the next day;
Wilding was woken up by the servant's knock on the door in a daze. He got up with a heavy head and went to ask.
Then he saw the servant with an embarrassed look on his face, stammering, "Master, Master Xing and the others are here, chatting with the Duke in the living room. Go down and take a look, the Duke seems very angry!"
From the visitor's stumbling retelling, Wilding seemed to be somewhat more sober.
After leaving Fu Linxiao's hotel yesterday, he did not go home immediately.
Instead, he went to the bar where the nobles usually gathered, hoping to try his luck and see if he could get any information about Amy from them.
But he had never been able to hold his liquor well, so he passed out after just a few drinks. However, there was no need to worry that he would tell anything, because Ding Yi had been following him in the dark, and if he saw that something was wrong with him, he would just take him away.
After the servant left, Wilding frantically searched for something until he found the black-screened phone in the corner of the sofa. He quickly connected the charger and ran to the bathroom to clean himself up. When he came out, all he saw was the number of missed calls and WeChat messages from 99jia on his phone.
When you click on them, they all come from the same person - Axing.
Wilding then remembered that he had sent a false military intelligence message to the young man yesterday, but he had completely forgotten about it the moment he turned around.
Who would have thought that this silly boy would rush here overnight and even disturb his father, the Duke. He didn't dare to think about the situation he would face next.
He went downstairs trembling with fear, and sure enough, as he reached the stairs, he saw his father sitting in the main seat with a serious face, and the red sandalwood cane that made him so afraid was placed beside him.
In the living room, in addition to Ah Xing, Fu Linxiao and the other three were also called over; Jiang Luoning obviously didn't wake up yet, staring at the man with a resentful look on his face.
Ah Xing was extremely angry when he saw the culprit who had been so carefree all night but had made him terrified.
"Wilding! You actually joked about the safety of your sister and brother-in-law! You think you're living too comfortably!"
Before he got close, he heard the boy's question. For some reason, the man's mind flashed back to the scene where he had made the little girl angry and was pricked by a needle. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and hurriedly spoke out to defend himself.
"No, that's not the case. Listen to me. Xiao Luoluo and the other two were indeed acting very strangely yesterday. I was so worried that I sent you a message, but later I found out it was all a misunderstanding. I was busy going to the bar to get some information and forgot to inform you."
Wilding's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. He knew that he was ultimately wrong in this matter, but when he saw Ah Xing's tangled hair and the white coat he had just taken off beside him, he found it inexplicably funny.
Seeing the mockery in Wilding's eyes, Ah Xing felt even more wronged.
The young man had been staying in the laboratory these days, planning to develop a new "secret weapon". In recent days, he was at the most critical moment, but after receiving the news from Wilding, he didn't even have time to change his clothes. He rushed to the airport and bought the nearest flight to Country A at a high price.
He couldn't contact Wilding at the airport, and he didn't dare to contact Jiang Luoning and the others without permission, for fear that his sudden disturbance would put them in a more dangerous situation.
Thinking back on his pitiful appearance along the way, Ah Xing instantly became dramatic again and began to chatter about how naive he was and how hateful Wilding was, making fun of the person he cared about the most.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with the boy's crying.
Jiang Luoning couldn't stand Ah Xing's unreasonable behavior when he got angry, and was also afraid that he would continue to act like this; the whole day would be wasted here, so he immediately cheered up and tried to dissuade the boy who wanted to argue.
"Okay, Wilding was just being kind yesterday and was too worried about us. Ah Xing, we're all fine, you can go back first!"
"Sister! I'll throw this away after you're done using it! I just landed and you're already kicking me out. I won't leave! I'm not leaving anymore and I'm relying on you guys!"
Jiang Luoning felt helpless when he saw Ah Xing's fighting spirit. He pushed the man beside him and signaled him to think of a solution.
Fu Linxiao understood that the little girl wanted Ah Xing to return to the imperial capital and did not want to involve him anymore; he could only continue to persuade her according to her words.
"Axing, we don't know how long we'll be staying here, so you should go back first; otherwise, the old man at home will definitely be worried if he finds out!"
"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I told them before I came! You went abroad to play without me, so I sneaked over to follow you. I can also report your situation to them at any time. Not only is Grandpa happy, but even Aunt and Big Brother are in favor!"
Before coming here, Ah Xing had anticipated that they would find a way to persuade him to leave, so he had already informed his family to prevent them from stopping him from staying.
Several people looked at each other, and no one was willing to give in; finally, it was Duke Watson who decided to let the young man stay, just to keep him and his wife company.
