Gu Beiwang wasn't unwilling to know what his son meant, but his son had gone to so much trouble to call him, so he figured he'd find out eventually.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, as long as you know your limits. I'll talk to the old man myself."
"Thanks, take care and come back as soon as possible, otherwise you might not make it in time."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Dan's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced around and thankfully found himself alone in the office.
Actually, it's not impossible for the father and son to each take a step back and say a kind word to each other.
But, what can you do when both of them are equally stubborn?
When two people are at odds, neither side is likely to admit defeat prematurely.
On the other hand, Gu Beiwang's return journey was delayed because he suddenly took in a few unruly children. Currently, his adjutant is coordinating with the local government and military regarding helicopters.
Ye Yuerui and the others, on the other hand, obediently ate and drank their fill, then found a tent and slept soundly.
For these young noblemen, this experience was nothing short of unprecedented; it was the greatest torment of their lives, the kind that could easily cost them their lives.
I'm afraid the shadow will stay with me for the rest of my life.
...
At the same moment.
The Ye family in Kyoto also received two messages, one of which came from someone sent by Ye Yutang to Xiangcheng:
The second young master of the Ye family encountered pirates at sea and went missing!
Secondly, there was news from Gu Beiwang's side: the person has been found, and is with me. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him for you. That's roughly the gist of it.
So, Old Master Ye's heart was just swinging back and forth like it was on a swing...
He's in and out of the meeting.
"It's good that everyone's alright, it's good that everyone's alright..." Old Master Ye's legs were still weak.
Meanwhile, Ye Lao Er (Second Brother Ye) didn't show much reaction from the second branch of the Ye family, but his wife, Su Wen, started chattering incessantly:
"I told you, we shouldn't have agreed to let Xiao Rui go to Xiangcheng in the first place. Now look what happened."
It was only because I met that person from the Gu family that I was able to escape; otherwise, who knows what the consequences would have been!
That child, not too old, not too young either, how can he be so clueless? Xiangcheng is not like our inland area, it's very chaotic now.
They say they used to be business people, but what's the truth? Who knows if they were just swindlers in the past?
Su Wen's words were undeniably excessive, and even carried a strong sense of crushing criticism.
That's true. Although Ye Yuerui is from the second wife's family, she is not Su Wen's biological child. She is the child born to Ye Lao Er's ex-wife. Su Wen is just a stepmother, so how could she possibly like the child?
I'm afraid that if something really happens to Ye Yuerui this time, this woman won't shed a single tear; instead, she'll probably laugh heartily.
The ex's son, what is that?
A thorn in my side, a thorn in my flesh!
They wish they could just disappear immediately!
Over the years, Su Wen had considered doing something, but firstly, the Ye family still had an old man, and Ye Er was very filial to his father. In the face of matters of principle, he would never disobey his father, let alone be foolish enough to gamble with the Ye family's past.
Secondly, the siblings had a good relationship with their uncle since childhood, and Su Wen, out of consideration for his sister, dared not provoke Ye Yutang.
On the contrary, in the Ye family, only Ye Lao Er and her own daughter treated Su Wen well. Everyone else, including the servants, were only polite on the surface over the years, but in reality, they never acknowledged her existence.
