Chapter 176: Tortured All Night, Unable to Sleep

sitating whether to call Su Manxue.Well, how about we tell Deputy Minister Sun to give us a different case!No, no!She had only just proven her abilities to Deputy Minister Sun, and now she's withdrawi..."I have the same face as you Hmph! Su Manxue, who is so shameless" Tong Yimo heard Su Manxue's words and felt both angry and amused.

As his fiancée, Su Manxue didn't even know about Leng Yechen's cold and aloof nature

"Tong Yimo, you vile woman! I love Ye Chen, and I won't allow you to steal him away from me! I warn you, if you dare to seduce my Ye Chen again. I will ruin your face!" Su Manxue gritted her teeth, pointing at Tong Yimo's nose and cursing.

Tong Yimo suddenly discovered that Su Manxue had changed, becoming more and more unlike the Su Manxue she used to know.

This woman is really scary, isn't she

Even though she had plastic surgery to look like her, the other woman accused her of staring at her face.

"You're really a crazy woman!" Tong Yimo glared at Su Manxue, not wanting to pay her any more attention. She walked straight back to her room, with a loud slam, shut the door and locked it.

Su Manxue was so angry that she kicked the door to Tong Yimo's room hard, but she still couldn't vent her anger. She stamped her feet in exasperation and shouted before rushing downstairs. She bumped into Liu Shu and inexplicably berated her as well.

Liu's aunt was left speechless after being scolded by Su Manxue.

Su Manxue glared at Auntie Liu, refusing to argue. Knowing she was boring, she angrily yelled at Auntie Liu, "Get out! Get lost right now!"

Liu Shn glared at Su Manxue, inwardly scolding her as a " lunatic," then went to her own room.

On the asphalt road outside the private house, Lian Hua gasped for breath as he pleaded with Leng Ye in a desperate voice: "A-Chen, just let me go!"

Cold night sank sword eyebrows slightly: "Hmm"

"A-Chen... I can't do it! I can't anymore! I can't run! Just let me go!" Lian Huasheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped for breath.

In the cold night, Chen Que stood beside Lian Hua Sheng, jogging lightly and saying nonchalantly, “You've eaten so many supplements. If you don't exercise, what if I fatten you up Then you won't be able to find a wife!”

What's "big tonic" Is it referring to the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by Tong Yi Mo

Li Hua suddenly realized.

He's making this a pretense of exercise, isn't he "Public service" is just a cover for personal vendettas!

For the sake of eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he made Tong Yimo toss and turn all night without getting a good sleep, so he punished him by having him run a marathon with him in the cold night!

Lianhua Sheng couldn't help but complain, "Achen, I think you have a soft spot for your brother-in-law."

"Ajing asked me to take care of Yimo. If Ajing knew you had Yimo make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for you in the middle of the night, he would probably draw his sword and kill you. Compared to me dragging you to run with me, Ajing would probably kill you." Leng Ye said nonchalantly.

Lien Hua's face instantly turned terrifying as she stared at Leng Ye Chen, and retorted, "Is your brother this scary"

"Who knows" Leng Yechen smiled meaningfully, then ran forward.

Lian Huasheng's face changed, and he hurriedly chased after him, running beside Leng Yeshen.

"Look, I cured Ji Yuheng's illness!"

"Really How much did he give you to agree to let him treat your illness" Leng Yechen smiled knowingly.

Lienhua Sheng immediately extended five fingers to Leng Yeshen.

"Fifty thousand" Leng Ye said calmly.

Lien Hua shook his head.

"Five million" Leng Ye remained calm.

Lianhua Sheng smiled proudly, winked at Leng Yeshen, and grinned wickedly, "How's that Pretty impressive, huh!"

"Once he's cured, who knows how many more girls he'll harm." Leng Ye said with a nonchalant sigh.

Lianhua Sheng let out a “poof” and chuckled. Then, she raised her hand and patted Leng Yechen’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry! He won’t cause any more trouble!”

"What You, who's a doctor, have become a living bodhisattva now You can even reform that playboy and set him on the right path" Leng Yechen was genuinely curious.

Lienhua smiled slyly and replied, “The day before, when Ji Yunteng's sister's classmate introduced me to Ji Yunteng, I told him, 'You’re going to have a lot of trouble having children in the future!'"

"Then what" Leng Yechen continued.

Lienhua, smugly enjoying himself, played coy: "You guess what happened next"

"Too lazy to guess, just say it straight." Leng Yechen replied.

Lienghua Sheng chuckled, "That boy went 'thud' and knelt on the ground, begging me to heal him. So I told him, 'I can heal you, but from now on, no more premarital sex.' And after marriage, for your whole life, you can only be with your own wife. If you sleep with other women, well... you know what might happen!"

"Does he actually believe that" Leng Ye sank his face in suspicion, staring at Lian Huasheng.

Lienhua Sheng said, "Of course he didn't believe me! When I cured him, I left a little trick up my sleeve! After he went back, he probably found some women and before long came back to me again. This time, he completely believed my words. He even promised me that he would never cause trouble again!"

"So, you took the opportunity to raise the price, increasing the treatment fee from 500,000 to 5 million" Leng Yechen looked at Lian Huasheng with understanding.

Lianhua Sheng snapped his fingers and nodded.

Cold Night stopped in his tracks and patted Lian Huasheng's shoulder, teasingly saying: "From now on, you can choose men like this to target. Who knows, you might be richer than me within a year!"

"That's a good idea, but if you do this too often, you'll be struck by 'heaven's retribution'! I'm a doctor after all!" Lian Huasheng suddenly became serious.

Cold night, he only smiled without speaking.

Lian Huasheng suddenly remembered something and instantly said with a serious expression, “Ah Chen, do you still remember what my father said back then When he was performing an autopsy on your father, he found a kind of unknown small worm in your father’s blood”

"Well" Leng Ye's face changed, his sword eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Lian Huasheng and asked back.

"Later, Lianhua continued: "In Tong Yimo's grandmother's medical journal, I found a case. The symptoms of the patient treated by Tong Yimo's grandmother are exactly the same as your father's back then. To put it simply, he was poisoned."

"What did you say" Leng Ye's pupils contracted, staring in shock at Lian Huasheng's eyes.

Lien Hua Sheng took a deep breath and stated his conclusion: “I suspect that your father was murdered by someone close to him back then. Not…”

"Impossible!" Leng Yechen couldn't help but clench his fists.

Lian Huasheng saw Leng Ye sinking in disbelief. He was so anxious he cried out, "Tong Yimo's grandmother's medical diary clearly states that kind of worm could only be placed by someone closest to the victim. That patient had been poisoned by his wife who sought a sorcerer for the worm. When the patient suffered a flesh wound, she took advantage of it and applied the worm powder to the wound, causing the infection. Back then, the only person who could have access to your father's wounds was…"

"That's enough!" Leng Yechen rebuked, silencing Lian Huasheng.

Lianhua Sheng fell silent. Seeing Leng Ye Chen unwilling to accept the truth, she angrily stormed off.

He suddenly felt he shouldn't have told him the truth.

However, Old Master Leng died under mysterious circumstances. He knew the truth but kept it from Ah Chen, which made him deeply uneasy.

Back at his private residence, Lian Huasheng was about to return to his room to rest when he passed by the second floor and thought of Tong Yimo. He still had things he wanted to ask her, so he walked over and knocked on Tong Yimo's door.

Tong Yimo was sitting on the bed, watching a TV series on her phone. When someone knocked on the door, she thought it was Su Manxue coming to pick a fight again, so she kept silent and continued watching her phone.

"Tong Yimò, are you asleep" Lian Huasheng continued to knock on the door and asked.

Tong Yimo heard Lian Huasheng's voice outside the door and immediately put down her phone, replying, "Not yet!"

"I have something to ask you. Would you mind opening the door" Lian Huasheng continued.

Tong Yimo hurriedly got out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran to open the door.

“What's the matter” Tong Yimo asked, opening the door and looking at Lian Huasheng who was smiling.

Lian Huasheng glanced at Tong Yimo, noticing the slight swelling on her cheeks. As a doctor by profession, he instinctively asked, “Was your face beaten up by someone Could it be the young mistress”

After all, when Tong Yimo and Leng Yechen returned home for dinner, her face was still fine.

After dinner, he went for a run and came back to find her face swollen. In this house, besides Su Manxue who dared to treat her harshly, who else would have a problem with Tong Yimo!

"I'm fine!" Tong Yimo pursed her lips and smiled, trying to change the subject. "Even the doctor, what did you find me for"

"Oh! There's nothing else, I just want you to think about it again. Where is that 'Guzha' your grandmother wrote, really Was it burned by her, or did she hide it Or was it taken away by someone else!"

"Is this important to you" Tong Yimo stammered back.

Li Hua nodded slightly, answering with great sincerity: "It's very important! Because it involves human life!"

Tong Yimo, upon hearing that it was a matter of life and death, earnestly promised Lian Huasheng: "I'll think about it carefully tonight."

"Hmm! Think carefully, I hope you can recall it." Lian Huasheng said deeply.

Tong Yi Mo nodded to Lian Hua Sheng.

After Lian Huasheng left, Tong Yimo closed the door and lay back on the bed. She had no mood to continue watching the TV drama.

Her grandmother remembered having a book of gu, but as for its whereabouts... in Tong Yimo's memory, it had become very vague.

Even the doctor said, "Gu Zha" has to do with life and death. He didn't seem like he was lying to her.

Therefore, she had to think hard about where her grandmother had put that book of "Guzha" when she was little.

Tong Yimo thought and thought, unknowingly fell asleep.

Two little white butterflies danced gracefully in the darkness.

They're flying! Flying! Flying!

Suddenly, it burst forth from this darkness and into a cerulean sky.

The chirping of birds could still be heard in my ear.

A mountain stream, unlike the vast and unfathomable ocean, nor does it possess the overwhelming grandeur of a waterfall.

The streams in these woods always flow gently among all things, winding around the steep mountain walls and slowly meandering down to the next foothills.

"MOMO, MOMO, MOMO, don't play in the water anymore! Come home with Grandma!" Grandma's voice called from afar.

Liang Yimo, with patched trouser legs, stood in the stream. Her small hands held a palm-sized wild crucian carp.

"Grandma! Grandma! I caught a fish! Look! I caught a fish!"

"The fish is too small, you should let it go!"

But Momo wants to eat fish!

"Tonight we're having grilled loach, Grandma caught some," Grandma shouted, carrying a bamboo basket along the stone path by the stream, walking up the hillside on the other side.

Liang Yimo let go of the small fish in her hand and released it into the water. Stepping on the ripples, she set off down the stone path. Then she picked up the tattered sandals lying on a stone and followed her grandmother's steps.

"Grandma, wait for me!" Liang Yimo finally caught up to her grandmother's pace.

Then Grandma extended a finger toward her.

A small hand tightly grasped the finger covered with calluses, shaking cutely.

A big one and a small one, walking on a forest path.

Liang Yimo's childish voice sang unclearly, "Yún Hú Wān, Yún Hú Wān, my grandmother's Yún Hú Wān... There are many of my childhood fantasies, sunshine, slopes, streams, Quercus suber, and a land god..."

"That song is called 'Grandma's Pugu Bay,' how did it get into your little mouth and all the lyrics changed!" Grandma said with a chuckle.

"I've never seen Penghu Bay, beaches, waves, cacti, and old captains! I've only seen our Yunhu Bay, slopes, streams, live oaks, and Land Gods!" Liang Yimo started teasing her grandma.

Grandma gently rubbed Liang Yimo's head and smiled, "When MoMo grows up, she can go to the outside world to see the beach, waves, cacti, and old sailors!"

"Hmm! I want to take grandma with me too!" Liang Yimo said with childish eagerness.

As soon as the two of them reached the front gate of the walled courtyard, Liang Yimo saw two strangers sitting on the stone steps in front of the house.

"Mom, I'm home!" A strange woman, beautiful as a water lily, wearing dark green military uniform and twin braids, greeted her grandmother affectionately.

However, grandma's face was cold. She put down the bamboo basket on her back and handed it to Liang Yimo, asking her to take it to the firewood shed.

Beside the strange woman stood a little boy wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, greyish-green overalls, and white sneakers. He had a buzz cut.

"Mom…" the woman called out again, her voice filled with warmth.

Grandmother still had a cold face and ignored the woman.

Liang Yimo put the bamboo basket in the firewood shed and ran back to her grandmother's side, tugging at the corner of her grandmother's clothes. Her voice was childish and weak as she spoke, "Grandmother, Grandmother, Momo is hungry!"

"Mom, who is this little girl" the woman asked with a smile.

Grandma then introduced, "This is Liang Yimo, your elder sister's daughter. Yimo, this is your second aunt."

"Momo, hello! You're so beautiful! When you grow up, you must be a stunning beauty!" The woman glanced at Liang Yimo and praised with a blooming smile.

Looking at the beautiful little girl before her, the woman remembered her own son and turned to look at the boy sitting silently on the steps.

The woman turned around and, dragging the little boy by the arm, brought him before Liang Yimo and her grandmother.

"Mom, his name is Long Zhiwei, he follows my surname, you can just call him Xiao Wei from now on." The woman touched the little boy's head and said to him, "Xiao Wei, be good! Call grandma!"

The Dragon Guards remained silent.

The woman looked at her mother-in-law with a helpless expression: "Mom, I want to leave Xiao Wei here with you and have you take care of him for a while. I'll come back to pick him up later, okay"

"Suit yourself!" Grandma still replied with a bit of displeasure.

The woman pursed her red lips and then squatted down, taking Liang Yimo's small hand. She took a candy from her pocket and placed it in the palm of Liang Yimo's hand, saying softly, "Mo Mo, Xiao Wei is your cousin. From now on, you will play with Xiao Wei every day, okay"

"Um! Good!" Liang Yimo nodded obediently.

"MOMO is such a good girl!" The woman smiled and stood up.

"MOMO, you and Little Wei go start a fire first. Grandma will be over later to cook dinner for you both!" Grandma said softly.

Liang Yimo responded with an "Mmm," and then proactively reached out to grab her younger cousin, Long Zhiwei's, hand, but was rudely brushed off by him.

The Dragon Guard immediately hid behind the woman, two black and white eyes glaring unpleasantly at Liang Yimo.

Liang Yimo dejectedly put down her little hand.

Grandma glanced at Liang Yimo with a kind smile and said, "Yimo, you go start the fire first. Grandma will be right there."

Liang Yimo only then nodded and went to the kitchen.

Her small hands were very nimble. She struck a match and lit the wood, then picked up a bamboo tube and blew into the stove until the firewood inside crackled merrily.

"Mommy—Mommy—sniffle—Mommy, don't go! Don't leave me! Mommy!"

Outside the kitchen door, a child's heart-wrenching cry suddenly rang out.

Liang Yimo put down the bamboo tube in her hand and ran to the kitchen door, looking towards the sound.

Just now, the woman walked quickly away from the gate of the walled courtyard, her back disappearing around the corner.

And Grandma was holding that crying boy, using her own clothing corner to constantly wipe the tears from his eyes.

The pain of separation between a mother and her child is something Liang Yimo had never experienced.

Because, from the time she could remember, the only person she had was her grandmother.

To her, her parents held no warmth or familiarity whatsoever.

At that time, Liang Yimo's little world only had her grandmother, the little dog Ah Huang, the little cat Ah Hua, and the two little sheep Angang and Meimei.

Later, there was also the Dragon Guard, but later on, she seemed to have forgotten about it. In this small world, only she and her grandmother, Ah Huang, Ah Hua, Ang Ang, and Me Me remained.

Grandma used chopsticks to make a plate of dark, spicy grilled loaches with chili flakes that smelled really good.

Liang Yimo ate with smacking lips, one by one, feeling that her grandmother's grilled mud loach, even the fish bones were crispy and particularly fragrant in her mouth.

However, the Dragon Guard, still sitting at the rickety wooden table, just stared blankly at Liang Yimo, not eating a single grain of rice.

"Xiao Wei, eat a little more, you need to eat to grow taller!" Grandma said patiently.
