Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 590 - 508: Stop Coveting Other People’s Things (Third Update)_3

Nancy was taken aback, struggling to shift her gaze from Tong Airui to the face of the Haotian Queen. "Mother, what did you say?"

The Haotian Queen frowned and said, "Nancy, stop yearning for things that belong to others. Go rest early!"

"Oh." Nancy’s face was filled with displeasure as she returned to her room.

The Haotian Queen shook her head helplessly and quickly walked into Tong Airui’s study.

Tong Airui said in a deep voice, "I just received a call. Kai Di has entered Jinniu Mountain. The Haotian Emperor’s men and my people have already surrounded the mountain."

The Haotian Queen looked at Tong Airui in disbelief. "She entered Jinniu Mountain!?"

Tong Airui saw her reaction and knew he’d guessed correctly. "Does she know that you hid shenghua weapons there?"

"That’s impossible. Almost everyone who knew about it has been executed..."

"You said ’almost.’ There’s someone who escaped, isn’t there? Do you realize the consequences if Kai Di ends up using those weapons? Not only will Haotian vanish, but both Xiama and Beidi will suffer as well."

Tong Airui looked at the Haotian Queen. "Someone as intelligent as you must have prepared an emergency strategy. So, for the sake of these neighboring countries and for your people, please activate your emergency plan immediately."

"I’ll return at once!"

"I’ll send someone to escort you." Tong Airui paused. "Can you take your daughter with you as well?"

The Haotian Queen was startled. "You figured it out?"

Tong Airui smiled faintly. "If you noticed, of course I did too. I know it’s impolite for me to make such a request, but I don’t want anyone to harm my wife. When it comes to defending my family, my methods are extreme—either death or injury..."

"Don’t worry. With me there, she won’t do anything foolish." The Haotian Queen felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart, but at the same time, she admired Tong Airui’s unwavering loyalty to his wife. He wouldn’t even give other women the slightest chance and made sure to extinguish any budding issues before they could grow.

Nancy sat sulking on the sofa when the Haotian Queen pushed the door open and walked in. Upon hearing that her mother was taking her back, Nancy’s face immediately darkened.

"We’ve only just arrived—why do we have to leave already?"

"There’s an urgent matter I need to handle back home. Come back with me. I can’t be without you."

"Mom, I can’t be without you either, but I just got to Xiama and promised Danton I’d go out with him tomorrow. Leaving like this doesn’t seem right, does it?"

"Pack your things. I’ll go call Danton. Both of you are coming back with me." The Haotian Queen gave her daughter a deep look before turning and walking out.

Danton was on the phone with someone when his mother hurriedly walked in. He whispered, "Seventh Aunt is asking about my condition. Please wait a moment."

The Haotian Queen frowned slightly. Danton’s poisoning still depended on this Seventh Aunt’s help. Taking him away now could very well delay his treatment.

"Your sister and I are heading back to Beidi. You stay here."

Danton let out a long sigh of relief and said into the phone, "Seventh Aunt, something came up on my end. Can I call you back later?"

"I’ve asked enough. Go handle your matters." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

After politely bidding Jian Daimeng goodnight and hanging up the phone, Danton looked at his mother. "Mother, what’s happened? Why are you in such a rush to leave?"

"It’s grown-up business—don’t ask. Stay here and make sure you don’t cause anyone any trouble." The Haotian Queen gently patted her son’s cheek. "Mom is leaving, so you must take good care of yourself. Your cousin Luo Wa is a poor child. Be closer to her when you can. Cheer her up and make her smile more."
