ng Han truly didn’t know. After ng Qi returned, he did ntion to her that Uncle ng had been rescued, but the escort agency was still not very safe, so Uncle ng was temporarily settled outside and would return once everything was settled.
He didn’t tell ng Han that Uncle ng was severely injured and was recuperating, to prevent her from worrying and wanting to check on him.
ng Qi himself almost couldn’t bear the sight of Uncle ng’s condition, let alone ng Han. He didn’t want her to be anxious, so he rely ntioned that he had been rescued.
As for Ms. Tao and Tao Qin, ng Qi probably still held so resentnt against them, so he didn’t tell them either.
After ng Pei and ng Yunzheng returned, they were constantly busy, with no ti to inform Ms. Tao separately.
Thus, since Ms. Tao saw others return but never saw a trace of her husband, she felt constantly uneasy inside.
Shu Yu felt she deserved it. If she hadn’t insisted on taking Tao Qin to rescue Jiang Kuanyu, Uncle ng would still have been safely in the secret chamber and wouldn’t have suffered so.
Jiang Kuanyu had kept him tied up and tortured for two days, almost costing him his life.
Just thinking about it, Ms. Tao’s voice ca from inside, "Fine, if you won’t tell , I’ll go find your elder brother or your cousin. Soone will tell ."
Ms. Tao seed about to leave, but ng Han quickly held her back, even her voice was much colder than before, "Mother, can you be quiet? My brother and cousin haven’t had a good rest for days trying to rescue Father, and now that they finally have a mont to sleep, you would disturb them? Mother, if you can’t help in any other way, at least don’t make things worse at this critical mont. Do you have any heart?"
"Ah Han!! I am your mother, how can you speak to like this? You, you..."
"Are you really my mother? All these years, I’ve always thought you were Tao Qin’s mother."
"I..." ntioning Tao Qin, Ms. Tao seed a bit guilty, and her voice weakened.
ng Han took a deep breath, "Mother, just stay here in peace. My brother cares more about Father than you do. If you disturb them now, neither I nor Father nor the uncles at the escort agency will forgive you. I need to go help in the kitchen. I’m leaving now."
ng Han was not inclined to speak more with Ms. Tao. After saying this, regardless of Ms. Tao’s reaction, she directly walked away.
However, as she opened the door, she saw Shu Yu standing at the entrance.
Ms. Tao was about to follow, but upon seeing Shu Yu, she instantly stopped in her tracks.
For so reason, she now felt sowhat afraid of Shu Yu.
Perhaps because there was indeed no one standing with her now. Her son and daughter were estranged, and her husband was missing. Even though she was supposed to be the mistress of the escort agency, now it felt like she was an outsider, fearing Shu Yu.
ng Han glanced back and closed the door, "Sister Shuyu, you’re up so early."
Shu Yu nodded, "I need to head out for a bit."
She acted as if she hadn’t overheard anything, as if she was rely passing by, and naturally proceeded to walk forward.
After a few steps, ng Han caught up, "Sister Shuyu."
"What’s wrong? Is there sothing else?"
ng Han pursed her lips, hesitated, and after a mont, quietly asked, "Sister Shuyu, did sothing happen to my father? When my brother ca back, he didn’t look too good, but when I asked him, he wouldn’t say. I feel like sothing might have happened to my father... sothing not good."
