After dinner, the group took a walk downstairs and returned to take a shower when it was almost time.
Since her mother-in-law rarely came to visit, Su Jingjing let her two children sleep with her.
Little did they know that this action would earn them points with Li's mother.
In Ancheng, hundreds of kilometers away from Huaicheng, Li Hanting led a team to wipe out a drug trafficking group's stronghold.
This was carried out in secret; apart from the top leader, no one knew how dangerous the mission was.
A few days ago, everything went smoothly, but at the last moment, one of them was exposed, which aroused the suspicion of the drug cartel. It is now very difficult to re-infiltrate them.
Some of them were shot, and Li Hanting secretly arranged for them to be treated without publicizing it.
Outside the operating room, everyone paced anxiously, looking dejected.
Li Hanting exuded a fierce aura, and no one dared to approach him.
Yan Yikuan wiped his face, stood up and walked to Li Hanting's side, "Commander, what should we do next?"
Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, not only is their mission difficult, but their return to Huaicheng may also be uncertain.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over; their leader was their pillar of support.
Li Hanting had already considered this in his mind. "Have Lao Liu continue to keep an eye on things over there, but be careful not to alert them. They don't know our identities yet."
Outside, they all address each other by code names.
"In addition, the information about the fifth brother must be destroyed immediately, without leaving any trace."
"Yes, Commander."
Yan Yikuan seemed to have regained his motivation.
"You all stay here and keep watch, I'm going out for a bit."
After leaving the clinic, Li Hanting went straight to an apartment building, found the corresponding door number, and gently knocked on the door.
There were rustling footsteps coming from inside, along with muttering to themselves.
Who is it?
Gu Shaokai had been hungover all night, and being disturbed in the early morning inevitably made him a little irritable.
But the moment he saw Brother Ting, he was startled and immediately put on a grin, quickly inviting him in.
"Brother Ting, it's you! Come in, come in!"
Ignoring his disheveled clothes and messy hair, he hurriedly went to pour tea, saying, "Brother Ting, when did you come to Ancheng? You didn't even tell your brother."
Li Hanting lifted his eyelids and bluntly asked, "Went to pick up girls again last night?"
The person in front of him was his sworn brother, Gu Shaokai, who was also the good-for-nothing son that Uncle Gu had mentioned.
Gu Shaokai quickly denied it, "Hehe, Brother Ting, what are you saying? I was just discussing business and had a couple of drinks on the way."
From childhood to adulthood, he followed behind Brother Ting, who was like an older brother to him.
"Brother, you didn't come here specifically to see me, did you?"
Although Gu Shaokai was confused, he wasn't stupid. Huaicheng was hundreds of kilometers away from Ancheng. As the regimental commander, Ting Ge worked under the old man, so how could he have free time to come over?
Perhaps they've encountered a tricky situation.
Li Hanting took a sip of tea, his expression solemn. "I'm here on a mission."
"Shaokai, there's something I need your help with."
As expected, I've run into a tricky situation.
Gu Shaokai also dropped his playful grin and said seriously, "Brother, tell me what's wrong, and I'll definitely help."
After working hard in other places for several years, he had built up some connections. He was not like an ordinary businessman, nor was he as idle as the old man had described.
The two whispered to each other for a while before Gu Shaokai patted his chest and said, "Brother, I'll definitely take care of it for you. I've heard that Yan Kun's business is not simple, but I didn't expect him to be doing this kind of thing behind the scenes."
"Brother, how badly are your men injured? Should we bring them over here?"
Li Hanting shook his head slightly, "No need, the doctor said there are no vital organs injured."
He picked up his coat and said, "It's nothing, I'll head back now."
Gu Shaokai stood up and quickly stopped him, "Hey, hey, are you leaving already, brother?"
"We brothers finally managed to catch up, so let's stay and have a couple of drinks."
Li Hanting paused, "Let's have a drink together when we get back to Huaicheng another day. Your business here is pretty much stable now, right? When are you going back to Huaicheng? You can't keep hiding from your dad like this."
Gu Shaokai shrugged dejectedly. "The old man has never trusted me. If I go back, he'll probably complain even more. It's much quieter here with no one nagging me."
that is…
I can't see my brother, and I also can't see my mother.
"Uncle Gu misses you very much. He just asked me about you a while ago. Shao Kai, there's no grudge between father and son that lasts overnight. He can understand your work now. Remember, your roots are always in Huaicheng."
After saying that, she pushed open the door and walked out, leaving Gu Shaokai alone in the living room, bewildered.
Is it true that the old man is trying to find out about him?
The next day, with Gu Shaokai's help, all the problems were easily solved. After all, this guy used to be a member of the military region, but he didn't want to be tied down, so he switched to business.
A few days later, the drug cartel's stronghold was wiped out by the combined efforts of Li Hanting and Gu Shaokai.
"Brother, you're amazing. I've heard that Yan Kun is very shrewd. But speaking of which, how did you know he would want to flee abroad?"
That kid almost escaped at the last minute.
"Because of his woman."
Li Hanting muttered to himself, "Yan Kun is indeed shrewd in his actions, but he is also audacious in his lust. He secretly keeps a group of women outside, which is definitely one of his major weaknesses."
In fact, as soon as he entered Ancheng, he secretly sent people to search for Yan Kun's hiding place.
"Brother, I admire you. You managed to find this. Luckily, I'm your brother, not your enemy."
Anyone who gets targeted by the eldest brother is bound to be in trouble.
"But bro, what kind of look is that?"
Li Hanting said in a low voice, "So, you should stop chasing girls outside and hurry up and find a decent girl to settle down with."
His daughters An'an and Yuan'yuan have been born for several years, and this kid doesn't even have a proper girlfriend.
"Brother, that's not what you said before. You told me to have fun for a few years."
My brother's marriage back then was a complicated affair, and it definitely left a shadow on his mind.
As Gu Shaokai straightened his collar, he casually asked, "By the way, how have things been between you and your wife lately?"
But when the person beside him didn't answer for a long time, he couldn't help but look up curiously. He saw that his brother had a lovestruck expression on his face, as if he had fallen in love.
Something's fishy!
