Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Taking Lu Ruiming Away

Lu Jianshe asked Zhang Huishu, "So, how much do you know about the old lady? Or do you think there’s something about her that we don’t know?"

Zhang Huishu shook her head. "I really don’t know."

Gu Pan said, "Think about it, we don’t hold deep grudges, the grudge is between us and the old lady. If Lu Ruiming isn’t even her real grandson, do you think we need to trouble you?"

Lu Ruisheng added, "But if the old lady knew about your situation, what do you think she would do? So, talking about cooperation is more appropriate, you should understand, right?"

Zhang Huishu quickly nodded. "I know, I know, let me think."

Gu Pan gestured for her to sit down and gave her a bottle of mineral water. "Take your time."

Zhang Huishu was indeed trying hard to think because she knew that she could only compromise and submit to Gu Pan and the others to save her life. The old lady was no simple character; she had seen her defeat two men, yes, yes, that was something probably nobody knew.

She quickly said to Gu Pan and the others, "I remembered something, I don’t know if it’s useful to you."

Gu Pan said, "Let’s hear it. If it’s useful, we can let bygones be bygones."

"One time, I took Ruiming with the old lady on a trip to the countryside. By the riverside, Ruiming almost got kidnapped, but then the old lady caught up and quickly knocked two tall men to the ground. She was exceptionally fast. My mind was all on the child then, so I didn’t ask more about it afterward. The old lady didn’t mention it, and I overlooked it. Moreover, that day happened because I was touching up my makeup, and the child moved away from my side, so I didn’t dare to bring up that day." Zhang Huishu felt guilty recalling that day; after all, she had nearly lost the child.

Lu Jianshe found this information useful; the old lady was good at deceiving people. She hadn’t completely hidden her capabilities and had even told their father that she knew martial arts, so everyone had no reason to doubt her martial arts skills. But if it weren’t for Zhang Huishu, they wouldn’t have guessed her skills were so good.

Seeing them silent, Zhang Huishu began to panic, "What I said is true. She was just over fifty then, and she took down two giants in a few moves, really amazing."

Lu Jianshe nodded. "I believe you," he said, seemingly casually asking, "What is the relationship between the old lady and your lover’s father?"

This was something Ruisheng had mentioned. They hadn’t asked immediately because they didn’t want Zhang Huishu to be defensive and withhold the truth. Now that Zhang Huishu’s defenses were broken, it would be easier to ask anything.

Zhang Huishu was less resistant, "I just happened to see my lover’s father talking to the old lady in private. They only exchanged a few words. Later I asked my lover about it, and he said knowing too much isn’t good for me, and advised me not to inquire further. He really cares for me, and since I cuckolded the old lady’s son, it’s indeed better for me to stay out of some matters, so I didn’t ask further."

Lu Ruisheng asked, "What nationality is your lover?"

Zhang Huishu said, "East Asian. His father is East Asian, and his mother is Huaxia, he has Huaxia citizenship."

Gu Pan and the others now roughly knew a few things, first, the old lady was skilled in martial arts, and that skill level was perhaps professional. Second, the old lady knew Zhang Huishu’s lover’s father. Third, Zhang Huishu’s lover was a South Asian, and this man might have other relations with the old lady.

Zhang Huishu looked at them, "That’s really all I know, please. Can you just let me and Ruiming go? He won’t fight anymore, we don’t have the capability. Over the years, all I’ve done is seduce men, now I’m not that young and don’t have many ideas left. I just want to find an honest man with Ruiming and live a peaceful life."

Gu Pan smirked, tired of the game, seeking someone to take her and her big son, a shameless matter made to sound so noble by her?

Lu Jianshe said to Zhang Huishu, "We do indeed need to take Lu Ruiming to the main base this time. Once the matter is settled, he will return with the team."

Hearing this, Zhang Huishu vigorously shook her head, "No, no, Ruiming is reckless, impulsive, brainless. He will mess things up, will ruin your plans, better not let him trouble you. Otherwise, I’ll go with you, and you can have me do anything."

Gu Pan noticed that although Zhang Huishu was a bit off base, she truly cared for her son Lu Ruiming and understood him well.

She said, "Ruisheng and I are also going to the main base, and will return after a while. He will be with us throughout; even if not with us, being with the military convoy is very safe."

"But, but he can’t protect himself," Zhang Huishu was indeed worried.

Lu Ruisheng said, "As long as he follows the military, there won’t be any accidents. His leg still hasn’t healed, he doesn’t have the capability to run around."

Zhang Huishu was still uneasy, "But what if the old lady discovers something? Would she try to kill him?"

Lu Jianshe said, "No, what kind of place is the main base, what kind of place is the Lu Family? Is killing that casual? Besides, the old lady is old, and now it’s the apocalypse, how much of her skills can she still use?"

Zhang Huishu: "I know I’m not a good person, and I know Ruiming isn’t a good child. I realize my mistakes now. I beg you, let him come back alive. I will definitely discipline him well in the future."

She knew she couldn’t change anything, so she could only plead for them to let her son come back alive. If he could come back alive, she would definitely discipline him well, not letting him offend people recklessly anymore. If he hadn’t offended Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

Lu Jianshe nodded. "Okay."

After all, there were no deadly vendettas between them and Lu Ruiming, and this time they needed Lu Ruiming, so they were essentially using him.

Zhang Huishu could only agree, "If you need us to do anything, we’ll cooperate fully. I just hope to survive at No.7 Base with Ruiming in the future."

Lu Jianshe said, "As long as you don’t do anything you shouldn’t, that request is not hard to meet."

After they came to an agreement, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sent Zhang Huishu back.

Lu Jianshe also restored that empty house to its original state, then returned to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s home.

After Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng returned, the three sat in the living room and summarized again, refining those three points a bit more.

That evening, when Lu Jianguo came home, they also discussed the matter with him, and then waited to depart for the main base.

However, during the night, the quails that Gu Pan had been incubating also hatched. Throughout the night, intermittently until the next afternoon, all eight survived. This hatching rate was even higher than at the base, probably because they were brought out from the base and jostled during transport, while these were directly incubated after being taken out, resulting in more hatchlings.
