. I've used some connections; it will be very difficult for him to get a reduced sentence."
Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Xu, why did the Wu family suddenly act? Is it just revenge? Or did someone promise Wu Yangcheng benefits?"
Xu Guofeng's expression changed.
"You mean someone would help Wu Haoyu get out early?"
Lin Chen: "It's not impossible."
"I'll have to ask when we get back."
Xu Guofeng said in a low voice.
"Lin Chen, how did you know it was Wu Yangcheng who caused the trouble?"
Lin Chen: "The people from the Bloody Hand Gang said so. After we left the hospital and returned to the hotel, we were being watched. I didn't want to bring trouble back to the country and affect Little Cici."
Xu Guofeng's expression shifted slightly.
"So, you deliberately led them to you?"
"What if they attack you?"
Lin Chen laughed, "It's easier to dodge a spear in the open than a hidden arrow. It's better to face them directly than wait for them to make a move."
"I saved Solina yesterday. They should know that now is the best time to meet them."
Xu Guofeng nodded.
If they were to resolve the issue face-to-face, handling it now was indeed the most opportune moment.
Lin Chen had just saved Solina yesterday. If they killed him today, it would be a slap in the face to the Dawson Family.
The Dawson Family's retaliation was a sure thing!
"Did you tell the Bloody Hand Gang you were Lin Yu, and about your cooperation with Solina?"
They had already agreed on a 30 million deal, and each subsequent book would bring in another 10 million dollars. If the Bloody Hand Gang moved against Lin Chen, they would be moving against the Dawson Family's interests.
Lin Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
He had considered doing that, but acting directly was more satisfying.
The Bloody Hand Gang was, after all, taking action and gambling. He could beat them up in a justifiable manner and vent his anger.
"Lin Chen, try to take fewer risks in the future. If something happens to you, what will Mengyao and Little Cici do?"
Xu Guofeng cautioned him.
"Uncle Xu, I understand."
"I wouldn't do this if I wasn't confident."
Lin Chen nodded. "Uncle Xu, what's the Wu family's strength?"
Xu Guofeng said, "The Wu family originally had five or six billion in assets. They haven't improved much in the past two or three years. Their assets are probably only around six or seven billion now."
Lin Chen said, "Compared to the Xu family and the Wu family, the gap is widening. Wu Yangcheng must be very worried in this situation."
"If a powerful force approaches Wu Yangcheng, the probability of him targeting the Xu family is very, very high."
Xu Guofeng nodded. "That's true. Lin Chen, don't worry about this. I'll handle it. Our Xu family isn't so easily bullied."
"Mm."
The next day arrived in a flash.
Lin Chen and the others arrived at the airport and boarded a private jet.
"Uncle Xu, I'd like to take a look at the cockpit."
Lin Chen said to Xu Guofeng.
"Alright, I'll take you."
Xu Guofeng brought Lin Chen to the cockpit, where the opportunity was checking the plane.
Lin Chen looked it over, and there were no problems.
The probability of the enemy tampering with the plane was very low. The aircraft manufacturers were very powerful, and causing an accident would seriously affect their company's stock price.
"Mr. Xu, we'll be taking off soon."
The pilot said to Xu Guofeng after completing the checks.
"Alright."
"Fly steadily, my wife hasn't fully recovered yet."
Xu Guofeng instructed.
"Yes, Mr. Xu."
Lin Chen and the others returned to their seats, and the plane took off shortly after. Yang Qingyue wasn't feeling very well, but she didn't have any problems during the flight.
Over a dozen hours passed, and the plane landed safely.
"Daddy."
"Grandpa, Grandma."
"I miss you all so much."
As soon as they got off the plane, Little Cici's milky voice rang out.
She and Xu Mengyao came to pick them up.
"Dad, Mom."
Xu Mengyao called out.
After calling out to her parents, she looked at Lin Chen and whispered, "Honey."
"Hey!"
Lin Chen and the others responded with smiles.
Lin Chen reached out and hugged Lin Xiaoxi: "Little Cici, did you behave yourself while Dad was gone?"
Lin Xiaoxi: "Dad, I was good. I finished all the food Mom made too, I'm a good baby."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Yang Qingyue touched Lin Xiaoxi's little face: "Little Cici, isn't Mom's cooking delicious?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao.
"Grandma, it's not that."
"Mom's cooking is edible too."
Xu Mengyao said, annoyed, "Alright, Little Cici, stop explaining. The more you explain, the worse it gets. Mom, are you feeling alright after the journey?"
Yang Qingyue smiled and said, "I felt a bit uncomfortable during the trip, but I felt much better after Little Lin gave me a few silver needles."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said, "It was just a stagnation of blood and qi, nothing serious."
Xu Guofeng said, "Let's get in the car first."
Xu Mengyao and Liang Ye each drove a car over.
The two bodyguards got into Liang Ye's car, while Lin Chen and the others, five of them, got into one car, with Lin Chen driving.
Xu Mengyao sat in the passenger seat.
Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue were in the back with Little Cici.
Soon, Lin Chen started the car and set off.
"Little Cici, Grandma brought you a gift, you know? Grandma will give it to you when we get home, okay?"
Yang Qingyue kissed Little Cici.
Little Cici's eyes lit up: "Grandma, what is the gift?"
"You'll know when we get back."
Little Cici looked at the front: "Daddy, I love you, Daddy. Did you bring gifts for me and Mommy?"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I did. They're in Dad's bag. I'll give them to you and Mom after we get out of the car."
"Little Cici, what if Dad didn't buy any gifts?"
Little Cici said, "Then Dad can give us kisses!"
Xu Mengyao's heart clenched.
Based on her understanding of Little Cici, this wasn't good.
"Grandma, can Dad kiss Mom outside?"
Little Cici looked at Yang Qingyue and asked.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Indeed.
Yang Qingyue: "Public places are usually a no-go for that."
"Then, can we kiss at home?"
Little Cici continued to ask.
Yang Qingyue: "Well... it's okay at home."
Xu Mengyao turned her head and looked out the window.
She can't hear, she can't hear.
