After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 837 The Que Family Launches an Investigation, Sudden Trial by Three Courts

Que Bingchen pushed open the door and came in from outside. He saw his wife pick up the phone that was on the coffee table in front of her, glance at it, and then put it down.

Her face perfectly mimics the expression of the old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"Hasn't that kid Shu Heng replied yet?"

"No. They sent a message last night saying they had come out of the mountains and were heading towards Cuiping, but we haven't heard back since."

"You don't need to worry too much. I bet they're still fast asleep right now. After making such a commotion in the mountains and trekking so far in and out, they're probably exhausted and can't get out of bed once they're in bed."

"That's possible."

Zhu Heng nodded, then couldn't help but slap the coffee table, startling Que Bingchen, who was about to sit down, into a sudden pause.

"Those two brats are too ambitious. They dared to barge into that place without a word, taking Hanying and Shuangshuang with them, and causing such a commotion. If I wasn't worried about affecting Mingxin's work, I would have really gone to complain about them!"

Que Bingchen nodded hurriedly and whispered in agreement, "Yes, it was outrageous. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and the person was rescued smoothly."

Zhu Heng's expression softened upon hearing this. "Which branch of the family sent to investigate this time?"

If it were just a matter of sneaking in and rescuing people, that would be one thing. But who knows what those kids did on someone else's turf? They even alerted the leyline monitoring device, which was quite a distance away, triggering a level three alarm that hadn't been seen in years. As the guardians of the mountain, the Que family certainly couldn't stand idly by and ignore such a major incident. It was necessary to launch an investigation.

Hopefully, those children didn't leave any obvious clues.

After all, the Que family is not yet in charge. They can find a way to erase small traces, but if the traces are too obvious, they will not be able to show favoritism.

“The family takes this unusual situation very seriously, after all, it’s a level three alert, even the patriarch has been alerted. The third branch of the family was sent out, but I also sent Zhishan and Zhichuan along, so that the two brothers can adapt to the situation.”

"We still need to be careful; that place is too eerie!"

"Yes, yes, I already said that."

"When they get here, I'm going to make them tell me exactly what they were doing there!"

Jiang Hanying was awakened by a series of buzzing vibrations.

She pulled the covers down, opened her eyes to find the room bright, and quickly pulled them back up. Only her voice came through the covers, "What time is it?"

While typing a reply, Li Chengxiao glanced at the time: "11:30."

"It's already past eleven!" Jiang Hanying no longer cared about the bright light in the room. She jumped up, grabbed the blanket, and exclaimed, "No wonder my stomach was growling!"

She slept so much that she missed breakfast, how could she not be hungry?

"Then I'll order some food and bring it over to tide me over. I'm going out to see Aunt Heng and Uncle Que later."

"Mmm." Jiang Hanying threw back the covers, got out of bed, and shuffled to the bathroom next door in her slippers. "I'm going to wash up!"

After replying to the message, Li Chengxiao ordered some delicious food, got out of bed, and went over.

Just as the two finished getting ready, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Jiang Hanying quickly walked a few steps and opened the door, where she saw Lin Shuangshuang standing at the door holding clothes in a dust bag.

"I've washed and brought back your clothes," Lin Shuangshuang said, handing them out. "Change into them and come out for something to eat."

Jiang Hanying hugged the clothes and smiled back, "Thank you, Sister Shuangshuang."

After closing the door and changing out of her bathrobe, she came out of the bedroom and saw that Li Jingmo and Lin Yuanyin were already sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the TV in the living room was on.

Lin Yuanyin, who had been watching the TV intently, turned her head when she heard the noise, nodded in acknowledgment, and then focused her attention back on the TV screen.

Li Jingmo pointed to the rather large amount of brunch snacks on the dining table behind the sofa and looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law, "Did you two order some food too? One serving was delivered, and now another one is delivered."

Li Chengxiao nodded, "It's for before washing up."

"Go eat quickly. By the way, did Aunt Heng call or text you?"

Li Chengxiao was pulled by Jiang Hanying towards the dining table, and he replied to his brother, "I called but missed, and then I sent a message. I only saw it after I woke up. My phone was off because I forgot to charge it. I've already replied. I'll get up, tidy up, and head over." Li Jingmo wiped his face, "Aunt Heng should understand."

They arrived in Cuiping close to midnight last night.

Back at the hotel, we returned the car and upgraded the small suite with only two bedrooms to a presidential suite with three bedrooms. After checking in, we had a late-night snack. By the time we finished washing up and were finally able to lie down and rest, it was already past 2 a.m.

I slept straight through until 10 or 11 o'clock, which is actually only eight hours of sleep.

"Then you guys go and eat quickly, and we'll set off after you've finished eating."

"Ah."

Although she ordered an extra dish, Jiang Hanying was determined not to waste it.

In just about half an hour, she and her cheap owner had stuffed all the food on the table into their stomachs.

"I am full?"

"Actually, we could eat some more."

"Let's eat something later when we get there."

Li Jingmo heard their conversation and silently turned around to look.

Their operation this time has brought down a mountain in one fell swoop. I wonder how the Que family will react and how they will handle it. I hope I can have another good meal with Aunt Heng.
While it may not be as grand as the Feast at Hongmen, it should be close enough.

Li Chengxiao met his brother's gaze and said, "If Aunt Heng and Uncle Que ask, I'll just tell them."

Li Jingmo reached out and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

It's up to you now, my dear brother!

After checking out, the group took a car straight to the hotel where Aunt Heng and Uncle Que were staying.

Que Bingchen was sent down by his wife to pick someone up. As he came down from the elevator, he ran into Li Xingchuan, who had once again shamelessly gone to Changhe Village to see his wife with large bags and small packages, only to be chased back.

The two originally met because of their respective wives, but they have become familiar with each other over time and naturally greet each other when they meet.

"came back."

"Are you going out? Why are you alone?"

"Come down and pick up a few people." Que Bingchen paused when he saw Li Xingchuan nod without noticing. "You know them too."

Li Xingchuan had one foot about to step into the elevator when he asked, "I know him too?"

"Your son and daughter-in-law, and your eldest nephew and your future nephew's wife."

"Shu Heng and Han Ying are here in Cuiping too? Why didn't they tell me they were coming? Wait, what did you just say, my future niece-in-law? What future niece-in-law did I get?"

"You do not know?"

"I do not know."

The two stared at each other silently for two seconds.

Li Xingchuan completely withdrew his foot, which was about to get on the elevator.

"Come on, I'll wait for them with you."

He also wondered why these children hadn't informed him, their biological father and uncle, before coming to Cuiping and instead visiting Zhu Heng first.

And then there's Jingmo, that kid. Even Lao Que and Lao Zhu know he's dating, but his own uncle doesn't know anything about it. He's really keeping it a secret!
So when Jiang Hanying and the others stepped into the hotel lobby, they saw, besides Uncle Que who came down to pick them up, there was a familiar face next to them, who was looking at them with a blank expression and squinting.

Li Jingmo, who is under close scrutiny: My scalp is starting to tingle!

The scenario that follows, in which only the younger brother needs to handle it, is unlikely to be fulfilled.
