Min Rui's face froze. It was Gu Ling, and he knew that what Gu Ling said was true. Not to mention that Min Rui himself had a fatal problem, even if he was innocent and did not make any mistakes, Old Minister Min would not do anything to take the overall situation into consideration. It might offend Gu Ling. Even if Gu Ling wants Min Rui's life.

"What am I going to ask you next? Answer me honestly. I can consider sparing your life for your father's sake. Otherwise, I can kill you just because you want to kill Mr. Qin." Gu Ling said coldly.

Min Rui looked panicked, "You...what do you want to know?"

"About that island. Who is the owner of the island?" Gu Ling asked.

Min Rui suddenly remembered what Gu Ling said yesterday before he fell into coma, "Your father-in-law wants to kill you." Thinking of Mrs. Min who lied to him about coming back but left, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Gu Ling and said, "I'll tell everything I know." You, will you really let me go? I was arrested back then, and I have no control over what happens next."

Gu Ling nodded, "That depends on whether you can provide useful information."

"I believe in your character, and I believe you will not break your promise." Min Rui said this to Gu Ling, also to comfort himself. At this point, he has no other choice. Compromise to Gu Ling, and there is still hope to save his life. .As for his wife and daughter, he has no time to care about and can't count on them.

"That place is called Xingluo Island, and the owner of the island is named Mo Yan. He is about the same age as my father." Min Rui started talking and began to explain what he knew.

But as a live-in son-in-law and not liked by his father-in-law, Min Rui's status on the island is much lower than that of his daughter Min Rou, and he has no contact with Mo Yan.

The most important thing is that Min Rui doesn't know the location of the island, and he doesn't know anything about Mo Yan's portable space. "Mo Yan has a very powerful treasure. I don't know what it is, but my father-in-law He Wei He knows it, and he wants it, but he doesn't intend to kill Mo Yan, maybe because he can't."

Gu Ling thought that this should be the kind of portable space that Su Liang mentioned. It might not be an object that could change ownership. It might not exist after Mo Yan died.

"Why did you say you wanted to kill Su Liang?" Gu Ling asked.

Min Rui was stunned for a moment, and finally told a key piece of information, "It's because of her appearance. When He Qianqian saw Su Liang for the first time that day, she told her father that she must kill Su Liang because Su Liang Liang looks a lot like Mo Yan’s daughter, and if Mo Yan is allowed to see her, they may not get what they want.”

Gu Ling stared, was there such a thing? Shen Qingxue followed Mo Yan back then?

"I have never seen Mo Yan's daughter. When I went to the island, she was no longer there, and she seemed to be a taboo. No one on the island was allowed to mention her, which led me to think that Mo Yan was never married and had no children. "Min Rui continued.

In the end, Min Rui began to talk miserably, telling how he was arrested back then and how he had been looked down upon by the He family over the years. He also said that his desire to kill Mr. Qin was just an impulse and was bewitched by Mrs. Min. He regrets it now.

Gu Ling took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured two pills out of it, held Min Rui's chin, and stuffed it into his mouth with his frightened eyes.

Min Rui soon became stiff and developed symptoms similar to those of a stroke. He could open his mouth but could no longer speak clearly.

Then Gu Ling pulled Min Rui up from the ground, put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, turned around and left.

I won't kill Min Rui for the time being, just because I don't want He Wei to notice something is wrong, but it doesn't mean I'll let him go.

…

When Gu Ling returned home, his two young apprentices were doing morning exercises.

Gu Ling completely ignored Ji Xiaoshu's enthusiastic call across the lake and returned directly to Yuanming Pavilion.

"Elder brother, Master seems to be in a bad mood, and he didn't even come to beat me!" Ji Xiaoshu shared his findings.

Zheng'er was speechless, so Gu Ling beating him up meant he was in a good mood? Although that was almost the case, it still felt weird...

When Gu Ling went upstairs and saw Su Liang, she had just fed Gu Xiaonuan.

The couple looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were bloodshot.

"Wash up, have breakfast, and then take a nap." Su Liang said and put Gu Xiaonuan back into the cradle.

Gu Xiaonuan saw Gu Ling and stretched out her little hands, babbling for a hug.

But Gu Ling opened his arms and hugged Su Liang into his arms.

"Master, you've been working hard lately." Su Liang patted Gu Ling's back gently.

"It's okay." Gu Ling sighed slightly, "I just miss you so much."

Su Liang chuckled, "We have been separated for less than a day. Be good, wash your hands and go eat. Min Rou told you a lot of important things yesterday, I will tell you later."

Gu Ling let go of Su Liang, "Let's talk now. Min Rui also confessed, but he doesn't know much."

Then Su Liang took out yesterday's drawing and showed it to Gu Ling, and the two exchanged the information they had obtained.

Su Liang originally thought that the information she learned from Min Rou completely covered what Min Rui knew, until she heard Gu Ling talk about the reasons why He Wei and his daughter wanted to kill her.

Su Liang was stunned immediately, "Maybe I am Mo Yan and Shen Qingxue's...granddaughter?"
