Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu and Mr. Jin exchanged a subtle glance for a moment, then fell into a brief silence.
After a moment's hesitation, Mr. Jin asked, his tone carrying a subtle, unspoken meaning, "Dad, can we be discharged now?"
Seeing this, Lu An'an stepped forward to check their pulses and nodded: "They're fine. Apart from being a little weak, they're alright and can go home."
Mr. Jin nodded slightly: "Then let's go home first. Old Gu, you should come home with me too."
"Okay, Xiaoqian, you and Tingyan go home first. I'm going to the Jin family's place tonight and won't be back."

Mr. Gu continued, "Old Jin and I initially thought things were going to turn badly, but to our surprise, after we passed out, they actually sent us out."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an's heartstrings trembled, and she pursed her lips slightly: "Do Uncle Gu and Uncle Jin still remember what that boss looked like?"
