A few days after the New Year, Gu Ye went back to work. He couldn't do strenuous exercise, but he still had a lot of other work to do. Political Commissar Zhai's dark circles were almost welded to his eyes; he was overworked.

That spring, Liu Jiu refused to go to daycare; she wanted to go to school. She'd had enough of daycare. Fortunately, the primary school opened a kindergarten that year, and Liu Jiu could enroll. She was very happy.

Sanqi has grown quite a bit taller this year. I wonder if it's because he spends more time with his grandma and grandpa. This kid prefers to walk with his hands behind his back and a swaying gait.

During this time, Bonnie had nothing to do, so she took Yang Qiaomei, who had just arrived with the army, to familiarize herself with the island, go beachcombing, and dry seafood.

During this time, Bonnie also took a trip to the military hospital to inquire privately. Fortunately, she didn't hear any unfavorable rumors about Gu Ye. Hmph, they're smart enough to know their place, otherwise she wouldn't have let it go so easily.

Gu Ye was unaware that his wife had this trick up her sleeve. He received a call from his older brother and learned some information from him.

On the surface, the older brother was talking about job transfers: who got promoted, who got demoted, who was discharged from the military, and some people went to cadre schools...

From his elder brother's casual remarks, Gu Ye peeled back the layers and understood the message his brother was conveying: his and Han Weiguo's plan had succeeded. They had caught the scoundrel who coveted Gu Ye's mother's courtyard house and, following the clues, had caught a big fish.

This shameless scoundrel who rose to power through flattery had betrayed many revolutionary martyrs, though he did so discreetly and was never caught. If it weren't for his unfilial descendants committing evil deeds, giving Gu Ze and Han Weiguo leverage to hand it over to their arch-enemy, this guy would still be hiding deep inside.

When Gu Ye got home from get off work, Bao Ni looked at his beaming face and was a little confused. Why was he so happy? Was there something good happening?

"You found some money?"

"Silly wife, even if you find money, you have to hand it over to the police. Do you think I would keep it for myself?" Gu Ye looked at his wife, who was obsessed with money, and found her adorable no matter how he looked at her.

"What are you so happy about if you didn't find money? You're smiling like an idiot!" Bonnie rolled her eyes. Honestly, she doesn't care about Ye at all. All her previous aloofness is gone.

"Big brother wrote a letter, is there good news?" Gu Ye deliberately kept it a secret and didn't say what it was about directly.

"Are your sister-in-law's wishes coming true? Are they going to have a little girl?" Bonnie knew that her sister-in-law had always wanted a daughter, but she had two sons.

"No, no. Oh, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Big brother and Han Weiguo's deal is done, and there's something unexpected going on that you'll never guess." Gu Ye's words made Bao Ni even more anxious. What kind of person is he? He only tells half the story, hiding the other half. So annoying.

"You're so annoying. If you're going to say something, just say it directly. It makes the listener anxious."

Seeing his wife's displeasure, Gu Ye quickly explained, "Didn't someone try to frame Gu Bei to attack my brother before? But it didn't work. My brother followed the clues and found the mastermind behind it all. He and Han Weiguo made a plan and investigated the mastermind's home. They put in a lot of effort and found quite a few incriminating evidence. My brother and his team set a trap, and their political enemies got hold of it. Their family was ruined."

When Bonnie heard this, her heart tightened. This was no small matter; it had taken her older brother and the others so long to resolve, and there had been some risks involved.

"Will it affect my older brother and the others?" Bonnie asked anxiously.

"It's alright, my brother is very careful. Otherwise, how could it have taken so long? He usually thinks three steps ahead before acting, and he's sure to clear himself of all charges." Gu Ye knew his brother's abilities and had confidence in him.

“That’s not what I’m talking about; that’s a bit far removed from our lives.”

"What? You've been talking for so long, and it's all just side notes. You haven't even gotten to the point yet! Gu Ye, I strongly suspect you're just making fun of me." Bonnie had been listening for a while, but ended up getting nowhere.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? We haven't seen each other for a day, I just wanted to talk to you more, right? It's that annoying Dr. Nan, her family's influence in Kyoto has also been implicated. What Dean Nan did has been investigated and she's been sent to a cadre school for re-education. Dr. Nan has also been expelled." Gu Ye looked like he wanted praise. You're happy with what happened this time, aren't you?

"Really? That idiot got fired? That's great! I was wondering why she was so quiet. I secretly went to the military hospital a few days ago and didn't hear any rumors. I thought I had scared her off!" Bonnie covered her mouth after saying that, she had given herself away.

Gu Ye looked at his wife, whose eyes were wide open, and pulled her into his arms. She was his sunshine, the sunshine that helped him drive away all the darkness.

Bonnie was being held tightly and was a little bewildered. She was so angry that she had lost her temper. Why didn't anyone scold her?

"Wife, you must always stay by my side and protect me from being bullied, okay?" Gu Ye's voice trembled slightly.

Bonnie knew he was thinking about some unpleasant things again, so she hugged him tightly. "Where can I go if I'm not by your side? Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. Have you forgotten? I'm Lin Bonnie, the invincible fighter on the entire island!"

At this moment, Gu Ye wasn't the invincible Commander Gu, but a vulnerable man who needed to be cared for. No one is fearless all the time; everyone has a weak side. All you need is to find someone you feel comfortable showing your vulnerability to.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

Liu Jiu's voice came from afar, and Bao Ni patted Gu Ye's big head. "Alright, Comrade Gu Ye, your daughter is hungry. It's time for you to show your skills."

Gu Ye gave his wife a big kiss, muttering, "What a 'little cotton-padded jacket'! She's only good for interrupting my sweet moments at crucial times. Not thoughtful at all..."

Bonnie smiled as she watched Gu Ye muttering to himself, and heard the footsteps of Liu Jiu and San Qi running in. She then went out to greet them.

"Mom, I got a little red flower! The teacher said I love to work and am a model worker!" Liu Jiu carefully held up the little red flower and handed it to her mother. Bao Ni carefully took it and showed it to Gu Ye.

"Liu Jiu is so capable, let Mom put it on for you, in the most conspicuous place!" Gu Ye was also happy. His daughter was amazing. She had only been in school for a few days and had already received a little red flower. She was just like him in that respect, having been excellent since she was a child.

Gu Ye hummed a song as he cooked in the kitchen, deciding to add an extra dish to celebrate that evening.

Sanqi looked at his sister's little red flower and had a little idea in his mind; he wanted one too.

Dinner was plentiful, and Gu Ye even poured everyone a glass of soda. There was good news today, so we had to celebrate.

Liu Jiu was very excited. This was to celebrate her. She wanted to get lots of little red flowers so she could drink soda!

Sanqi also thought that she would get a little red flower and drink soda in the future!

Gu Ye and Bao Ni were unaware that their whim had caused the two children to become so obsessed with the little red flower!
