Zhao Lan was naturally aware of Gu Beiwang's methods.

That was twenty years ago. Zhao Lan encountered a group of thugs and almost got into trouble. Gu Beiwang came over and crippled the whole group.

As the eldest son of the Gu family at the time, he knew many people from both the legitimate and underworld circles. Since Zhao Lan was Gu Beiwang's ideal woman back then, one can imagine what happened to those people.

Zhao Lan later personally witnessed those people being submerged in a shark tank; a living person instantly turned into a pool of blood...

Zhao Lan was so frightened that she didn't dare to sleep for a long time afterward, and when she did fall asleep, she was filled with nightmares.

"Beiwang, can we talk? Just ten minutes, no, five minutes will be enough." Zhao Lan was going crazy thinking about this man. She wanted to have a conversation, like before, drinking tea or coffee and talking calmly, instead of this confrontational style.

Gu Beiwang's aura grew even colder: "I'm busy, I don't have time!" After saying that, he winked at the guard, signaling him to drive the car in, and then walked directly into the elite group's compound.

Zhao Lan wanted to pounce on him, but remembering the man's threat, she didn't dare. Her eyes were fixed on the back of the man she had longed for.

Gu Beiwang took a few steps and, finding no one following, slightly turned his head to look at his son, who was still in a daze:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow me!"

Gu Yujin then realized what was happening and hurriedly ran up to her. As for his own mother, he rarely cared about such important matters, and as a senior member of the family, he had no reason to interfere.

At this moment, Zhao Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad. The person she loved deeply and her own son disliked her and left without even saying goodbye, completely ignoring her.

But all of this was caused by Zhao Lan herself, so she can't blame anyone else.

Gu Beiwang did not deliberately try to contact his eldest son's family during his visit to the elite group. He simply observed a soldier's training as usual and then left, taking Gu Yujin with him as he went.

Poor Ye Chenyang was locked up for a full seven days before he was released. The moment he came out, this usually cheerful and sunny guy looked more disheveled than a beggar.

After returning home, Ye Chenyang spent two full hours washing in the bathroom, his skin becoming wrinkled from soaking before finally emerging, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm finally alive! Thank goodness, I'm not the only one who suffered like this. There's another unlucky guy next door too."

Ha, typical self-amusement and self-consolation.

But his sister quickly and ruthlessly exposed him: "You, Gu Yujin? He came out before even reaching fourth place."

As soon as I brought out the freshly steamed glutinous rice balls and placed them on the table, the children immediately surrounded me, unable to resist reaching out to sneak a bite.

"Don't you dare steal any food, it's too hot, you'll burn your mouth."

Tuanzi pouted, still reluctant to put her hand down. Ye Wanying sighed and scooped one out with a spoon: "Here, let it cool here. Repeat this process from one to ten times, and then it's ready to eat."

"Mmm..." It's just counting from one to ten, easy and stress-free.

Ye Chenyang, who was sitting on the sofa drying his hair, finally caught on and yelled, "What? That unlucky guy came out in fourth place?"

Tuanzi very consciously and sensibly answered for his mother: "Yes, the big liar was picked up by Grandpa Chief, he saw it himself~~"
