Gu Wanqing gazed at her daughter filled with profound worry. Her girl was still so young, but she bore the burden of restoring the Gu Family without reaping any of its benefits: "Yanyan, it’s tough on you, but stay cautious and put yourself first always."

Xinyan smiled and rested against Gu Wanqing’s shoulder: "Mom, even Dad might not beat me in a fight. No need to fret."

As they chatted, Sister Chen arrived with a bowl of chicken soup: "Yanyan, here you go—your mom specially requested Aunt Sun to prepare this for you."

Xinyan jumped up swiftly to accept it: "Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Aunt Chen. It smells so good."

Aunt Chen beamed seeing Xinyan’s delight, then addressed Gu Wanqing: "Wanqing, you need another bowl too. After yesterday’s fright, I fear you might lose your milk supply. Soups like this are perfect right now."

Gu Wanqing appreciated Sister Chen’s good intentions: "Fine, I’ll take a little bowl. Junjun will wake up shortly."

Aunt Chen was delighted that Gu Wanqing agreed: "Great, great, I’ll fetch it at once."

Meanwhile, Han Jingchen, after dealing with those thugs using special tactics, quickly got full confessions from them.

His icy stare fixed on the ringleader writhing on the floor: "Instead of staying honorable, you became their dog. Don’t you care about facing your family or betraying the nation?"

Next, he ordered He Jinxuan at his side: "Call the cops. These guys deserve no mercy."

These attackers were ex-soldiers, unaware of their true boss—they simply obeyed commands.

Suddenly, one lifted his head: "We only followed orders; please consider our past as soldiers and give us a shot."

Han Jingchen didn’t glance back: "Chances aren’t endless. Mess up, and pay the price."

Spotting Han Jingchen’s return, Gu Wanqing said: "Wash up, eat, then rest a bit."

Xinyan had already detailed yesterday’s chaos to Gu Wanqing, revealing it wasn’t merely the Chu, Li, and Miao families coveting the Gu Family’s wealth.

Memories of her late eldest brother and vanished second brother surged in Gu Wanqing’s mind, fueling her utmost rage. Without her husband and kids, she’d handle them personally.

Their selfish schemes had wrecked the Gu Family terribly.

Fearing Gu Wanqing’s distress might affect her milk, Xinyan urged: "Mom, let Dad and me handle it. Focus on caring for my little brother.

Rest easy; it’ll all work out. Those three families and their backers won’t escape this time."

She rose to pour Gu Wanqing some warm water, slipping in Space Stream Water secretly to soothe her nerves.

After washing up, Han Jingchen emerged and noticed the fury in his wife’s eyes, knowing she’d learned of yesterday. He sat close, comforting her softly: "Mom and Dad will soon return to the Capital, and every implicated family will meet a grim fate."

In those turbulent years, the Gu Family wasn’t alone in suffering—her allies were strong too, and all had contributed heavily now.

The family ate quietly, then Han Jingchen and Xinyan retreated to their rooms for some sleep.

Mid-afternoon brought He Jinxuan knocking at Xinyan’s door.

Xinyan, eyes heavy with sleep, mumbled: "Who’s there?"

From outside, He Jinxuan replied: "Yanyan, update on that situation you wanted me watching."

Instantly alert, Xinyan leaped from bed, dashed to open the door, yanked him inside after a quick peek out: "Hurry, spill it—what happened?"

All Xue Family members had gone back to their ancestral home. Details remained unclear, but it signaled the Xue Family’s desperation and impending action.

Xinyan nodded thoughtfully: "Seems they’re gearing up to flee."

She moved fast, shoving He Jinxuan out: "Give me a sec to change; I’ll head there myself."

He Jinxuan tried to note: Watchers were already posted there.

Yet Xinyan shut the door before he could speak. She needed to witness it personally. The Gu Family’s pain demanded equal torment for them.

Should the Gu Family’s woes trace to the Xue Family, no peace awaited them. Han Xinyan would ensure that.

Soon Xinyan stepped out: "Keep this from my parents for now."

He Jinxuan recognized Xinyan’s resolve was unbreakable: "I’m coming along."

Xinyan nearly objected, but his firm look showed his limit, so she agreed: "Alright, let’s move."

She scribbled a note on the living room table, then departed with He Jinxuan.
