An hour or so later, Xue Huzi came running back. "Sigh, it's all taken care of. I had them keep watch on the outside. When the police arrive tomorrow morning, it will only be our people here."
"Okay, I think it's almost cleaned up inside. It should be able to hold its own tomorrow. You go in and rest first. Tell the people inside to be vigilant and to rotate shifts every hour. We can't let our guard down tonight."
Xue Huzi nodded and was about to go inside when he suddenly realized that Yue Lanxing was still standing outside. He turned back to find him, "Brother Yue, aren't you going in?"
"I'm not going in, the smell of blood is too strong," Yue Lanxing replied casually.
Xue Huzi looked inside the door in surprise. Everything was almost tidied up. He didn't expect Yue Ge to care about these things. "Okay, the locks on the rooms next to mine aren't locked. You can go into those rooms and take a nap."
Yue Lanxing looked up at the night sky and nodded casually to indicate that he understood. After Xue Huzi left, he focused more intently on the stars, wondering if the young lady was asleep yet.
"Miss, you've checked this data three times already, and it's different every time." Xiao Nan was still in the study accompanying Xu Zhaoyue as she worked. She was sorry that the data for tomorrow's report had been delayed, and she had been working overtime until now.
Xu Zhaoyue was also puzzled, "Yeah, I've calculated it three times and it still doesn't match up. Where did things go wrong?"
Seeing the doubtful look on her young mistress's face, Xiao Nan stepped forward mysteriously and said, "Miss, you're not feeling well, are you? Are you worried about Butler Yue?"
Xu Zhaoyue was touched by what she said, and her fair face immediately turned pink. She blushed and said shyly, "No, I'm just worried about all of them, not just him."
"Don't worry, Miss. Butler Yue has trained only the elite." Xiao Nan wanted to reassure her mistress, and after thinking about it, this was the only way to comfort her. She should let her mistress go to sleep first.
Just as Xiaonan was thinking of her words, a maid came to report, "Young Miss, Xu Dachuan has arrived and wants to see you."
Xu Zhaoyue and Xiao Nan exchanged a glance. "What's he doing here?" Xiao Nan muttered, but both she and Xu Zhaoyue knew that the commotion at the Xu family mansion today was quite significant, and Xu Dachuan's presence at this time was already a testament to his forbearance.
"Miss, I'll go and make him leave. We can talk about everything tomorrow." Xiao Nan walked towards the door, wanting to refuse Xu Dachuan.
"No need, go and let him in." Xu Zhaoyue first raised her hand to stop Xiao Nan's movement, but decided to let Xu Dachuan in anyway. "It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. I'm fine now anyway, let him in. Don't put it off until tomorrow."
Xu Zhaoyue didn't want Yue Lanxing and the others to have to deal with Xu Dachuan's interrogation after they returned, so she decided to resolve the matter herself first.
Xiao Nan was still worried about her mistress's condition, but seeing her attitude, she didn't try to persuade her any further. So she went out and invited Xu Dachuan in. Xu Dachuan followed Xiao Nan in, his face flushed.
Xiao Nan deliberately stood a little closer to Miss Li and made a gesture of covering her nose towards Xu Zhaoyue.
"Young Miss!" Xu Dachuan entered and bowed first, looking very sincere, but Xu Zhaoyue could clearly feel the anger in his heart. She could smell some alcohol in his breath. His polite manners on the surface were just for a better performance later.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded, her face showing no emotion. "It's so late, you didn't come to see me for something trivial, did you?"
Xu Dachuan trembled slightly under the young lady's incredibly calm gaze. He paused for a moment before speaking, "Butler Yue took several of his men out today. It wasn't a big deal, but all the guns in the storeroom are gone."
"So I came to report to Miss. I wonder if Miss knows about this?" Xu Dachuan spoke with a slight lisp, having finished his drink before daring to come.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded indifferently, "I know, I arranged this. It seems you did a good job checking the warehouse, at least you know the gun is gone."
Xu Dachuan was a little confused and couldn't tell whether the young lady was praising him or mocking him, so he could only continue speaking according to his own train of thought, "I had discovered that they were secretly training before, but I didn't expect them to take the guns away today."
"No matter what tasks the young lady assigned them in private, she should at least have informed me. I can't control them anymore." Her words revealed a hint of grievance.
Xu Zhaoyue was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Xu Dachuan to come over and not immediately confront her. "I only asked them to do it so as not to distract you. You are already busy with mundane matters, managing the security of the Xu family mansion."
“I won’t let those carefree people go. Do you think you can leave your wife and children behind? Guns don’t have eyes, but you have to consider your family too.” Xu Zhaoyue seemed to be thinking of Xu Dachuan, which was why she didn’t let him go.
Xu Dachuan stood there thinking, and it seemed that what the young lady said made sense. He already had children, and if he continued to work as hard as before, what would happen if something went wrong?
Xu Zhaoyue mentally calculated his age; he was almost forty. When she was seven or eight years old, Xu Dachuan was the one who took her to school. Back then, he was the bodyguard you had to look up to, and now he's an old man in charge of security for the entire Xu family mansion.
"Don't worry, once the road is cleared, these people will all be stationed on the road. You will still be needed to look after the mansion. Who knows the guard arrangements of the mansion better than you?"
Xu Zhaoyue gave him another boost of confidence. Whether he was persuaded or did it voluntarily, Xu Zhaoyue was giving him face.
"How old are your children? I remember your family all live outside, right? You drank tonight and aren't you going home yet? Your family must be waiting for you!" Xu Zhaoyue raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch.
