Luo Qingyuan spoke calmly, but Duan Ye could smell the gunpowder.
It was as if Luo Qingyuan would do something if he ever had this thought.
Nevertheless, Duan Ye said, "I will keep my word."
"Qingyuan, we have a long future ahead of us."
Luo Qingyuan smiled then, her voice even gentler than before: "You sleep for a while, we'll get off the highway and grab something to eat before going home."
Duan Ye nodded: "Then drive carefully."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Of course, I'm your personal driver."
So Duan Ye went to sleep without worry.
Luo Qingyuan gripped the steering wheel more firmly, glanced at Duan Ye, and silently turned on the car's heater.
At this moment, in the study of the Duan family in Shanghai.
A man with a dignified appearance handed the stack of documents to Duan Jiancheng.
"Sir, this is a requirement from the military. All information about your family must be reported and made transparent. So... please forgive us for inquiring about your granddaughter-in-law's information without our consent."
Duan Jiancheng was already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that his men would be so fast.
Duan Jiancheng: "I've already retired, so please stop calling me 'commander.' I understand the orders from my superiors, and you're just following orders, which I understand."
As he spoke, Duan Jiancheng picked up his reading glasses from his desk: "I know my granddaughter-in-law perfectly well. She's just a white-collar worker. What's there to investigate? They're just too cautious..."
"To be honest, you're all still young. Don't stay by this old man's side. In a while, I'll personally go to the military region and have those bastards transfer you all back. Young people should be making a name for themselves, not following an old man like me..."
Halfway through his sentence, Duan Jiancheng stopped talking and instead began to seriously look at the documents.
The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
After a long half hour, Duan Jiancheng put down his reading glasses and the documents.
Wang Zezhong: "Chief, there is another document about Luo Qingyuan's brother abroad, Luo Shuyang. In addition, all the companies and forces under the Luo family will be delivered here tonight."
Duan Jiancheng's face unusually stern: "That brat Duan Ye! And Duan Sheng, what is he doing?!"
Wang Zezhong: "Sir, after our investigation, your son and grandson do not know Luo Qingyuan's true identity."
Duan Jiancheng quickly calmed down: "What orders do you have from above?"
Wang Zezhong: "Because the Luo family is involved in too many businesses, and her brother has a complicated background, we have not yet thoroughly investigated Luo Shuyang's background. Therefore, the higher-ups suspect that the Luo family may be deliberately getting close to Duan Ye in order to achieve some kind of demand."
"Our team has been dispatched to Luo Shuyang's location and should be able to find out his background and details soon. You can rest assured for now, sir."
"The higher-ups hope that the leader can figure out the Luo family's true purpose."
"The May Day holiday will be a great opportunity. At that time, that person will come here in person to meet with Luo Qingyuan. Your safety is of paramount importance. The military attaches great importance to this and will add more bodyguards to your team."
Upon hearing that he would be adding bodyguards, Duan Jiancheng's face darkened.
"I'm already retired. Don't you know what retirement means?"
Wang Zezhong looked troubled and was about to continue speaking when Duan Jiancheng said, "Alright, I'm getting a headache from listening to you nagging every day. Isn't that brat coming? When he arrives, I'll talk to him myself."
Wang Zezhong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
Duan Jiancheng: "Alright, let's go back. What are you still doing here?"
Wang Zezhong immediately saluted and turned to leave.
Duan Jiancheng then sat back down and continued reading the documents that Wang Zezhong had put down later.
The first document is a background check on the Luo family, the most crucial part of which is Luo Qingyuan's past.
The second document, besides the background information that Luo Shuyang had not yet investigated, also detailed every little detail of Luo Qingyuan's acquaintance and friendship with Duan Ye in Kyoto.
This document is highly confidential; otherwise, it wouldn't have been delivered to him personally by Wang Zezhong in a paper copy.
If the Luo family has no problems, that's fine, but if the Luo family has any problems, this marriage agreement will be null and void.
Duan Jiancheng started to worry. He couldn't tell Duan Ye about this. Everything had to wait until the investigation team found out Luo Shuyang's background before considering anything else.
Duan Jiancheng didn't know the exact location of Duan Ye's two cousins, but if he remembered correctly, Duan Ye's eldest cousin had once led a team to carry out a high-level mission in Luo Shuyang's location.
Duan Ye is married now, and from the last phone call, he could tell that Duan Ye cared a lot about Luo Qingyuan.
He wasn't afraid of anything except that Luo Shuyang's background might be tainted, and he was even more afraid that Duan Ye's eldest cousin would clash with Luo Shuyang there.
Duan Jiancheng sighed, "What a tragedy..."
Where did Luo Qingyuan come from? Why so suddenly?
So it wasn't that little girl Ye Nuan?
Duan Jiancheng didn't want to pry into the privacy of the younger generation every day, but he had no choice; this personal information had to be transparent.
Duan Jiancheng was still thinking when Wang Zezhong came in again.
Duan Jiancheng: "Hmm?"
Wang Zezhong said somewhat awkwardly, "Sir, there's also... a file on your grandson, Duan Ze. The intelligence team checked it as well..."
Duan Jiancheng's eyes widened immediately: "What?"
Duan Jiancheng looked at the document again, then smashed it in anger: "The Shen family?!"
This is also a prominent family in Kyoto!
His two most obedient grandsons actually gave him such a big surprise?
Wang Zezhong: "Detailed information about the Shen family will also be delivered tonight."
Duan Jiancheng waved his hand with a headache: "Alright, alright, get out."
Wang Zezhong saluted: "Yes, sir, goodbye!"
Looking at the documents on the table, Duan Jiancheng touched his buzz cut and said with a puzzled expression, "These two kids, they're pretty good at finding things..."
Hopefully, both the Luo and Shen families will be clean and tidy.
Duan Jiancheng wasn't sure either; was this businessman really clean?
At this moment, Luo Qingyuan had no idea that the information she had painstakingly hidden had already been revealed to Old Man Duan, and the people below did not notice anything amiss.
At 11 a.m., Duan Ye was woken up by Luo Qingyuan.
"Wake up! Eat first, then we'll go home and sleep."
Duan Ye then woke up groggily.
Luo Qingyuan got out of the car first, then opened the car door for Duan Ye, who was still sitting in the passenger seat, looking a little dazed.
Luo Qingyuan bent down and waved her hand in front of him: "What's wrong? Are you still asleep?"
Duan Ye shook his head, frowned, and touched his chest: "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."
Luo Qingyuan quickly touched his head: "You don't have a fever. You're probably just too tired. You'll be fine after a rest."
Duan Ye nodded, then put his slight unease out of his mind.
"Okay, let's eat first! I'm starving!"
