Changteng City, Gu Garden.

Bad stuff, bad stuff

In the greenhouse, Little Sunflower flew to the round table, eating sunflower seeds and chirping all the while.

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "You ate my food and then insulted me? Little Sunflower, you've got some nerve. Be careful, or I'll have Grandpa Village Chief take you to the mountains and make sure you're chased by dogs every day."

The little sunflower immediately flew away, landing on the high flower stand: "Going home, going home!"

Shangguan Wu smiled: "It's time to go home. After the competition, I'll take your wife home with me."

Suddenly, she remembered an old joke from ten thousand years ago: Passengers who haven't boarded yet, please take other people's luggage, bring other people's wives, and hurry up and get on the train...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Little Sunflower spread its wings and flew around the greenhouse: [A madman! A madman is coming!]

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched, and he turned to look at the other parrot: "Little Rainbow, you said it was okay, all these sunflower seed kernels are yours!"

The little rainbow fluttered down from the height to the round table, first circling the sunflower seeds before slowly eating them one by one.

Just then, Ji Moyan walked into the greenhouse and asked curiously, "Wu Bao, I could hear your laughter from afar. What's making you so happy?"

The little rainbow immediately spread its wings and flew high up, remaining motionless, as if it hadn't been the one that had been greedily eating.

Shangguan Wu blinked: "Mom, it's Little Sunflower. It's too narcissistic."

Little Sunflower: [Narcissist, so ugly! Narcissist, so ugly!]

"Pfft~"

Shangguan Wu chuckled again, raising an eyebrow: "So you knew you were ugly!"

Ji Moyan forced a smile: "Hehe, these two parrots are quite pretty. I remember you said there were three parrots, right?"

"You'll have to ask Little Rainbow about the other one; it's the one that chased the other away." Shangguan Wu had originally planned to name it Little Cloud and Little Zhenzhen.

Hmm, she misses Gu Yunzhen.

I don't know where he is now, what he's doing, or if he's in any danger.

The smile on Shangguan Wu's face gradually faded.

Suddenly, Ji Moyan touched Shangguan Wu's head and said worriedly, "Tomorrow is the preliminary round. So many people are competing at the same time, and you're the only one on stage. I'm worried about you, so I bought tickets for the front row of the audience. The seats are occupied by our Gu family's bodyguards. They will protect you."

Of course, she and her husband would also go to the competition venue.

Shangguan Wu never expected her mother-in-law to go to such lengths; she was so considerate. Although she didn't know what her mother-in-law was afraid of, it was undoubtedly for her safety.

She reassured her mother-in-law, "Mom, the competition is being broadcast live, and there are audience members in the audience. I will be careful, so you don't need to worry too much!"

Ji Moyan hummed in agreement: "Since Fourth Brother isn't by your side, I should take good care of you."

What if it's the fourth child...? This is his only flesh and blood!

She not only wanted him to be born safely, but also wanted to watch him grow up!

Thinking of this, Ji Moyan almost couldn't hold back her tears again.

"I'm going to the kitchen to see if the black chicken soup is ready. Don't sit for too long." Ji Moyan was afraid that her youngest daughter-in-law would notice something was amiss, so she came and went quickly.

"good."

Shangguan Wu responded and watched her mother-in-law's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

She sat for a while longer and then called Du Wei.

"Du Wei, has anything happened recently?"

Her question came suddenly, and Du Wei was taken aback before answering: "Miss, there have been more foreigners coming to Changteng City recently, and all the hotels in Changteng City are full, which has led to more conflicts."

Shangguan Wu's delicate brows furrowed slightly; she didn't want to hear any of this.

But not these things, what does she want to hear?

Perhaps she's being overly sensitive.

After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Wu got up and left the flower room, slowly walking towards the villa.

Inside the villa, Ji Moyan walked into the living room with red eyes, startling Gu Qingyu.

She had been crying for a week. On the day she received the devastating news, she locked herself in her room and cried until her eyes were swollen. When her younger daughter-in-law saw her, she said that he had done something to betray her...

She just went out to find her youngest daughter-in-law, and now she's back with red eyes. Could she be slandering him again?

As he grew old, his reputation was about to be ruined.

Gu Qingyu helplessly pulled her into his arms: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother will be fine."

With a look of deep sorrow and despair, Ji Moyan asked, "They've been missing for a week now, is there any hope left?"

Gu Qingyu replied affirmatively, "Of course! Eleven and the others searched quickly and found everyone else. There's no reason why only Fourth Brother and Aheng are left without even a body. They must have been taken away by the pirates."

Ji Mo Yan gasped, "Taken away by pirates? Doesn't that mean they're going to suffer terribly?"

"With their intelligence, even if they suffer, it will only be temporary. As long as they live, there is hope. They will not die easily."

Gu Qingyu knew their abilities and was quite confident in them. He released her and said, "You, on the other hand, hurry up and wash your face so your daughter-in-law doesn't see you."

Don't throw mud at him again.

He didn't say that.

He said he'd be sleeping on the floor tonight.

After so many years of marriage, Ji Mo Yan knew him well enough. She punched him lightly and hurried to the bathroom.

When she returned to the living room, there was no sign that she had been crying.

Ji Moyan sat down next to Gu Qingyu and asked, "Couldn't we have wiped out all those pirates in one fell swoop?"

Gu Qingyu stated objectively: "They are not in Chinese waters, so it's difficult to capture them all in one fell swoop."

The sovereignty and territorial integrity of every country are inviolable by other countries. Without the consent of the relevant country, no country may enter the territorial waters of another country, let alone enforce its laws.

Deploying troops into another country's territorial waters without the relevant permits would be considered an international incident!

The reason those pirates survived for so long was twofold: first, their hideouts were never discovered; and second, they moved very quickly and never directly confronted the armies of any country.

But this time it's different.

If Lao Si and A Heng knew they were in the pirates' lair, they would definitely destroy it before leaving.

Whatever the reason, now that the pirates have joined forces with the Divine Envoy Organization, it's the best time to take them down.

This process will be difficult, but he believes that Lao Si and A Heng can do it!

He just couldn't tell these things to his wife, afraid that she would worry unnecessarily.

In the early hours of the morning, at the Gu family residence in the capital.

Gu Yilou was still processing documents in his study, but his efficiency was very low. He was clearly very sleepy, but his mind was on edge, and he dared not fall asleep.

Suddenly, he received news that his fourth brother and Ah Heng were both alive.

They're all alive!

It's good that you're alive!

Gu Yilou was unable to calm down for a long time.

He simply turned off the computer, left the study, went to check on Xiao Bao in his room, covered him with a blanket, and then returned to his own bedroom.

"The message that Fourth Young Master sent back is that he and Master Heng will be the first to arrive at the headquarters of the Divine Envoy Organization. He told us to follow Captain Gong Wujue. He also said that there are traitors in the team. They have gone from the open to the covert. We should not tell anyone else about them for the time being."

Gu Yilou stood by the window, recalling Gu Wu's words, and looked up to see that the starlight was finally brilliant tonight.
