Not to mention that Lucy came with her mother to inherit the estate.

But what's the result?

Lucy gave birth at home.

Lu Ke had investigated and found that Ha Dong-jung owned a top-tier private hospital in Seoul, which was considered one of the best in the country.

If it were just for the sake of confidentiality, Lucy could have easily stayed at this hospital to give birth.

The fact that these products were produced at home speaks volumes.

For example, his mother-in-law's inheritance process did not seem to go smoothly.

In fact, the results of the investigation were exactly as Luke had guessed.

His mother-in-law's father had four children in total.

My mother-in-law, Zheng Xiuhui, is the youngest.

But before his father died, he handed over the largest and most core of the family business, Zheng's Enterprise, to his mother-in-law.

In South Korea, a typical patriarchal society, this would be quite a shocking event.

This means that his mother-in-law became the next clan leader of the Zheng clan of Hedong, and the first female clan leader at that.

How could this possibly satisfy my mother-in-law's three brothers?

According to the intelligence Debbie gathered, his mother-in-law was embroiled in a power struggle almost immediately after returning to Seoul.

Of course.

How his mother-in-law's family fights is none of Lu Ke's business.

He came here for only one purpose.

They found Lucy and her daughter.

As for the others, they were not within Lu Ke's scope of concern.

Lu Ke also looked down on the power struggles in this tiny place. It was fine as long as they didn't offend him, but if they did, or if his mother-in-law spoke up, he wouldn't mind lending a hand to support her.

after all……

Lucy is an only child. If her mother-in-law successfully inherits the throne, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Zheng family of Hedong will belong to Lucy in the future, and naturally, to his and Lucy's daughter.

That is, assuming Lucy is still alive.

Lu Ke's eyes were deep.

at this time.

William Stryker, sitting opposite Luke, got up from his seat and woke him up.

"Let's go, let's go out."

"……it is good."

Luke snapped out of his daze, nodded, stood up, took the jacket handed to him by a female soldier, put it on, and followed William Stryker out of the cabin while buttoning it up.

The moment Lu Ke, dressed in a suit and with sharp eyebrows, appeared at the cabin door, he was immediately met with several pairs of eyes.

Jack, ever loyal, immediately shouted "Boss!" and ran over.

Old Chen behind him breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Ke's figure appear.

Standing to the side, Zheng Xiuhui, the mother-in-law who had just been indifferent to the driving away of her people, looked at Lu Ke and couldn't help but say to Old Chen beside her, "This guy seems even more handsome than in the photos our daughter showed us."

Old Chen chuckled and said, "Doesn't this just prove that our daughter has good taste?"

While talking.

Old Chen thought of his daughter, who was still missing, and his granddaughter again, and the smile on his face vanished once more.

but……

Thankfully, Luke has arrived.

Old Chen thought to himself.

“Boss.” Jack jogged up to Luke and introduced Jason, who was standing next to him: “This is Jason. He’s been keeping me company these past two days.”

Luke and Jason shook hands.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It should."

Jason smiled, then saluted William Stryker beside him and said, "Colonel Stryker, the Commander is already waiting for you at the base."

William looked at Luke and extended an invitation.

"Together?"

Do you think I'm in the mood right now?

"Right."

William nodded: "I'll help you explain to the commander that I've been at the base these past few days. If anything happens, contact me and I'll make the arrangements."

Luke hummed in agreement and didn't stand on ceremony with William.

Given his relationship with William, being too polite would be too formal.

Luke then led Jack to Old Chen and Zheng Xiuhui.

"Old Chen."

“Lu Ke”.

Old Chen, like a middle-aged man from the East who had seen a savior, grabbed Luke's right hand and, with a trembling voice, once again instructed, "You must find Lucy and Mengmeng."

Lu Ke nodded again, giving Old Chen his assurance, and then turned his gaze to Zheng Xiuhui, who was standing to the side with no expression on her face, and greeted him.

"mother in law."

"..."

Zheng Xiuhui's brow twitched slightly. She took a deep breath and looked intently at Lu Ke: "It's not too late to call me after you find my daughter."

Luke smiled and nodded: "I will."

He didn't have much of a psychological burden.

If something like this had happened before this year, he might have actually been controlled by the mastermind behind it all.

After all, he also had to consider the chances of Lucy and his daughter surviving.

But right now?

Go ahead and kill me if you dare.

He's going to confront hell head-on in a while anyway.

Again.

A sheep is driven, and a group of sheep is also driven.

Asking Hell for Lucy's and his daughter's souls again is just a matter of numbers for Luke.

As for how to resurrect after obtaining the soul.

That depends on how far Dr. Zola's 'cloning project' has progressed.

Considering that Cipher is still unreachable, Luke figured that Dr. Zola's cloning project must have made a qualitative leap.

and so……

After making his promise to his mother-in-law, Luke said again with a serious expression, "I will definitely bring Lucy back, don't worry."

Seeing this, Jack promptly reported to Luke, "The forensic doctor and detectives who came yesterday are all at 'Frontier Life' Hospital."

Lu Ke hummed in agreement and looked at Old Chen: "Old Chen, get some rest. I'm here. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."

Done.

Luke didn't waste any more time on small talk. After glancing at Jack, he followed Jack and walked towards a brand-new Audi A8 not far away.

boarding.

Jack immediately started the car, and with Luke in tow, they left the airport first.

William Stryker, still at the airport, watched Luke's car disappear into the distance, shook his head, looked away, and said to Jason and the others, "Alright, let's go too."

While talking.

William Stryker, led by Jason and other soldiers, also got into the car that no one dared to question even if someone killed someone in Seoul.

soon.

The hangar suddenly felt deserted.

Old Chen breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said to his wife, "I'm relieved that Lu Ke is here. Don't worry about him anymore. Judging from the situation today, Lu Ke could turn Seoul upside down. Let's go home."

Chen Xiuhui rolled her eyes at Old Chen.

"Fool."

"..."

Old Chen was slightly taken aback and looked at Xiu Hui.

"what?"

"Tell me, besides seeing Luke bring in military personnel this time, what else did you see?"

"This……"

Old Chen frowned and looked at his wife: "What else?"

Xiuhui closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "The people who kidnapped our daughter and Mengmeng this time are obviously after Lu Ke."

Old Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Didn't we know from the beginning that this guy has made quite a few enemies in the past two years? Otherwise, how could he have been promoted so quickly, like a rocket, to become the chief of Los Santos?"

Xiuhui looked at Old Chen, who seemed genuinely foolish or pretending, opened her mouth, and finally shook her head speechlessly.

Before she met Lu Ke, she always thought that the organization that had kidnapped her daughter and Mengmeng was an ordinary organization.

But just now, after seeing the local federal military personnel who were also there to pick her up, and then seeing the federal colonel who disembarked with Luke, she realized what was happening.
