By the time they reached the Tang family home, it was already close to 11 pm. Guoguo was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open. As soon as they entered the Tang family home, Guoguo yawned and lay in Xu Yun's arms, refusing to open her eyes.
Xu Yun could only gently carry her back to bed and leave the rest to Chou Yeon. When he entered the courtyard, he saw that the light in the study on the third floor was still on, so he followed Tang Jiu to Tang Zhengtian's study.
"Dad, you're not asleep yet, right?" Tang Jiu asked as she knocked on the door.
"Come in." Tang Zhengtian's voice came from inside the room. The two entered and saw Tang Zhengtian take off his glasses and put a thick economics book back on the shelf. He said to the two calmly, "Did the little girl have fun?"
Tang Jiu smiled. "Very much so."
Tang Zhengtian smiled and said to Xu Yun, "Have a seat."
Xu Yun sat down on the sofa and went straight to the point. "I went to ask Doctor An. He did know the cause of your illness, but someone threatened him and told him not to tell you. The reason he told you was because of you."
Tang Zhengtian's expression was calm, as if he had already guessed the answer. He smiled and said, "Is that so?"
"Who?!" Tang Jiu was not so kind. She gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Her eyes were cold. "Bastard … how could he think of such a despicable method?!"
Xu Yun paused for a moment, then slowly said, "He said it was Tang Yifei."
Tang Zhengtian did not have much of a reaction. He nodded slightly and seemed to be thinking about something.
"I'll go find him now!" Tang Jiu felt a ball of fire exploding in her heart. She wanted to ask Tang Yifei, that bastard, why did he do this!
"Wait." Xu Yun pulled Tang Jiu back. "Let me finish."
Tang Jiu was so angry that her arms trembled. "What else is there to say? Doctor An already said so. I already have evidence to let him know that the Tang family has its rules! Doing such a disgraceful thing will result in broken legs and banishment from the family! "
"That's why I asked you to wait." Xu Yun continued, "Tang Yifei must know how strict the Tang family's rules are. With his mind, do you think he will give Dr. An the chance to betray him? If it were me, I would definitely threaten Doctor An to the point where he wouldn't dare to say it even if he was beaten to death. Only then would I be able to trust him. I thought that since Tang Yifei could bribe Black Mink and Jackal, he had the power to threaten Doctor An. But why did Doctor An tell me? Isn't he afraid that Tang Yifei will kill him if he finds out? "
Xu Yun's words made Tang Jiu calm down. Tang Jiu's eyes widened as he asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Tang Zhengtian was full of praise for Xu Yun's analysis. He had thought of this as well. The truth of the answer he had asked so quickly indeed needed to be considered. Xu Yun was so young, but he wasn't disturbed by Doctor An's words. It was indeed not simple.
"I only threatened to cripple one of his hands, and he was already scared to death. Compared to Tang Yifei wanting to kill him, this is nothing." Xu Yun continued his analysis, "Let's talk about two possibilities. The first possibility is that Doctor An is as timid as a mouse. He couldn't withstand any threats, and his psychological defenses could be easily broken. He didn't consider the consequences of revealing Tang Yifei's name and told me."
Tang Jiu nodded, "That's possible!"
"If that's the case, it's easy to confirm. As long as Doctor An's figure isn't seen in Jibei City tomorrow morning, it means that he came back to his senses and knew that Tang Yifei wanted to kill him. That's why he ran away in the night." Xu Yun continued, "If Doctor An is seen in Jibei City tomorrow, then it's the second possibility."
"What?" Tang Jiu asked.
Xu Yun said firmly, "The second possibility is that this matter has nothing to do with Tang Yifei at all. The fact that Doctor An said this name was arranged by the mastermind."
Tang Jiu was shocked. If this matter was not done by Tang Yifei, then how deep was the person who did this hiding?! Compared to Tang Yifei's words, this possibility was scarier.
"I'd rather believe that it was done by Yifei." Tang Zhengtian smiled. He looked at the desk and laughed bitterly, "That way, I'll feel better."
Xu Yun said bluntly, "Whether it's true or not, we'll know tomorrow. There's no point in thinking about it now. Uncle Tang, you should rest early. "
At this time, Aunty Xue walked into the study with a bowl of bird's nest. "Little Tang, eat this and rest early. Your body is in such a condition, it's better not to stay up late."
"Hehe, Aunty Xue, I'm hungry after going out for a while." Xu Yun picked up the bowl of bird's nest and poured it into his mouth without any hesitation.
Tang Jiu frowned, "Hey! Do you have a future? If you want to eat, there's more downstairs! "
"Ugh … ugh … I … I'm hungry. I can't wait." Xu Yun ate as he spoke. In fact, his stomach was about to explode.
Aunty Xue's face was gloomy. Without saying anything, she turned and left to get more bird's nest for Tang Zhengtian.
Xu Yun smacked his lips, "Uncle Tang, Aunty Xue's cooking is really good. Hehe."
Tang Zhengtian understood what Xu Yun meant. He wasn't a useless young man. Tang Zhengtian couldn't help but admire Xu Yun's meticulous thinking. He was always vigilant and careful. This was a very rare merit. Tang Jiu found such a helper. It seemed that the Tang family could be saved.
Tang Jiu pulled Xu Yun out of the study and complained, "Look at you. What do you want my father to think of you? Didn't you say you were full at the night market? You were like a hungry ghost just now. "
"I digest fast." Xu Yun shrugged, "Have you arranged a room for me?"
"You can stay in my room," Tang Jiu said without hesitation.
Xu Yun took a deep breath, "You want to repay me with your body so early? Ugh, even if you want to repay me with your body, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Your family matters aren't done yet. Besides, you've given me such a big hotel. You don't need to repay me with your body, right? "
Tang Jiu glared at Xu Yun, "You're dreaming. What are you thinking? Do you really think you're an artist just because I gave you some color? I let you sleep in my room so that people won't be suspicious. "
Xu Yun suddenly realized. Aiyo, why didn't he think of this? "It seems that I'm not the only one who suspects Aunty Xue."
"What does it have to do with Aunty Xue?" Tang Jiu said, "What do I suspect Aunty Xue about?"
"Ugh? Aren't you letting me sleep in the same room as you because you don't want Aunty Xue to find out that we're not a couple? "Xu Yun said innocently. Could it be that the two of them were mistaken?
Tang Jiu shook her head, "Of course I believe that Aunty Xue won't say anything. I'm just worried that someone will come to confirm it tomorrow morning. If they find out that you're staying in a room alone, they'll definitely use this as an excuse. I just don't want to give them any trouble. It's that simple."
"Then I'll promise you." Xu Yun, "But my goal is to keep it a secret from Aunty Xue. I don't want any mistakes to happen to the people closest to me."
"Don't worry. Aunty Xue isn't what you think," Tang Jiu said confidently.
However, after saying this, she started to doubt herself. How did her father ingest so much medicine? Could it be that someone really tampered with her father's food? That was probably a very difficult thing to do.
After thinking about it, Tang Jiu didn't blame Xu Yun for suspecting Aunty Xue. After all, from anyone's point of view, Aunty Xue was the most suspicious. After all, Xu Yun didn't know how much Aunty Xue had contributed to the Tang family over the years. It wasn't surprising that he suspected Aunty Xue. If she were in Xu Yun's position, she would think the same too.
The two of them walked into Tang Jiu's room one after another. Aunty Xue carried a brand new bowl of bird's nest to Tang Zhengtian's room …
Tang Jiu's room was super luxurious. It was huge, with a pink round bed and a separate bathroom that was as big as an ordinary family's living room. The jacuzzi was nothing compared to Tang Jiu's bathtub. Tang Jiu's bathtub could probably fit two people.
"Yo, it's such a big place. Do you want to take a bath together?" Xu Yun teased.
Tang Jiu rolled his eyes. "Okay, you go in first. I'll be there in a bit."
"You really want to scrub my back?" Xu Yun's face was full of tears. He felt that Tang Jiu's image was a hundred times more virtuous.
Tang Jiu sneered. "Of course. I know a very effective way to scrub your back. I'll pour boiling hot water on your body. I only need to rub a few times and you'll definitely be clean."
"It's pretty clean. Are you plucking a chicken's feathers?" Xu Yun got goosebumps. "I know I can't afford to use you. Forget it, I'll take a bath myself. You can rest and help me find a set of pajamas. Oh right, do you have any clean men's underwear? Can you find one for me? "
Tang Jiu wanted to chop him up with a knife. "Are you done? If you say any more nonsense, I'll castrate you! I'm a girl, where can I find men's underwear for you? Go to hell, you bastard! "
…
Late at night, in Hedong City's Medicinal Cuisine Hotel, Ruan Qingshuang and Qin Wan 'er were watching TV in the suite. They were so bored that they couldn't open their eyes.
"Sister Qingshuang, why do I feel that it's so quiet today? The father and daughter aren't here. It feels like something is missing." Qin Wan 'er said, "When they're here, I feel annoyed … Sigh, what's wrong with me?"
Ruan Qingshuang's heart was empty too. Her sense of loss was much stronger than Qin Wan 'er's. "Okay, don't think too much. Go to sleep. It's not like they're not coming back. They're just going to stay in Jibei for a few days."
"Sister Qingshuang, aren't you afraid that Xu Yun will marry someone and not come back?" Qin Wan 'er stuck out her tongue after saying that.
