Chapter 1308: Accepting Reality

ed into Liang Chen's arms, still trembling slightly, as if frightened.Liàn Yī was amused, her lips curved into a smile, stopping Liáng Chén from pulling out Xiǎo Huī again."Your little pet has a very..."I don't want to stay here, I want to go back."

Tao Shiyun immediately said, at this time she was even more afraid of being abandoned by Mrs. Tao.

Tao Shixu thought for a moment before opening his mouth and saying:

"Mom, I want to wait until my father's judgment comes down before burying my mother's remains and giving her a proper burial. Then, I plan to study abroad. You could come with me and my sister so we can avoid some of the gossip. "

Tao Shixu has always regarded himself as the eldest brother and was cultivated by Tao Jingfeng as his successor. Although his thinking is still immature, he has also learned to consider the overall situation.

Mrs. Tao finally showed a relieved smile, but she still spoke from the practical point of view:

"Xu'er's idea is very good. No matter what, we should let your birth mother rest in peace. When things here are settled, I will send you two abroad to study and learn some real skills to come back and inherit the family business."

"The Tao family here in Hong Kong needs someone to stay and oversee things. I need to protect our family business until you two are finished with your studies and I can hand it over to you both. The Tao family can only be yours."

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

They were both deeply touched, feeling that they still had a place in Taofu's heart.

When Tao Fu saw the two children call her "Mom" again, the stone in her heart finally fell. It seemed that using a conciliatory approach was the right way to go. If she had been forceful and tried to clear herself or even scolded the children, it would only have pushed them further away. After all, legally speaking, after Tao Jingfeng's problems, both she and the two children had inheritance rights.

And she was very clear in her heart that the woman named Xi Ruo would definitely not let Tao Jingfeng go. Thankfully, there was a powerful figure keeping things in check, so as to avoid any harm coming to her. In this situation, she naturally had to prioritize her own interests first.

It can only be said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, when disaster strikes, they fly separately. Tao Fu's consideration is simply a realistic one about the current situation.

After Wen Yu Lian moved into Lian Yi's house, Tao's mother came to see Lian Yi alone and proposed to compensate Xi Nuo.

She insisted that she had nothing to do with her husband's murder plot and said that she was terrified when she learned the truth. She couldn't imagine that the man she had shared a bed with for almost thirty years could be so cruel.

She was afraid that one day, if she did not live up to her husband's expectations, she would disappear silently like Xi Nu. So now she felt both lucky and afraid, and a little self-reproachful.

The ripples show that Tao Fu is a smart woman. The other party did not appear in Xi Nuo's life, so one could say she only tacitly allowed her husband's infidelity for the sake of their child.

Things had come to this, which was beyond her expectations, so she wanted to make amends. In reality, it was a way of buying peace of mind.

Ripples generously took out three pebbles the size of pigeon eggs and said to Lady Tao:

"This is a Fu of Peace I made, you can ask someone to make it into a pendant charm to carry with you. Remember not to leave it behind, it will protect you from evil."

Thank you, Miss Chou.

Tao Fu carefully took the things, then handed a sum of money to Lian Yi, calling it "hard work fee." Lian Yi accepted it with peace of mind.

Three days later, Tao Jingfeng's verdict was announced: death sentence and lifelong deprivation of political rights. This verdict was within everyone's expectations.

On the day the verdict was delivered, Tao Fu brought her lawyer to meet Tao Jingfeng and transferred all his shares to herself. Then, she arranged for Xi Luo's funeral with her two children and paid their respects before returning to Hong Kong City with them. She did not even wait for Tao Jingfeng to be executed.

And the ripples were only at Xi Yao's request. On the night the two children left, she allowed her to dream and bid farewell to them in her dreams. After that, Xi Yao returned to prison to continue tormenting Tao Jingfeng.

After Tao Jingfeng was executed, Xi Nuo swallowed the other's soul and was then sent into space by Lian Yi to sleep. She didn't forget that there was still a person from the Ghost Control Gate who was eyeing Xi Nuo hungrily.

Liang Yong, who controls the Ghost Gate, had recuperated for a period after being injured by a whirlwind. He reappeared near the villa and began inquiring about the new owner, eventually learning the true story of Xi Nuo's demise.

Liang Yong frowned. He didn't expect anyone to break his master's ghost-rearing formation. This was a formation set up by his master fifteen years ago when he went down the mountain. His master didn't ask about the reasons for these ghosts and spirits' existence; he chose those that could grow into vengeful spirits or powerful resentful souls.

He went down the mountain this time to collect these cultivated ghosts in order to strengthen his own strength. It's a pity that his journey was not successful. He felt that he had encountered a master, so after finding out the situation, he quickly left the villa and prepared to go to the next ghost raising place.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that everything he did was seen by Ripples. Holding the whirlwind, she stood on the top floor of the villa, watching Liang Yong's hurried back as he left, and then said to the whirlwind:

"Wind, have your friends keep an eye on that man. If he does anything out of the ordinary, tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, Master. He's already within my surveillance range."

The whirlwind, pleased with himself, twitched his ears. He had already instructed the nearby tabby cats to spread the word about Liang Yong's whereabouts. As long as the latter moved, he would know.

After Wen Yu Lian moved into Li Ri's small villa, she was indeed busy for a while, always going out early and returning late. No one knew what she was doing, but as a good landlord from Hua Guo, Li Ri wouldn't pry.

Because Mrs. Tao's wages and Wen Yulian's rental income, after paying all expenses and Aunt Qi's salary, Ripples could still have a period of leisure, so she didn't rush to find a job.

However, her days of leisure were short-lived, for Yu Liang came knocking on her door again.

"Captain, what a surprise to see you here. What brings you"

After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Lianyi took the initiative to speak.

"Miss Chou, trouble never comes singly. I indeed have something to ask of you."

Yu Liang gave a light cough and said.

"For anything that I can help with, I will definitely do my best."

Formalities are still necessary.

"Well, I've been looking into a car accident recently, but after a thorough investigation, we found that this isn't just a simple case of a car accident."

At the same time, at the same location, a car accident has occurred for eight consecutive years. However, there is no connection between the drivers involved in the accidents, so the investigation has reached a dead end.

And all of these drivers who were involved in accidents insisted that they saw a bloody man suddenly rush towards them. They instinctively swerved to avoid him, and that's when the accidents happened.

But witnesses said the driver suddenly swerved and deliberately hit the oncoming vehicle, so...

So you suspect this is another paranormal event, and you want me to help you investigate.

Ripples took over Yu Liang's words.

"Yes, please trouble Miss Chou."

Yu Liang had no choice, the case couldn't drag on forever, so he could only come seeking help.

"Well, Captain, can I count this as assisting in the case Is there any reward I have to feed myself, and I need to feed Cyclone too. I can't just sit around and wait."

"Meow!"

Feng at this time just squatted on the sofa, very cooperatively called out a voice, indicating that he also needed appearance fees. to capture wildlife."Miss, someone has set a trap here.""Well, I see."Ripple nodded, peering inside. At the bottom of the pit were spikes that had pierced straight through the wild chicken's belly."B...
