"What new discovery?"

Ling Shu was already lying down, and when he heard his last words, he sat up again.

Yue Dingtang didn't talk nonsense, and took out a gun and a few bullets directly from the kraft paper bag.

As the matter developed to the present, not only Ling Shu was involved, but it was impossible for him to stay out of it.

The other party made it clear that they didn't want them to find out any clues, but since the other party failed to kill him tonight, this move has been invalidated, but it made them affirm the direction of their investigation.

"The gun and the bullet were dropped by each other."

Ling Shu took the gun.

"M1906, commonly known as Palm Thunder, is light and compact, and easy to carry. As far as I know, important officers in Nanjing, and even some ladies in self-defense, also like to use this pistol. Nowadays, the purchase channels are mainly imported from foreign banks, although the price is expensive. A little, but easy to buy, no problem.”

Yue Ding Tang raised his chin slightly. "Take a closer look."

He said so, there must be something to discover. Ling Shu got serious, picked up a few bullets, looked at them one by one, put them down, picked up the gun again, and frowned after a while.

"what is this?"

The gun itself is intact, maybe not used a few times, at least 90% new.

However, Ling Shu found that there was some sticky black powder on the trigger.

He used his fingernails to dig a little, dig a little, put it under his nose and smell it, the color changed slightly.

Ling Shu looked at Yue Dingtang, who nodded.

"It turned out to be a public class soil."

When they searched Du Yuning's room before, they accidentally found smudges of smoke and soil under her bed.

It is this kind of public land.

"Too many coincidences are inevitable. Can I think that the two people who attacked us tonight are probably the ones who lured Du Yuning to smoke?"

Yue Dingtang said: "Du Yunning once hated Da Yan, because her grandfather and father were addicted to smoking, and her grandfather died tragically because of this. She herself is also a new woman who has gone to school. Under normal circumstances, she would never touch it. these things."

Ling Shu naturally continued: "After marriage, Yuan Bing may have been infatuated with her beauty at first, but the good times didn't last long, everyone in Shanghai knew that Yuan Bing and Yuan Da Shao liked to take dancers out to play, and they kept a few outside. As a lady, even if Du Yunning wears gold and silver, and does not worry about food and clothing, she is definitely not happy in her heart. The more she indulges in those splendor and wealth, the emptier her heart will become. Under the temptation of Hong Xiaoguang, she starts smoking a lot, which is understandable. "

Yue Dingtang: "So far we don't know what Hong Xiaoguang's group is trying to do with the Yuan family, but if he can completely control Du Yunning, it will not be difficult for them to achieve their goals."

Ling Shu: "Why didn't they start with Yuan Bing? This person has a weak personality and is greedy for beauty. Isn't it better to capture him? And as the owner of the Yuan family, Du Yunning who he knows may know, but what he doesn't know, Du Yunning must also be do not know."

Yue Dingtang: "How do you know they haven't tried it?"

As soon as the words fell, both of them were startled.

Looking at each other, they seemed to think of something important.

At this moment there was a knock on the door.

The two had to temporarily interrupt the conversation.

Yue Dingtang put away the bullets and guns.

"Please come in."

It was Yue Chunxiao who pushed in the door.

She was carrying a bag and a basket in her hand, followed by a maid who carried a lunch box in both hands.

"Are you all right? I brought you something to eat."

She put down the fruit basket and swept her gaze over Yue Dingtang's body, making sure that there was nothing serious about him except for the trauma, and finally stopped her gaze on Ling Shu.

"Are you Ling Shu? Do you remember me?"

Ling Shu smiled and said, "Sister Chunxiao, why don't you remember? Du Yuning and I went to Yue's house as a guest, and you even cooked and made snacks for us. At that time, I even praised you with Yue Dingtang."

His head and neck were wrapped in gauze, and he was wearing a hospital gown, but he smiled softly, like a harmless little animal, which was especially pitiful.

Yue Chunxiao had always liked him, but when he saw the real person, he found that he was even more beautiful than he remembered.

"How did you get hurt like this! What did the doctor say? I don't think this hospital is very good, or I'll find someone to change it for you!"

She stepped forward to check Ling Shu's injury, and the more she looked, the more distressed she became.

"It's all right, and I injured my head. How can I leave scars in the future? Are you dizzy now and can you move?"

"It's alright, Sister Chunxiao, I just hit the back of the head, but my forehead wasn't hurt."

"That's even more incredible! The head thing is not a joke, it's not the same as breaking a limb. My sister brought you something to eat and drink. There are Chinese and Western food, but it took some time to come here. The taste may be different from the one just out of the oven, you can open it and see what you like to eat!"

Yue Dingtang was speechless when he saw the two of them talking and laughing.

What I don't know is that they are two brothers and sisters, and I picked it up on the roadside.

"Did you two forget that I am alive?"

Yue Chunxiao glanced back at him.

"You're fine, isn't it just a little injury to your arm, just take care of it. Ling Shu's injury is his head, so he needs to make up for it, or what if something goes wrong in the future?"

Yue Dingtang: …

Yue Chunxiao was puzzled: "I don't know yet, how did you guys get hurt? Why are you all hospitalized, and the person who went to the house to report the letter couldn't explain it clearly. I thought you were in a car accident!"

Ling Shu: "Lao Yue's arm was wounded by a gunshot, but fortunately it missed, it was just a scratch."

Yue Chunxiao's expression changed. First, he looked at Yue Dingtang carefully, and after confirming that he was indeed okay, he turned to Ling Shu again and took a deep breath.

"Then you are also shot wounded?"

Ling Shu said obediently: "At that time, Yue Dingtang was trapped by a gunman outside. I rushed out to save him and got a sap, it's not a big problem."

Yue Dingtang: …

He felt that the causal relationship of Ling Shu's words was reversed, but the other party did save his life, there was no doubt about that.

If it wasn't for Ling Shu's kick at that time, now he would be lying in the morgue facing the tears of the third sister.

When Yue Chunxiao heard this, she was shocked.

"Why are there gunmen again? What the hell is going on here, who did you get into, or I'll make a telegram with my eldest brother and second brother, and tell them to come back quickly!"

Yue Dingtang said solemnly: "We can solve it ourselves, there is no need to worry about the eldest brother and the second brother."

Yue Chunxiao met his eyes, was silent for a moment, and when she looked at Ling Shu again, her face was distressed again.

"Good boy, you are Dingtang's savior, and from now on you will also be our Yue family's savior. I used to treat you as a younger brother, so don't talk to me in the future, just say anything. Come and see what my sister brought you to eat!"

She asked the servants who came with her to open the food boxes one by one.

The aroma of steamed pork and sweet and sour fish came out first and took over the whole room, while the ginseng chicken soup slowly followed in an orderly manner.

Although Ling Shu had just finished drinking the chicken soup that Ling Yao sent, it did not prevent him from moving his index finger when he saw the sweet and sour fish.

Yue Chunxiao laughed when he saw it, and hurriedly took out his chopsticks and shoved them at him.

"The best time for sweet and sour fish is when it is just out of the oven. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, sweet and sour. After a long time, the meringue will become soft, and the sweet and sour sauce will be sticky, and it will lose its taste."

Yue Dingtang prefers the pig's trotters.

The stew was soft and rotten, the bones were all removed, and the vinaigrette made from the soy sauce was wrapped around the pig's skin, reflecting the crystal luster.

Meat is not simply fat, it can be called real hoof meat when it is fat and thin and melts in your mouth.

With this stewed pig's trotter, Yue Dingtang can finish a bowl of rice.

Not long after the two started eating, Ling Yao came back with a bag of oranges in his hand.

Yue Chunxiao just turned around, the two sides met each other, and Ling Yao's smile froze on his face.

Yue Dingtang had heard the complaints of his third sister at home, and he was afraid that she would be ridiculed when she said it. Just as she was about to make a round, Yue Chunxiao had already spoken.

"You came to see Ling Shu."

Attitude is quite peaceful.

Ling Yao snorted, nodding in greeting, and seeing Ling Shu eating sweet and sour fish with chopsticks with relish, his smile disappeared immediately.

Ling Shu hurriedly put down his chopsticks and curtly said, "Sister, you're finally back, I've been waiting for your oranges until my neck grows!"

Ling Yao raised his eyebrows: "You are already eating fish, can you still eat oranges? You just hit your head, and you want to eat your stomach too?"

Ling Shu: "How can I, I just love to eat the oranges you bought!"

Ling Yao said coldly, "I brought the oranges back, drink more boiled water."

Yue Chunxiao couldn't stand it any longer.

"Why are you mad at the child! He's already hurt like this, so he shouldn't eat more good tonics? What oranges do you eat in the winter, how can people eat these cold ones, why don't you buy canned oranges! You yourself If you can't afford it, you can't let Ling Shu suffer with you!"

Ling Yao said angrily: "This is my brother, not your brother, what's your business!"

Ling Shu: "...Sister, Sister Chunxiao, I asked me to buy the oranges, it's my fault, don't get angry."

Yue Chunxiao: "Look at how sensible the child is! He is not my younger brother, but I treat him as a younger brother, and I feel sorry for him. What else would you do besides scold him and scold him all day long?"

Ling Yao: "That's better than you! Since I was in school, I liked to show off the flowers, like a cuckoo, chatting here and there all day long, don't think I don't know, you are always the one who speaks ill of me behind my back. !"

Yue Chunxiao: "I said bad things about you? You don't want to inquire about it yourself. Who among the female classmates looked good to you when you were in school, why do you need me to say it behind your back? You wear a set of clothes every day, which is more expensive than flowers and butterflies. Are you embarrassed to say that I am flamboyant?!"

Yue Ding Tang supported his forehead.

With a lotus-like tongue, he was never short of words on the podium, and he couldn't get into his mouth at this moment.

—I finally understand what is meant by a woman's war without others being present.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ling Shu.

The latter was already lying on the bed with the quilt covered so high, with a look of "I'm sleeping, please don't disturb".

Yue Dingtang: …

In a hurry, he hurried to Ling Shu's bedside.

"Ling Shu, what's wrong with you, wake up!"

The two women immediately shut their mouths, followed the prestige and looked nervous.

"Little brother, are you alright!"

"Quick, call the doctor!"

The doctor came quickly, followed by the nurse.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ling Shu held his head, weak and pale, pitiful and helpless.

"I don't know, but I feel dizzy and I can't even sit on the bed, so I can only lie down."

From an unnoticed point of view, Yue Dingtang gave Ling Shu a thumbs up for his acting skills.

Ling Shu felt that it was too difficult for him.
