A Rare Threat

"Moreover, if I suddenly disappear after staying here, it would be like tipping them off. If they go into hiding, all of us would be in danger instead!"

"A Min is right. If we alert them, we’ll be left scrambling, constantly watching our backs. It’s better to end this for good and uproot them completely!" Grandma Lin said in a low voice.

Zhou Cuiwei hesitated slightly, "But won’t A Min be in danger then?"

"As long as Du Du isn’t in my hands, I won’t be in any danger!" Zheng Min shot back.

Lin Nannan was also worried about implicating Zheng Min. In this matter, she was entirely innocent. If anything happened to her, Lin Nannan would blame herself forever.

"Let’s wait for Grandpa and the others to return and discuss it further. Maybe there’s a way to settle this for good!" she said softly.

This matter required careful planning—it couldn’t be solved with just a few words.

Zheng Min didn’t leave either, waiting until Lin Zhaoyou and the others trickled in...

Seeing Zheng Min there, they weren’t surprised, figuring she was just visiting. But once everyone had gathered, Zhou Cuiwei spoke up, explaining how Zheng Min had been targeted, then added, her voice thick with worry, "A Min says we shouldn’t alert the enemy, but we’re afraid she’ll be in danger!"

The suddenness of the situation hit the Lin men like a shockwave. They exchanged glances, their expressions growing solemn.

"A Min, walk us through it all from the beginning again. Don’t leave out a single detail!" Lin Zhaoyou said sternly.

Though puzzled, Zheng Min repeated everything she remembered, talking herself hoarse...

"That’s not right," Lin Kangnian frowned after a moment of thought. "It’s not Nannan they’re after—it’s the Lin family. It’s us!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Lin Kangnian analyzed, "When you heard they wanted Du Du, you assumed it was just to threaten Nannan. But who in the capital doesn’t know how much our family regrets losing and then finding our daughter? We’ve done everything in our power to make up for it—like when I went to Yun City, or when you all visited Lu Heng’s hometown, or even when I nearly got into trouble delivering supplies to the military. Every single incident has made it clear to everyone how much we care about Nannan—and naturally, her daughter too. So, Du Du is the Lin family’s greatest weakness, hands down!"

The others went dead silent.

While the Lin descendants are also the family’s weakness, they aren’t Lin Nannan’s. Thus, Lu Dudu is the only one who could be used to control the entire Lin family—without exception!

"Who exactly is behind this?" Lin Kangjian hammered a fist on the table with a loud "bang," startling the children playing with Lu Dudu. The little girl’s brows furrowed, her lips trembling as if she were about to cry, but Lin Shuang’s sweet baby talk distracted her, preventing her from being frightened.

The adults glared at Lin Kangjian, shushing him to keep his voice down.

They could have discussed this in the study, but since they all wanted to stay close to the matter, they didn’t separate, so the kids wouldn’t be alone.

As for whether the children understood—those who could grasp it needed to know, and those who couldn’t wouldn’t be affected by hearing it.

Scolded, Lin Kangjian lowered his voice and muttered, "I’m just furious—who would want to harm us like this, even targeting a little child? Not only cruel but utterly shameless!"

"We’re all angry, but anger won’t solve anything. We need to find a way to smoke them out!" The old man cut him a look before muttering, "Though our family has its share of enemies, few would go to such extremes... but this? This is next-level."
