Sister Fen walked over and said to them, "Madam, Assistant Shi, it's time to eat."
She had also overheard their conversation and, following them to the dining room, asked, "Can we get our second young master's child back then?"
"Of course, my grandson, Shao Hua's only bloodline. I will never let him be out in the cold."
Sister Fen nodded repeatedly, "If we can bring back the child in that woman's belly, let me take care of the young master. I will definitely take good care of him."
"Good, I'll raise that child in this villa then. That way, when I'm not here, you won't be lonely guarding this villa by yourself." Wu Xiufang had already planned that after Daisy gave birth and the child was brought back, she wouldn't let anyone know.
It would be better to raise him in her private villa. When the crucial time came to inherit the Huangfu family, this child would be a trump card in her hand. The other members of the Huangfu family and those from collateral branches would not be able to snatch control of the Huangfu family from her.
"Thank you, Madam, for always thinking of me." Sister Fen gratefully pulled out a chair for her, no longer disturbing her and Assistant Shi's meal.
During the meal, Wu Xiufang discussed with Shi Yingchang the unclear inheritance of the Huangfu family. Fortunately, Huangfu Sisong was still in good health, so they had to prepare for the future and make plans.
...
On Monday, Tianyi went directly to the police station to find Kang Xi.
In Kang Xi's office, Tianyi took out the USB drive that Susu had found in her coat pocket.
Kang Xi also looked at the contents of the USB drive, and his mood improved considerably.
He had thought that all his previous investigations were in vain, that the person was dead, and no evidence was found, which had been quite frustrating.
But he hadn't expected Tianyi to have an unexpected gain, and the evidence was actually found.
Tianyi asked, "With this evidence, can Zhong Jinqiao be extradited back to the country? From the video, it's obvious that he put something into the second young master Wu's cup."
"What exactly did he put in the wine glass, and was it the poison that directly caused the death of the second young master Wu?" Kang Xi still said with a frown, "These are still unclear. I need to find the autopsy records from that year again. I don't know if the person in charge at the time checked the wine glass that the second young master Wu drank from?"
Tianyi said helplessly, "So, without this evidence, it's still useless to us?"
Kang Xi thought for a moment and said, "Based on this video alone, it's not enough to convict and extradite him, but we can try to contact him and use this video to test his attitude, or ask the local police to question him."
"It seems that's all we can do now." Tianyi knew about the bad things Wu Xiufang had done, but too much time had passed, and many witnesses and evidence had become blurred or disappeared with the passage of time. This investigation was indeed very difficult.
Kang Xi had not given up hope and said, "We can't be discouraged. The police are now fully investigating the killer who murdered Zhang Qiu. If we can catch this person, won't we be able to find out who was behind him?"
When Tianyi was Lv Hongyuan's bodyguard before, he understood that such professional killers were usually hired from abroad.
After completing the mission, these killers would leave immediately.
He said, "I estimate that the professional killer has already left Lancheng. People like them would have arranged their escape routes before they arrived. It's not something that can be done quickly to investigate and catch such people."
"But this is also a clue. The police will not give up anyway." Kang Xi put away the USB drive, regaining his confidence.
Tianyi was infected by his confidence and smiled, "Okay, then the rest will be left to you police. I will continue to investigate the pharmaceutical factory to see if I can prove that those few medicines were made using the recipes from Song Jiaping's ancestral medical book."
"Okay, no matter how difficult it is to investigate, as long as we persist, we will find a way."
Tianyi got up and bid him farewell, then went directly to the group.
For the time being, their investigation had come to a temporary halt, and there were no new clues. Tianyi then devoted all his energy to the group's affairs.
This week, Susu also felt that Tianyi's return home had returned to normal, and they had returned to a peaceful life.
...
Mengyao stayed at home to recuperate for seven days and felt that her body had recovered, but she still didn't want to go back, nor did she want to see Jiaxi.
During this period, Jiaxi had visited the Huangfu family twice to find her, but both times her eldest sister Mengqi had blocked him with excuses. Each time he didn't see Mengyao and had to leave dejectedly.
After returning to the Hong family, Jiaxi dared not tell his family the truth and lied that he had seen Mengyao.
He told his family that Mengyao and the child in her womb were fine, but she just wanted to stay at her parents' house for a longer time.
His aunt said sarcastically from the side, "I think your wife feels that our Hong family is not as wealthy as her own family, and plans to stay until the child is born? What kind of wife have you married? It's like you haven't married at all."
Jiaxi was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made him feel even more uncomfortable. He just glared at his aunt fiercely and left without any explanation.
The old man and his mother could only sigh when they saw the situation, as they couldn't directly go to the Huangfu family to demand her back.
As long as the child in Mengyao's womb was safe, it was fine.
"What's wrong with Mengyao staying at her parents' house until the child is born? It's better than them staying together when they are young and impulsive and can't control themselves." The old man said unhappily to his daughter, "Haven't you always lived at your parents' house? No one has ever driven you away."
Jiaxi's mother took the opportunity to agree with the old man, "Second sister, you have your own house. Now that Luohang is grown up, you can completely move back to your own house. Later, when Mengyao has a child, and they want to have a second or third child, this house will seem small..."
"What do you mean! It's not your place to drive me out of this house!" Jiaxi's aunt immediately jumped up and said angrily to the old man, "Dad, look, someone hasn't said it all along, but in their heart, they've already been driving me out."
The old man waved his hand at her, telling her not to jump up and down at every turn, and said to Jiaxi's mother, "Jiaxi's first child hasn't been born yet, so it's too far-fetched to talk about this. We'll talk about it later."
Jiaxi's mother could only respond with a muffled "yes."
Old Master Hong always thought that as long as he was alive, his three children should be by his side.
No matter how much these three children fought, they were still a family. With him keeping them in check, they wouldn't be scattered here and there.
Jiaxi's mother and aunt both got no satisfaction from the old man, so they dispersed.
...
After Jiaxi left, he felt both annoyed and angry, not understanding why Mengyao wouldn't even give him a chance to explain or apologize.
In a bad mood, he went to Lili's place. As soon as he entered, he took out all his anger on Lili and vented fiercely. Only then did his emotions ease a little.
Lili endured the pain on her body and kept comforting him, cautiously asking, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your wife?"
"A fight? She didn't even give me a chance to fight, or rather, I'm not even worthy of fighting with her." Jiaxi hugged Lili and bit her neck again.
