Whether it was a coincidence or not, the person leading the team this time was Xu Mingyang. This was the first time Xu Mingyang had met Mu Jingheng since returning to the unit.

After not seeing him for several months, Xu Mingyang's skin had become much darker, but he looked much more energetic, with eyes like a wolf.

This is the life Xu Mingyang loves, so he's radiating happiness. If Xu Xinning were here, she would definitely be moved by his words.

Thanks to Mu Jingheng's familiarity with the terrain and Xu Mingyang's high efficiency, they captured everyone in no time.

The remaining issue was dealing with the red-light district. They notified the police, and together they conducted a major sweep, dismantling all the underground red-light districts in the vicinity.

Mu Jingheng saw Lai Laoliu again the next day.

Lai Laoliu was very small, probably less than 1.65 meters tall. He was bald, very thin, with sunken eyes and prominent cheekbones, looking like an opium addict.

If Mu Jingheng hadn't been reborn, he would have really suspected that Lai Laoliu was an opium addict upon seeing such a person. However, Mu Jingheng had dealt with this person in his previous life and knew that he had a very serious stomach ailment.

The interrogation of Lai Laoliu and his group was a matter for the Public Security Bureau. Mu Jingheng and his team had caught the suspects and were preparing to return to the capital to report back.

"How is Nannan?" Xu Mingyang asked.

"She's doing well. She's at home now. Uncle Xu had an accident a while ago, and Xin'er rushed home to help with his treatment."

The fact that Xu Yaozu had an accident was kept from Xu Mingyang and his family. They were afraid it would affect Xu Mingyang's work, so they didn't mention it to him at all.

Xu Zexi would know that it was some of the younger members of the Yang family who told him.

Xu Xinning had already informed Xu Mingyang about going to university through a letter, and Xu Mingyang was overjoyed at the time.

Hearing that Xu Yaozu had an accident, and rushing to bring Xu Xinning, who was studying in Kyoto, back for treatment, one can imagine how urgent the situation was.

"How is my older brother now?" Xu Mingyang asked anxiously.

“Xin’er had surgery the day she got back, and she’s recovering very well. Now she’s clamoring to go back to work, but Grandma won’t let her, so she’s being kept at home!” Mu Jingheng replied.

Xu Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He trusted Xu Xinning's medical skills. Putting aside everything else, the effects of the external injury medicines she gave him could only be described as miraculous. Now, unless his skin was torn open, he was reluctant to use the medicines Xu Xinning gave him.

Xu Mingyang knew Xu Yaozu's temperament; he was destined to never be idle. However, with his mother around, Xu Mingyang knew that it was impossible for his older brother to go back to work before he fully recovered.

Speaking of home, Xu Mingyang felt homesick. He missed his grandmother's nagging, his grandfather's carefulness, his third son's mischievousness, Xu Xinning's unique care, the warmth given to him by Xu Yaozu and Yang Chunqin, and even more so, the food at home.

Before returning to Kyoto, Mu Jingheng took Xu Mingyang to Kuang Guangzhi's house.

Knowing that Mu Jingheng would be coming today, Kuang Guangzhi went out to sea early and brought back a lot of seafood. When Mu Jingheng and Xu Mingyang arrived, he asked his two younger sisters to cook.

When Kuang Guangzhi first saw Xu Mingyang in military uniform, he was a little nervous. After all, what he was doing was not legal. But he inexplicably trusted Mu Jingheng and felt that he would not harm him.

"Guangzhi, this is my future wife's uncle, Xu Mingyang. You can just call him uncle. He's in the military unit here," Mu Jingheng introduced.

Xu Mingyang sized up Kuang Guangzhi a few times and said with a smile, "Hello! It's finally time to meet. Ever since I came here, this kid has asked me to take care of you."

Kuang Guangzhi was stunned for a moment. So it was true that he treated him like a brother. Could it be that they were really the best brothers in their past life?

Kwong Kwong-chi found it amazing.

Xu Mingyang knew nothing about past lives and present lives; he assumed that Mu Jingheng had truly known Kuang Guangzhi for a long time.

Kuang Guangzhi extended his hand and shook hands with Xu Mingyang, then led him into the house.

Kuang Guangzhi is already twenty-five years old. His family was poor in the past, and although his parents were anxious, they never arranged a marriage for him. In addition, Kuang Guangzhi was unwilling to settle, so this important life event was delayed. At the beginning of the year, he met his ideal woman, and that's when he had the idea of ​​getting married.

Kuang Guangzhi's eldest sister is already twenty-two, and his youngest sister is nineteen. In the countryside, they are already past the age of marriage. However, the two sisters feel that since their brother is not married, they are unwilling to get married either. They insist on waiting for their brother to get married before considering their own life's major event.

The elderly couple had tried everything—talking and scolding—but their child was too stubborn, and they couldn't do anything about it.

Kwong Kwong-chi's eldest sister is named Kwong Mei-chu, and his youngest sister is named Kwong Mei-wan.

Neither of them were talkative, but they weren't shy either; they were both very outgoing and natural with everyone.

Mu Jingheng and Xu Mingyang left after having a seafood feast.

When Kuang Guangzhi returned to his room, he discovered the money and tickets under his pillow, as well as Mu Jingheng and Xu Mingyang's contact information.

Mu Jingheng only managed to access his spatial dimension on the train back to Kyoto, where he saw all the notes Xu Xinning had written. Only then did he realize how much Xu Xinning had worried about him.

Xu Xinning sensed Mu Jingheng entering the space as soon as he did. She couldn't wait to find an opportunity to slip into the space. When she saw Mu Jingheng smiling at her, she had an urge to punch him, but seeing how dirty he was, she felt sorry for him.

Xu Xinning: "Did something happen?"

Mu Jingheng pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tightly. He had really missed him after not seeing him for so many days.

Xu Xinning was so overwhelmed by her strength that she could hardly breathe. She lightly punched her twice and said irritably, "It stinks."

Mu Jingheng mischievously gave her a light kiss on the lips, and said aggrievedly, "Wife, you don't care about me anymore."

Xu Xinning was amused by him and asked, "Did something happen?"

Mu Jingheng rested his head on Xu Xinning's shoulder and replied, "Something went wrong during the arrest. They escaped right under our noses, and we chased them all the way south."

Xu Xinning: "No wonder I haven't been able to wait for you for so many days. Did you catch you?"

Mu Jingheng murmured, "They caught him, and he even met with my uncle."

Xu Xinning asked in surprise, "Uncle? You went to see Uncle? Did Uncle receive the things sent from home?"

Mu Jingheng: "We discovered some problems during the arrest, so we asked my uncle's unit for assistance. We probably didn't receive the items, and my uncle didn't even mention it."

In those days, letters were very slow, let alone mailing things, so people didn't dare to send anything that couldn't be kept for a long time.

Xu Xinning: "Are you hungry? How about I make you a bowl of noodles, and you go take a shower?"

Mu Jingheng replied lazily, "I'll go rinse it off. Forget about the noodles. I can't stay in there too long, or it will arouse suspicion."

While Mu Jingheng was taking a shower, Xu Xinning steamed some buns for him. Buns are convenient to eat and won't waste time.

Mu Jingheng took a quick shower and was done in less than two minutes. He had only come out under the pretext of going to the bathroom to dry off.

The two met briefly, exchanging only a few words before parting ways, but knowing the other was safe put their minds at ease.
