This is the root of Lu Shengye's anxiety.
The leak of the agreement suggests that something went wrong somewhere within the military region, and it might even have been intentional.
Commander Zheng's eyes sharpened, filled with both doubt and anger: "I will investigate this matter! But right now, the most urgent task is—"
He paused, looking into Lu Shengye's eyes, which were practically spitting fire. "Yang Guodong has taken up the sword of blood ties and is being aggressive. He's coming to pick us up next week; this isn't a discussion, it's a notification. We need to think of a solution quickly; legally, we're not in a position to go head-to-head with him."
"A child is not an object! What does he think this is? Going grocery shopping?"
Lu Shengye's voice suddenly rose, drawing the attention of soldiers in the distant corridor.
He suppressed the urge to rush in and drag Yang Guodong out, saying, "Dian Dian and Fan Xing are my children! No one can take them away from me!"
The concept of "home" was already firmly established in his heart, and Jiang Xuan and the two children were the cornerstone of this "home".
Commander Zheng looked at him, feeling both heartache and anxiety.
He reached out and patted Lu Shengye's strong arm hard: "Calm down, Lu! Fighting head-on won't solve anything, it'll only give them something to say about you being unreasonable. Go back and have a good talk with Jiang Xuan. Can you also think of a solution with the Yang family and your grandfather, Old Master Lu? He has a wide network of connections and sees things clearly. The most important thing is the child."
He emphasized the word "children".
"Dian Dian and Fan Xing are no longer innocent little children. They are six years old, have their own thoughts, and understand the difference between close and distant relationships!"
Commander Zheng's eyes hardened; this seemed to be their only clear breakthrough. "Legally, we might be in a passive position, but if the child strongly resists going with Yang Guodong, the judge will take the child's wishes into account when making the judgment! On the day the child was able to speak, didn't he first call out 'Dad'? That 'Dad' is the most powerful proof!"
“I understand, Commander.” Lu Shengye’s voice regained its military composure. “I will handle it. The Yang family won’t be able to take their people away so easily.”
After saying that, Lu Shengye turned and left.
The moment the door closed behind Lu Shengye, he strode through the military district corridor with a brisk pace, the words of Regiment Commander Zheng, "The child's own strong resistance is the most powerful proof," echoing repeatedly in his mind.
At home, Hu Tao went out to buy things, while Jiang Xuan was suppressing her anxiety and playing with Dian Dian and Fan Xing.
Fanxing said, "Mom, you folded it wrong here."
Jiang Xuan snapped out of her daze, "Oh, Mom, fold it again."
Fanxing was unusually perceptive; she hugged Jiang Xuan's neck and whispered, "Mommy, are you unhappy today?"
"No, Mom just didn't sleep well and is a little sleepy."
"Mom, go to sleep now. My brother and I will play together."
Lu Diandian, unusually, didn't get angry and said, "Okay, you go to sleep. I'll take my sister to play in the yard."
Jiang Xuan nodded.
She was in a state of turmoil, not knowing when Lu Shengye would be able to return.
She knew that these two children were Lu Shengye's life.
She took out a pen and tried to distract herself by drawing a design draft, but after staring at the paper for a long time, she couldn't draw anything.
She put down her pen and walked out of the room.
At that moment, Zhou Dongmei came in.
"Jiang Xuan, what are you busy with?"
"I'm not busy, Sister Mei, come in and sit down."
"Did you have guests over today?"
"No."
"Then why did I just see a male colleague take Dian Dian and Fan Xing out?"
Jiang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. "Sorry, Sister Mei, I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Let's talk again next time."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."
Jiang Xuan rushed out of the courtyard in a hurry. They hadn't gone far and were about to cross the road.
"stop."
Jiang Xuan felt a rush of blood to her head. She mustered all her strength and rushed over, grabbing Dian Dian Fan Xing and then looking at the greasy-haired man.
"Who are you? Where are you taking my child?"
Yang Guodong looked Jiang Xuan up and down and gave her a lecherous smile.
Jiang Xuan almost threw up.
Fanxing said, "Mom, Uncle Yang is Dad's friend. He's going to take us to the amusement park to find Dad."
Yang Guodong nodded politely to Jiang Xuan and said, "Hello, I'm a good friend of Battalion Commander Lu. Yang Guodong, you must be my sister-in-law?"
Jiang Xuan said coldly, "I'm sorry, I've never heard Sheng Ye mention your name before."
“We’ve known each other since we were little, but I’ve always lived in another city and never visited you. However, we’ve always kept in touch through letters.”
"Yeah?"
Yang Guodong chuckled. "Sister-in-law, why do you seem hostile towards me?"
Jiang Xuan pulled Dian Dian and Fan Xing aside, stepped forward and grabbed Yang Guodong, "Hate? You snatched my child in broad daylight. I won't believe you until I hand you over to the police today."
Yang Guodong angrily shoved Jiang Xuan away, "What human trafficker? What nonsense are you spouting? Let me tell you the truth, I am the children's maternal uncle, and my mother wants to see her grandson and granddaughter."
Dian Dian and Fan Xing looked at each other, their little faces scrunched up.
My maternal uncle?
Jiang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Why did he come knocking on our door so quickly?
Dian Dian ran over and shoved him, "Didn't you just say you were my dad's friend? Now you're my uncle, who are you anyway?"
Fanxing also said, "So you're a liar."
Then, with a downcast face, she apologized to Jiang Xuan: "I'm sorry, Mom, we were almost tricked by this bad person."
“Bad guy? Hey, kids, I’m your uncle. Do you know that Lu Shengye isn’t your biological father at all?”
"Are the six years you've been absent enough to explain this 'bad guy'?" Lu Shengye walked over, protecting the child, his words as cold as ice.
Yang Guodong's face turned ashen. He reached out to snatch the child, but Lu Shengye twisted his wrists behind his back and pinned him against the wall: "Dare to use violence in my house? You try it!"
He winced in pain, "Hey, let go of me! Do you believe I'll sue you in court? I don't believe the court won't give me custody of the child."
"Go ahead and do it. Custody? Ha! My Lu family will settle the score with you in court! As for the leak, don't try to say it has nothing to do with you."
Actually, the leak hasn't been fully investigated yet, but based on his intuition, Lu Shengye felt that this man was definitely involved.
He thought he could trick him, and to his surprise, Yang Guodong was indeed a little flustered.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not from the military region, how would I know about your confidentiality agreement? If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll sue you for defamation."
Jiang Xuan ran over and kicked him hard. "You're about to die, what are you still being so arrogant about? Go ahead and sue me, whoever doesn't is a coward."
Yang Guodong's pupils shrank sharply, and his arrogance vanished instantly: "You, you guys, don't be so smug! I, I have people above me too!"
"We'll see about that." Lu Shengye sneered and shoved him away. "Get lost. If I see you barging into this yard again, don't blame me for being impolite."
