Chapter 557 - 556: Return Journey

Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Return Journey

Seeing Huang Yanquan like this, Yue Jun felt unable to say anything more. She could only sigh and say, "It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been injured again."

"Yue Jun, don’t say that. Honestly, it’s my fault. If it weren’t for me, Jia Minghuan wouldn’t have captured you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jun quickly waved her hand and said, "How can it be your fault? If blame is to be placed, it should be on Jia Minghuan for his impure thoughts. You treated him as a friend, yet he wanted your life. Someone with such malicious intentions deserves to die."

Hearing Yue Jun’s words, Huang Yanquan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Alright, let’s stop blaming each other. We are both fine now, aren’t we? Yue Jun, it’s great that you’re okay." As Huang Yanquan spoke, he held Yue Jun’s hand, his eyes filled with fear. When he saw Jia Minghuan hold a dagger to Yue Jun’s neck, he realized he deeply loved this woman. At that moment, he would have willingly exchanged his life to save hers.

Feeling the warmth in her hand, Yue Jun did not pull away but rather held Huang Yanquan’s hand back, her eyes shining brightly.

Having gone through this experience, she had already decided to follow her heart, avoiding unexpected regrets that might be too late.

Seeing Yue Jun take his hand, Huang Yanquan’s eyes were filled with excitement, "Yue Jun..."

Just as Huang Yanquan wanted to say more, Lin Jing entered, "Drink this medicine first."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jun quickly stood up, took the medicine bowl, and fed Huang Yanquan.

Lin Jing saw this and left again.

Yiyi saw Lin Jing come out and couldn’t help but ask, "How is Uncle Huang doing?"

"Don’t worry, he won’t die."

Hearing this, Yiyi felt relieved. She quickly asked Lin Jing to help check on others while she joined to help. After a round of busy work, Yiyi sat down, somewhat exhausted.

"Are you tired?"

Gu Tingyu saw Yiyi lying down and went over to press her shoulders.

Yiyi shook her head and said, "It’s alright. You should stop pressing and sit down to rest as well." Everyone was tired today; surely Gu Tingyu was more exhausted than she was, since he handled all the aftermath.

Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "It’s fine, I’m not tired." Then he continued to press her shoulders before sitting next to her.

"What do you plan to do with Jia Minghuan? Although he attempted to assassinate Uncle Huang, he didn’t succeed. Moreover, the Jia Family has significant influence in Hong Kong; convicting him for this may not be effective."

Yiyi responded directly, "Since he attempted to assassinate Uncle Huang, let Uncle Huang decide what to do." The trip to Hong Kong was turbulent, but fortunately, they came out unscathed.

Gu Tingyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, let him handle it."

After chatting a bit more, they each went to rest. The next day, Gu Tingyu had to return to Shangjing as his holiday had ended.

"Tingyu, you should go back first. Yiyi and I will return soon, so don’t worry."

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Okay, but Mom, be more careful in Hong Kong. Although Jia Minghuan has been caught, there’s still chaos in the Huang Family that hasn’t been resolved."

Yue Jun quickly nodded, "Don’t worry, Tingyu, we’ll be extra cautious." Having experienced this ordeal, Yue Jun became more cautious.

Gu Tingyu heard this and nodded. He shared a reluctant embrace with Yiyi before leaving.

After seeing Gu Tingyu off, Yue Jun and Yiyi returned home.

Due to his injuries, Huang Yanquan couldn’t join them in saying goodbye, but when he saw Yue Jun return, he asked, "Tingyu went back?"

Yue Jun nodded and said, "Yes, he has work, so he had to go back first."

Huang Yanquan responded, "Actually, in a few days, you and Yiyi can return first. Once things here are resolved, I’ll hurry back too."

Yue Jun still felt uneasy.

"You’re still injured. How can I feel assured going back?" She wanted to return soon without being a burden, but Huang Yanquan’s injuries were worse than before, so she couldn’t be at ease.

Hearing Yue Jun’s words, Huang Yanquan felt happy but considered the safety issue of her and Yiyi in Hong Kong, deciding they should return first.

"Yue Jun, once I can get out of bed and walk in a couple of days, you and Yiyi should go back. Don’t worry about me; I’ve already made arrangements. The matters with the Huang and Jia families can all be wrapped up."

Yue Jun was somewhat surprised.

"You’ve already arranged everything?"

Huang Yanquan nodded and said, "Yes, don’t you trust my abilities?"

Yue Jun trusted Huang Yanquan’s abilities. Previously, in his investments, he performed the most thorough investigations and would cover all aspects in any matter.

"Alright, since you’ve arranged it all, once you recover a bit, Yiyi and I will head back to Shangjing."

Seeing Yue Jun agree, Huang Yanquan nodded.

After five or six days, with Huang Yanquan’s injuries somewhat improved and able to get up and move, Yue Jun and her daughter began their return journey.

However, Yiyi left Yun Chu and the others behind to prevent Huang Yanquan from being ambushed again. As for Fu Yun, Lin Jing, and some disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect, they went back with them.

Yun Chu initially felt uneasy leaving Yiyi, but with the people from the Divine Medicine Sect, he had no worries.

When Old Master Ding saw Yue Jun and Yiyi, his face was filled with joy, "Yue Jun, Yiyi, you’re finally back." Although they had been in contact during this time, he still missed his daughter and granddaughter.

Yue Jun was also very happy to see Old Master Ding, "Dad, we’re back."

Yiyi went straight forward and talked warmly with Old Master Ding.

However, seeing them a bit tired, Old Master Ding urged them to go rest in their rooms, "Alright, since you’re back, there’s plenty of time to talk later. Go rest in your rooms first, and we’ll talk more about what happened in Hong Kong tonight."

Yiyi and Yue Jun naturally nodded.

During dinner, Yiyi recounted the experiences in Hong Kong.

Old Master Ding was filled with anger after hearing the story, "What... Yue Jun was kidnapped? Why didn’t you tell me about this?"

"Dad, it’s all in the past now, don’t get too excited. Come on, let’s eat."

Old Master Ding snorted coldly, "This Huang Yanquan is really irresponsible, putting you in danger. When he arrives, I’ll have a good talk with him."
