Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

He was not prepared to tell Elder Deng the truth.

It would be good if Elder Deng were to be furious, investigate, and make a scene.

Otherwise, if Li Lan and Elder Deng hadn't reacted to such a major event, the other party would have become suspicious.

"I will definitely investigate this to the end!"

Elder Deng was furious and said, "Not many people know that you possess immortal techniques, and even fewer have the means to enter my residence... These bastards have no shame at all!"

He spoke angrily, saying that only his own people could do this under the circumstances!

The more this happened, the angrier he became.

"By the way, Elder Deng, Qingzhu was injured while saving me. Although I have healed her, it's best to keep it a secret and let the outside world believe that she is critically injured and on the verge of death..."

Li Lan offered a reminder.

"Okay! I understand!"

Elder Deng immediately set off and convened a group meeting to investigate the matter!

……

"Go get some rest, you didn't sleep at all last night."

Xia Qingzhu walked over, looking at Li Lan with concern, and said, "You stayed up late, you need to catch up on your sleep. I heated up some milk for you, drink it before you go to sleep~~"

Li Lan took the steaming milk, drank it all in one gulp, smiled at her, and said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep."

"You should sleep too, get some rest."

"I know, you don't need to worry about me. I'll sit with Auntie and the others so they won't worry."

Xia Qingzhu spoke very sensibly, then gently hugged Li Lan and kissed her before letting her leave.

She is very clingy.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the villa, Yun Luojin and Li Guinong looked at Li Lan and Xia Qingzhu in the lobby on the first floor and suddenly exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles!

"These two kids, when did they get so fast..."

Li Guinong was puzzled.

They were all experienced people, and they could tell at a glance that Li Lan and Xia Qingzhu... were clearly in the honeymoon phase.

"Why are you asking so many questions about young people's affairs!"

Yun Luojin pinched him and laughed, "From now on, we can finally relax!"

They were extremely satisfied with Xia Qingzhu.

Li Guinong nodded, then sighed and said, "It's so good to be young."

……

The attack on Elder Deng's villa caused a huge uproar within the Fudao Group!

Despite numerous screenings, nothing was found.

Ultimately, in order to prepare for the upcoming Mount Tai Conference, the investigation had to be suspended.

"This time we really messed up..."

Inside a room, Gu Ruoxu, with a complicated expression, said guiltily, "From now on, I'm afraid Old Deng won't even trust us old brothers anymore..."

After all, they've been through thick and thin together, so there must be some feelings between them.

He did not want to see this situation.

"so what?"

Yang Lianlu remained calm and said, "Brother Gu, people need to make different choices at different stages of life."

“Back when you were starting out and struggling, he was your comrade-in-arms, your brother.”

"But what about now? Deng Huaigu is still clinging to those outdated ideas and has fallen behind the times!"

"As long as he is alive, you, and several other fellow Daoists, will suffer losses!"

"What have you been working so hard for all these years? Is it really for the Chinese people? Heh, Brother Gu, don't fool yourself."

"What's wrong with you wanting to give all the superior resources to your children and descendants? Why should ordinary people without connections compete with your descendants? You suffer so that your descendants can enjoy the good life. He can't even tolerate this and thinks you've become criminals who stole the fruits of China's labor. I, Yang, can't stand by and watch..."

Yang Lianlu shook his head, a smile playing on his lips.

He knew that Gu Ruoxu, Jiang Zhigong and others were already old and it would be difficult for them to improve their cultivation in this lifetime. At their age, what they valued most was their descendants.

Moreover, over the years, Gu Ruoxu has given many of the group's key resources to Gu Lianxi in order to pave the way for his grandson, Gu Lianxi. As a result, Deng Huaigu opposed this, which led to a rift between the two.
