"Let's hurry, don't delay the flight," Guo Xuyang said, heading out. He didn't forget to make calls.
"Brother Liang, are you at the airport yet? Arrived? Good. I'll be there soon."
"Mr. Wu, are you at the airport? Almost there? Good. I'll be there soon."
"Fatty, where are you? In the car? Alright. I'm coming over."
"Old Xu, where are you? At the airport, okay then. I'll be there soon."
Guo Xuyang said, plopping into the car.
"I just heard you'll be here soon?" Ye Zi looked at Guo Xuyang with a grin.
"Mhm."
"It takes at least half an hour from here to the airport. Your 'soon' is quite long, isn't it?"
"Drive first. I'll talk to you about this 'soon'," Guo Xuyang said leisurely.
As Ye Zi started the car, the other vehicles followed behind.
"Go on."
"This 'soon' can be long or short.
Last time, there was a friend gathering in Kyoto, but Fatty wasn't there.
Where did he go? Shanghai. He went shopping in Shanghai, saying he wanted to check out the jade market.
Of course, that's what he said. I don't know what he was really doing, and we shouldn't speculate, right?"
Guo Xuyang paused.
"We called him, and he said he'd be there soon.
Since he said he'd be there soon, it meant he wasn't far from where we were drinking. So, we didn't wait for him and started drinking.
Halfway through, that fatty still hadn't arrived. Mr. Wu called him again, and he still said he'd be there soon.
He finally arrived, breathless, right as we were about to finish. It took a full three hours.
Later, we teased him, asking where he was when we first called. That fatty said he was in Shanghai.
That's what 'be there soon' means. So, saying 'be there soon' to these guys is perfectly fine."
Ye Zi burst into laughter, amused by Guo Xuyang. "Your 'be there soon' time is really long. Most people would be driven crazy by your 'soon'."
"It's alright. We'll definitely make it to the airport before ten, no worries."
But before Guo Xuyang could finish, a car suddenly swerved towards them.
"Careful!" he shouted.
Ye Zi reacted quickly, swerving the wheel and avoiding the collision.
However, the other car immediately turned its wheel and charged at them again.
Guo Xuyang realized something was wrong and knew he was being targeted.
He turned and looked inside the car. There were two people inside.
One of them was holding the steering wheel, and the other hand held a silenced pistol.
The other was holding a submachine gun. This was clearly an assassination attempt.
"Collect," Guo Xuyang murmured.
He drew the entire vehicle and its occupants into his mind, then sent a message to Kasa, instructing him to deliver the two people inside to his juniors as food.
If you want to hunt me, you must be prepared to be hunted. Guo Xuyang thought proudly.
Ye Zi glanced at him but said nothing.
Yu Er, however, remarked, "Is this really okay in the middle of the city?"
"It's fine. They'll think it's a supernatural event. We'll just keep going," Guo Xuyang said.
Xiao Yun, who was following closely behind, saw everything Guo Xuyang did.
Although she didn't know how the car disappeared, she knew it was definitely heading for Guo Xuyang.
She figured only Guo Xuyang would have such abilities.
The two assassins were terrified after being pulled out of the car by Kasa.
They never imagined they would die such a humiliating death.
Despite undergoing various anti-interrogation training as special forces, they were completely stunned when a giant, lizard-like creature appeared before them.
The adult lizard didn't open its mouth, allowing three smaller creatures to tear at the assassins.
In just two swift movements, one assassin's head was separated from his body.
The smaller creatures, having not smelled blood for a long time, were exceptionally excited and swallowed the remains in a few bites.
The other assassin was so terrified he wet himself.
But it was no use.
The outcome was naturally no better.
Guo Xuyang paid no attention to the two men; his sole focus was on reaching the airport and meeting up with the others.
"Why aren't you here yet? It's almost time," Li Minxi's call came through.
"Almost there, almost there," Guo Xuyang said hurriedly.
Ye Zi chuckled when she heard Guo Xuyang's words.
"What are you laughing at? Drive properly. Faster, Xiao Xi is already rushing us." Guo Xuyang hung up the phone.
"I just remembered your 'almost there'," Ye Zi skillfully operated the steering wheel and controls.
"It'll only take ten more minutes at most."
Meanwhile, Li Minxi had already boarded the plane with Guo Yiyu and Wu Shangqing.
Elena, holding little Guo Yishun, sat next to Wu Shangqing.
"Give him to me, let me hold my grandson for a while. You rest a bit."
Wu Shangqing reached out to take Guo Yishun.
"No need, Mom. I'm not tired. You rest. You've been busy since early this morning."
"Busy, but happy. We get to see you two get married the day after tomorrow.
We have to thank Xiao Xi for this. If Xiao Xi hadn't helped, that little rascal Yang Zi wouldn't have thought of all this."
"Mom, please don't say that. I never asked for anything from Yang Zi from the very beginning.
Honestly, I think things are great just the way they are."
"That's what you say, but I feel uneasy.
Our country's system is unchangeable, but you are all too good.
It's not just Yang Zi who is reluctant; I am too!
Xiao Xi marrying Yang Zi is the fortune he's accumulated over eight lifetimes.
And with you all, it's countless lifetimes of good fortune." Wu Shangqing said.
"Mom, I know. It's mainly because he was born into the right family, becoming your son," Li Minxi said from the side.
"This little rascal was always easy to handle as a child, but the older he gets, the more worrying he becomes. I really don't know what you two see in him."
"He's kind, rich, and has ambition."
"Him? Don't praise him too much. He's always out and never home. I don't see what's so good about him."
Before Wu Shangqing could finish speaking, Guo Xuyang stepped in.
"Mom, who are you gossiping about now?"
"Do I need to gossip? Look at you, are there any outsiders in this cabin?"
Wu Shangqing pointed at the women in the cabin.
"Hehehe, isn't it because your son is strictly following your imperial decree?
Didn't you want a football team, and then a basketball team?
Since Xiao Xi and Elena are too busy, I found a few more daughters-in-law for you."
"From now on, you'll take care of the children when your wives give birth. I won't. Are you trying to wear me out?"
"Mom, don't worry. When we get back, I definitely won't let you get tired. We'll hire nannies right away, one for each, how about that?"
"Get lost! I know your little schemes." Wu Shangqing said with a laugh and a scolding.
"No, your son really doesn't have those thoughts anymore. This is enough," Guo Xuyang quickly said.
"Tch." A sound came from the side.
Everyone was defeated by Guo Xuyang's shamelessness.
