Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Informing
Han Jingchen took the plate from Sister Chen: "Sister Chen, wash some and eat with Brother Chen."
Sister Chen thanked him and turned back to the kitchen.
Han Jingchen watched Gu Wanqing take a bite of a strawberry: "How is it, does it taste good?"
Gu Wanqing’s eyes lit up: "Mmm, it’s delicious, Yanyan is amazing. Next year, let’s plant some in the greenhouse in the backyard too."
Han Jingchen, seeing her enjoying herself, casually said: "Our young lady is indeed impressive. Those professors say she has a good ear for languages and a natural talent, like she has a gift from heaven.
Mr. Du also says our young lady has exceptional talent in medicine. But if you ask me, if our young lady goes to study at an agricultural university, she might work miracles too. Whatever she plants thrives; our daughter is so outstanding, I’m embarrassed to boast about her in front of others."
Gu Wanqing smirked and said: "Come on, you’re probably secretly thrilled beyond words."
Han Jingchen looked proud: "I don’t need to be secretly pleased. I’m just too embarrassed to show it in front of others, or they’d think I’m showing off."
What he didn’t say was that this was secondary; the main concern was that the children from other families might be annoyed.
Gu Wanqing saw his smug face: "Don’t you show off enough already?"
The two bantered for a while before getting down to business.
Han Jingchen thought for a moment; he still needed to tell his wife about what was happening with Xinyan to keep her alert and prevent any mishaps.
Moreover, this involved the Gu Family on her side; it wouldn’t be right to hide it from Wanqing. After going through so much, he should trust her.
Gu Wanqing saw there was something on his mind: "What is it? Is there something you need to say?"
Thinking of something, she continued without waiting for Han Jingchen to speak: "Is it those families making a move?"
Han Jingchen didn’t deny it, and Gu Wanqing got it: "Go on, I was going to find out sooner or later."
Han Jingchen coughed lightly: "You know about the previous issues. The Chu Family couldn’t find mom and dad abroad; they probably guessed that mom and dad have returned to the country through other means.
Besides, the Miao Family and the Li Family probably know about this too. They must have a two-pronged approach, sending people both abroad and domestically to keep searching for mom and dad, while also planning to target you or Yanyan."
As soon as he got to this point, Gu Wanqing asked anxiously: "Did they make a move on Yanyan?"
Han Jingchen nodded slightly: "Yes, some time ago, those families sent someone near the courtyard, intending to take Yanyan."
Gu Wanqing, having been through many ups and downs, saw from Han Jingchen’s expression that they didn’t succeed: "Did they catch those people?"
Thinking of the captured people, Han Jingchen’s face turned serious: "Yes, they were caught. Yanyan described them, and portraits were drawn."
Based on those portraits and the investigation, it turned out that a lot was uncovered. It was unexpected that the people trained by those families were often mid-to-high-level leaders in the units.
Normally well-dressed and respectable, no one would think they had another side or identity, and were so ruthless.
The people exposed this time, even if they don’t critically injure those families, will make them wary and hesitant to act rashly in the near future.
Han Jingchen reached out and held Gu Wanqing’s hand: "Your situation is special now. Originally, Yanyan didn’t want me to tell you about this, fearing it would affect your mood. But I worry that if you’re unaware of these matters, and something else happens, you wouldn’t be able to discern it in time and might get hurt."
Gu Wanqing understood their concerns: "Jingchen, during those years abroad, I also crawled through hardships and didn’t have it easy.
No matter what happens, you must tell me first so I’m aware of the latest developments. Then, if anything sudden happens, I can react promptly."
