Shen Wenzheng thought for a while and then gave him a detailed analysis, providing another line of thought, "Younger brother, you've been married for so many years, yet it's possible that because of this thing, you haven't conceived a child. So, let's first analyze and deduce the motive of the person who sabotaged you."
"You and your sister-in-law should think carefully, before and after you got married, did you and your wife make enemies or hold grudges with anyone? The first step is to identify a list of suspects behind this."
"The second step, after finding a suspect, take your time to gather evidence of this person's guilt. This method is slower compared to the previous one of drawing the snake out of its hole, and it will likely take more time and effort."
After listening, Shen Wenru instantly felt enlightened.
He happily said, "Second brother, I understand now. I'll choose this second method! I'll go back and think it through with Axia, and we will carefully scrutinize this perpetrator. As long as it's a fox, I believe it will eventually show its tail, don't you think so?"
Seeing that Shen Wenru's thinking was now pointed in the right direction, Shen Wenzheng laughed and said, "Exactly, exactly, as long as it's a fox, it will eventually show its tail!"
Shen Wenru sincerely expressed, "Second brother, thank you for showing me the way out of my confusion."
Shen Wenzheng replied with dissatisfaction, "Younger brother, we are real brothers, you don't need to be so formal with me. If you have any questions, just call me. I'll also come back tonight to see my little niece."
Shen Wenru said with a smile, "Second brother, why don't you come directly to my home for dinner?"
"Alright, see you tonight."
"See you tonight."
Shen Wenru hung up the phone, heaving a sigh of relief.
Seeing him like that, Shen Wenjun figured the second brother must have come up with a good idea and asked with a smile, "Younger brother, did the second brother help you find a good solution?"
Shen Wenru nodded and shared the two solutions that Shen Wenzheng had come up with.
After listening, Shen Wenjun said, "I also think that you should first identify the suspect and then secretly conduct an investigation. It's more reliable and safe. The method of drawing the snake out carries risks for Axia and the child, so if it's avoidable, then better not use it!"
Shen Wenru nodded, and seeing that the other staff members had also arrived at the office, he said to Shen Wenjun, "Big brother, I'll head back now. I've invited second brother to have dinner at my place tonight; you and dad come over too. Let's us fathers and sons have a good drink."
Shen Wenjun laughed and said, "Alright, I'll tell dad when I get back."
Shen Wenru left the office and headed straight for home.
Back at home, Li Xiuxia showed her concern, "I left you some layered pancakes in the big pot, and there's porridge in the smaller one. Go eat, and we can talk about everything after you've eaten."
Shen Wenru replied with an "Okay!"
After so many years of marriage, they had developed a certain understanding in doing things.
He went straight into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw the layered pancakes his wife had left for him. He also took out a big bowl, filled it with a generous portion of porridge and started to eat the delicious pancakes with gusto.
Only after he was fully satisfied did Shen Wenru go back to his room.
He first glanced at his precious daughter, sleeping sweetly on the bed, bent down, and affectionately kissed her little cheek before he sat down to speak with Li Xiuxia in a lowered voice.
After listening to Shen Wenru's recount of Shen Wenzheng's advice, Li Xiuxia also fell silent for a long time. Finally, she said, "Actually, I do favor the 'luring the snake out of its hole' strategy; that way, we could catch this person faster."
Even when faced with his wife's suggestion, Shen Wenru immediately refused without a second word. "No! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'd rather take more time and effort myself, than let you or our little treasure face any kind of risk."
Li Xiuxia, however, voiced her concerns with some anxiety, "I'm worried that even if we don't use the 'luring the snake out of its hole' plan, that person will soon find out about Little Xingxing. Wouldn't this person then potentially harm her just the same?"
Hearing Li Xiuxia's reminder, Shen Wenru also felt a jolt of alarm, "That is indeed a possibility! It seems we must prepare for both eventualities—investigate in secret while also taking preventative measures. We absolutely cannot let that person's malicious intentions succeed. Axia, think again—before and after our marriage, did we possibly make enemies with anyone? I've been racking my brain for ages and truly can't think of anyone we've held a grudge against!"
Li Xiuxia sighed softly, "I've been thinking about it all this time too, but I'm completely at a loss for targets. We both have amiable natures, we've never even argued with anyone, so how could we possibly have made enemies?"
Shen Wenru agreed wholeheartedly, "Exactly! If we can't even identify a suspect, how are we supposed to deal with that scum?"
Seeing that Shen Wenru hadn't slept well all night and had been busy until now, his eyes were filled with red threads. Li Xiuxia quickly told him, "Don't think about it anymore. Get some good sleep first. Rest up, then we can talk. This problem won't be solved in haste!"
Shen Wenru uttered a soft sound of agreement, feeling truly tired. He washed his face and limbs, took off his outer clothes, and then crawled back into bed to sleep.
He glanced sideways at his daughter, who was sleeping deeply, closed his eyes in contentment, and soon fell asleep as well.
Seeing her husband and daughter both asleep, Li Xiuxia felt bored by herself. The weather was cold, so she also crawled back into bed to join her daughter and husband in slumber.
When Shen Tianxing woke up, she saw that both her parents were still asleep.
She didn't wake them. Instead, she took out a quarter of a Condensed Spirit Pill from the Lifespace and swallowed it, continuing her intensive cultivation.
Many of the techniques from the Fairy Realm's Tianji Pavilion required Spiritual Power or fairy power to execute, so she needed to quickly raise her cultivation level. Otherwise, if she encountered those harmful sorcerers, she would not be able to fight them.
With the foundation laid down during her previous session, she absorbed the Condensed Spirit Pill even faster this time; in less than half an hour, the effect of a quarter of the pill was completely absorbed.
Shen Tianxing then took another quarter and absorbed it in the same half-hour period, before putting the last quarter into her mouth.
By the time Shen Tianxing had absorbed this last quarter of the Condensed Spirit Pill, she had successfully entered the first level of Qi Refinement.
Although it was only the first level of Qi Refinement, Shen Tianxing was still very pleased.
In her cultivation, she discovered that her reborn body possessed the rare Pure Body, also known as the Innate Spirit Body.
This rare aptitude for cultivation is one that not even one in a million possess.
With such a physique and talent, she was confident she could climb back to her former peak status. Then, she planned to find her master, reunite with him, and never part from him again.
After Shen Tianxing's session of cultivation was complete, Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia also woke up.
