"Even flying there, we might not make it in time," Xiao Yun said.
"We can't let one or two of them delay important matters," Guo Xuyang said with some disapproval.
"Since we've started, we should of course see it through as completely as possible. It won't be good if anyone is missing."
"Those who can make it tomorrow morning will come. We can't wait any longer for those who can't."
"Alright, let's all say a bit less and focus on eating. Xiao Yun is right, we should wait until everyone is here," Wu Shangqing said.
With her word, the others fell silent.
The meal was so satisfying that everyone was full and reluctant to move.
"This lamb is too delicious! I'm stuffed," Li Minxi said, leaning onto the sofa without any regard for her appearance.
"Exactly. We didn't have enough at lunch," Guo Yiyang also flopped onto the sofa.
"How can anyone sit here with you two like this?" Guo Xuyang said disdainfully.
"There are dining chairs, you can carry one over. Besides, you've only been home for a few days, and there wasn't even a spot prepared for you here," Li Minxi pouted at him.
"Ah, ah, ah..." Little Guo Yishun also kicked his little legs and waved his little hands, crying out incessantly.
"My son, isn't your little stepmom right?" Li Minxi said, reaching out to little Guo Yishun.
"You just finished eating, rest for a bit before holding him. He's like a little meatball now and restless. Be careful you don't kick the baby in your belly," Ilena said, holding little Guo Yishun.
"You'd better forget it. You can't even take care of yourself, yet you want to hold the baby," Guo Xuyang chimed in.
"I want to. Let the little babies get acquainted now and build their relationship from childhood," Li Minxi said proudly.
"What does he know? He's just a little kid, what could he possibly understand?"
As soon as Guo Xuyang finished speaking, little Guo Yishun became unhappy. He kicked his legs even faster, as if he wanted to fight Guo Xuyang.
"Oh no, why are you talking like that? The baby kicked me. He's angry," Li Minxi cried out, holding her belly.
"I think these little ones are all becoming spirits. They know good from bad at such a young age."
"You're still making light of it, why aren't you hurrying to help Xiao Xi upstairs?" Wu Shangqing said, giving Guo Xuyang a pat on the arm.
"This is normal, it'll be fine in a moment," Guo Xuyang said, looking at Li Minxi's belly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Minxi really let go of her hands that were covering her stomach.
"Oh, it doesn't hurt anymore. What's wrong with the little one today?"
Guo Xuyang knew what was happening. When he looked at the fetus in her belly earlier, he could clearly feel the fetus looking back at him. No wonder little Guo Yishun was kicking his legs so fast. These two little ones could really communicate. Guo Xuyang was stunned. He didn't know what kind of monsters his descendants would become. Their current talents were not comparable to ordinary children. Especially little Guo Yishun, he seemed to be able to sense others' thoughts and even communicate with the fetus in the womb. This ability was truly heaven-defying. He just didn't know if he could still communicate with fetuses when he grew up. He naturally couldn't tell everyone what he sensed. Otherwise, his parents might faint from shock.
"Get ready. We'll leave a bit earlier tomorrow morning. I'll go take a look over there. Those few girls are still there."
"Go ahead. By the way, after you get married, how will you treat these wives of yours? Where will you let them live?" Li Minxi asked with a half-smile.
"Of course, they'll live wherever they are living now. Am I going to find new places for them?"
"You're not going to find them places, are you going to let them find their own?"
"That's easy. Buy a piece of land and build a hundred villas. It'll be lively if they all live together."
"They each have their own careers and can't possibly live together."
"Then what should we do? I can't split myself."
As Guo Xuyang spoke, an idea struck him. Why couldn't he split himself? He could let his avatars accompany his wives. But then he thought, wasn't this a bit absurd? Letting avatars accompany wives, even though these avatars were his own, it still didn't feel right. He did have quite a few avatars, but he shouldn't let them do this.
"We'll talk about it later. If that doesn't work, we can develop real estate in Kyoto and Shanghai. Developing real estate in those places will also make money."
"Rich and powerful, there's nothing we can do. Impressive, no one is as impressive as you," Li Minxi said with a smile.
No matter how she said it, it didn't sound like a good thing, but Guo Xuyang had no way to refute it. He didn't want to become a target. After saying goodbye to everyone, he wanted to slip away.
"Wait a moment, I'm going back too," Li Minxi said.
"What's wrong? Aren't you staying here anymore?"
"Xiao Bing and the others will come with Su Ran tomorrow. I'll have them go directly to King's Villa."
"Why go to the villa? Just go straight to the airport," Guo Xuyang said.
"Alright then, I'll call Su Ran and let her know. You go ahead, I won't go back."
Seeing Li Minxi say this, Guo Xuyang quickly took Jiang Wuxi and walked out. He was afraid Li Minxi might change her mind later.
Upon arriving at King's Villa, Xia Li was chatting with Xu Liping, Xin Rui, and a few others.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Xia Li asked, walking over.
"We came back after dinner. There were too many people there, and we couldn't stay, so we came back," Guo Xuyang said, making up an excuse.
"What did you have for dinner?"
"Lamb soup, from the lamb soup restaurant at the foot of the mountain."
"Mm. Get some rest early. We have to get up early tomorrow. Did you see Fatty?"
"No. I haven't seen them since lunch. Perhaps they had something to do."
"Mm. You two should go rest early. I'll call Fatty to ask, so we don't delay tomorrow's business."
"You should rest early too." Xia Li and the others said goodbye to Guo Xuyang and returned to their rooms.
"Fatty, where are you?" Guo Xuyang asked as soon as the call connected.
But the other person hung up without saying a word. This was very abnormal. He quickly dialed again, but the phone was turned off. Guo Xuyang quickly released his senses and dialed again. Following the radio waves, Guo Xuyang found Pi Xiaoqian and Wang Yu. The two of them were locked in a room, and Fatty's phone was on the sofa beside them. This was an urban village. Standing next to Fatty was an Asian person, but he didn't know which country they were from. Because the person was clearly not a local. Could it be that they had already infiltrated and found this place? Guo Xuyang muttered to himself. But why would these people capture Pi Xiaoqian? He really didn't know who had captured Pi Xiaoqian. Besides the two people guarding Pi Xiaoqian in this room, there were three more people in the yard outside, all vigilantly watching the surroundings. In another room, there were two laptops, but he didn't know what they were connected to. One of them was muttering something. Guo Xuyang released his combat ability, and only then did he hear that this person was reporting their day's findings. It turned out that these people had infiltrated this city and found the Jun Yue Lai Hotel.
