Upstairs in the room, Wang Yueyue's close friends started chattering away.
"Yueyue, your man is amazing! He's so strong."
"That's right, I've been training all along. I've been training with the guard sergeant in front of my grandfather since I was a kid," Wang Yueyue said proudly.
She was really unsure if Li Wenxuan could drink, because she didn't know how much her man could drink.
But when it comes to strength, Wang Yueyue has no worries at all.
"Miss Tong...is it alright now?"
With two young men carrying nearly 300 pounds of weight on their backs, Wenxuan was also feeling a bit tired; otherwise, he wouldn't have collapsed to the ground earlier.
"Hey, I didn't realize you were so thin, but you're actually quite strong!" As she spoke, the little witch walked over and tried to touch Li Wenxuan's arm.
"Men and women should not touch each other. What are you doing?"
A friend of Tong Ling quickly pulled her away.
Whether they were inside the house or standing at the door, the girls all helplessly rubbed their foreheads.
They were quite helpless to have such a lively and quirky best friend!
Wang Yueyue sat on a chair in the room, the veins on her forehead bulging.
"Tong Lingling!"
"Ah, Sister Yueyue, I was just joking, just joking. This is my brother-in-law, I would never do anything reckless."
As soon as she sensed something was wrong, Tong Ling's expression changed immediately, and she smiled sweeter than honey.
Then she gestured with her hands, saying, "Brother-in-law, please come in. You can take your bride back to the bridal chamber now!"
Seeing her fawning face, the people in front of her burst into laughter.
Being a young girl, she felt embarrassed and buried her face in the arms of a girl next to her.
"Sister, they're all bullying me."
Those who came with Li Wenxuan were one thing, but the children in the courtyard were truly an eye-opener; it was rare to see the little witch actually being shy.
Inside the room, Li Chu was discussing the case with Zhang Meng when Ding Qiunan rushed in.
"Brother Meng, I'm sorry, you two can't chat now. Li Chu, Xiao Zeng has already gone outside."
"So fast?" Li Chu stood up as soon as he heard that.
"Brother Meng, I'm going outside to pick someone up."
Zhang Meng immediately knew that the person they were talking about, Xiao Zeng, was definitely a bodyguard or someone who had come from the front lines first, someone he knew well.
"You go ahead and do your thing." After saying that, he stood up and followed her out of the living room.
Li Chu's classmates had already started setting up tables in the courtyard, so he lent a hand and did what he could.
As soon as Li Chu stepped out of the gate, he saw a jeep parked at the entrance of the alley, with four strong young men standing beside it, looking back and forth.
One of them saw Li Chu come out and walked over.
Dean Li
"Xiao Zeng, I'm sorry to have troubled you. How much longer until the commander arrives?"
"It will take at most ten minutes."
Zeng glanced down at his watch and then asked, "Dean Li, I'd like to ask about the guests in your home..."
Point Guard Here
"Oh, some of them are my classmates, they all work at our pharmaceutical research institute. Their family members might come over around noon, they all have formal jobs."
Then the person who cooked was my friend, from that restaurant not far to the north. The chef, the kitchen helpers, and even the waiters were all from that restaurant. I had specifically reported all of this before.
Then there were a few of my son's classmates and friends who helped with the wedding procession. The rest were family members.
Oh, by the way, a few more people might be coming from the hospital, but that should be about it.
Xiao Zeng nodded with a wry smile: "Thank you, Dean Li. The preparations were all done in advance, which made our task much simpler. We were only notified to set off this morning; I thought the commander was..."
Without saying anything more, Li Chu knew what he wanted to say and patted his arm knowingly.
"Don't worry too much. Old Wang has been staying here for a while, and a few more old gentlemen will be coming over later, so the security is definitely sufficient."
After hearing Li Chu's words, Zeng's tense heart relaxed by half.
What they fear most is this kind of sudden mission, not to mention that the two of them came out together today, and they came to a house in the alley.
Zeng was on tenterhooks the whole way here, worried that the terrain was too complicated and the people too mixed.
Now it's alright, there's no need to worry too much.
At that moment, the person standing by the jeep called out to them and then waved.
"Dean Li, they should have arrived."
"I'll call my partner, you go ahead first."
...
In the living room, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu sat on the sofa, and Ding Qiunan poured two glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table in front of them.
When will Lao Wang and the others arrive?
"We're almost there, Uncle Wu. He just called to say he's getting ready to leave."
Uncle Wu nodded, then turned to Aunt Wu and asked, "How is Xiao Chu's courtyard?"
"Hmm, looks good."
"Let's go, the best seats are in the back, Xiao Chu, your aunt and I will sit in the back."
"Okay, it's cooler in the back than inside."
After escorting the two elders to the back and leaving Ding Qiunan to stay there, Li Chu went to the front, where another group of people would be arriving soon, and he had to greet them.
"Brother-in-law, could you please call Qiu Nan over for me? She wants to come with me to pick up the people."
Wang Ziwen just saw who was behind her.
"I can't, I'm not familiar with those two. Let your sister go."
Li Chu thought about it and agreed; her sister at least knew those two people.
Just as I was about to call my sister, Shen Yi walked over from the front.
Alright, now I know who to ask to keep me company.
"Xiao Yi"
"Uncle Li, if there's anything you need me to do, please let me know."
"Go to the backyard and keep an eye on a guest for me. Replace Aunt Ding with me; she needs to stay with me in the front to greet people."
Shen Yi readily agreed to "Okay," but just as he was about to walk away, he stopped.
"Uncle Li, you still haven't told me who lives in the backyard?"
Li Chu whispered a few words in his future son-in-law's ear.
Shen Yi's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "Uncle, I dare not go. My legs tremble when I see him."
"You silly boy, he's not a tiger, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Yi thought to himself, “Do you think everyone is like you, growing up around these old men and not afraid of anyone? I don’t have that kind of guts.”
"Go quickly. Once you get there, the old man will understand what I mean and will share some of his experience with you."
...
The sound of firecrackers at the entrance of the alley signaled the return of those who had gone out to fetch the bride.
Standing on the veranda leading to the front yard, watching her son carry Wang Yueyue into their new house, followed by a group of people cheering and making a fuss, Li Chu smiled and turned back to the middle yard.
