Huo Haocheng and his team returned to Yuncheng two days later. Commander Gu was very satisfied with their successful completion of the mission and gave them two days off to rest.

After returning home, Ruan Ruan told Huo Haocheng about Zheng Xuyang.

In response, Huo Haocheng said, "They are right not to want it."

During the month in Haicheng, the people arrested the most were those who followed their second uncle. These people held high-ranking positions in the Zheng family's businesses, and some of them were even people carefully cultivated by the Zheng family patriarch when he was still alive to prepare for Zheng Xuyang. However, money can be blinding.

"You have no idea, the Zheng family is a complete mess right now. Whoever takes it over will be a sucker. Zheng Xuyang donated all of this to the country, and the country will step in and arrange for people to clean it up. Maybe it will even save them. But if Zheng Xuyang takes it over himself, he will really go bankrupt."

"Yes, when you told me about this, I was thinking about this issue. Putting aside the fact that it's a mess, even if it were intact and in good condition, the Zheng family would be labeled as traitors once his second uncle is sentenced. Even if the world knew the truth, they would become the subject of gossip. At that time, the two brothers would not only have nowhere to go in Haicheng, but they wouldn't be able to stay in their current positions in Yuncheng either. To put it another way, we people in the factory might not care about him, but those outside, those who cooperate with the factory, will inevitably be jealous. What if they take advantage of the Zheng family's situation to severely damage them?"

Even if we are under pressure, the saying "public opinion is a fearsome thing" is really important. If they can't withstand the pressure and leave to avoid implicating others in the factory, then all the hard work they have put in over the years will be for nothing. Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for them.

Fortunately, Zheng Xuyang was clear-headed and knew what choice was best for them.

You might not know this, but when I went to find them that day, I was thinking, if he wasn't thinking straight, I'd just go up to him and slap him twice, beat him up first. Seriously, when Huo Haoshen and the others were cheering and congratulating them on getting what was rightfully theirs back, I was ready to punch them.”

Speaking of this, Ruan Ruan recalled the scene from that morning. If it weren't for the two children there, she would have gone up and beaten up Huo Haoshen and the others.

Fortunately, some of these people are still clear-headed.

"Hehehe, then they really have to thank you for showing mercy." Hearing his wife's words, Huo Haocheng could imagine the scene at that time. To be honest, he had never seen his wife beat someone up, but he had seen her holding a gun. She looked really heroic and dashing. He thought that she would beat someone up in the same way.

"Isn't that right? It prevented me from even having a chance to make a move," Ruan Ruan said proudly.

After chatting with Ruan Ruan, Huo Haocheng learned that Zheng Xuyang and his brother had not yet set off for Haicheng. After dinner, Huo Haocheng carried one child in each arm and walked slowly with Ruan Ruan towards the family compound.

He felt that since they were all brothers, he needed to tell them about the current situation of the Zheng family in Haicheng.

The family of four became a sight to behold along the way. Everyone who passed by would call out, "Commander Huo, you're back! Wow, Da Bao and Xiao Bao have grown so much! Comrade Ruan Ruan is so lucky. Look how good Commander Huo is to you!"

"Yes, that's right, okay, thank you, your family is good to you too..." and so on, until they left the residential compound.

"Wow, my face is stiff from smiling so much, it's all your fault!" Ruan Ruan rubbed her face, which was about to stiffen, and said to Huo Haocheng in an annoyed tone.

"I'm innocent! My sister-in-law is so kind, why is it my fault?" Huo Haocheng felt a little wronged, but he was still charmed by his wife's sudden coquettishness and laughed as he teased her.

"It's all your fault. Usually when Mom and I take the kids out for a walk, my sisters-in-law aren't this enthusiastic. It's only today, with you here, that they keep talking to us. I've never seen them smile like this before. What's wrong with them today?"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. It must be because we haven't seen each other for so long that they're being extra enthusiastic today. Maybe they'll be fine tomorrow." Even without Ruan Ruan saying it, Huo Haocheng felt that the aunts and sisters-in-law were indeed much more enthusiastic than before today. He thought it must be because they hadn't seen each other for more than a month.

"I hope so!" Ruan Ruan was skeptical of Huo Haocheng's explanation that it might be because she hadn't seen him for over a month. From the way the other women greeted them earlier, they seemed to envy her for having such a good man as Huo Haocheng, who helped take the children out to play as soon as he returned, and even carried two of them herself, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

All I can say is, Ruan Ruan is really good.

After they left, the wives started huddling together to complain about their husbands. They had all sorts of complaints, but most of them said that their husbands did nothing when they got home, acting like lords. If the broom fell over, they wouldn't even bother to pick it up, let alone help take care of the children.

So, without Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan's knowledge, Huo Haocheng was already considered the man in the compound who was most good at doting on his wife, while Ruan Ruan was considered the woman in the compound who was most good at training men.

They believed that Huo Haocheng's kindness towards Ruan Ruan was due to her effective training.

If their sister-in-law weren't too embarrassed to ask, she would have come to Ruan Ruan for advice.

Of course, Ruan Ruan and her husband were unaware of all this. Even if they did know, given Ruan Ruan's laziness, she would only have called them boring.
