The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 367 - 366

Ling Chengyan answered the phone, quickly put on her padded coat, hung up the receiver, put on her hat and padded pants, and headed out.

Wang Liansheng hadn’t yet put on his padded clothes when he heard the door, and Ling Chengyan was already out. He could only shake his head with a wry smile and quickened his pace.

Ling the old man was also alert. Ling Chengyan reacted quickly, and he couldn’t catch up. He threw on his clothes and got out of bed, just in time to stop Wang Liansheng, who was dressed and heading out.

"What happened?" The old man asked in one sentence, followed by a cough.

Wang Liansheng had already pushed the door open, but hurriedly turned back to help the old man back into the room, comforting him, "It’s nothing, maybe something with Chengyan’s team, a night assembly or something, they do it every now and then. We’re used to it, don’t worry, take a rest."

The old man looked at his son-in-law suspiciously, but then thought that his daughter, who had become a special training team captain, had a combat capability beyond ordinary people, and figured his relatively weak son-in-law was no match.

Thinking this way, the old man’s face softened a bit, and he followed his son-in-law’s suggestion to return to his room and lie down again.

Wang Liansheng poured him half a cup of warm water, brought some cough medicine, watched him take it, and helped him back to bed before heading out.

Because of the delay, Ling Chengyan had already returned with Ling Family’s second brother, Xiangwu.

Wang Liansheng turned on the light at the front door, seeing Ling Chengyan and Ling Er coming towards him, and Ling Family’s second brother’s face bruised and alarming.

"Second brother, what’s this?" Wang Liansheng stepped forward, opened the door to let the sibling in, whispering, "The old man woke up, I just lulled him back to bed..."

Ling Xiangwu instinctively flinched and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Afraid it’s hard to hide."

As they spoke, the three arrived at the door, and Wang Liansheng quickly opened it and invited the second brother-in-law inside. Then, he heard him call out, "Dad!"

Wang Liansheng saw that the old man he had just helped lay down was already fully clothed, sitting in the living room.

Ling Chengyan quickly stepped inside, turning on the room’s electric heater and placing a coat on the old man, "Why are you up? It’s cold with the heat off at midnight, you might catch a cold."

"Cough, cough, I’m fine, don’t fuss." The old man waved his hand, stopping his daughter’s concern, and looked back at his second son, his face less stern, "What happened?"

"Ran into robbers." Ling Er answered forthrightly, directly giving the answer.

The old man’s eyes sharpened, then softened slightly, asked, "Everyone okay?"

Ling Er shook his head, "Everyone’s back, just some goods were taken."

Despite the words, Ling Chengyan and Wang Liansheng saw the injuries on Ling Xiangwu’s face and knew that although everyone returned, they were likely injured. As for the extent of injuries... they couldn’t guess.

Sure enough, the old man was astute, his eyes turned to his second son, directly asking, "How many hurt?"

Clearly, Ling Family’s old man held great authority in the hearts of Ling Family brothers. Facing their father, Ling Er’s posture was obedient.

The old man sat on the sofa, Ling Er sat on a small stool opposite, knees together, hands on knees, as upright as a student facing a teacher.

"All, all injured, but only one with a serious leg injury, already sent to hospital, fractured, slightly dislocated, hospitalized first, surgery planned for tomorrow or the day after. Others are less hurt... even lighter than mine."

After hearing this, the old man’s face seemed to soften, nodding slightly with approval, "Hmm, when there’s trouble, don’t shrink back."

Ling Xiangwu quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing her father ask with concern, Ling Chengyan finally spoke, "Where was it? How many? Do you know who?"

From the unexpected midnight visit by Ling Er, and seeing him safe and hearing everyone returned unharmed, Ling Chengyan started contemplating the incident’s cause and effect...

If it were common roadside bandits, reporting to the police is enough.

If not... after all, in both ancient and modern times, doing delivery involves paving paths. These paths, involve local despots with interests, competitors with similar businesses... of course, it might also concern people who were offended, hiring thugs for troubles...

Hearing Ling Chengyan ask, the old man’s gaze refocused on his second son.

Facing the serious looks from both father and sister, Ling Xiangwu felt immense pressure but helplessly shook his head, "I didn’t offend anyone. The road’s unfamiliar as the bridge we usually cross cracked from freezing, so we took a detour..."

Ling Chengyan glanced at the old man, "If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem targeted."

The old man pondered, nodded slowly, squinted, "Hmm, since they’re back, no rush. First treat injuries, then discuss with the client about compensation or replenishing."

Wang Liansheng came in from outside holding a pot, smiling, "Second brother must be cold? Perfect, I made lamb bone soup last night, put some noodles in, drink a bowl while hot to warm up."

He asked his father-in-law and wife, both shook their heads, so Ling Chengyan escorted the old man to rest.

When Ling Chengyan came out, she saw Wang Liansheng also serving a bowl of soup, accompanying the second brother to eat and chat.

Smiling and shaking her head, she entered Shi Tou’s room, bundled her son in blankets, carrying him to her room, laid new bedding.

Coming out, the brothers had finished eating, Wang Liansheng was arranging for Ling Er to wash his face, seeing his wife, he smiled, "You go sleep first, I found our medicated oil, will rub it on second brother."

Ling Chengyan agreed, but leaned in to examine second brother’s eyes, ensuring they’re just swollen shut from blood congestion, the eyeballs and vision okay, she finally felt at ease, returned to sleep.

The next morning at breakfast, Xiao Xing and Shi Tou were surprised to see second uncle suddenly at home.

Second uncle’s bruises intrigued the children, Xiao Xing being older didn’t ask directly, but Shi Tou, acting more mature, secretly tugged at Ling Chengyan and asked, "Second uncle fought someone, right?"

Ling Chengyan curiously raised her eyebrow, "You know about fighting? You fought someone?"

Shi Tou, somewhat disdainful, held his head high, "Those people... not worthy!"

An attitude of: all weaklings, not worth my effort!

Ling Chengyan burst into laughter, ruffled the little one’s head, and lightly patted him, "Alright, don’t show off—a bottle not full makes noise!"
