Chapter 353: Growing Branches

Chapter 353: Unexpected complications
After a while, Ling Zhuoqun also came out. Looking at the twinkling lights outside and his family around him, he felt at ease.

Fortunately he came back.

Ling Zhuoqun quietly approached Li Luo, then pulled the children over, looking at the bright moon with tenderness in his eyes: "Today, our Ling family is reunited."

"By the way, where is Xiaolin?" Ling Zhuoqun then realized that he had not seen Ling Zhuolin since he came back.

"Dad, I know, Auntie and Uncle Long went out to play together!" Yaya raised her head and said while blinking her big eyes.

Ling Zhuoqun looked at Li Luo again and saw that Li Luo nodded.

"Since he's with Brother Long, there's nothing to worry about. But I see that between Brother Long and Xiao Lin..."

"Marriage and love are free, let them decide for themselves."

Li Luo's words made Ling Zhuoqun look sideways and glance at Li Luo a few times.

"I thought the same thing when the Gao family arranged their marriage, but who could have thought that they would do something like this!"

"Brother Shi Long, you know everything about me, is there anything you can't let go of?"

Ling Zhuoqun shook his head: "But Brother Long was not on the right path before, I'm afraid Xiaolin will be in danger."

"Brother Long has been in frequent contact with me recently, and he wants me to help him make money. I think Brother Long is very skillful, and he knows some business methods better than I do."

"And he has Xiaolin by his side. Xiaolin and Brother Long only went to Suicheng once, and they got in touch with the leader of Suicheng. I'm afraid their fortune has just begun."

"The two of them are still developing, so we shouldn't interfere too much." Li Luo comforted Ling Zhuoqun.

Ling Zhuoqun thought carefully about what Li Luo said: "What you said does make sense. Even if she doesn't get married, I, her brother, will still be her backup!"

Before they could go back, they saw the village chief coming over in a panic.

"Xiao Ling, you guys, hurry to the town, Xiao Lin is injured!"

Ling Zhuoqun and Li Luo looked at each other, then their expressions became very solemn.

"I'll go find Yue Jin and ask him to take us to town!"

After saying that, Li Luo rode his motorcycle to Chen Yuejin's house.

Ling Zhuoqun looked at Li Luo's skillful driving of the motorcycle and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As far as he knew, the Li family did not have a motorcycle. Not to mention the Li family, even the Qi family did not have a tool like a motorcycle. Then how did Li Luo ride a motorcycle?

But now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task is to check on Ling Zhuolin's condition first.

Soon, Chen Yuejin came back on a tricycle, followed by Li Luo on a motorcycle.

When Chen Yuejin saw Li Luo driving a motorcycle, the surprise in his eyes was no less than that of Ling Zhuoqun. Moreover, Li Luo could actually support such a large frame as that of a motorcycle. This was what shocked Chen Yuejin the most.

"There is no time to lose, let's go to town." Li Luo's face was calm as he carried Yaya to the car. Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei also got in the car at the speed of light, and Ling Zhuoqun stayed behind.

On the way, Chen Yuejin couldn't help but complain. "I was on a business trip with Brother Ling for a few days, and I almost rushed back without sleeping. I didn't expect that I would run to the town again before I closed my eyes."

"After you get to town, I'll go home first. When I'm ready to pick you up tomorrow, just call the farm."

"Brother Ling, how come you are still injured? You haven't slept for two days and two nights. You just wanted to rush back to see sister-in-law as soon as possible, but you didn't say anything to make sister-in-law feel at ease."

"Yuejin, you talked too much today." Ling Zhuoqun's voice was cold, but to Li Luo, it was full of heartache.

It takes about twenty minutes to get to the town. If it weren’t for the road construction in Wanlong Village, it would probably be shorter.

After they arrived at the hospital, they first said goodbye to Chen Yuejin, then hurriedly asked the nurse and found Ling Zhuolin's ward. They saw that Ling Zhuolin had fallen asleep with a ventilator, and there was no sign of Shi Long beside her.

"Where is Shi Long? Didn't they say he would protect Xiaolin well? How could he become like this?" Ling Zhuoqun's whole body was trembling. He only had Ling Zhuolin as his sister now, how could he become like this?
"Are you the relatives of this lady? There is a man with this lady who was stabbed and is being treated now. Do you know where his relatives are?"

The nurse's words made Ling Zhuoqun freeze in his tracks: "Knife wound?"

"Where is the person who hurt others?" Ling Zhuoqun immediately became alert.

The nurse shook her head and said, "This lady brought the injured gentleman here. You can ask her everything after she wakes up."

"Thank you, nurse." Li Luo knew that Ling Zhuoqun was very excited, so he followed the nurse out to go through a series of procedures.

On the medical record, Li Luo saw the man's name, it was Shi Long!
"I've also paid this gentleman's bill."

As it was late at night, Ling Zhuolin was the only patient in the ward. Li Luo let the children lie on other beds, while he and Ling Zhuoqun stayed with Ling Zhuolin.

It was not until midnight that Ling Zhuolin woke up slowly, and when she woke up she asked excitedly about Shi Long's whereabouts.

"Brother Long, Brother Long, I want to see Brother Long. Blood, it's all blood..." Ling Zhuolin's tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Xiaolin, don't be afraid, I'm your brother. If anything happens, just tell me." Ling Zhuoqun patted Ling Zhuolin's back slowly, trying to calm her down.

After seeing that the person in front of him was Ling Zhuoqun, Ling Zhuolin gave up struggling. Then a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes: "Brother, call the police, it's Gao Yulong, he hurt Brother Long! Brother Long was trying to protect me..."

Gao Yulong?
This was someone that neither Ling Zhuoqun nor Li Luo had ever thought of.

"I'll call the police!" Li Luo ran out without saying a word.

Ling Zhuolin swallowed her saliva and continued, "The girl he married, the child she was pregnant with was not his, and he even called me a vixen for having an affair with someone else behind his back, but it was clearly him who had an affair with someone else first..."

"Brother Long was protecting me, but I don't know when he took out a folding knife. It was too dark, and Brother Long couldn't dodge in time, so..."

"Gao Yulong!" Ling Zhuoqun's hand slowly tightened. It seemed that just letting Gao Yulong lose his job was too easy for him. This time it was intentional murder! He would have to stay in jail for a few years!

"Where's Brother Long? I want to find Brother Long! I saw a lot of blood. Brother, I was really scared at the time, so I brought Brother Long to the hospital. I don't know anything after that."

Ling Zhuolin cried so hard that she couldn't speak and spoke incoherently.

"Don't worry, Brother Long will be fine. You just stay here and take care of yourself. I'll tell you if anything happens." For Ling Zhuolin's safety, Ling Zhuoqun couldn't bear to tell her that Shi Long was still being rescued.
