"Fatty, you awake? We need to go."
Guo Xuyang shouted from his bed.
"Not yet, let me lie here a bit longer.
Did we go party after drinking yesterday?
Why do I feel sore all over?"
"You insisted on trying that Thai massage, and they gave you a good thrashing."

"Impossible? I have no memory of it at all!"
"You're just faking it.
No one was wilder than you yesterday. I dragged you away when you wouldn't leave."
"Impossible? I remember I never drank excessively before. What happened yesterday?"
"A lust for excitement. It made Director Jiang run off early."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what kind of person he is. He used to be more wild than us."
"That was then, this is now.
He was a big shot in the company before, and entertaining guests was normal.
Now, many people are watching his position. One wrong step and he could fall hard."
"You say he insists on going back to suffer that foreign punishment instead of staying in a comfortable place. Is he not thinking straight?"
"You can't say that.
He was squeezed out because he was ostracized.
His current position should be the best place in his heart."
"What's so good about it? Being controlled by others every day, not free at all."
"To each their own. Some people's hearts are in the court, while others aim for distant horizons.
Wherever you are, as long as your heart is at peace, that's the best place."
"Why does that sound so profound?
Did you achieve enlightenment overnight, old man?"
"Get lost, you pig's mouth can't spew ivory.
Hurry up and get up, we need to head back.

Don't you want to go to Myanmar anymore?"
"Get up, get up, let me recover a bit."
Pi Xiaoqian said, stretching out his arm, then using his waist to sit up straight.
"Good, my bones aren't scattered."
"You just show off.
This time we go to Myanmar, we need to be back before Xiao Xi finishes her confinement period so we can hold the full moon celebration for Xiao Niuniu.
We'll also have to pick up her parents then.
I can't let her parents know about my situation at home, otherwise who knows what trouble will arise."
"Are you planning to keep hiding this from her parents forever?
There's no wall that doesn't leak wind. If they find out you deceived them, it's better to tell them sooner."

"What do you know? There's still a difficult one.
We have to wait for that fruit to ripen before I can go and beg for forgiveness.
Otherwise, what if her father takes some drastic measures, and I suffer?"
"I don't understand you. Aren't you tired of this?"
"What can I do if I'm tired?
I have to fill the pit I dug myself, even if it means crawling. Otherwise, I'd be letting down my conscience."
"Why do I feel like you have hidden meanings in your words?"
Pi Xiaoqian squinted his eyes and looked at Guo Xuyang.
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Before Guo Xuyang could finish speaking, his phone rang.

"Yang Zi, there's an emergency. You need to come over immediately."
Jiang Qixin's voice came from the phone.
"What is it?"
"It's not clear over the phone. You wait downstairs, and my people will be there soon."
"What about Fatty? Should he come too?"
"He can't help much. Let him move freely.
Prepare yourself, this matter is quite complicated and might take about half a month to resolve."
"No, I still have to go back for Xiao Xi's child's full moon celebration."
"That depends on whether you can make it back.
You have to go for this, no one else can.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be calling you."
"What exactly is it?"
"It's not possible to say over the phone. Get ready and hurry downstairs."
Jiang Qixin hung up the phone.
"What's the situation?" Pi Xiaoqian asked Guo Xuyang.
"There's an emergency. We can't go to Myanmar anymore. You're free to do as you please.
If I can't make it back before Xiao Niuniu's full moon, you come to Kyoto and help pick up Xiao Xi's parents.
Also, take Xiao Xi and my parents to live at King's Villa. Have everyone else return to the Artificial Lake Villa or go to a hotel, and try to avoid meeting Xiao Xi's parents.
Even if they come, they won't stay for too long, maybe three to five days at most."
Guo Xuyang said while getting dressed.

"What if her mother doesn't leave?"
"That's impossible. Although her mother is free, she still has to go to her unit.
If she really doesn't leave, let them stay at King's Villa."
"What's going on here? Do you have to go?"
"It seems urgent, otherwise Director Jiang wouldn't have called it an emergency."
"Then be careful."
"It's fine. I'm leaving. You, don't cause any more trouble. If you have nothing else to do, go check out Panjiayuan."
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. I'm more familiar with this place than you are."
"I'm off." Guo Xuyang said and hurried downstairs.
"Mr. Guo, this way."

The young man who picked him up yesterday waved to him in the lobby.
"What's the situation?"
"I don't know. Director Jiang asked me to pick you up."
The young man was a good driver, driving straight into an old office building without slowing down.
"Mr. Guo, please follow me."
The young man said and jumped out of the car.
After the two of them arrived at a room on the second floor, Guo Xuyang found Xu Dahai, Tong Xin, and a few others there.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's talk about the mission."
Jiang Qixin looked at Guo Xuyang and the others.
"The three teams we sent out for interstellar scavenging have mysteriously disappeared.

Note that they did not disappear in the same area.
After an emergency meeting, it has been decided to send you to investigate the situation.
Your mission is to investigate. If you can rescue the people, that would be best, but don't force it if you can't. Safety first.
If you have any difficulties, please state them now."
"Director Jiang, that, that I can't go."
Tong Xin raised her hand and said.
"I'm pregnant."
"Hm? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Jiang Qixin was startled. He didn't expect such a situation.
"You... Alright then. You go back and rest."

Jiang Qixin actually wanted to say, "You're not married, how can you be pregnant?"
But with so many people present, he couldn't possibly ask that.
Besides, there's no rule stating that an unmarried person cannot be pregnant.
"Does anyone else have any special circumstances? If you have any difficulties, speak up now."
Jiang Qixin looked around.
"If there are no difficulties, we depart now and go directly to the base.
The planes have already been arranged."
After Guo Xuyang watched everyone leave, he approached Jiang Qixin and asked, "Director Jiang, what exactly is the situation? How could they disappear simultaneously?"
"I don't know that either.
I only received the notification early this morning, asking me to gather you all.

If I'm not mistaken, someone made a move against you."
Jiang Qixin said in a low voice.
"You mean that list?"
"It's highly related.
Be more careful when you go.
Also, try to protect that kid Dahai."
"You know about this situation and still let him go?"
"The other party is using a straightforward strategy. The superiors specifically requested these people to go with you.
Is that girl Tong Xin yours?"
"I don't know. I lost control at the time."

"Aren't you afraid your father-in-law will disown you?"
"Right, Xiao Xi's child's full moon celebration is in about half a month. If her father discovers anything, you help me block it.
I've already instructed Fatty before I left."
"Aren't you going to inform your family?"
"I'll just call my parents on the way.
Also, Tong Xin, please arrange for someone to take care of her."
"I understand. You must be careful.
I suspect there are assassins among the people going with you this time."
"I understand. Then I'm leaving."
"Be careful." Jiang Qixin patted his shoulder.
