Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes were filled with sincerity. At the same time, there was also a hint of helplessness in them—

“We often want to be like a devout guardian who wants to protect the things we care about and the people we care for, but we are afraid of our own insignificance. I don’t want to become that kind of person.”

“But you will be under a lot of pressure. This way, you will also make the people around you feel a lot of pressure.”

Dongfang Gan moved a cup of tea to her side while he picked up another cup and took a simple sip.

“A few days ago, I accidentally saw a saying that goes like this — life is like a pressure cooker. If you are under too much pressure, you will get used to it. How to share the pressure and disperse it is also crucial. Don’t expect yourself to have the strength to hold up the sky that you want, that would be foolish. By the time you manage to hold it up, you will no longer have the chance to enjoy it.”

“I understand, father.”

Dongfang Liuyun listened and was silent for a long time before she said, “Anyway, he is involved in it. As for Grandma... I hope father can...”

“He’s my son-in-law now, would I treat him poorly? You know that you’re concerned about your mother’s attitude. It’s not a matter of a day or two before your mother is satisfied with Fujiwara. Although Qi Lei’s family background isn’t bad, your mother’s preconceived notions have always been very strong. It’ll probably take some time for Qi Lei to completely satisfy her. Not to mention that Qi Lei’s reputation was in tatters before this,” said Dongfang Gan helplessly.

“Fujiwara may not be that great either. Father, you’re not the kind of person who only looks at surface.”

“I know that you and Fujiwara... Sigh, a few days ago, Lan Xiu called me. He might be coming over for dinner tomorrow. Do you want to come back and visit?” Dongfang Gan took a deep breath and asked.

Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment before replying, “No, I want to go back to De Bao House tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there. Uncle Ming called me several times and asked me to go over to take a look. He just collected a few new items.”

“As you wish. I’ll let him know that you’re busy.”

“Okay.”

..

The father and daughter continued chatting. Dongfang Liuyun noticed that it was about time, so she left the study.

Qi Lei had been waiting downstairs for quite a while.

The couple said goodbye to Dongfang Gan before heading straight to the airport.

At the airport entrance, Yang Sheng and a few other bodyguards in black were already waiting there.

Dongfang Liuyun slowly pulled the car to the side and stopped.

“Be careful now, take care of yourself. Give me a call when you get there.”

After steadily stopping the car, Dongfang Liuyun turned to look at the man beside her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qi Lei unfastened his seatbelt and turned to look at her. He suddenly nodded. After some thought, he finally could not control himself and reached out to grab her shoulders. He planted a kiss on her lips. After lingering for a while, he let go—

“Don’t worry. You take care of yourself too. I’m leaving now.”

With that, he opened the car door and put on his sunglasses as he swiftly got out of the car.

He was in a hurry and did not stay any longer. Under the protection of the few of them, he walked straight into the airport.

Seeing his tall figure disappear at the entrance, Dongfang Liuyun eased up a little. Only then did she slowly start the car and leave...

..

It was evening, and the sun was still hot.

At the Northern Traffic Control Bureau.

Secretary He carried a document and quickly passed through the imposing gatehouse. Soon, he went straight to Su Chen’s office.

In Su Chen’s office, when Secretary He knocked on the door, Su Chen was on the phone with Chief Huang of the Central Bureau.

It should be about the car accident again. It could be seen that the higher-ups were very anxious. Su Chen’s face was also tensed up, and he did not look too good...

“Chief Huang, I got it. I will handle it impartially. Let them wait for the news!”

Secretary He could also hear the dissatisfaction in Su Chen’s words. When he heard Chief Huang on the other end of the line, Su Chen slammed the phone into the landline.

“Chief Su, are they urging us again?”

“They’re going too far! They should be responsible for this matter. How can they be so confident with such a request? I’ll see what they can do!” Su Chen said coldly.

“Chief Su, there’s no need to be angry. No matter how unreasonable they are, they can’t go against the people from the military region. The information we just got back from there are very serious this time. It’s definitely necessary to investigate. Tomorrow afternoon, the military region will send people to coordinate with this matter. This is the information.” Secretary He said as he handed the document in his hand to Su Chen.

Su Chen quickly took it and flipped it open to take a look. Only then did his tightly knitted brows relax a little. “Do you know who the person sent by the military region is?”

“I don’t know yet, but the other party’s background isn’t small to begin with. This matter has gotten a little huge, and the two officers above are already a little unhappy. If this matter isn’t resolved perfectly, I’m worried that...” Secretary He said with some hesitation.

Su Chen also raised his hand slightly to stop him—

“I know what to do. Chief Huang just threw this burden to me because of my network. This old fox! Let them do as they are told, and the result will be as it is. We aren’t the only ones who have come to a conclusion. I just heard that there should be someone on Chief Huang’s side.”

“Yes, I got it, Chief Su!”

“Go and make your preparations first. Tomorrow, there will be people from the military region. Naturally, they will also need to look at the information.”

“Alright, Chief Su!”

Secretary He then retreated.

Only then did Su Chen lean against the back of the chair behind him. He could not help but feel a headache coming on.

...

At dusk, at the headquarters of Military Region A.

A military jeep drove like a strong wind towards the heavily guarded entrance of the headquarters and stopped in front of the door.

The security guard by the door quickly walked towards the car and saluted the officer in the driver’s seat—

“Hello, please show me your identification!”

The driver quickly rolled down the window and a small military-green figure came into view—

It was a pretty and slightly serious oval face, a pair of beautiful black eyebrows, skin as white as jade, a sharp chin, and a pair of eyes filled with the sharpness of forbearance. She had crimson red lips, and her hair was all tied up behind her head. She was wearing a summer uniform and looked a little petite, however, her aura could not be concealed.

She was definitely a beauty!

She handed her identification card to the guard. After the guard confirmed it, he let her pass. The woman swiped her card, opened the door, and drove the car in.

This was the headquarters of the military region. Compared to the administrative region below, it was naturally more heavily guarded. As they drove along the straight road, the sound of soldiers training could be heard. Turning at a corner, they immediately saw the majestic headquarters.
