Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 648 - 550: A Son-in-law is Half a Son (Second Update)

Chapter 648: Chapter 550: A Son-in-law is Half a Son (Second Update)

"Sangyu, let’s tell Mommy: Mommy’s not angry anymore." Tong Airui walked in from outside holding his daughter, teaching her as he entered.

Yi Luowa froze, "Why didn’t you even knock on the door..."

The Empress Haotian glanced at her, "The door wasn’t closed, how can Airui knock?"

"Exactly, how can I knock?" Tong Airui chuckled, lifting his daughter’s tiny hand to gently tap his wife’s shoulder, "Don’t be mad, I already called someone. When you get back later, the shower will be cleaned up."

"If I were really angry, you’d drive me to madness." Yi Luowa pouted, washing her face quickly. Tong Airui hurriedly grabbed a towel and stood by her, handing it over as soon as she finished.

Sangyu clutched the other end of the towel tightly. Every time her mother wiped her face, she tugged the towel back toward herself.

Yi Luowa smiled and tucked the towel into her daughter’s grasp, "You little troublemaker!"

"Hehehe..." Sangyu held the towel tightly against her chest.

Yi Luowa reached over and took her from Tong Airui’s arms, "Where’s your brother? You came here by yourself to Grandma’s place, won’t your brother come looking for you?"

Sangyu was too preoccupied with the towel to respond. She kept her head down, pouting as she pulled at the towel playfully.

The Empress Haotian looked at her granddaughter lovingly and started taking her skincare products one by one. "Luowa, give Sangyu to me—it’s your turn to clean your face."

"Mom, she doesn’t need these." Tong Airui chuckled helplessly.

"Women, at your age, can still get away with it. But once you’re past twenty-five, you need to start taking care of yourself. Otherwise, aging comes quickly."

The Empress Haotian opened a bottle of hydrating serum and began applying it to her daughter’s face. Yi Luowa pouted, "My mother-in-law doesn’t use these either, but look at her skin—it’s still great."

Sangyu craned her neck to watch as her grandmother applied the serum to her mother’s face.

The Empress Haotian chuckled and said, "Your mother-in-law is nourished by love—always eighteen at heart."

"Haha... I like hearing that." Tong Yao walked in cradling Ziyang, "This one cried for his sister as soon as he finished washing his face."

Ziyang spotted his sister and joyfully shouted out.

Sangyu quickly turned her head to look at her brother.

The two little ones began babbling at each other. Tong Yao laughed, "Zhi Lan, I heard Long Che say Randy is back home. Has he called you?"

"He did. He called me as soon as he got home," Yi Luowa replied. "I just talked about it with Tong Airui. It’s all thanks to him that Randy got home safely this time."

"A son-in-law is half a son, don’t keep mentioning him every time," Tong Yao teased, "Long Che has to work today, so I’ll accompany you to the hospital later. Let’s eat an early dinner today."

"No need for so many people to go. You can stay home and look after the kids," the Empress Haotian said as she opened another bottle of cosmetics.

Tong Yao laughed, "Don’t keep putting all those things on Luowa’s face. As soon as you turn around, she’ll wash them off."

The Empress Haotian glanced at her daughter, sighed, and reluctantly put the cosmetics away. "Did her seventh aunt say when she’d arrive?"

"That impatient one said she wouldn’t come here but would head straight to the hospital."

"Then let’s head downstairs. I’ll call Danton over."

"I’m already up." Danton walked in yawning, "Good morning, Aunt Tong Yao."

"Good morning," Tong Yao replied with a smile as she looked at Danton.

Danton rubbed his eyes, "Mom, good morning! Sis, good morning! Brother-in-law, good morning! Mom, is Dad home yet?"

"He’s home,"

"Good, it’s a relief he’s home." Danton gently bumped his forehead against Ziyang before turning to pat Sangyu’s little head, "Now that Grandpa’s home, Uncle won’t have insomnia anymore."

Ziyang leaned forward, hoping Uncle would bump him again.

Danton chuckled and gently bumped him again, "What are you, a little masochist?"

"Hehehe..." Ziyang laughed and grabbed at his uncle’s hair.

Yi Luowa quickly pulled her son’s hand away, "Ziyang is a good boy; we don’t pull Uncle’s hair."

"Let’s go eat breakfast first," Tong Airui said as he carried his son out of his mother’s arms, "Once we’re done, we’ll set off early."

The group headed downstairs, had breakfast, and then took the family RV to the hospital.

Jian Daimeng was already waiting at the entrance, and after greeting everyone, they all headed up to the third floor.

"Danton, are you nervous?" Jian Daimeng smiled and put an arm around Danton’s shoulders.

Danton smiled and shook his head, "With you here, there’s nothing to be afraid of!"

Jian Daimeng smiled and patted his shoulder, "You’re right; with your seventh aunt here, nothing can go wrong. They’ll do an EKG for you first, then we can proceed."

"Okay, I’ll follow whatever Aunt says."

"You’ll need to stay in the hospital for three days, with frequent blood tests. I’ll adjust the medication based on the results..."

After explaining all the precautions, Jian Daimeng had Mai Zekai take Danton to get his EKG done first.

As Danton left, Tong Yao quietly asked, "Daimeng, is there any risk involved?"

"As long as we control the dosage, there shouldn’t be any issues."

"Then I’ll leave it entirely to you."

"Don’t worry; I’ve been dealing with toxins for so many years. You can trust me to handle Danton."

The Empress Haotian came over and took Jian Daimeng’s hand, thanking her profusely to the point where Jian Daimeng felt a bit awkward.

Luckily, Danton and Mai Zekai returned shortly after. Jian Daimeng quickly walked over, "How’s his heart?"

Mai Zekai replied casually, "All good, you can proceed."

Jian Daimeng and Danton entered the intensive monitoring room, followed by Jimo Shanshan, who hooked Danton up to all the monitoring devices.

The family stood outside the viewing window. The Empress Haotian gazed at her son lying on the bed, unable to hold back her tears.

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and tightly embraced her hand, "Mom, don’t worry. Danton will be fine."

The Empress Haotian sniffled, "I’m not worried about him being in danger; it just reminded me of the past. Back then, Danton would have critical episodes every few days, and each time he was like this—hooked up to all kinds of machines."

"Things will get better from now on." Yi Luowa hugged her mother tightly.

An hour passed, then two hours, then two and a half hours later, Jian Daimeng emerged with a smile on her face.

Everyone quickly gathered around.

Jian Daimeng smiled and said, "The first step is complete. In twelve hours, we’ll test his blood again to check the remaining toxins, and then I’ll adjust the medication. Hopefully, we can completely eliminate the toxins within three days."

Tong Airui asked with concern, "Seventh Aunt, how’s Danton’s physical condition? Will he be able to endure the detoxification over these three days?"

"Shanshan is monitoring all the indicators. She says Danton is doing great—all his readings are normal. However, after these three days, his body will be so weak that he’ll need at least ten to fifteen days to recover. He might not even be able to get out of bed during that time."

Tong Yao quickly said, "I’ll arrange a room for him downstairs when we return."

The Empress Haotian looked gratefully at her in-laws.

Jian Daimeng smiled and said, "You can go in and see Danton now, but don’t stay too long."

The Empress Haotian hurriedly took her daughter’s hand and entered the monitoring room first. Danton made a victory sign at his mother and sister.

Everyone took turns entering the room. Seeing that Danton was indeed fine, they gradually felt reassured and left the room.

While Danton underwent detoxification here, Emperor Haotian was busy on his end. Returning home, he intensified investigations, conducting a nationwide sweep.

Many suspects were apprehended, and numerous underground tunnels were sealed off. Emperor Haotian glared at a sprawling network of underground passages, so frustrated he nearly overturned his desk.

If these tunnels were discovered by enemies, the consequences would be unimaginable!

After sealing off the tunnels, he started screening suspicious individuals. Among them were people connected to Du Ma, Kai Di, and Xia Rou.

Under severe interrogation, those with weaker wills exposed deeper hidden operatives.

The deeper Emperor Haotian dug, the colder his heart grew, primarily because these infiltrators had burrowed themselves so deeply—some even in significant departments. Of course, he understood that many innocent people might falsely be implicated. To address this, Emperor Haotian established a task force, personally serving as its leader, with Yuan Hang as vice leader.

Dealing with such matters, outsiders can often act more fairly. Moreover, he trusted Yuan Hang, who was his son-in-law’s most capable assistant.

Meanwhile, the Empress Haotian supported her son through treatment while occasionally helping Emperor Haotian with his work. Over these few days, her mood steadily improved—the toxins in her son were finally being cleared, and the remaining traitors at home were gradually being captured. Looking ahead, the family could finally live peacefully together.

One joyful event followed another. Just as Danton was able to walk again, news arrived from Muta—a wedding invitation for Bert and Dean, set for January 10th.

After some discussion with her daughter and husband, the Empress Haotian decided to postpone her return and attend Bert and Dean’s wedding first.

Over the years, this would be the Empress Haotian’s first time attending such an occasion. For this event, she and her daughter would appear together in the public eye, stunning the world.
