Luo An and Xiao Wu felt even more sorrowful.
Xiao Wu: "Do you think... we should still go out?"
Luo An and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, then turned around at the same time, preparing to quietly go back to sleep.
But as soon as they turned around, Duan Ye's voice rang out: "You're already awake, where are you going?"
So, Luo An and Xiao Wu stopped, and John also pulled back the foot he had just stepped out with.
The three of them shook their hands somewhat awkwardly.
"Good morning..."
Duan Ye put his arm around Luo Qingyuan. Luo Qingyuan looked calm, but her bright red ears told her that her mood was not as calm as it seemed.
Luo Qingyuan: "Good morning, you guys chat, I'm going back to catch up on my sleep."
Duan Ye smiled and released Luo Qingyuan: "Go ahead, I do have something I need to talk to them about."
Luo Qingyuan nodded and then turned and left.
Duan Ye glanced at the three of them and said, "Come to the study."
The four of them walked towards the study together, and just as they were about to reach it, Duan Ye's phone rang.
Duan Ye glanced at the caller ID and stopped in his tracks: "You guys go first, my brother is in the study."
Xiao Wu nodded and led his men inside.
Duan Ye walked to the window and answered the phone.
Nanxing: "Um... how... how have you been lately?"
Duan Ye: "That's good. You should be back in Kyoto by now, right?"
"Yes, it's been almost a month since I got back. I've been transferred from the hospital to home to recuperate."
Duan Ye thought for a moment and said, "This whole thing happened because of me, so regarding work..."
Before Duan Ye could finish speaking, Nan Xing interrupted him: "I know that President Luo is my boss."
Although Nanxing had never really addressed this issue, Ye Nuan's incident had caused such a sensation that it was hard for her not to know about it.
Duan Ye fell silent for a rare moment.
"Nanxing, you protected me with your life. From now on, I will ensure your smooth career in the entertainment industry."
Nanxing just smiled and then said, "Well...didn't you protect me many times before?"
Duan Ye: "That's different."
Nanxing: "Same."
"Duan Ye, I don't want you to pay me back."
"I called you today not only to tell you that I'm home, but also to ask you to tell President Luo that I'm very grateful to her."
Nanxing knew very well that if Luo Qingyuan hadn't been her boss, she wouldn't have reached her current position at such a young age.
Duan Ye paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"I will tell her."
Nanxing chuckled and then said, "Don't feel too much pressure. I really like my life now."
"I'll treat you to a meal when you get back to Kyoto."
"As a good friend, I'm hosting this welcome dinner for you. You and your sister-in-law must give me face."
"This time, we can't keep making excuses."
Upon hearing this, Duan Ye smiled, and the awkward feeling in his heart seemed to vanish into thin air.
Duan Ye readily agreed: "Okay, your sister-in-law is still sleeping, I'll tell her later."
Just as I was about to hang up the phone.
Duan Ye still said those words: "Nanxing, although we can't go back to the past, I will always be your brother, and Qingyuan will always be your sister-in-law. No matter what happens, we will always be your strongest support."
Nanxing's heart clenched suddenly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still smiled and replied, "Yes, I know, brother."
Duan Ye: "Nanxing, I'll be waiting to see you off on your wedding day."
Duan Ye was on this side and couldn't see Nan Xing, so he didn't know that Nan Xing's tears had rolled down her cheeks after he said those words.
Nanxing: "Okay, brother, I'll go do other things now. Let's chat sometime."
Duan Ye: "Okay, goodbye."
After Duan Ye finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone, put his phone in his pocket, and went straight into the study.
Duan Ze and the others were studying Tiger Brother's power distribution map. Besides Xiao Wu and the others, there were two other people whose faces Duan Ye only recognized but whose names he did not know.
Duan Ye: "Continue, don't worry about me."
So, everyone continued their heated discussion.
At the same time, there was another knock on the study door.
Nanny Zhou: "Gentlemen, Officer Li and Officer Liu have arrived."
Duan Ze opened the door himself, and Li Wei and Xiao Liu walked in.
To everyone's surprise, both Li Wei and Xiao Liu had heavy bruises under their eyes.
Duan Ye: "What have you two been up to these past few days? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd gone to rob a place..."
Li Wei and Xiao Liu were both slumped on the sofa in the study, looking completely listless.
As Duan Ye spoke, he didn't forget to pour a glass of water for each of them.
Li Wei gulped down his drink before saying, "Brother Tiger hasn't been escorted back to Beijing yet; he's been stopped by the higher-ups."
Duan Ze: "What reason?"
Li Wei gets extremely angry whenever this is mentioned.
Xiao Liu: "This is not the most difficult thing. The difficult thing is that many people in Wenzhou have spontaneously petitioned on behalf of Brother Hu."
Li Wei: "People are blocking the entrances of various police stations every day, making it impossible for them to go to work normally. If we hadn't tried our best to suppress it, it probably would have made the news long ago."
Xiao Liu: "I'm really puzzled, why are so many people stopping Tiger?"
Li Wei sighed: "Executing Tiger is easy, but it's difficult for ordinary people."
"You're not from around here, so you might not know, but the reason Tiger is so hard to get rid of is because he has a very high reputation in the area. It's not just Yangjia Village; although Wenzhou is a small county, it still has a population of several million..."
Li Wei felt utterly exhausted when he talked about this.
