Chapter 579

Jiang Wang Provides a Lead

With so many people, they would have to be questioned overnight to find the big fish behind it all. If these individuals could be captured, the area would truly become much more peaceful—at the very least, there wouldn’t be large-scale searching for Lin Nannan anymore.

As time passed, they would eventually realize that Lin Nannan hadn’t researched anything out, and since they couldn’t gather any useful information, they’d slowly give up. Only then would true tranquility return to this place.

However, while Lu Hang hadn’t managed to extract any information from the interrogations, Jiang Wang provided him with quite a few useful tips. This prompted Lu Hang to rush over to the hospital...

"Uncle, you said they’ve set their sights on the Lin family in Beijing—is that true?" That was precisely why he had come.

Jiang Wang’s back had taken a bad beating, and even after receiving treatment, he still couldn’t lie down. Seeing Lu Hang’s concern, he shared everything he knew.

"Those people never had any intention of letting me go, so they spoke without restraint. They seemed to suggest that if things didn’t work out here, they would target the Lin family to threaten them, convinced that Lin Nannan wouldn’t budge. They also believed the Lin family were more useful than the Lu family and had likely already sent people over." Knowing how he had been rescued, Jiang Wang didn’t complain about being caught up in it. Instead, he considered himself lucky to have a smart wife—otherwise, he had no idea what fate might have befallen him.

Since they were all family, he didn’t want anything to happen to Lin Nannan’s relatives and spelled it out clearly to Lu Hang.

If Lu Hang’s family was okay, his wife would be at ease. Otherwise, if she were constantly worried about her family, his own life would become difficult too.

"Uncle, thank you!" Lu Hang said gratefully.

If the Lin family remained unprepared, there’s no telling what could happen. After all, the Lin family had many children, and if even one fell into the wrong hands, the situation would become dire.

"We’re family—no need for formalities. I’m just glad I could help," Jiang Wang replied casually.

Watching from the side, Lu Hua felt proud of her husband’s magnanimity and couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up, which made Jiang Wang a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lu Hang didn’t say much else, giving the couple some space.

Thanks could wait—the most urgent matter was to inform the Lin family. Otherwise, they might assume everything was fine now that Jiang Xiaomeng and the others had been captured, and if they were wiped out in one go, it could be disastrous!

Lu Hang borrowed the hospital’s phone and called the Lin residence directly, not caring whether they were even up at that hour.

The operation had taken place in the middle of the night. After capturing the suspects, interrogations began, and once Jiang Wang’s information came through, Lu Hang went to see him. By then, dawn was already breaking.

The situation was urgent, and he couldn’t afford to delay. When no one answered the phone at first, he redialed nonstop until, just as he was about to hang up, someone finally picked up.

"Hello, this is Lin Kangnian. Who is this?" Lin Kangnian, awakened by the incessant ringing, suppressed his irritation and asked patiently.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Hang immediately responded, "Brother, it’s me, Lu Hang!"

"Lu Hang?" At the sound of the name, Lin Kangnian’s heart sank, and he asked worriedly, "What’s wrong? Did something happen to my mother? Or to Nan Nan?"

Otherwise, why would he be calling at such an hour?

"They’re both fine!" Lu Hang realized his call had alarmed him and quickly explained, "I have something important to tell you. I was afraid of missing the opportunity, so I called now."

Relieved that everyone he cared about was safe, Lin Kangnian relaxed and said, "Go ahead."

Lu Hang explained the situation they were facing and warned, "According to my uncle, they’ve already made plans and will definitely target your family. You either need to find a way to resolve this or stay vigilant to avoid giving them any opportunities."

Hearing how serious the situation was, Lin Kangnian immediately grew stern. "Do they really think the Lin family is a pushover? Every stray cat and dog thinks they can mess with us."

Lu Hang also hoped the Lin family would take strong measures to deter those lowlifes.

"Brother, I can’t come over myself, but if you need help, reach out to Zhang Shengguo. He won’t refuse," Lu Hang said with certainty.

Lin Kangnian knew that when Zhang Shengguo’s life had been hanging by a thread, Lu Hang and the others had saved him. So, not only would Zhang Shengguo help without hesitation, but the entire Zhang family would also step in if needed.

"I know, don’t worry. If anything comes up, I'll get help from the Zhang family. You should also look after Du Du and protect Nan Nan—don’t let anything happen to them." Lin Kangnian knew he had his own tasks but still reminded him carefully.

"I know, don’t worry," Lu Hang thought for a moment and added, "Also reassure Grandpa and Grandma. Tell them Nan Nan is in an area protected by the military and is safe. She’s being cared for by her mother-in-law, and my family is with her. They won’t leave the village easily, and the village itself is under protection. Nothing will happen, so they shouldn’t overthink it."

Knowing the Lin family had faced many troubles before, Lu Hang worried they might bear too much and become anxious, so he spelled things out clearly to prevent any mishaps.

After hearing this, Lin Kangnian immediately replied, "Alright, I’ll explain it carefully. Let’s stay in touch if anything comes up!"

Lu Hang said okay and hung up. The Lin family, awakened by the early morning call, couldn’t fall back asleep. After hearing bits and pieces from Lin Kangnian, they hurried over to ask for details. Lin Kangnian explained everything Lu Hang had said, reminding everyone to stay cautious and let him know if anything seems off so arrangements could be made to catch anyone suspicious.

The Lin family had nothing to say.

It was one thing after another—like they were always being targeted.

Really, they never got to enjoy the good stuff but were always dragged into trouble. It was so frustrating.

However, regardless of how they felt, they knew this matter was serious and couldn’t be taken lightly. Everyone got serious and started reminding each other to stay vigilant...

……

Lu Hang spent a full day and night questioning these people, so much so that Lin Nannan couldn’t get a hold of him.

When Lin Nannan found out Lu Hang hadn’t returned all night, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She asked around and learned that Lu Hang had left yesterday and hadn’t come back, with no one knowing what he was up to. This made Lin Nannan quite worried.

Lu Hang wasn’t the type to act recklessly or stay away from home without reason, so his absence last night likely meant something had happened.

That got her worried, and she mentioned it to Yin Xu, expressing her wish to return home and check on things.

Lin Nannan’s research was way ahead of everyone else. Many of them were stuck on certain points they couldn’t figure out, while Lin Nannan progressed smoothly, as if nothing could stump her. Her explanations made everything super clear, though it was also rather disheartening for the others.

For someone like Tian Jia, it was even more discouraging—to the point of feeling like they weren’t cut out for learning...

Yin Xu felt that not only Tian Jia but even he was included in that sentiment.

When Lin Nannan asked for leave to go down the mountain and check on things, he agreed without hesitation.

He knew the area below was well-protected, so it would be safe for Lin Nannan to return. Besides, with A Da and A Jian accompanying her, there was no need to worry about anything going wrong, so he granted her request.
