It must be said that the power of the organization is immense. In just one night, the perpetrator was found.
Li Ziyu, upon seeing Guo Xuyang that day, was filled with hatred and drove his car directly towards him.
Coincidentally, Li Ziyu had not been in this area for long.
His father, seeing him idle all day and causing a lot of trouble in Kyoto, sent him here to gain some experience.
Who would have thought that he would commit such a grave offense again?
This time, he had thoroughly angered the higher-ups.
Li Ziyu was sent to a military court, Li Ziqi was dismissed from his post and investigated, and even their father was forced into retirement.
It was fortunate that Guo Xuyang was unharmed. Had he been injured, the matter would have been far more serious than simply being sent to court.
Guo Xuyang, of course, was unaware of these developments.
Many people were surprised when he returned home.
"Yangzi, why are you back?" Li Minxi asked.
"Plans have changed, I'm not going for now."
"That's great, we can move up our wedding date."
"When do you think would be appropriate?"
"How about March 12th? It's Arbor Day."
"Whatever you say. But it's best to discuss this with your parents first. Don't let them refuse again."
"They won't. There are still over twenty days until the wedding, enough time for them to prepare. Besides, didn't we say we'd get married when you got back?"
"Alright then. Where do you want to set up the new house?"
"The King's Villa? It's less crowded there, and quieter. Even if things get wild, no one will notice."
"There are security guards there," Guo Xuyang reminded her.
"The security guards are negligible. At least we don't have to worry about your parents overhearing. That would be too embarrassing."
"Fine, we'll use the King's Villa as the new house. You arrange for someone to decorate it; you're good at this. I don't need to worry about it."
"You want to be a hands-off groom for your own wedding? That's too irresponsible!"
"It's a case of the capable doing more work. I trust you to handle it. I'm sure you'll do a great job."
"Alright then. I'll call you over to take a look after it's decorated."
"No problem."
After speaking with Li Minxi, Guo Xuyang went to Iliana's room. His mother, Wu Shangqing, was there helping to care for the young Guo Yishun.
"Why are you back? Yangzi."
"Mom, plans have changed, so I came back."
"That's perfect, you can get married to Xiao Xi. I was worried it wouldn't look good if Xiao Xi got married while heavily pregnant. This is much better. Have you seen Xiao Xi?"
"I just came from her place. Xiao Xi wants to get married on the twelfth of next month."
"Fine, any day is a good day for the wedding. As long as the marriage happens, any day is a good day."
"Then shall I have Xiao Xi tell her parents?"
"You can. Let's just hope her parents don't disagree again."
"They won't, Mom. It was just too rushed last time, their refusal was understandable. It shouldn't be like this this time; there are still over twenty days until the twelfth of next month."
"Then you two go ahead and handle it. If you need anything, just let us know, and we'll help."
"You don't need to do anything. Just wait for the daughter-in-law to arrive."
"What are you saying, son? Shouldn't we prepare wedding quilts and things for you?"
"Mom, with money, you can buy anything. You don't need to worry about that. It's better if you have some free time to get a few outfits made, so you'll have something to wear then."
"That we can do. I'll take Iliana and the others to get some made when we get back."
"Okay. Let me hold her for a bit, you can rest too."
Guo Xuyang said this and reached out to take the baby Guo Yishun.
Unexpectedly, before Guo Xuyang could take her, the baby Guo Yishun protested. She kicked her little legs in the swaddling clothes and reached out for her grandmother.
"See? You don't hold the child, and now the child isn't close to you anymore!" Iliana said from the side.
"I've been busy."
"Busy? Busy fooling around? Look how many women are around you, do you really want to have a harem of seventy-two consorts?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"Let Mom ask you, how many women have you brought home during this time? Are there others we don't know about? Last time Ye Zi came back and complained that you had provoked another college student and even brought her in front of Ye Zi and Yu'er. Is that true?"
"This..." Guo Xuyang touched his nose and fell silent.
"You don't need to explain to us. It doesn't matter who you're with, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep any of them in the end. You're young now, strong and healthy, so you don't feel it. When you get old, or even if you just keep this up ceaselessly, your body will likely collapse before you get old. Don't think I'm nagging, I'm saying this for your own good. Mom is here today, and what I say might not be pleasant, but it's truly for your benefit. Think about it yourself."
"Yangzi, Iliana is right. You can't rely on your good health to act recklessly every day. As a mother, I shouldn't be saying this, but the fact that you keep everyone awake with your noise isn't sustainable either."
As Wu Shangqing said this, Guo Xuyang's face flushed crimson. Even with a thick skin, being spoken to like this by his mother made him feel utterly ashamed.
"Mom, I'll be more careful in the future. Speaking of which, Xiao Xi wants to set up the new house at the King's Villa."
"Wherever Xiao Xi wants it, that's where it will be. You decide your wedding house, as long as you're happy. We're not short of money anyway, and if there are suitable ones, we can buy a few more to keep. After all, there are still so many girls."
Hearing Wu Shangqing say this, Iliana rolled her eyes. This was openly indulging Guo Xuyang's promiscuity.
"I understand, Mom. Our company still has many houses unsold, we can keep a few."
"Villas are best. If you live in an apartment building, be careful someone doesn't come and bang on your door."
"Okay, Mom. I'm leaving now."
Guo Xuyang said this and quickly slipped out. He was sweating from the verbal sparring with Iliana and his mother.
"Yangzi? What are you doing?"
Ye Zi's voice suddenly echoed in Guo Xuyang's mind.
"Yeah, I just got home not long ago. What's up?"
"Did you forget about me?"
"How could I? You stay in there for a few more days. I just resigned, so General Jiang will be looking for me. Your disappearance is my excuse, otherwise, he'll keep forcing me to go out. You endure it for a couple more days."
"I want to come out for your wedding. Don't forget me."
"I won't forget. It'll only be about a week before you're released."
"Alright then. Who is this other woman inside?"
"Another woman?" Guo Xuyang was stunned when he heard Ye Zi's words. He sensed it and realized he had indeed forgotten about the woman.
