The moment Chen Meng’er touched Elder Qu’s body, her mutated brain quickly displayed Elder Qu’s current physical condition.
When Chen Meng’er saw the data of Elder Qu’s body displayed on the mutated brain, she heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Elder Qu’s body had been well-nourished by her during this period of time. Some of the hidden illnesses in his body had mostly recovered. Otherwise, with Elder Qu’s fluctuating emotions, it would really make his body unable to bear it.
Elder Qu’s words completely stunned Cao Feiying. She had never thought that her father-in-law, Elder Qu, would say such words. He was trying to kick her out of the Qu family. Her mouth opened and closed, and in the end, she said one word. “Father.”
Han Ying was shocked. She and her brother had still underestimated Chen Meng’er’s position in her father-in-law’s heart.
“Grandpa my mother, she…” Qu Haojie never thought that his mother would anger his grandfather to such an extent that she would kick her out of the Qu family. He wanted to speak up for his mother,
however, as soon as he opened his mouth, Elder Qu waved his hand at him. “Don’t say anything else. I’ve made up my mind.” As he spoke, he patted Chen Meng’er’s arm and said, “Girl, help me and your grandmother back to the room. Oh right, make a pot of tea for me and your grandmother later to calm our nerves.”
“Alright, I’ll send you guys upstairs.”
The Sun family didn’t have a peaceful night either.
Sun Guoqiang was pacing back and forth in his father’s study room.
Elder Sun, who was also worried about the matter in his heart, rarely opened his mouth to scold him, saying that he wasn’t steady.
“Dad, what time is it? Why is there still no news? Do you think something happened?” Sun Guoqiang looked at the passing of time and could not keep his composure as he asked.
“Can’t you say something good?” Elder Sun might have said so, but in his heart, he was not much better than Sun Guoqiang. He even had a bad premonition.
“No, Dad, look at the time. Two hours ago, we received news that the Qu family’s two elders had come out from the Green Gang residence. However, after that, there was no more information.” It was rare for Sun Guoqiang to not be afraid of his father, instead, he opened his mouth to refute his father’s words.

It was not that Sun Guoqiang was not afraid of his father, but at this moment, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. If the plan this time did not succeed, then their family would be finished. If the Sun family fell, what was there to be afraid of?
“Let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps the news will spread slowly. The people sent out this time are all mercenaries. It is unlikely that they will fail.” Elder Sun thought, when the other party came to their door and wanted to provide help to their family to deal with the Qu family, what he said swept away the bad premonition in his heart.
Thinking of this, Elder Sun’s heart became a little more assured. However, Elder Sun had never been able to figure out how the Qu family had offended that foreigner? To let the other party take their lives at all costs?
Just as the two were feeling conflicted and worried, the doorbell of the study room finally rang. This time, Sun Guoqiang did not even open his mouth to call them in. He directly rushed to the door and opened it. Seeing the person who came, Sun Guoqiang did not even bother to hide the anxiety on his face. He directly asked, “How is it?”
On Elder Sun’s face, there was a rare trace of anxiety.
“The situation isn’t good.” The person rushed over. At this moment, he was still panting and couldn’t even speak properly.
“What do you mean by the situation isn’t good? Explain it clearly to me.” When Sun Guoqiang heard that the person said that the situation wasn’t good, he anxiously grabbed the other party’s collar and asked.
When Elder Sun heard this, he couldn’t sit still anymore. He directly stood up and his two eyes stared straight at the person. He wanted nothing more than to stare a hole in the person’s body.
The man was frightened by Sun Guoqiang’s ferocious expression. His face was frighteningly pale. He trembled and did not speak for a long time.
“Hurry up and speak. If you don’t speak, do you believe that I will shoot you?” Sun Guoqiang’s last bit of patience was exhausted by the man’s trembling appearance.
The man swallowed his saliva and said, “We just received news that the mercenaries we sent out have no movement. We can’t contact them at all.”
The man was sent to pass on the message. After he finished what he knew, he shut his mouth.
“What do you mean you can’t contact them? Don’t you know how to go over and take a look?” Sun Guoqiang grabbed the man’s collar, he had never let go. With his roar and force, the man almost couldn’t breathe.
Elder Sun’s expression was also ugly. However, he was a little calmer than Sun Guoqiang. His face was gloomy. After being silent for a while, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the number that he had always remembered.
“Hello.” Once the phone was picked up, Elder Sun said with a slightly dry voice, “We can’t contact those mercenaries you sent. Do you have any other way to contact them?” Elder Sun’s voice was also filled with anxiety. He didn’t even realize that his voice was trembling.
Not knowing what the other party said, Elder Sun’s face turned ashen. After he hung up the phone, he fell onto the chair.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Sun Guoqiang let go of the person’s collar and asked impatiently. He completely ignored his father’s ashen expression. “What did he say?”
“We’re done. Our family is really finished this time,” Elder Sun said as he looked ahead without any focus in his eyes. He didn’t know who he was talking to. “We still underestimated the Qu family.”
Although Elder Sun didn’t reply to Sun Guoqiang’s words, there was nothing that Sun Guoqiang didn’t understand. Sun Guoqiang lost his footing and took a few steps back. If it wasn’t for someone supporting him from behind, he would have fallen on all fours.
