A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Meanwhile, Lin Yinyin is also battling with the delicious food on the table at home.

With braised pork ribs, stuffed tofu, stir-fried eggs with chives, and a large bowl of chicken soup, Lin Yinyin felt incredibly satisfied.

The little one inside seemed especially happy.

She suddenly felt a slight movement in her lower abdomen, like a small fish blowing bubbles, gurgling softly and lively.

Lin Yinyin put down her chopsticks and gently placed her palm on her lower abdomen. "Baby, do you like to eat this too?" she said, picking up a soup spoon and adding another bowl of chicken soup.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she sat down in a chair and began writing the mountain planning document.

The pen scratched across the paper, time slipped away little by little, and Lin Yinyin rubbed her sore wrist.

The amount of financial, material, and human resources required for this land clearing and expansion is considerable.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law gave him 50,000 yuan, which, together with Hao Weiwei's compensation and Hongxiangzhai's dividends, should be enough.

Speaking of which, why haven't my sister and mother-in-law come back yet?

Just as she was thinking about it, the courtyard gate was pushed open.

He Jingxian appeared at the door.

"Yinyin".

"Mom!" Lin Yinyin quickly got up to greet her, her heart tightening as her gaze fell on her mother-in-law's slightly tired face.

"You've been on the phone for so long, is something wrong?"

He Jingxian tried to keep her tone calm: "It's nothing, it's just that Mom might have to go back to Beijing."

"What's wrong?" Lin Yinyin asked.

"Your eldest sister-in-law has to go on a business trip due to an emergency, and your second sister-in-law is staying at the lab recently. It's just your dad, your grandpa, and your eldest brother at home. I need to go back and take care of them."

"Is there anything I can do?" Lin Yinyin asked. "Do I need to go back with you?"

"No need," He Jingxian smiled and patted the back of her hand. "You just need to rest well, eat well, and don't worry about anything. Taking good care of yourself is the greatest comfort to my family."

Okay, Mom, if you need me, although I don't have any special skills, I can still handle arguing with women.

"Hahaha, alright, alright, I'll let you know if I need anything. Oh, and please tell Jinye to rest well. If anything happens between you two, remember to let the family know in time."

"Okay, Mom." Lin Yinyin nodded in agreement.

"Mom, wait a minute,"

Lin Yinyin turned and went back to her room, but actually took out a sealed kimchi jar from her spatial storage and handed it to her mother-in-law.

"Mom, this is some medicinal wine I made. Don't let its plain packaging fool you; it can boost your energy and refresh you, but you can't drink too much. Please tell Dad, my older brother, and Grandpa."

"Okay, I'll take it back." He Jingxian took the jar.

"Mom, remember that Dad and Grandpa only drink a small cup each time, and you can only take a small sip to relieve your fatigue. Please don't overindulge," Lin Yinyin reminded her worriedly.

"Mom knows her limits."

He Jingxian smiled and agreed, then took her hand, her eyes full of reluctance. "Yinyin, once Mom leaves, I won't be able to take care of you anymore. You must remember that no matter what happens, nothing is more important than the baby in your belly. Buy whatever you want to eat; our family has plenty of money."

If Li Jinye makes you angry, beat him up. If he hits you, I'll have your dad hit him! I'll have Grandpa beat him up...

Mentioning Old Master Li, He Jingxian paused for a moment, then immediately changed her words, "Remember, always put yourself first, and don't wrong yourself."

Lin Yinyin felt a warmth in her heart after hearing this. "I understand, Mom. Don't worry."

"Also, your brother just called. He's arrived home safely, and all the paperwork for the hilltop and the house has been completed."

There's a village called Lianxi Village over at Baihua Peak. The village chief knows everything that happens on the mountain; if you need anything, just go directly to the village chief.

"I remember, Mom."

"And one more thing," He Jingxian repeatedly reminded, "No matter what happens, you must tell Mom. If you need help, just ask. Don't try to bear it all by yourself."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry."

He Jingxian wanted to say something more, but then she heard a car horn outside the courtyard.

"The car outside is here, I should go."

Lin Yinyin stepped forward and hugged her mother-in-law.

He Jingxian stiffened, then turned around and hugged her tightly.

Lin Yinyin saw her mother-in-law off to the car, but to her surprise, the driver was Chi Peng, and Jiang Feng was sitting in the passenger seat.

It must be related to Li Jinye; they are all good brothers in Li Jinye's group.

Lin Yinyin didn't think too much about it, smiled and greeted the two of them, watching the car slowly drive away.

In the car, He Jingxian leaned back in her seat, all her previous gentleness gone, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Not long ago, she received a call from Li Zhendong, saying that the car the old man and An Shuqiao were in had been ambushed on the road.

The exploded vehicle has been found, and the driver, Xiao Zhao, has been taken to the hospital, but the old man and An Shuqiao are nowhere to be found.

All that remained at the scene were blood-stained clothes and scattered supplies.

Another car, exactly the same as the old man's, was destroyed in an accident, and the driver and passengers died; not even a complete body could be found.

"If you don't see the body, it doesn't count as death." He Jingxian clenched her hands.

Li Zhendong also said that their manpower is already searching with all their might.

The reason they kept it from Li Jinye and Lin Yinyin was that it was not an accidental traffic accident at all, but a premeditated murder.

Li Jinye's punishment had just come down, and he needed to rest and recuperate. Lin Yinyin was also pregnant, so there was really no need for them to worry about an injured person and a pregnant woman.

Her return to Beijing is to take charge of the overall situation.

She needs to appease her relatives, manage relationships with various parties, and deal with those who use the guise of concern to inquire about information.

More importantly, she needed to find a breakthrough among the women.

The old man's bodyguards were all veterans who had served him for many years; they would never betray him.

Therefore, the person who could have leaked the old man and An Shuqiao's travel schedule must be someone from the family.

As the car sped along, He Jingxian closed her eyes and prayed in her heart: she hoped that the old man and An Shuqiao would be safe and sound.

She also hoped that Lin Yinyin would go to Baihua Peak as soon as possible, where news was scarce and she could live a peaceful and quiet life there.

only……

He Jingxian suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of unease flashing across them.

Li Zhendong said that the place where the old man had the accident seemed to be not far from that small mountain area.

Hopefully, Yinyin and the others don't know about these things.

He Jingxian sighed softly. The air in the carriage was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.

Chi Peng and Jiang Feng exchanged a glance but remained silent.

When they received orders to escort He Jingxian home, they knew something might have happened to the Li family.

Because the word "escort" is often used to imply danger.

Normally, sending a driver would be enough; there's no need for a sharp knife to be deployed as well.

Chi Peng gripped the steering wheel, his sharp eyes scanning the rearview mirror. Jiang Feng also cautiously looked ahead and around.
