The only thing that makes Li Xiangdong feel relieved now is that neither Guo Yuxi nor Li Guoqing are love-obsessed.
Therefore, Guo Yuxi quickly agreed to the proposal to keep Xue Yuyu calm and wait for Gui Yuhe's final investigation results.
According to the original work schedule, Li Guoqing was supposed to return to Qianjiang County, and Guo Yuxi should have been busy in western Sichuan.
However, since He Xiaohong and Xue Yuyu happened to appear, Li Xiangdong simply gave Li Guoqing and Guo Yuxi a long vacation.
Guo Yuxi was so anxious that she complained to Li Xiangdong in the middle of the night.
"Second brother, the distillery is waiting for me! When can I go back?"
He really didn't want to face Xue Ran anymore.
That old geezer is such a troublemaker.
So, during the month he stayed in Lijiapo, he actually took a fancy to Aunt Chunhua and shamelessly went to her every day.
He felt truly ashamed.
Li Xiangdong was also anxious, wondering why Gui Yuhe hadn't returned yet.
Although Gui Yuhe was ostensibly Yu Shi's bodyguard, everyone knew his true identity.
This is the person Liu Donglai left for Li Xiangdong.
Of course, if anything major happens to Li Xiangdong, Liu Donglai will likely find out through Gui Yu and Ma Shang.
Therefore, given Gui Yuhe's connections and resources, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to investigate the background of Song Deyi and Xue Yuyu.
Details such as Jiang Li and Xue Yuyu, mother and daughter, betraying Zhou Yicheng and reconciling with their ex-husbands, were uncovered in just three days.
Just as he was getting anxious, Li Guoqing hurriedly walked in.
"Second brother! Second brother!"
Li Guoqing looked anxious, and his steps were a little unsteady.
"What happened?"
Li Xiangdong hurried over to greet them.
"Brother Gui was injured, and he happened to run into Doctor Gu on the road. He's at my house now."
Li Xiangdong's head went blank for a moment. Without thinking, he grabbed his car keys and hurriedly headed to Li Guoqing's house.
Guo Yuxi quickly followed.
————
Li Guoqing's home.
Gui Yuhe took off his shirt, revealing his muscular, bronze-colored upper body. His left shoulder was already bandaged with white gauze.
Dr. Gu was packing his medicine kit nearby.
Li Xiangdong lifted the curtain, frowned as he examined Gui Yuhe's injuries closely, and then asked Doctor Gu, "Is this injury serious? Do we need to go to the hospital immediately?"
Gui Yuhe's face was a little pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
Dr. Gu nodded. "This is a gunshot wound. The bullet has been removed, but the wound wasn't treated properly and it's a bit infected. I've already treated it for him. It would be best if he went to the hospital for another checkup."
"A gunshot wound?!"
Li Xiangdong gasped.
He wasn't surprised to see gunshot wounds these days, since guns weren't banned yet, and almost every household in the countryside owned a hunting rifle.
What puzzled him was that, given Gui Yuhe's skills, someone could actually hurt him.
Gui Yuhe was a little embarrassed. "I was careless."
He was indeed a bit careless.
Originally, I wanted to investigate Song Deyi, but I didn't expect that this guy would have such close ties with a foreign trading company.
Song Deyi's business was not simply a timber business, but involved serious illegal activities such as human trafficking, organ trafficking, and the resale of national cultural relics.
This injury was also inflicted by a Japanese person.
Judging from that person's skills, he was definitely a trained fighter.
Li Xiangdong was stunned.
He initially thought it was a scam, a fraudulent scheme designed to swindle money from them.
It's truly unbelievable that foreign forces were involved in this.
Now that things have reached this point, it's beyond what Li Xiangdong and his group can handle.
Gui Yuhe had already reported to his superiors before returning.
Guo Yuxi was quite excited to hear this, and kept asking Gui Yu whether the great sacrifices they had made counted as meritorious service.
Li Xiangdong finally felt relieved.
When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.
He's small and thin, so he can just stay in the back.
————
He Xiaohong's left eye has been twitching a bit these past two days.
Sticking white paper strips on doesn't work at all.
Just as she was feeling upset, Li Guoqing returned.
"Are you done with work?"
Li Guoqing nodded. "You didn't go out today? Don't stay cooped up at home all the time. There's a trade fair going on right now, with ring toss games and circus performances. It's so much fun!"
He Xiaohong suddenly felt that Li Guoqing had become exceptionally handsome.
Especially when she was talking to me just now, her whole face looked particularly captivating in the soft light of the setting sun.
Her heart softened terribly, and her voice became gentle, "It's pointless to blame yourself."
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow?"
"OK!"
He Xiaohong cheered, then immediately asked cautiously, "Aren't you busy?"
"There's nothing to be busy with, and I don't have any business here."
"Oh~ You don't have any shares in any of the many companies Li Xiangdong has established?"
Li Guoqing's gaze suddenly sharpened.
What company did Xiang Dong establish?
He Xiaohong seemed oblivious to his changes, saying, "Sister Lan said that Li Xiangdong has established several large companies."
Li Guoqing remained silent for a long time before saying, "That's someone else's company; it has nothing to do with me."
The moment those words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze, and the two of them fell silent.
At Guo Yuxi's house, Xue Yuyu brought up Old Mrs. Jiang again.
"Yu Xi, this old woman is said to be from a prominent family in Yanjing City, is that true?"
Guo Yuxi's eyes darted around, and she immediately replied, "Yes, I heard from my second brother that Master Jiang is very rich!"
She also started calling Jiang Ying "Master" like Li Xiangdong.
Seeing that Guo Yuxi was on the right track, Xue Yuyu smiled even more sweetly, "How so?"
"Hey, there's a lot going on here. Come here, I'll tell you in a secret..."
The next morning, Xue Ran left without saying goodbye.
Guo Yuxi brought in a bowl of mutton soup sprinkled with scallions and cilantro, but he couldn't find his future father-in-law anywhere.
Xue Yuyu said with a smile, "My dad said that since we've been eating and drinking at your house for so long, he has to reciprocate. That's why he went to the county town early this morning to buy pig's trotters."
After eating so many delicacies yourself, you only bought pig's trotters as a return gift?
Guo Yuxi scoffed inwardly, but her face showed genuine emotion.
"Father-in-law, you're too kind. Come on, let's have breakfast first!"
After the two finished eating, Guo Yuxi took her to find He Xiaohong to play.
According to Guo Yuxi, he and Li Guoqing are not blood brothers, but their relationship is closer than that of blood brothers.
Xue Yuyu and He Xiaohong will inevitably have to interact in the future, so now is a good time for them to spend more time together.
Xue Ran returned in the evening, carrying a large bag of cooked food, saying he wanted to treat Li Xiangdong, Li Guoqing, and the others to dinner.
"Little Xizi, your father-in-law is paving the way for you! Even though I'll have to pay a price, I'll accept it as long as I can protect your brothers!"
Xue Ran patted Guo Yuxi on the shoulder, "A son-in-law is like half a son. From now on, you're my own son!"
