The Mysterious Old Man, the Great Master

"Do you want to know?"

Li Fei raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, come to work an hour early to arrange the welcoming ceremony at the company, to welcome the new president and give him a fresh start. As for the identity of the new president..."

"Hehe, you'll know then."

Li Fei deliberately acted mysteriously and left them in suspense. After speaking, she turned and left.

The people looked at each other in blank dismay...

...

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Outside Nanning Airport in the southern suburbs of Quancheng, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped, the door opened, and three men and one woman got out of the car. It was Chen Shaohui who was preparing to leave Quancheng overnight with his mother to rush to the capital city.

The other two men were Chen family bodyguards responsible for protecting them.

"You go back first."

After getting off the car, Chen Shaohui said to the driver, "No matter what happens in Quancheng, you must notify me first. Also, be sure to protect my father's safety!"

"Yes, young master."

The driver nodded, then turned the car around and left Nanning Airport.

"Mom, let's go."

Chen Shaohui turned to look at his mother.

"Well."

Chen's mother nodded.

The mother and son walked ahead, followed by the two Chen family bodyguards. The four of them strode towards the departure hall across the road. On the way, Chen Shaohui hesitated again and again, but couldn't help asking, "Mom, do you really not know why my dad was in such a hurry to let us leave Quancheng?"

"I really don't know."

Chen's mother shook her head and sighed, "Your dad is stubborn. He keeps everything in his heart. But mom knows he must have his difficulties for doing this."

"Then my dad..."

Chen Shaohui said worriedly, "He won't get into trouble, right? I'm still worried and want to stay."

"No!"

Chen's mother shook her head firmly, "Listen to your dad's arrangement. He did this for us mother and son. If we insist on staying, we will only cause him more trouble."

"Then...alright."

Although extremely reluctant, Chen Shaohui didn't dare defy his parents.

Bang! Bang!

As the two were talking while walking, suddenly two muffled thuds came from behind, like something heavy falling to the ground. Although the sounds were not loud, they could be heard very clearly because of the short distance.

The mother and son stopped at the same time and looked back.

"What's this..."

"What's going on???"

What they saw gave them a big shock. The two Chen family bodyguards who were following them had inexplicably fainted and fallen to the ground behind them.

The strangest thing was that there were no outsiders around!

Chen Shaohui's heart skipped a beat. He bent down to check on the two bodyguards. At this moment, an old voice rang in his ears, "You don't really want to leave, do you?"

"Then don't leave!"

The voice came from behind and was very close, suddenly ringing out and giving a creepy feeling.

Chen Shaohui's scalp exploded in an instant!

"Ah!"

Chen's mother even screamed in fright.

However, before the mother and son could see what the other party looked like, they were hit hard on the back of their heads. Then their bodies stiffened, their heads dizzy, and they fell down unconscious just like the two bodyguards.

Across from them, a gray minivan raced over.

The minivan stopped in front of the four people. Two young men jumped out of the car and immediately carried the mother, son, and two bodyguards onto the car, throwing them on top of each other in the back row.

"Uncle Fu."

Then the young men looked respectfully at an old man standing there, waiting for the next instructions.

The old man looked to be in his sixties with white hair and beard and wrinkles all over his face. He was also somewhat hunchbacked, looking like an ordinary old man. But his eyes were piercing and unfathomable, as cold as the winter moon. Just meeting his gaze made people feel a bit of inexplicable uneasiness.

"Go on, follow the plan."

The hunchbacked old man said casually, then turned and walked away.

Given his age and physical condition, he should have walked slowly. But in the eyes of the young men, his decrepit figure disappeared into the coming and going crowd almost in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.

With every step, it was as if he could cross ten meters!

"Let's go!"

Not surprised by this, the young man turned around and got on the car. A moment later, the gray minivan sped away from Nanning Airport...

...

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Su's home in Fuyuan Community, Quancheng.

The lights were still on in Su Muqiu's room. At this time, Su Muqiu and Su Xiaomeng were wearing matching pajamas and lying side by side on the soft bed, while Xiao Zhan sat by the bedside telling Su Xiaomeng a story to lull her to sleep.

"In the third month after entering the army, your father participated in the military district competition. After many challenges, he finally came out on top and won the championship, becoming an undisputed soldier king..."

"Sweetie, sleep early. Tomorrow night, uncle will tell you about your dad winning the military district competition, okay?"

Xiao Zhan reached out and gently caressed Su Xiaomeng's forehead. His resolute face broke into a gentle smile like water.

"Okay!"

Su Xiaomeng gave a sweet smile, her chubby little face full of bliss. She turned and threw herself into Su Muqiu's arms, proudly saying, "Mom, you're right, my dad really is a super awesome hero, so powerful."

"When I grow up, I also want to join the army to find my dad."

Su Muqiu's face was filled with embarrassment.

She glared at Xiao Zhan, not understanding where he heard these so-called stories that he told vividly as if they were his own experience.

Not only Su Xiaomeng, even she was a little engrossed.

"Alright, alright."

Su Muqiu patted Su Xiaomeng on the back and nodded, "When Xiaomeng grows up, mom will go with you to find dad."

Soon, Su Xiaomeng fell asleep.

"Thank you."

Su Muqiu suddenly looked up at Xiao Zhan, her expression very serious.

Xiao Zhan was surprised, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for standing up for me again and again, and helping me vent; thank you for being so good to Xiaomeng and making up such a nice story to satisfy her longing for fatherly love; thank you also for keeping your promise and not having any improper thoughts about me..."

Su Muqiu's words came from the bottom of her heart.

After learning that Su Bingtian had betrothed her to a rapist, she was already in despair and had prepared herself to be "mistreated" by Xiao Zhan. Fortunately, Xiao Zhan was not like what was described in the investigation report.

On the contrary, he had been very caring towards their family!

This was a result Su Muqiu hadn't even dreamed of before. Although Xiao Zhan's identity and background puzzled her and she felt he must have other motives for getting close to her, through their interactions today, she could confirm Xiao Zhan was not a bad person.

For her, not being a bad person was already great!

"No need to thank me, I'm just doing what I should."

Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it is I who should thank you."

"Thank me???"

Su Muqiu was also surprised and asked with knitted brows, "What do you have to thank me for?"
