Of course, handling the affairs of the Li Group is a minor matter; showing off his wife in public is the core of Tingye's work!
The news that Li Zhanting had been praising Gu Momo so lavishly at the group company eventually reached Gu Momo's ears. She was applying a face mask when she heard her daughter tilting her head and telling her about it, and she almost jumped off her makeup chair.
"Sweetie, what did you say? What do you mean by showing off your love?"
"Of course it's Daddy~ Mommy, you don't know, Daddy has become a wife-bragging maniac now! Mommy is so amazing, he can't wait to talk about it all the time. He makes sure every subordinate who reports to him reads it and gives a comment!" Sweetie said while fiddling with the Lego in front of her.
Gu Momo felt her blood pressure rise instantly, and just thinking about that scene made her blush!
This is ridiculous! How can you show off your wife like this?
She took off her face mask and walked into the lobby. It felt nice to be pampered, but was it really necessary to be this over the top?
Sweetie immediately stopped what she was doing, her eyelashes fluttering like little brushes: "Mommy, where are you going?"
"Let's go for a walk to relax!"
“But Daddy said he’ll be back for dinner tonight and told us to wait for him!” Sweetie emphasized. She had overheard Aunt Qin instructing the servants when she went downstairs this morning.
"Okay! Mommy will just wander around the Li family's area. Sweetie, you can play by yourself for a while."
Gu Momo came out of the back garden of the main villa and looked at the endless green grassland in front of her, which was no different from a golf course. However, no matter how long Gu Momo had been in the Li family, there were actually many places she had never been to.
The main reason is that the Li family's residence is too large, like a magnificent garden palace. Gu Momo is too busy with her work every day to have a proper look around.
Li Zhanting lives in the main villa, and behind it are some smaller villas, which are generally used for his private doctor and trusted subordinates, so that they can respond to Li Zhanting's call at any time.
Gu Momo followed the stone path along the lawn and unknowingly arrived at a small villa. A warning sign at the entrance read "Training Area, Entry Prohibited for Non-Special Personnel".
Gu Momo had heard Li Zhanting mention before that he had a very powerful special forces unit under his command, almost all of whom were the best mercenaries. These people were mostly used as auxiliary personnel for the Dark Night Alliance, specializing in handling the aftermath and assassination missions.
Of course, such assassinations are also based on dealing with black organizations like the Dark Moon Organization and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, and the missions are extremely confidential.
The courtyard is surrounded by walls, making it impossible to see inside.
"Who goes there!"
Gu Momo didn't want to disturb them and was about to leave when the door suddenly opened. In just three seconds, she was surrounded by a group of people.
These people were dressed in military boots, black tight-fitting quick-drying shirts and work pants, looking clean and efficient.
Soon, a man and a woman who were leading the group came out of the hall.
Gu Momo knew this man; his name was Yu Ye, and he had become a high-ranking leader in a certain department in the capital at a young age.
However, during a training exercise, a misjudgment led to the deaths of three new recruits. Furthermore, other forces within the Special Operations Department deliberately amplified his mistake, resulting in his removal from his post and subsequent disappearance from public view.
Unexpectedly, he ended up working under Li Zhanting, specifically in Li Zhanting's special operations unit.
Gu Momo had never seen the woman next to him before.
Upon seeing her, Yu Ye's previously sharp expression softened. He immediately stood tall and straightened his posture, looking directly at her, and said:
"This is... Miss Momo!"
The Special Operations Department operates in secrecy, and its missions are classified. Therefore, communications are blocked and outside information is restricted. Apart from receiving missions assigned by Li Zhanting, they have very little contact with the outside world. Some people have not even had the chance to meet Gu Momo herself.
However, he had a good relationship with Mo Feng and had heard some things about Gu Momo. Just yesterday, he even received a video from Mo Feng of Gu Momo giving a speech at a forum.
Upon hearing that she was Gu Momo, the men surrounding her immediately clenched their fists, nodded, and greeted her in unison, "Greetings, Madam!"
Gu Momo gave an awkward twitch of her lips and said with a smile, "You're too kind. I was just passing by, nothing more. I won't disturb your training. You can continue, I'll go take a walk around the neighborhood."
She turned to leave.
"Halt!" The female leader, who had been silent for a while, spoke coldly. "Do you think this training ground is a place you can come and go as you please? Don't you know that the Special Operations Department is always poorly regulated and never allows anyone to enter or leave?!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ye, who was standing to the side, warned in a low voice, "Instructor He, what are you doing? This is Miss Momo, who will be Master Ting's wife in the future! How dare you talk to her like that? Apologize to Miss Momo right now."
The female leader seemed to chuckle, then calmly turned her gaze to Gu Momo, a graceful smile on her face:
"Captain Yu, it's true that this special forces unit is under your jurisdiction, but I am also an instructor appointed by Master Ting. Our special forces unit has always acted according to the rules. Even if it's Master Ting's wife, trespassing is trespassing. Even if Master Ting himself comes, I still dare to say this!"
"Moreover, our Special Operations Department carries out classified missions, almost completely isolated from the outside world. Even if someone from the Dark Night Alliance breaks in, they are punished according to the Dark Night Alliance's internal rules. Why is Gu Momo an exception? As the future wife of the Li family, shouldn't she set an example? Otherwise, how will she gain the respect of Master Ting's brothers in the future?!"
