Xia Xiong and Xia Shuyu's eyes met in the air, their gazes conveying unwavering determination and trust, a tacit understanding between them. They nodded firmly and replied in unison, "Okay, we'll do as you say! We'll do our utmost and live up to your expectations."

Xia Xiong seemed to be struck by lightning, abruptly raising his head with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked again, "You were already so familiar with the situation in Beijing when you were in Yongmao County? That's no easy feat. How did you manage to do it?"

At this moment, his gaze toward Xia Wan was filled with scrutiny and surprise.

This seemingly ordinary granddaughter displayed remarkable adaptability, social connections, and mature, sophisticated handling of the situation in this incident. All of these qualities were vastly different from the little girl he remembered, forcing him to re-evaluate this familiar yet unfamiliar granddaughter.

Meeting her grandfather's gaze, Xia Wan smiled confidently, a slight upturn at the corners of her lips. She thought to herself, "What I've shown so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Now that I've returned to the Xia family, many more unimaginable abilities will gradually be revealed. But now is not the time."

She said softly, "Grandpa, it was just a coincidence that I met some friends and received their help, which is how I learned about the situation."

Xia Shuqin looked at Xia Wan with amazement, her eyes sparkling as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Xia Tao, who seemed a little awkward, and grumbled with exasperation, "Kid, look at your sister, and then look at yourself! You really need to learn from your sister. You can't be too honest and straightforward. You need to be more shrewd and learn how to handle complicated situations. In this world, being too naive will only lead to trouble."

Xia Tao scratched his head, a blush spreading across his face to his ears. He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "I understand, Mom. I will try my best. My sister is indeed better than me. I will definitely learn from her more in the future."

He knew in his heart that his sister's performance in this incident was indeed remarkable, far surpassing his own, which made him both admire her and feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

Xia Wan smiled modestly and gently, and said softly, "I was just lucky to have access to some special resources, which allowed me to learn more about the situation."

Our most urgent task right now is to work together to completely expose the conspiracy of Guo Guanghua and his gang. We must not let their evil schemes succeed, and we must not let them harm our families and friends. This is not only for ourselves, but also to seek justice for those innocent people they have persecuted.

As she spoke, she deftly took out paper and pen from her handbag, and the pen tip danced quickly on the paper, listing out the list of Guo's servants in detail as smoothly as flowing water.

Then, she handed the paper filled with names to Xia Xiong with both hands, her attitude respectful and sincere: "Grandpa, this is the list, please keep it safe."

Xia Xiong solemnly extended both hands and accepted the list, as if accepting a heavy responsibility.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining each name, his gaze revealing an unwavering determination and resolve: "Wanwan, don't worry. With us here in Beijing, if Guo Guanghua and Zhao Guodong dare to make any rash moves or engage in any further underhanded tactics, they will definitely not escape our notice."

We will protect this family and prevent anyone with ill intentions from harming our members. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on the Xia family will pay a heavy price!

Xia Shuyu, resting her chin on her hand, thoughtfully offered a suggestion: "I'm thinking, why don't we take the initiative and cause Guo Guanghua some trouble, so he'll be too busy to take care of himself and be in a complete mess?"

For example, we could sabotage his business, putting his factory in trouble. This would buy us ample time to prepare for their next move. We can't always be on the defensive; we need to take the initiative.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense yet filled with fighting spirit. A silent, covert struggle against Guo Guanghua and his associates was quietly unfolding in this seemingly peaceful room.

Everyone knew that the days ahead would be full of challenges and unknowns, but in order to protect the dignity and peace of their family, they were fearless and determined to do their best.

The next morning, the dawn's light, like a thin veil, gently pierced through the light clouds and scattered across the clean windowsill of the hospital.

The dappled light and shadow seemed to paint a poetic picture for this ordinary morning.

Xia Wan woke up early in the dim light, her eyes brimming with youthful vigor. Thanks to the meticulous care and recuperation of the medical staff during this period, her health has recovered remarkably well.

In the doctor's office, Xia Wan sat face to face with the doctor, discussing her physical condition in great detail.

As the doctor flipped through the thick medical record in his hand, he would occasionally glance at Xia Wan, and a relieved smile gradually appeared on his face: "The recovery is far beyond expectations. All indicators are approaching normal. Go home and continue to rest. Just pay attention to daily care."

With the doctor's permission, a hint of joy flashed in Xia Wan's eyes. She returned to the ward briskly, quickly packed her personal belongings, and neatly arranged her clothes and supplies in her suitcase. Her movements were full of eager anticipation for returning to normal life.

After completing the discharge procedures, she walked lightly towards the hospital gate, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.

Xia Xiong kept Xia Wan and the others' safety in mind from beginning to end. The night before, he carefully arranged for several strong and reliable subordinates to wait at the hospital entrance.

As dawn broke, the group straightened their backs and vigilantly observed every move around the hospital.

In Xia Xiong's view, only by staying in the military compound where his family lived could his family be completely away from danger.

During this period, Guo and his gang were ruthless and had no bottom line. He was really worried that they might do something desperate at the last minute and rush to the hospital to harm Xia Wan and the others.

The military compound where the Xia family lived was heavily guarded.

At the entrance, soldiers stood ramrod straight in their neat uniforms, fully armed, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

The compound is fully equipped with security facilities on its walls, so any uninvited guest attempting to break in will have nowhere to hide.

It's incredibly difficult for ordinary people to get close, making it extremely safe.
