Gu Tingzhi sighed, holding the person in his arms, "So long! You promised you'd come, but what if you don't go abroad? What am I supposed to do then?"

Meng Fuyan turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm going to move the warehouse with you... It's not fun in China at all, I'll definitely go abroad to find you."

"Besides..." Meng Fuyan turned around, cupped his face in her hands and examined him carefully, "You're so handsome, how could I bear not to come out?"

"This is the man I personally rescued from the enemy after exposing a huge secret. I can share a lot of credit with him in the future. If I don't come out and watch over him, what if someone else snatches him away? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

Gu Tingzhi immediately smiled, "You said it yourself, you had to come find me. Whatever you want, I'll find a way to get it for you, okay?"

"Okay!"

The two of them agreed on this and began planning their return to China. Meng Fuyan and Meng Suqin decided to meet with Xu Aihua's younger brother. The Meng family's collateral branch refused to help, but this person was Xu Aihua's own brother, and they needed to know his true thoughts.

Meng Suqin knew where this person worked, but it was a bit far from here. Taking advantage of their day off, Chen Ying drove the person there and went directly to the person's dormitory.

It was a very ordinary dormitory. This person's name in China was Xu Aiguo. When his family changed their identities, they used very common and inconspicuous names.

The kind that you can't find at all in a crowd.

On his days off, he stayed at home. He was in his thirties and unmarried, so he stayed alone in his dormitory, which was full of books.

When Meng Suqin and Meng Fuyan arrived, he was eating instant noodles.

Upon seeing Meng Suqin, Xu Aiguo was taken aback. "Sister, what brings you here?"

According to seniority, he was of the same generation as Meng Suqin, but he was a few years younger than her, so he called her "sister".

Meng Suqin found a place to sit down. "I came to see you and, by the way, to tell you something about your brother and the others back home!"

Xu Aiguo was immediately shocked, his face lighting up with joy. "Really? You have news about them? How are they? Are they alright?"

Meng Suqin gestured for him not to rush, and pulled Meng Fuyan over, saying, "This is my daughter Yanyan. Yanyan, this is your uncle."

"Hello, Uncle!"

Xu Aiguo pushed up his glasses, looked Meng Fuyan up and down, and was overjoyed. "My God, this is Yanyan! She's grown so much! She's so beautiful, just like you when you were young..."

"By the way, sis, are you feeling better?"

He had met Meng Suqin before, but at that time she had severe aftereffects, her face was pale and her expression was haggard, she was completely different from now.

Meng Suqin nodded, "It's alright. I guess seeing my daughter changed my mind. I spent some time with Yanyan, and with her taking care of me, and after taking some Chinese medicine, I miraculously recovered."

"That's great! So... Yanyan brought the news about my older brother, right? Tell me quickly, how are my older brother and the others?"

Meng Fuyan then told what she knew: "They were doing very well. No one in the country knows about his relationship with our Meng family. They used to have very respectable jobs in Changning City and were high-ranking officials. Unfortunately, the country was in chaos a few years ago. Because his family was relatively wealthy and he had overseas connections like yours, his enemies found a handle against him, and he lost his job. They were all sent to the countryside in Northeast China to do manual labor."

Xu Aiguo's smile froze instantly. They had all heard that the situation in China was unstable, and the environment there was not good. They were also worried that if they all stayed in China, something would happen. That's why the Meng family decided to split up, so that if something went wrong, they wouldn't be wiped out.

He stayed abroad after studying abroad and never returned. Little did he know that this would become the reason for his older brother's accident.

Meng Suqin comforted her, "What's done is done, there's no use being sad now. I brought Yanyan here this time and there's another thing I want to tell you. Yanyan went abroad this time by all means to get out, and her purpose was to use the people here to save the Meng family in China and even her former subordinates."

"At that time, the country was short of foreign exchange. Our Meng family is in business, so we wanted to start from this area. As long as you contribute to the country, you will basically receive preferential treatment. That was Yanyan's original idea. After she came to me, she contacted my uncle. If my uncle was willing to help, your older brother and the others would definitely be able to live better. It's not certain that they will be reinstated, but they should be able to get decent jobs back in Changning City. But..."

"My uncle refuses!"

Xu Aiguo was a little incredulous. "Why? Doesn't he want to save my older brother?"

Meng Suqin took out Meng Weiguang's letter and showed it to him.

“He wrote this by his own hand. Take a look.”

“We didn’t expect our uncle to refuse, and we were worried that Brother Aihua and the others would still think of them as good people, so we simply had our uncle write this down and lied to him, saying that Yanyan should take it back to give Brother Aihua an explanation. He wrote it himself.”

It was indeed written by hand. Xu Aiguo recognized Meng Weiguang's handwriting. He wasn't stupid. The reasons given were grand and dignified, but they all boiled down to one thing: no rescue.

He knew a little about the reason: his uncle's family had always hated their Chinese identity and wished they could become American citizens. Now that they were being asked to have something to do with China, they were naturally unwilling.

Xu Aiguo was so angry he couldn't speak, utterly disappointed in his snobbish uncle.

Meng Suqin said, "I came here just to tell you these things, but they are all minor matters. You should have a better understanding of what kind of person your uncle is over the years, so this outcome is not unexpected. Now you just need to keep this in mind. When you see Brother Aihua in the future, you should also tell him all this, so that he doesn't still think that your uncle is a good person!"
