"Yes, he wasn’t as powerful before, but he was always doing quite well," Beitang Xinya clenched Beitang Tingxue’s hand tightly. "Tingxue, what did you an by what you just said? Why did your Second Brother leave ho?"
"My Second Brother said he wants to make a na for himself before coming back!" Beitang Tingxue looked at Beitang Xinya, her eyes shimring with tears as she choked up and said, "Once, when he ca back to visit family, I played rock-paper-scissors with him and got him drunk. He held and said that our family has no support, and money can’t solve everything, we’ll still get bullied! He said he wants to make sothing of himself, that he wants to stand out, and in the future, if anyone dares bully us, he’d shoot them! Mom..."
Beitang Tingxue called out to Beitang Xinya, gripping Beitang Xinya’s hand, tears slipping from her eyes, her voice trembling. "Mom... I’m sure my Second Brother caught my dad with Wu Jiarun! Then my dad must have threatened my Second Brother, saying Wu Jiarun’s uncle has power, and if my Second Brother dared to reveal his secret, he’d have Wu Jiarun’s uncle deal with us. Then my Second Brother must have been so provoked that he left ho abruptly without finishing college! Mom, that’s it! That must be it!"
Beitang Xinya bit her lip, body trembling.
After a long while, she looked up at the ceiling, struggling to hold back her tears. "It’s... it’s because I’m useless..."
She was a doting mother.
She had pampered her three children from a young age, unwilling to let them suffer even a bit.
When her second son finished high school, he refused to continue his studies.
How could she bear to let her son endure such hardship?
Besides, she feared her son might be selected for dangerous missions.
She strongly opposed, yet her normally obedient second son insisted on leaving, even if it ant having a cold war with her.
Her son had been practicing martial arts since he was young, was physically fit, intelligent, and especially clever, quickly becoming elite.
At any mont, he could sacrifice his young life to protect his country.
She awoke countless tis from nightmares, dreaming that her son accidentally died while on a mission.
She never understood how her pampered son could withstand such hardships.
Now, she understood.
Because her son had been threatened by the Wu Family.
Her son wanted to beco strong and protect them.
Thinking of her son, whom she could only see once a year or even less, she covered her mouth, crying uncontrollably.
The living room was silent, only the sound of Beitang Xinya’s suppressed sobs remained.
Beitang Tingxue, however, stopped crying.
With her hands clenched tightly, her eyes burned with a furious light, her anger blazing, her teeth clenched so hard they made a grinding noise.
She would not let Yue Zhi and Wu Jiarun’s conspiracy succeed!
What about a superintendent?
She wasn’t afraid!
There are many people more powerful than a superintendent in this world.
She couldn’t believe that a superintendent could cover the sky with one hand!
Suddenly, Gu Junzhu’s phone rang.
All eyes turned to him.
He answered the phone and placed it by his ear, "...Okay, I understand... Find a way to let Yue Zhi and Wu Jiarun know without a trace that we already know about Yue Qingqing’s leg not being broken."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Ye Xingbei imdiately asked eagerly, "Yue Qingqing’s leg isn’t broken?"
Gu Junzhu nodded, "That’s right."
"Then why did you have Xiao Gu Qi hint to them that we already know Yue Qingqing’s leg isn’t broken?" Ye Xingbei was puzzled. "Isn’t that alerting the enemy?"
"No," Gu Junzhu smiled slightly, "The most likely outco is they’ll make sure Yue Qingqing’s leg really gets broken."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
