Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Jun Family’s Defeat
When Alia came down, Luo Qiao was standing in front of a painting. “Luo Qiao, let me show you around.”
Luo Qiao gave a faint smile. “Sure, your house is really beautiful.”
Alia, holding Luo Qiao’s hand, walked outside. “When you have time, you can often come over to play at my house. The butler makes particularly authentic cream pies, and you can try some when we come back to see if you like them.”
When Luo Qiao arrived, she had brought nothing but a handbag, which was inspected after they had left it behind.
The butler called Duanmu Liangrui. “Sir, everything is normal. There was nothing suspicious in the bag. Ma’am left with her to play in the backyard garden.”
Lu Yichen had put all his listening devices into place, in the garden pavilion, in the trees by the swimming pool, and he had installed two in the living room alone, all in spots that the servants seldom touched.
Initially, he thought the study would be impossible, but then Alia mentioned that there were many books in the study, and she could pick a few to take back to read, which provided convenience to Luo Qiao.
Seeing Luo Qiao dressed in a skirt without any pockets, the house butler stopped paying her any more attention, which allowed Luo Qiao to succeed.
Luo Qiao left after having lunch at Alia’s place, feeling that someone had been following her all along, so she directly returned to the residence she used under this identity.
It wasn’t until dusk, realizing that the person outside had left, she went out to find a place to enter a space to remove her makeup and then returned to her school dormitory.
After receiving a call from Lu Yichen, she knew her mission was accomplished.
At last, she could be at ease.

Following this, the Jun family’s company soon could no longer survive and was on the brink of bankruptcy, which dumbfounded the Jun family members, who all blamed Jun Linghui for his inaction, which caused chaos within the family.
Very soon, Jun Linghui was arrested for investigation because of the evidence Luo Qiao had released.
Officials who had previously had underhanded dealings with the Jun family were also pulled down one after another, which infuriated the families behind these officials, and the Jun family’s company was quickly devoured by various groups, and other branches of the Jun family also became targets of these families’ revenge.
In just three months, the Jun family faced a complete downfall, with Jun Linghui being charged with more than a dozen crimes and received multiple sentences, ultimately being condemned to death by injection.
As the Jun family’s era ended, Duanmu Liangrui also spent his days in constant fear, but he had prepared for the worst by arranging for Alia to leave, giving himself a way out. Unfortunately, dreaming of escaping was easier than doing it.
Six months into her pregnancy, Luo Qiao ran into Alia, who seemed unwell. “Xun Zhen, I might have to leave Boston for a while.”
Luo Qiao felt uneasy but could not do much as her husband was a criminal. She could only say, “Take good care of yourself.”
To ease her own heart, Luo Qiao took a porcelain jar from her bag. “This jar contains a pill that helps with body recovery after childbirth. Keep it safe and eat it postpartum.”
Alia took the porcelain jar and hugged Luo Qiao. “Xun Zhen, my friend, thank you. I’ll keep it safe, and you take care of yourself too.”
Luo Qiao watched as Alia got into her car and drove away before she turned her gaze away, whispering to herself, “I’m sorry, Alia.”

Xiao Jingyu and his team worked swiftly; after more than two months of busyness, the restaurant was almost renovated, with all necessary items ordered, just waiting for the delivery date.
Luo Qiao had specially visited during the renovation to point out a few inadequacies, which after improvement, proved to be more practical than the initial designs.
During this time, Luo Qiao had not been idle. Now that the Jun family was completely ruined, Yanyan and Yueyue no longer needed daily protection, so Wei Jun and He Qing started on new tasks.
Their task was to look around Boston for estates for sale. Since Jinyuan Garden had expanded overseas, Yipin couldn’t lag behind. Earning foreign money and then investing it back in the country was a good plan.
Both displayed remarkable efficiency, and soon they sent back news of an estate for sale not far from Boston in Salem Town. Although the price wasn’t low, it was acceptable. The other locations were either too far or too expensive.
Luo Qiao went to pick up a car first, as traveling without one was inconvenient.
Then she swiftly finalized the estate’s formalities and completed the handover.
