Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1215 - 726

"Cough! Cough! Cough!..."

Wen Su’s face was flushed from coughing, while Lu Qingqing patted his back and scolded, "Being an adult, how can you choke so badly while drinking water? What’s the rush? My brother and I aren’t taking it from you."

She continued, speaking without thinking, while Lu Dongdong glared at his sister with displeasure, "What are you talking about?" He turned his gaze to Wen Su, "You wouldn’t happen to know the Governor of Ludong Province, would you?"

Having known Wen Su for so many years, Lu Dongdong understood Wen Su’s personality well enough to know that something his sister said had clearly affected him, prompting such a coughing fit. Considering Wen Su’s family background, this was his guess.

Wen Su glanced at Lu Dongdong, taken aback, "Old Lu, I realize your mind isn’t just ordinarily sharp. Keeping you cooped up in a lab all day is truly a waste of talent."

"After knowing each other for so many years, not being able to figure out even such a simple thing would be quite a failure..." Lu Dongdong quickly changed the subject, "My dad’s car accident has a lot of suspicious points, plus..."

Lu Qingqing, eyes brimming with tears, desperately shook her brother, "Brother, what happened to dad? Hurry and tell us!"

"Dad..., Dad..." Lu Dongdong clutched his head and crouched down, sobbing.

"Brother..."

Wen Su grabbed Lu Qingqing, who was about to press for answers, "Let him vent a bit. Ever since he got the news, he’s been holding it in."

Lu Qingqing sobbed as she lay on Wen Su’s shoulder, "I really hope this is just a dream, that when I wake up, dad would be standing by my side, patting my head and saying, ’Silly girl, I haven’t seen you get married yet, how could I bear to leave?

He promised me he would wait until I got married, then help me take care of Big Dabao. Wait for Dabao to get married, and then the little baby, only then he could leave in peace. How can he break his promise?"

Wen Su gently stroked Lu Qingqing’s back, letting her lean on his shoulder and reminisce and complain...

After a while, Lu Dongdong lifted his head, his eyes filled with pain, "Dad... Dad might have been burned beyond recognition, can’t see anything..."

"Brother... you... you need to say it again..." Lu Qingqing stared at Lu Dongdong in disbelief, trembling like a leaf.

"Qingqing..." Lu Dongdong choked, unable to continue.

"This matter must be investigated." Wen Su furrowed his brow, "There’s something I need to tell you both, the Governor of Ludong Province is actually my maternal uncle."

"Your maternal uncle?" Lu Qingqing, still grieving, couldn’t process it, and stared at Wen Su blankly.

"It’s Ye’er’s dad." Wen Su explained.

Lu Qingqing slapped her forehead, "Now I remember, Ye’er mentioned her hometown is Midong, we changed subjects last time, didn’t follow up. So, Ye’er’s dad is the Governor of Ludong Province..." She paused abruptly.

Wen Su saw her expression and knew she remembered her previous disparaging remarks about the Governor, so he gently patted her and reassured, "It’s okay, I won’t tell my maternal uncle."

"I..." Lu Qingqing looked awkwardly and didn’t know what to say.

Lu Dongdong stepped forward, seriously looking at Wen Su, "Old Wen, I’m counting on you for this matter. Between us, there’s no need to be overly polite. For my dad’s matter, no matter the cost, I have to investigate. I would even sell myself to your family in this lifetime."

"Alright then, saying such things to me makes us strangers." Wen Su thought for a moment, "Old Lu, Qingqing, there’s no need for me to even say it, my maternal uncle will investigate this matter.

There are some things I can’t reveal to you right now, I hope you understand. As for why I can’t disclose these things, you’ll understand in time.

You two should stay with aunt when she wakes up, have a meal with her, and take good care of her. Meanwhile, I’ll take this opportunity to visit my maternal uncle, and I’ll inform you immediately if I get any news."

Lu Dongdong embraced Wen Su strongly, "Thank you!"

"Keep being polite, and I won’t recognize you as my brother anymore." Wen Su said as he quickly headed towards the door, "Wait." Lu Qingqing hurriedly packed some fried lotus root into a bag for him, "Eat this on the way."

"Okay, don’t cry anymore. At this time, you two siblings need to be strong, so your mom can be stronger." Wen Su said, heading out without looking back.

Once the door closed behind him, he exhaled heavily and dialed Luo Ye’s number, "Where are you?"

"Dormitory, what about you?" Luo Ye’s response was very brief.

"I’m in Yuanzhou, want to meet you."

"Can’t today, I have things to do." Luo Ye straightforwardly refused.

"You jerk, didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on the Lu family situation for me? Why didn’t you inform me?" Wen Su said angrily.

"We’ll talk about that later, brother, do console sister Qingqing, make sure she’s not too sad." Luo Ye’s reply was extremely formal.

Wen Su was left speechless and couldn’t say a word for a long time.

"If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"Wait!" Wen Su hurriedly called out, "Ye’er, while on a mission you don’t have to sound so official, do you? I’m reaching out to figure out Qingqing’s father’s situation, does that violate any regulations?"

"Yes, during missions, we have to pretend not to know each other."

"Got it." Wen Su hung up the phone in a huff.

"Brother, I’m sorry." Luo Ye closed her phone, shrugged to Zhao Qianqian, "My second brother’s really angry now."

"Anyone would be angry in his shoes, you don’t know how stiff your tone was just now." Zhao Qianqian said gleefully, "I wonder, when the truth comes out, how they’ll deal with you."

"I’ll just say it was all your idea, let them take it out on you." Luo Ye checked her equipment, exhaled, "Let’s go."

Zhao Qianqian shook her head and followed.

Luo Ye sighed imperceptibly, this matter can only be like this for now. Later, when her second brother blames her and punishes her, she’ll accept it. At this moment, she doesn’t want to recklessly disrupt the entire plan.

The two sprinted forward, reaching an old villa outside the mine. They quickly moved around the villa, threw up the Flying Claw, and swiftly climbed to the second floor.

"Luo Ye, they have an ambush. You and Zhao Qianqian should leave immediately."

Through the earpiece, Yuanzhou team leader Guan Hongjun’s voice suddenly came through.

"Should we go?" Zhao Qianqian and Luo Ye exchanged glances, "At this point, go?"

Luo Ye hesitated a bit and whispered into the earpiece, "Guan, you can’t stall them?"

"It’s not safe, if you two are exposed, it might affect the whole mission. Luo Ye, you’ve done your best, leave Jing Aixiang’s situation to us, whether it’s successful or not, it’s his fate! Joining our team, he was already prepared for anything."
