Chapter 150 Return (End of the Main Text)
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shunian sat in a chair, deep in thought. The room was dark and silent.
Zhao Shunian has faced many death threats. The most frequent one, and the first time he felt the presence of death, was when he was eighteen years old and went to a war-torn area to volunteer.
Zhao Shunian's trip was a matter of chance. When his family learned he had already reached his destination, they repeatedly ordered him to return. He disappeared that time, losing contact with them for a while. This was part of his rebellious phase, escaping their surveillance and defying their control. He even felt the pleasure of rebelling against his family.
Amidst rubble and raging artillery fire, Zhao Shunian experienced everything, feeling his suffering was nothing but a whimper in the face of life itself. Saving his own life and saving others became his daily mission.
After two months of volunteering, Zhao Shunian left. He had transformed, his youthful innocence fading, and he became incredibly cherishing and valuing life. This was one of the reasons why, after a conflict with Yu Yin, upon hearing that she was in danger, he immediately and unconditionally compromised and reconciled with her.
Zhao Shunian's keen perception of this death threat also stems from his experience in a war-torn zone when he was young.
A few days ago, Zhao Shunian's residence was targeted by thieves, but they were discovered and caught before they could enter. Zhao Shunian originally did not live here, but because of the wildfire, he temporarily moved to another place.
After the meeting on how to deal with Lehman-related matters, Zhao Shunian and President Fogg had a private chat. President Fogg complained that the public security problem had become serious due to the wildfire. It turned out that his residence was almost visited by thieves. They lived very close to each other.
Zhao Shunian sensed something was amiss and decided to scout out the area, testing the safety of his residence. He felt a sense of apprehension, and he tightened security measures at his residence.
Before returning home, Zhao Shunian prepared to go to another place with President Fogg. He also planned to have a short meeting and discussion with several people on the private plane, and then go straight to the final meeting after landing.
Before leaving, Zhao Shunian couldn't help but think of the attempted theft and felt uneasy. Almost no one survived the plane crash. If they, the leaders of the division of Lehman, were on the same plane, they would be caught in one fell swoop. The previous negotiation with Lehman was also extremely intense.
Zhao Shunian decided not to attend the meeting on the plane and expressed his concerns to them.
They said he was being overly cautious, saying the probability of a plane crash was very low, and even if one did occur, many people would still choose to fly. Ferg's president also said he had instructed everyone to make thorough preparations, that the testing was clear, and that he also prioritized safety in this area.
Zhao Shunian trusted his intuition very much and believed that this was the body's self-protection reaction to danger. His strong sense of responsibility for life made him insist on changing his itinerary and not attending the meeting.
Without Zhao Shunian, the meeting was missing its key figure, and thus could not proceed. Of the final group, only the president and two senior executives of Fogg boarded the private jet. The others chose not to board, agreeing to discuss the matter at their destination.
Zhao Shunian decided to take a car instead, preferring the harder journey to a plane. He instructed his subordinates to carefully inspect the vehicle; he would not board until he was sure it was correct.
Finally, it was the bodyguard's car that was detected to have a problem. It was difficult for outsiders to tamper with Zhao Shunian's car because it needed to be carefully inspected every time it was used.
This question made Zhao Shunian's alarm bells ring. It was not that he was suspicious, but that someone really wanted to attack him.
Various tests and investigations were initiated, and Zhao Shunian secretly moved to another safe residence. During this period, he also encountered a dangerous situation. It happened that Yu Yin sent him a message at that time. Because the message banner only showed "You received 1 message", he was about to open it to see what the content was, and he discovered the danger... He chose to lose contact in order to test the person behind the scenes and for his own safety.
Despite the deaths of Fogg's president and two senior executives, Fogg still had someone in charge. Zhao Shunian was also safe and present at the final meeting. Lehman's decline was unstoppable. After the original Great Shark was injured, he was ruthlessly devoured by two other Great Sharks.

Zhao Shunian returned to Hushan Villa. He was eager to see Yu Yin, but before he even entered the main building, he saw Ms. Li, which surprised him.
When Ms. Li saw Zhao Shunian, her uneasy heart finally settled down. Although she already knew that he was fine, it was still more real to see him in person.
Ms. Li approached, repeatedly questioning and showing concern for Zhao Shunian. Zhao Shunian didn't show any impatience, answering every question she asked. It was a rare moment of affection between the two of them, a mother and a son.
They entered the main building. Zhao Shunian didn't see Yu Yin in the living room, so he finally asked Ms. Li the question that had been on his mind: "Why are you here? Why don't you see Yu Yin?"
"She is walking in the garden. Go and ask her, and you will know what it is."
Zhao Shunian suddenly had a premonition, but he was not very sure. He thought that maybe because he had been spending more time with Yu Yin, his imagination had become richer.
In the garden, Yu Yin and Yu Meimei were sitting on a bench, chatting. Yu Meimei was the first to notice Zhao Shunian coming over.
She said, "Madam, the husband is back."
Yu Yin watched the man she had been thinking about day and night stride towards her, tears streaming down her face again. She wondered why she couldn't control her tears lately, crying at the slightest sadness.
While she was confused, Yu Meimei had already left, giving her and Zhao Shunian space to get along.
Yu Yin said with tears in her eyes: "You are back."
"I'm back." Zhao Shunian placed his palm on Yu Yin's wet cheek and gently wiped her tears with his thumb.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"I'm not hurt. I'm not lying to you. It's true."
Zhao Shunian leaned over and picked up Yu Yin horizontally. Yu Yin hugged him tightly as before.
Zhao Shunian kissed her hair, and she kept staring at him intently. He carried her to the sun room.
Zhao Shunian put Yu Yin on the sofa in the sunroom, and Yu Yin subconsciously protected her stomach.
He also noticed Yu Yin's behavior. He felt a sense of helplessness that he hadn't felt in a long time. He asked uncertainly, "Are we having a child?"
"Yeah." Yu Yin raised her head slightly to look at Zhao Shunian. He didn't look overjoyed. She asked, "Don't you like it?"
This was indeed an unexpected big prize. Zhao Shunian felt that he needed to calm down and figure out which link had gone wrong, but he didn't have time to think calmly at the moment.
Yu Yin expected that Zhao Shunian would be the second person in the family to know that she was pregnant, but reality is often inconsistent with expectations. His grandfather and parents already knew, but he was the last one to know.
Zhao Shunian sat next to Yu Yin. "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it was too sudden. I didn't react for a while, so I need some time to digest it."
Yu Yin agreed and said, "When I found out I was pregnant, I had a similar reaction. I originally wanted to wait for you to come back so we could face it together, but now I've accepted it and I'm looking forward to being a mother. Do you ever think of asking me to abort the baby?"
Yu Yin's face changed faster than a baby's, and she bombarded Zhao Shunian with sharp questions one after another.
Zhao Shunian gently placed his palm on Yu Yin's lower abdomen. Yu Yin looked at his cautious actions and her mood improved. She placed her hand on the back of his hand, and he immediately held her hand again, lingering tenderly.
Their fingers interlocked and rested on Yu Yin's lower abdomen. Zhao Shunian finally answered her question: "I wouldn't have such irresponsible thoughts."
"I have no experience in managing a marriage and getting along with my wife. I have been groping my way through this and made mistakes. I am also inexperienced in being a father and don't know what the future holds. Yu Yin, you must stay with me. I can't live without you." Zhao Shunian put his other hand around Yu Yin's shoulder, and the two of them leaned very close to each other. He sincerely expressed his feelings to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin took the initiative to kiss Zhao Shunian's jaw and said softly, "Shunian, I am also inexperienced and confused. You have to accompany me and help me. I need you."
"I will."
Zhao Shunian lowered his head and kissed Yu Yin, who subconsciously kissed him back. Gradually, they became passionate again, their kisses becoming inseparable.
