Chapter 1228: Truly a Crafty Tactic

Xinyan knew the old man misunderstood, but she didn’t explain.

The events of today, better not let the old man know for now, it’s not too late to get some information out of those people first.

After all, the old man is getting older and really can’t take much more, once we know who’s targeting the Gu Family, we can come back and discuss.

As for what Second Uncle has been through all these years, we’ll wait until tonight at the guesthouse to listen together with Grandpa.

Xinyan was quick, and she bought two breakfasts on the way.

When she returned to the abandoned factory, those people hadn’t woken up yet.

He Jinxuan was relieved to see Xinyan come over: "You sent the person back?"

Xinyan glanced at the people tied up and thrown on the ground: "I didn’t send anyone to Grandpa’s place. I thought once there’s a result here, I’ll take Second Uncle over when I’m present. With me there, we have an extra guarantee; when people are extremely happy, it’s easier for their body to have issues.

I came out with Grandpa, I have to make sure to get him back safely. Besides, Second Uncle’s current state isn’t good for Grandpa to see, I found another place to settle him down, let him rest for a while."

As she spoke, she handed over the breakfast in her hand: "Eat up, soon Dad’s people should arrive."

She glanced at his wound: "How is it, does it still hurt now?"

He Jinxuan leaned near her ear: "With your bandaging, of course I don’t feel any pain."

Xinyan glared at him: "Is this really the time for jokes."

He Jinxuan was all smiles, as long as his wife was safe, what was a little injury, he began eating breakfast heartily.

Just as Xinyan predicted, as soon as they finished eating, Han Jingchen’s people arrived.

After exchanging a few greetings, they directly threw those people into the rear car trunk, Xinyan and He Jinxuan followed them away.

The car drove out of the city, arriving at the foot of the mountain where Xinyan and Mr. Gu had gone up before, but upon reaching there, the car took a turn and after driving for over ten minutes, went into a courtyard.

Xinyan looked along the way, this house had no other houses nearby.

After those people were brought inside, Xinyan and He Jinxuan also followed in.

The exterior of the courtyard seemed ordinary, but inside was a different story.

Those people were directly taken underground, where screaming their lungs out would likely rouse no one.

The team leader instructed his subordinates: "Throw water on them to wake them up."

Several buckets of water later, the dazed individuals gradually woke up, still mouthing off: "Hurry and untie us, if our boss finds out, you won’t have a good end."

Unfortunately, the team leader was ruthless and immediately lashed them with a whip.

Once they stopped running their mouths, the leader said: "I have no patience, you’d better confess honestly."

When he said this, those people collectively fell silent, all playing mute.

The team leader wasn’t about to indulge them, so he took bamboo sticks and amid their heart-wrenching screams, someone couldn’t resist and obediently confessed.

Upon hearing Xue’s still-hidden trick, Xinyan’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam, truly well-planned.

It seemed she would have to personally meet their master behind the scenes.

Old Xue had truly calculated well, but he hadn’t counted on her as a variable.

Since it’s the Xue Family bloodline, naturally it’s best for everyone to have a loving family reunion.

His legitimate descendants must be filial, and he would let his cherished son and daughter understand the difference between legitimate and illegitimate.

Time was of the essence, Xinyan and He Jinxuan went personally to the place they confessed, fearing any delay might alert them and they’d escape, which wouldn’t be worthwhile.

As for these people, once their master arrives, they will naturally be secretly sent back to the Capital; since they were involved, they naturally can’t be let off easily.

But it was unexpected how deeply Old Xue had hidden them.

This illegitimate child was only three years younger than his eldest son, yet he had kept his wife in the dark, truly a skillful tactic.

What’s it called, preserving the seed?

They could only blame their ill fortune for encountering her, the Xue Family nemesis. It wouldn’t be long before they had a kinship finale behind iron bars.
