The task of giving Nangong Yue a knockout drug was assigned to Luo Tianshui. Long Xiao did not dare to drug his mother-in-law in front of Lin Xuan, as it would leave her with psychological trauma.
Luo Tianshui did not have any knockout drugs on hand and had to make them.
Long Xiao stared at Nangong Yue, afraid she would escape, while Luo Tianshui went to ask the chief and old shaman of the Divine Witch tribe for herbs.
Seeing Nangong Yue turned into a monster, Lin Xuan felt a pang of sadness and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Wife, don't be sad. We'll definitely find a way to help Mom recover in the future," Long Xiao said, putting an arm around Lin Xuan's shoulder.
Feeling Long Xiao's warm chest, Lin Xuan leaned against him and wept.
Long Xiao patted Lin Xuan's back, intending to comfort her a few words, when Nangong Yue suddenly shouted, "Long Xiao, you useless piece of trash, don't take advantage of my daughter."
Hearing Nangong Yue's shout, Lin Xuan's head snapped up, and she said happily, "Mom, you recognize me?"
Nangong Yue jumped down from the roof of the car and said, "Lin Xuan, what's wrong with you? How could I not recognize you?"
As Lin Xuan moved closer to Nangong Yue, Long Xiao pulled her back, saying, "Don't go over there, it's dangerous."
Nangong Yue glared at Long Xiao with fierce eyes and said, "You useless trash, how dare you meddle in our Lin family's affairs. I'm her mother, how could she be in danger by coming to me?"
Lin Xuan also said, "Long Xiao, there's no danger. My mom wouldn't hurt me."
Lin Xuan tried to break free from Long Xiao's grasp. Long Xiao said, "Lin Xuan, Mom has been modified. Her thoughts change very quickly, and she might not recognize you at any moment."
Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Yue hesitantly, unsure whether to go over.
Nangong Yue's eyes were filled with tenderness, completely different from her previous demeanor. She seemed like a changed person.
"Lin Xuan, don't listen to that good-for-nothing. I am your biological mother, how could I harm you," Nangong Yue said softly.
Lin Xuan's heart softened. She broke free from Long Xiao's hand and ran over.
As soon as Lin Xuan reached Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue reached for her neck.
Long Xiao had been watching Nangong Yue vigilantly. The moment she made her move, Long Xiao lunged forward.
Nangong Yue grabbed at empty air, and Long Xiao pulled Lin Xuan aside.
"Long Xiao, what are you doing?" Nangong Yue shouted, displeased.
"Long Xiao, why did you pull me over?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Wife, Mom was just trying to grab your neck," Long Xiao defended himself.
Nangong Yue laughed a few times and said, "Long Xiao, even if you're making up stories, be more convincing. How could I possibly grab my daughter's neck?"
Long Xiao also said, "Long Xiao, you're being overly worried. Mom would definitely not grab me by the neck."
Lin Xuan was about to approach Nangong Yue again when Luo Tianshui walked over with a box of powder.
"Brother Long, the medicine is ready."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Let's do it."
Lin Xuan stepped forward and said, "Tianshui, don't do anything yet. My mom recognized me. She should be awake."
Luo Tianshui shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, your mother is not awake. She has multiple personalities and might not recognize you at any moment."
"Multiple personalities? That's impossible."
Seeing Lin Xuan's disbelief, Long Xiao said, "How is it impossible? Mom was found in a Japanese laboratory. Everyone else with her has turned into monsters."
Lin Xuan looked at her mother, unwilling to believe she had become a monster. But the facts were before her, and she couldn't deny them.
Grief overwhelmed her, and Lin Xuan began to sob.
Long Xiao quickly stepped forward to comfort her, assuring Lin Xuan that he would find a way to cure Nangong Yue.
Lin Xuan looked at Long Xiao with teary eyes and asked, "Can you really cure Mom?"
Long Xiao nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes. No matter how difficult the illness, there's always a way to cure it. If it can't be cured, it's just that the method hasn't been found yet."
As Long Xiao embraced Lin Xuan to comfort her, Nangong Yue, filled with rage, shouted loudly, "Let go of my daughter, you useless thing."
Nangong Yue's fist whistled through the air. Long Xiao, startled, pulled Lin Xuan away to dodge.
Nangong Yue's speed was astonishingly fast. Both Xiao Ming and Luo Tianshui were shocked, as this was the maximum speed they could achieve.
Long Xiao dragged Lin Xuan as they evaded Nangong Yue's attacks. Soon, he realized that Lin Xuan's speed was too slow when being dragged, and they couldn't dodge effectively. Long Xiao had no choice but to pick Lin Xuan up and dodge.
Xiao Ming and Luo Tianshui pursued from behind, each with half a portion of the powder. As they caught up to Nangong Yue, they sprinkled some of the powder at her.
After two minutes of pursuit, Nangong Yue was not yet subdued, but the people from the tribe were knocked out by the two of them.
Seeing that the powder would be used up without incapacitating Nangong Yue, Long Xiao put Lin Xuan down and kicked Nangong Yue.
"Long Xiao, how could you fight with my mother?"
"Long Xiao, you useless piece of trash, how dare you kick me."
Both Lin Xuan and Nangong Yue shouted out, both expressing extreme displeasure at Long Xiao's actions.
Just as Nangong Yue was kicked down by Long Xiao, Xiao Ming and Luo Tianshui also sprinkled the powder they held towards Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue was successfully knocked out. Everyone looked at Nangong Yue lying motionless on the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to the large number of Chinese people rescued from the Divine Witch tribe, and Long Xiao and his companions having lost two vehicles, they couldn't take everyone with them at once.
Long Xiao gave Cray an SUV and asked him to return to get more vehicles to pick up the people. He, along with the others, loaded Nangong Yue into a car and rushed back to Dakhan City.
After finding a place to stay, Long Xiao and his group rested for a day. When Cray arrived with the vehicles, they bought plane tickets for everyone to return to China.
Cray had been helping Long Xiao tirelessly. As Long Xiao and his group prepared to leave, he took Cray to a bank and withdrew one million cash to give to him.
Staring at the piles of cash in front of him, Cray was stunned. He never expected Long Xiao to actually give him money, and in cash at that.
"With so much money, I can't even carry it all at once," Cray said, looking at the cash with great joy.
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "You can deal with it however you see fit. I'll wait for you outside for half an hour. After you're done, drive us to the airport."
The group traveled to the airport by car. The two SUVs that Long Xiao had acquired were also given to Cray.
In the airport lounge, as Cray bid farewell to Long Xiao, someone delivered a batch of local specialties that Cray had ordered.
Cray watched them board the plane. Everything seemed to have ended perfectly, yet Long Xiao felt a sense of unease.
Traveling to Indonesia was too dangerous. Despite frequent incidents, people still flocked there for tourism.
The plane landed in Donghai, where those who had received the news were already waiting at the airport. This group included officials from Donghai, families of the rescued individuals, and various influencers seeking to gain popularity.
Looking at the crowd at the airport, Long Xiao felt a headache coming on. He didn't want to be in the spotlight; it would bring him no benefits.
"Lin Xuan, a few of us will stay on the plane. You handle this."
"Why?" Long Xiao asked, puzzled.
Long Xiao looked at Luo Tianshui, Xiao Ming, and Ye Xiao and said, "They are not suitable for public appearances. It would cause trouble."
With Nangong Yue being carried by others, Lin Xuan led a group off the plane.
Long Xiao and the others waited on the plane for a while until the welcoming crowd at the airport dispersed. Then, they descended the aircraft's stairs.
