Several figures walked in through the door.

The elderly man at the head of the group, leaning on a cane and dressed in a solemn Zhongshan suit, walked straight in the backlight. His white eyebrows and eyes revealed a resolute and stern face that exuded a sharp and dignified air.

"dad!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wu Yujun's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she ran towards Wu Zhansheng.

It turned out to be Wu Zhansheng.

Ye Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Wu Zhansheng, whose arm was being held by Wu Yujun, and a faint smile of relief gradually appeared on her lips.

Judging from the situation, she can be saved.

Wu Zhansheng was overjoyed that his daughter rushed to him upon seeing him, but he still kept a low, stern expression and, feigning authority, reprimanded her in a low voice:

"How old are you? Why are you still so reckless in front of strangers?"

"No matter how old she is, she is still your daughter, Father."

Wu Yujun smiled and took Wu Zhansheng's arm, swallowing all the bitterness of being mocked. Looking into Wu Zhansheng's weathered eyes, she added in a slightly coquettish tone, "A father will also unconditionally forgive his daughter, won't he?"

Wu Zhansheng finally broke down, his serious expression softening as if ice and snow were melting.

"That's natural."

His daughter, who had finally returned home, who had come to her senses, who had been lost and found again, was also the daughter he had silently cared for for over a decade, the daughter for whom he had even abandoned his unyielding spirit to step onto the tables of fame and fortune.

With his hard and sour face, how could he bear to keep scaring her?

Yesterday, Wu Yujun suddenly appeared in his hospital room. He was incredibly excited. He thought he would never be able to reconcile with his only daughter.

When he learned that his daughter had decided to divorce, he felt a pang of sadness, but he was overjoyed!

He didn't know if his behavior qualified him as a good father. Other parents wouldn't want their children to divorce, but he only hoped that his daughter would divorce and come home, and he was even overjoyed by it.

All he knew was that once his daughter got divorced, she wouldn't suffer anymore.

His daughter said that she came to her senses because of a girl she had just met.

His dignified gaze swept across the room, finally landing on Ye Yun. Ye Yun clearly felt the oppressive aura emanating from Wu Zhansheng's eyes, and calmly nodded to him.

This surprised Wu Zhansheng.

He had trained soldiers for many years and had tamed countless stubborn troublemakers. His eyes had become incredibly sharp with the passage of time, and almost no one dared to look him in the eye.

Whenever he tries to scare someone, even a child will sneer at the sight of him, and an adult will break out in a cold sweat.

How could Ye Yun, a young woman, remain so calm under his deliberate scrutiny?

At this moment, Xu Jiashen's group was also in a state of panic and confusion, with the bald man being the most obvious example. He followed Xu Jiashen tremblingly, secretly glancing at Wu Zhansheng, who had a serious expression at the door, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Third Master, what do we do now?" she asked in a low voice, not daring to be overheard by Wu Zhansheng.

Xu Jiashen had not expected Wu Zhansheng to appear suddenly. Unsure of the situation, he wisely chose to remain still to avoid alerting Wu.

But his group was simply too eye-catching.

The gaze that had been scrutinizing Ye Yun slowly shifted to Xu Jiashen, like an old but still vigorous leopard spotting its prey. When it stared at Xu Jiashen, its eyes radiated an innate and intense pressure.

"Third Master?"

His voice was strong and powerful from the moment he opened his mouth:

"Ha, since the founding of the nation, there are still people who dare to call themselves 'Master'. They really don't take us old folks seriously."

Xu Jiashen was extremely displeased upon hearing this. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to speak to him like that, but he couldn't afford to offend this man. Forcing a smile through his twisted, scarred face, he said respectfully:

"You're joking, sir. It's just the lower-ups shouting nonsense. The younger generation would never have disregarded the law, nor would they have the guts to do so."

"I told you not to shout, but you insisted on doing it anyway. Don't shout like that again, and apologize to Old Wu right now!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to scold the people around him.

The most taboo thing in this day and age is to follow the feudal class system. Wasn't that clear enough back when we were playing cards?

He might get shot if things go wrong.

The bald man and his companions quickly apologized and admitted their mistake.

They all nodded and bowed, their attitude humble, constantly explaining that the "master" or "grandpa" titles were just empty words they used and had nothing to do with Xu Jiashen.

If they don't clear Xu Jiashen's name in front of Old Wu, they'll be killed when they get back.

Xu Jiashen also had a good attitude, putting his hands together with Buddhist beads and smiling obsequiously, "Mr. Wu, you see, it's just their subordinates joking around. I'm just their boss. From now on, I'll order them to only call me boss. Is that alright?"

Wu Zhansheng snorted coldly.

Clearly, they scoffed at Xu Jiashen's claims and didn't believe his nonsense at all.

Wu Yujun, outspoken and blunt, sneered, "We're all seasoned foxes, what are you pretending to be in front of my father? Do you think my father doesn't know your true colors?"

A cold glint flashed in Xu Jiashen's eyes.

But he still said good-naturedly, "Yes, yes, Miss Wu is right."

He lowered his head, his eyes revealing an undisguised coldness and murderous intent. A fierce ruthlessness emanated from the corner of his crooked mouth as he pondered how to make Wu Yujun disappear silently.

No one dared to speak to him like that.

Even if the other party is someone he can't afford to offend, he still has to find a way to vent his anger.

He thought he had been very patient.

But all of this fell into Ye Yun's eyes.

Ye Yun keenly sensed the killing intent emanating from Xu Jiashen and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I, Wu Zhansheng, only have this one daughter. If anything happens to her, the consequences will be unbearable for most people." A deep, cold, and authoritative voice suddenly rang in my ears.
