After hearing what Shanque said, Lianyi paused. She didn't expect the other party to be so cruel.

"Our previous guess was that someone would come in with explosives, but now it seems that they are planning to use the natural gas pipeline under the Ruan residence to cause trouble."

Shanque had arranged for people to clear out the kitchen. Fortunately, the Ruan family had a spare kitchen to deal with emergencies, so the banquet hall was not affected.

But Lianyi paused, separated from Tanhua, and went straight upstairs to meet Old Madam Ruan.

Madam Ruan had already received the news and her face looked very unhappy. She was talking to Old Man Ruan and the others and only stopped talking when she saw Lianyi coming in.

"Lian Yi, why are you here?"

"Grandma, I just received news that someone tampered with the kitchen. I was worried about you, so I came up to check on you and the grandfathers."

"Don't worry, we can still handle this. I'm just about to ask Haitang to announce the end of the banquet to prevent innocent people from getting hurt."

"Grandma, most of the guests of your generation have already left, and the ones left are all young people. It's okay for you to stay a little longer, as long as you don't make a scene.

I came here to ask grandma, is the Ruan family's old house a new one or a renovation?"

Lianyi explained the purpose of her visit.

"The Ruan family's old house has always been here, but it wasn't this big before. It has undergone several expansions to its current size. I remember it was renovated once last year."

Mrs. Ruan recalled.

"Grandma, who is in charge of renovating the old house?"

Madam Ruan frowned and thought for a while, then seemed to realize something, stomped the cane in her hand and said:

"Jihong was in charge. Do you mean he took advantage of the renovation to do something?"

"It's very likely. Even if something happens in the kitchen, it won't affect the banquet hall and you, grandma, and he won't achieve his desired goal."

Lianyi told the truth that because the date of the banquet was set in a hurry, the national security did not have time to conduct a detailed investigation. They only did a rough check and did not enter some sensitive places, so hidden dangers have arisen now.

"Is it too late for us to leave the old house now?"

Mr. Ruan asked with a frown.

"You can leave, but Ruan Jihong will definitely not let you leave so easily. I'm also worried that his purpose in doing this is to force you to leave the old house and then take action halfway. We can't mess around on our own."

"Okay, go ahead and handle this matter. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay at Ruan's house. I want to see what this ungrateful guy can do to me."

Old Madam Ruan said in a cold voice that what she hated most in her life was being threatened. She had survived the deaths of her husband and son, so she would not cause trouble for her child today.

"Okay, grandma, let the grandpas stay with you. I'll go down first. There will be people guarding you at the door. If there is any emergency, just follow their arrangements."

Lianyi didn't waste any time after she finished speaking. She went out and met Feng's parents again. After giving them instructions, she went to look for Shanque.

After Lianyi saw the C4 explosives placed in the kitchen from the surveillance video, she became more certain of her guess.

"Brother Shanque, these explosives are not enough to send the entire Ruan residence into the sky. I think this is a trick."

"How are you sure?"

A national security officer nearby blurted out.

"I'm an actor. I've been involved in some explosion scenes and worked with explosion masters. These explosives can only blow up this kitchen at most."

Lianyi said calmly.

Then he told Shanque that the Ruan family's old house had been renovated a year ago and that Ruan Jihong was the person in charge, and then he told Shanque his own speculation:
“He must have left a back door for himself when renovating the house so he could enter the Ruan residence without alerting anyone, so I didn’t notice it.

What Brother Shanque said just now reminded me that the purpose of blowing up the kitchen should be to create chaos, force the people attending the banquet to leave, and then divert your attention. Their real goal is the natural gas pipeline buried under Ruan's house. If the pipeline explodes, then his goal will be achieved. " "It's really vicious, but now that we have found the explosives in the kitchen, it should be able to be detonated. Will they carry out subsequent plans?"

The titmouse muttered to itself.

"It should be. If this bomb is eliminated, it means the alarm has been lifted. Both you and the Ruan family will relax their vigilance. Wouldn't it be more likely that they can send us to hell in the middle of the night?"

This is the answer Lianyi came up with from the opponent's perspective. If it were her, she would definitely do the same.

"But now that the Ruan residence has been renovated, we don't know where the back door is. It will take time to investigate."

Tit also agreed with Lianyi's analysis, but time was limited and they were afraid that it would be too late.

"Natural gas pipelines are usually buried no more than one meter above the ground. If we find the natural gas pipeline passing through Ruan's house, we should be able to find the back door he left behind.

I will go to the hospital to see him again. It would be better if he could tell me in person. "

Ripple thought for a while and said.

"Okay, we will do this on a two-pronged approach! But all actions must be carried out under the premise of ensuring your own safety."

"Of course, I am the one who is going to inherit the Ruan Group. How can I put myself in danger?"

After the two men finalized the follow-up matters and were preparing to take action, news came from the other side that the people disguised as Feng's parents encountered an ambush and were forced to stop by two cars one in front and one behind.

"Catch those people, don't miss any of them."

Shanque gave the order directly. This group of people simply did not take the law of the country seriously and actually kidnapped blatantly. This time they must let the other party know why the flowers are so red.

Lianyi turned around to meet up with Second Aunt Ruan, and then began to see off the guests who were leaving one after another. Mr. Zhou and Liu Ziying had already received the message from Lianyi, and knew that she would take care of household chores next, so they had already left the Ruan residence.

When most people had left, Lianyi, accompanied by Heiye and Tanhua, went to the largest hospital in the city to visit her half-brother.

Ruan Jihong had just finished the examination and was being observed in a single room. Aono Keiko was peeling an apple. Lianyi knocked on the door symbolically and pushed it open and walked in.

The mother and son turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw that it was Lianyi who came in, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, but no one spoke.

Lianyi smiled, then slowly walked to Ruan Jihong's bed and asked:

"I heard that you spent a lot of time in the hospital, but nothing was found. You even had someone take photos of your visit. Are you protesting against the Ruan family?"

Ruan Jihong stared into Lianyi's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"I am lying here thanks to you!"

"You deserve it, don't you? You're just playing dirty tricks behind people's backs. You should have expected what would happen to you. This is called karma in this life."

Lian Yi responded without any hesitation.

"Miss Ripple."

Keiko Aono on the side tried to stop the quarrel between the two, but she was interrupted by Lianyi just as she opened her mouth:

"Please call me Miss Ruan. Lianyi is not your name."

"Ms. Ruan, Jihong is your brother after all. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"

Lian Yi smiled sarcastically, and then said:

"Brother? How ridiculous! Do you think he is qualified to be my brother?" (End of this chapter)
