Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Someone Leaked the Secret Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Someone Leaked the Secret Luo Qiao went to work, and Yanyan and Yueyue resumed attending kindergarten. However, after alerting the kindergarten, only the parents were permitted to pick them up. They didn’t dare let Elder Rong and Rong Daniang fetch the kids anymore. If anything happened, the two elderly wouldn’t be able to handle it.
As days passed, nothing else occurred. In this time, Lu Yichen was busy with those who had been caught. After failing to extract any useful information from them, he sent them straight to jail, following the normal judicial process.
Later on, no further suspicious individuals were discovered, so the matter was temporarily put on hold. Nevertheless, Luo Qiao had Lu Yichen continue to gather information about the Jun family. Initially, she did not want to delve into the past feud.
Yet if others do not offend me, I won’t offend them; when they came provoking, she couldn’t just stand by. It was time to give the Jun family a substantial “gift.”
It seemed they had underestimated the vindictiveness of the Jun family, to say nothing of Jun Linghui’s cousins using his grandfather Jun Zhenlin’s affairs to cause trouble, claiming if they could not avenge their grandfather, they would surrender the position of family head.
This forced Jun Linghui to once again send people against Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao.
Not much later, news came from above: it was someone from Chongqing who had leaked Lu Yichen’s information for the Jun family to find out that the Jade Pendant really existed and had been opened by Huang Xiurong’s descendants at the treasure site.
The informant was sentenced to a heavy punishment, all their illicit gains confiscated, affecting even their family members.
The object the Jun family had longed for turned out to be an illusion, dragging their old patriarch into the mess as well. How could the Jun family not be enraged? So, without Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao knowing, someone was plotting to avenge Jun Zhenlin.
Since it was difficult to make a move in the heavily guarded Capital City, they thought of other means.
Soon after, Luo Qiao was assigned a task to join several professors from Capital City on a trip. A strange illness had broken out in a location in the Southwest Region, and the situation was urgent. Given Luo Qiao’s expertise in both Chinese and Western medicine, she was chosen as well, and everyone was given half a day to prepare for the eight o’clock evening departure.
Luo Qiao hurriedly packed her luggage, fetched the kids from kindergarten, and had dinner with them. She reminded Lu Yichen to have the guards stay close to the children at all times, providing 24-hour protection.
She genuinely feared the Jun family would target the children.
Lu Yichen held Luo Qiao, comforting her, “Don’t worry. People have been secretly assigned to protect the two kids, not just our treasures but including everyone from the Lian Family and Yiting’s families as well.”
Reassured by this, Luo Qiao felt at ease.
After saying goodbye to the kids, she arrived on time at the designated location at eight o’clock, checked in, and got straight onto the vehicle. They were to take a military aircraft directly.
Luo Qiao brought along a large tote bag and a backpack on purpose, in case of emergency she’d have an excuse to cheat and take something from her storage space.
Once everyone was aboard the plane, the team leader briefly explained the situation there to prepare them mentally. After discussing the details, he said, “Now, please use the flight time to rest well. As soon as we land tomorrow, we’ll dive into work. Thank you all for your efforts.”
At the same time as Luo Qiao’s plane landed, Lu Yichen received information from other sources that the Jun family had sent more people. The exact actions were still unclear, but the intruders had already entered the country.
