Chapter 1184: Off to Another Mission

If Congtong were still young and could be sold, he would definitely be sold again.

But as boys grow up, they become harder to sell. Additionally, someone advised the boy’s foster parents, "Your children might have been brought here by him, and if he’s gone, he might take his younger siblings away too."

Therefore, the boy was kept, but at the same time, his treatment at home was quite similar to Mengyu’s during her childhood.

Because of their shared plight, whenever Mengyu knew he was punished by being deprived of food, she would sneak him some sweet potatoes.

Sometimes, when his family would hit him, she would step in to protect him.

Every time the boy received her help, he would look at her with grateful eyes. At those moments, she could see the two pupils in his eyes.

Since the boy usually kept his head down, no one knew he had double pupils, so only Mengyu knew that the boy called Gougou was a Chong Tongzi.

At this moment, upon hearing Le Wen mention that Qin Chaowen’s son had double pupils, Mengyu thought of Congtong, who grew up abused by his foster parents in Tiger Valley.

Mengyu estimated that there was a high chance the boy was indeed Qin Chaowen’s son, Qin Wenju!

Mengyu secretly decided that she must visit Tiger Valley!

Moreover, she wanted to meet the witch in Tiger Valley. The Taoyuan Space she possessed was given to her by the younger of the Zhou Brothers in a past life, supposedly stolen from the witch.

Now that she had greatly benefited from this Taoyuan Space, she couldn’t shake the feeling of owing the witch. She had to see her to settle this karma.

Additionally, she hadn’t forgotten the torment from the Zhou Brothers and the humiliation from the matriarch of the Zhou Family.

Now that she had the ability, she could certainly go back for revenge!

However, it’s better to handle the current affairs first.

After a day, they managed to buy six courtyards and handle all the paperwork—an incredibly fast pace. Even Gu Dongxing was surprised at how effective the Nan Family’s influence was.

They returned to Yang’an Alley, and just as they stepped inside, the phone rang.

The moment Mengyu heard the phone ring, she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after Gu Dongxing answered the call, he lowered his head with a wry smile, resting it against Mengyu’s forehead: "Wife, I’m really sorry, I have an emergency mission."

Mengyu tapped Gu Dongxing’s forehead: "I knew it, remember to stay safe!"

She had given him a lot of the starvation pills she had refined, so he wouldn’t go hungry even if he couldn’t eat during the mission.

Originally, she planned to prepare some jerky for him to take along, but he had to leave so urgently without any delay.

"Yes, I’ll listen to you," Gu Dongxing accepted the starvation pills, nuzzling her head affectionately before leaving resolutely, despite his reluctance, that very night.

Who knows how long this trip will be or if he will be back for the New Year.

Mengyu was upset; they had clearly agreed on a half-month vacation, liar!

Hai Xue was worried when she heard that her son had to go on another mission.

Mengyu turned to comfort her: "Aunt Hai, this is just how Dongxing’s work is; he spends most of his time on missions. However, his power is very strong now, and he will definitely return safely. So, don’t worry!"

What kind of fate is this? Even when I hate separation myself, I still have to comfort others.
