Three days later, Wang Peng drove to the provincial capital's international airport to take Li Mingzhu and her son to England.

This was because he did not notify anyone, including both sets of parents; there were only four bodyguards present, as well as Du Lei and Hu Mingyue.

"Mingzhu, remember to call me when you arrive safely." Wang Peng hugged her and pinched his son's cheek.

Suddenly feeling reluctant to leave his wife and children, he picked up his son and kissed him twice on the cheek.

Li Mingzhu was also reluctant to leave, but for her son's safety, she had no choice but to compromise.

“Honey, there’s a letter I left for you in the middle drawer of the desk in the bedroom. Take a look when you have time,” Li Mingzhu said.

Wang Peng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked, "We've been married for so long, can't we just say things to each other face to face?"

"Hehe." Li Mingzhu chuckled, "There are some things I'm too embarrassed to say out loud."

Hearing him say that, Peng was even more confused. What was there to be embarrassed about between a couple sleeping together?

Hu Mingyue interjected, "Brother Peng, sister-in-law, should we arrange for bodyguards to go to England?"

“No need.” Wang Peng waved his hand. “That’s Meng Jiao’s territory. She’ll take care of everything.”

Li Mingzhu checked her phone; there was still more than half an hour before boarding, so she had to go into the airport to wait.

My heart ached, the sorrow of parting filled my chest, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Wang Peng handed his son to her and hugged her, saying, "Don't be sad. I will come to reunite with you as soon as possible."

"Mmm." Li Mingzhu nodded and said softly, "Honey, you need to take good care of yourself."

Du Lei said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about Brother Peng. Back when Brother Peng was selling watermelons all by himself, he was able to take good care of himself."

"Hmm." Li Mingzhu bit her lip, looked at the waiting hall door, and was still reluctant to leave.

The announcer's sweet voice came over the loudspeaker, repeatedly reminding passengers on the flight to prepare for boarding as soon as possible.

"Honey, I'm leaving now. Remember to call me." Li Mingzhu said goodbye with difficulty.

"I'll call you every day, don't worry." Wang Peng patted her shoulder. "Go on in, don't waste any time."

Li Mingzhu carried her son into the waiting hall and waved to Wang Peng and the others through the glass door.

Wang Peng waved goodbye to her and watched her go through security, holding her son in one arm and pulling her suitcase with the other, as she gradually disappeared into the crowd.

He stood outside for a long time, staring blankly at the flow of people inside, his mood growing heavier and heavier.

Only at that moment did he realize that he could never lose his wife and children in this lifetime.

"Brother Peng, don't worry, I've arranged two reliable female bodyguards. They'll take care of your wife secretly," Hu Mingyue said softly.

Wang Peng felt a void in his heart and turned to Du Lei: "Do you have time this afternoon? Want to have a couple of drinks with me?"

"If we have time, shall we go to Xinglan Hotel again?" Du Lei nodded hurriedly and took out his phone from his pocket.

"Okay, let's go to Xinglan Hotel." Wang Peng walked down the steps and came to the car.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and he sat in the back seat. Du Lei and Hu Mingyue followed him into the car.

This is a seven-seater minivan. In addition to the three of them, there are four bodyguards in the car.

The car arrived at Xinglan Hotel. Wang Peng got out of the car and led Hu Mingyue and Du Lei to his private VIP room on the fifth floor.

Hu Mingyue went downstairs to order food and specifically requested three bottles of wine. She sat next to Wang Peng, behaving as obediently as a child.

"Brother Lei, is there no problem with Store No. 5 opening on time?" Wang Peng asked.

"We will definitely open as planned. Don't worry, Brother Peng, there won't be any problems," Du Lei hurriedly replied.

"Store No. 5 is a gamble with our entire future; we have no way out." Wang Peng shook his head and continued, "If we can operate normally, I'm confident I can drive Huihuang out of the provincial capital. If we can't withstand Huihuang's initial three-pronged attack..."

Du Lei shook his head vigorously and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Brother Peng, we will definitely be the final victors."

"Big brother, I have confidence, and you must have confidence in us too," Hu Mingyue said, clenching her fists and enunciating each word clearly.

Wang Peng raised his glass: "Alright, let's fight together and win this most important battle."

The three clinked glasses and began exchanging toasts.

Wang Peng was feeling uneasy, so he didn't control his alcohol intake and drank more and more. Du Lei couldn't drink less either, so he kept drinking with him.

Hu Mingyue only drank one glass of wine, and then spent the rest of the time serving them tea and wine.

In the third room next door, Zhao Laixi and Wang Cheng were also drinking.

Zhao Laixi put down his wine glass and stared directly at Wang Cheng: "I just received news that Li Mingzhu took her son to England. What do you think?"

Wang Cheng paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Chairman, do you think there's something fishy going on here? However, it is indeed a bit unusual for Li Mingzhu to take her son to England."

In his memory, Li Mingzhu's attitude towards Wang Peng was almost pathological; wherever Wang Peng went, she wanted to follow him everywhere.

Zhao Laixi sneered: "I suspect that Wang Peng knows we are monitoring him, so he sent his wife and children abroad to fight us."

"That's impossible." Wang Cheng hurriedly shook his head: "Besides the two of us, is anyone else aware of this all-around surveillance of Wang Peng?"

Zhao Laixi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's just the two of us. Wang Cheng, why would he know about this?"

Wang Cheng's heart sank. He felt that Zhao Laixi was doubting him, which made him very unhappy.

But he didn't dare show it, and said with a smile, "I think there's a mole in our security team. We should secretly investigate those security guards, especially that Zhuang Hua."

“Xiao Zhuang?” Zhao Laixi immediately shook his head. “Everyone else could be bribed by Wang Peng, but Zhuang Hua is the only one who won’t.”

He recalled the time at the Tang family home when Wang Peng slapped Zhuang Hua and swaggered at him. That slap was really hard; it had even mangled Zhuang Hua's lip.

Wang Cheng whispered, "I always felt that Zhuang Huabei and Wang Peng's attack was a ruse. Like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one was willing to hit, and the other was willing to..."

"Bullshit!" Zhao Laixi glanced at him coldly, pointing to his own eyes, "These eyes of mine have been on the battlefield, they're very good at judging people."

"Oh, maybe I'm overthinking it," Wang Cheng quickly apologized. Since Zhao Laixi was behaving this way, it meant he was already angry.

Zhao Laixi nodded: "Arrange for someone to secretly bring out all the bodyguards, except for the four people around me."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Wang Cheng nodded in agreement, but inwardly he was sneering.

He felt that Zhao Laixi was a stubborn and self-willed person who thought he could control everything, but in reality, he was just a senile old man.

Zhao Laixi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Cheng, work hard with me, and I won't treat you badly in the future."

Wang Cheng hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhao Laixi: "Chairman, please rest assured, I will do my best."

“Okay,” Zhao Laixi said. “Wang Peng’s No. 5 store is about to open. You should compete with him first.”
