Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Chance Encounter
Lu Yichen was right; these were indeed the items Jun Zhenlin had handed over to his grandson, Jun Linghui, fearing sibling rivalry. If he couldn’t control the overall situation, he wanted him to take these items and leave, knowing they could facilitate a comeback.
But the old man had miscalculated, for if these items fell into the wrong hands, it would spell doom for the entire Jun family.
Lu Yichen put away the incriminating photos and prepared to leave. With these, the Duanmu Family’s downfall was imminent. Next, it all depended on his wife’s progress. However, as his wife said, “Haste does not bring success.” The right moment would solve everything.
Luo Qiao also took some pictures of crime evidence related to the second and fourth branches of the family, planning to have Lu Yichen send them to the police station, to let the Jun family battle it out amongst themselves for a while longer.
After preparing the items, they washed up and decided to catch up on sleep in the space.
Having finished his tasks, Lu Yichen felt good. Seeing the woman, slightly more enticing after her bath, he couldn’t help but feel his mouth go dry.
After hurriedly washing himself and quickly drying off, he returned to see Luo Qiao drying her hair and applying skincare products. He hugged her from behind, “Wife, it’s been three months, can we now?”
Luo Qiao blushed and slapped his wandering hands, “You always think about such crazy stuff.”
Despite her words, she didn’t object. Lu Yichen carried her upstairs to the bedroom, both of them feeling exceptionally excited for their first time exercising in this space.
The excitement was almost overwhelming, and if it weren’t for Luo Qiao’s condition, he might not have held back.
After an exhilarating exercise session, Lu Yichen helped clean up before they finally fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Capital City Ning Family: “Ziping, Ziping, come out quickly.”
Ning Ziping had just lifted his bowl when he heard his mother shouting outside. He put his bowl down and walked out, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
He saw Old Lady Ning rush over, gripping her son’s hands: “Ziping, today on the street, I saw a child who looks a lot like our Ning family members. Remember you once mentioned that the child’s foster family had moved? Could they have moved to the Capital City? The child looks so much like you, even taller than you are now. I’m sure I wasn’t seeing things, the child even smiled at me.
But by the time I realized, he had already left. I chased him for a long time but couldn’t catch up. I’m really useless.”
Hearing this, Ning Ziping stood still, thrilled, “Mom, are you sure? If we calculate the time, that child should be in high school by now.”
Old Lady Ning looked at her son, “I was at the newspaper office today for some work. It’s possible the child’s family lives near there. We could go and ask around, we might get some news.”
Ning Ziping was tempted too, but then he heard Wang Hailan from inside the house, “Mom, how can you be sure he lives around there? That area is massive; we can’t possibly go door to door asking.”
Old Lady Ning responded to her daughter-in-law, “We have to try something. If you could have given birth to a son or a daughter, I wouldn’t have to worry about this.”
Wang Hailan, tired of hearing about her inability to conceive, retorted angrily, “If you want to find a needle in a haystack, go ahead, but I’m out.”
She turned and went back into the house. Ning Ziping knew his wife was upset again and he looked at his mother helplessly, “Mom, why do you always have to bring up having kids? It’s like sticking needles in her heart.”
Old Lady Ning felt disappointed, “Look at you. Can’t you act like a man? It’s so frustrating. Everything I do is for who? Because I’m afraid no one will care for me when I’m old or when I’m dead? So ungrateful.”
Ning Ziping felt that whatever he said would be wrong, so he chose to stay silent. His expression only angered Old Lady Ning further: “Anyway, I’ve told you. It’s up to you now. If you want to search, go search; if not, then forget I ever said anything.”
She left with an angry face, slamming her door so loudly it echoed.
Leaving Ning Ziping standing there, crestfallen, then hearing Wang Hailan’s voice from inside, “She’s gone, what are you still doing standing there?”
