Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1079: Taking the Initiative

Indeed, the culprits behind today's chaos are precisely those who normally appear completely harmless. In a bid to protect their family's reputation and their lavish fortunes, they've finally made their move.

With the situation settled, Xinyan approached He Jinxuan: "Why did you come back?"

He Jinxuan gazed down at her: "You sensed trouble brewing, so how could I leave with a calm heart? If not for handling the outsiders first, I'd have rushed in much sooner."

When she learned of the measures taken outside, Xinyan's expression grew icy: "These people have no shame when it comes to greed; they even target mothers and children. They can't hold it against me for being ruthless."

He Jinxuan grasped her hand gently: "I'm with you, always."

Xinyan whispered softly: "Why are they going so berserk? What do you reckon they're plotting?"

He Jinxuan drew her into his arms: "The truth will emerge soon; it won't be long now."

Truly, with matters boiling over like this, the real prize they seek from the Gu Family won't stay hidden much longer.

After the shocking events of the night before, Gu Wanqing insisted on not remaining in the hospital.

Come early morning, Shen Guqing heard the news, rushed over to see her, and felt relieved knowing Xinyan was there. She gathered the IV drip and medicines to give at home.

As a result, the discharge paperwork was finalized that very morning.

Plenty of folks who learned of it and planned visits found themselves disappointed.

Han Jingchen needed to head back to his unit to handle oversight, so he stationed personnel at the suburban villa to guarantee Gu Wanqing's peaceful rest for the moment.

Gu Wanqing, seasoned by countless hardships, wasn't shaken by last night's ordeal. Her milk production remained plentiful, and the baby showed no impact whatsoever.

Having administered today's IV to Gu Wanqing, Xinyan withdrew the needle and said to her: "Mom, the infusion is done for today. I'm stepping out."

Gu Wanqing asked anxiously: "Yanyan, after last night's scare, you're still going outside?"

Xinyan hugged Gu Wanqing tightly: "Mom, hiding away doesn't banish the danger. Taking action head-on is how I do things. Don't fret, we'll finish them off for good this time.

Letting the tiger loose in the mountains means eternal unrest.

They're the ones forever scheming to grab and plunder; it's not like we're suing for peace, as if that would settle anything."

Right then, Han Jingchen came back after setting things up: "Yanyan's spot on, Wanqing. This time, we dive in fully."

Gu Wanqing grasped these truths perfectly, but her concern was her daughter's safety: "Okay then, just promise to stay safe."

Xinyan switched into fresh clothes and stepped out, spotting He Jinxuan in the living room: "Jinxuan, let's go—drive me to the shop. I've got arrangements to make today."

He Jinxuan gave a nod to Han Jingchen as he appeared, then went after Xinyan through the door.

Han Jingchen observed He Jinxuan trailing his daughter, thought of the quiet deeds he'd performed lately, and gave him his full approval.

A fellow like him outshines all the empty talkers. He utters few words but invests deeply in anything touching his daughter, treats them well—leaving her in his care brings real comfort.

He Jinxuan could roughly read Xinyan's intentions: "Whatever happens, your safety comes first, alright?"

Xinyan recognized his worry and chose not to bicker. When the car pulled up, she leaned across to embrace him: "Got it, my watchful guardian. After we wrap this up, I'll be waiting for you to ask Dad for my hand."

She then swung open the door, jumped out lightly, and waved: "Now go finish your missions."

Sure enough, Han Jingchen had given him assignments for the day; he realized it was the future father-in-law's strategy to bait the enemies before wiping them out completely.

After seeing Xinyan safely into the shop, He Jinxuan drove off, his face hardening into a steely glare.

As Xinyan reached the courtyard, Ling Tianze and the rest were already there waiting. Upon her arrival, they all rose: "Young Master, Happy New Year."

Xinyan passed around the red envelopes she'd prepared: "Happy New Year to you all—this marks our first workday of the new year, so let's start with good fortune. Come on, everyone grab yours."
