“Daddy, is that uncle an awesome hero, like a Marvel superhero?” Ye Xicheng asked, lying on Gu Juexi’s legs. Despite having only one leg and an arm, he fought with those guards for a long time.

“Yes, the uncle is a very awesome hero,” Gu Juexi answered.

“The policies have been revised now. I believe that the country will have better arrangements for these special retired veterans, don’t worry,” Ye Yuwei offered words of comfort.

Gu Juexi felt like a heavy stone was crushing him and it was hard for him to breathe.

“Daddy, Mommy—” Xixi came running from the other side of the resort. She dashed up the stairs, clutched Ye Yuwei’s leg tightly and whined, “Brother doesn’t want to play with me. We were supposed to play hide and seek, but I’d been hiding for so long and he never sought me.”

“I’m going for a walk,” Gu Juexi uttered under his breath. He raised to his feet and went out swiftly.

Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi’s lonely back who slowly walked away from them, and shifted her gaze at her puzzled daughter.

Ye Xicheng gazed at the floor with his downcast eyes, his little brain processing something only known to himself.

“Mommy, why doesn’t he go back?” Suddenly, Ye Xicheng lifted his head and looked at Gu Juexi. Despite his young age, he understood full well what was going on. Uncle Yu and Old Captain had visited his father on several occasions but he refused to return to the military.

On the contrary, that place seemed to be very important to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so angry today.

Important, yet refused to return. This was what he couldn’t comprehend.

“Some places aren’t meant to return to, even if you want to. Perhaps, they are meant to be kept away in the back of your mind.” Again, Ye Yuwei gazed at the direction where Gu Juexi left. She didn’t know how to explain to her son the remark that she couldn’t understand herself.

Ye Xicheng balled up his fists and made up his mind.

Ye Yuwei left Gu Juexi alone and she asked her children not to disturb Gu Juexi too. She obtained Ma Zhong’s contact details from the manager, planning to provide assistance in another way.

These soldiers had their ego and pride and would reject gratuitous support of any kind. She must think of a way to help them.

At the moment, the sun was setting. PA Wen was the first to arrive at the resort.

After he got out of his car, he scanned around and frowned when he couldn’t find a single security guard. He opened the car door for his mother.

Even though the resort was still not opened for business, the security guards must not leave their posts unattended. He decided that he would speak to the manager regarding the guards’ unprofessionalism later.

“This place is so nice,” Mrs. Wen looked around and complimented. The resort was full of bright illumination, with the night view so picturesque and as breathtaking as the morning view.

“This is a resort under Gu Enterprise that has not opened for business yet. We’ll stay here for two days,” PA Wen said. The question was still popping in his mind—where were the guards?

Not a single mistake was allowed to happen in this resort right now, as the CEO was planning to have his wedding here. He must grill the manager later.

“Wen Tao, Wen Tao—”

Wen Tao heard his mother’s call and looked at her after regaining his focus. “Mom, what’s going on?”

“What’s wrong with you? I call you so many times, can’t you hear me?” Mrs. Wen stared at her son and asked in concern tone, “Is everything okay?”

“Yes, everything’s fine,” PA Wen answered and ushered his parents to the lobby.

“A warm welcome to PA Wen, Mr. Wen, Mrs. Wen—”

As soon as PA Wen stepped foot into the lobby, the manager guided his staff into a side by side lineup and welcomed them.

PA Wen was dumbstruck upon the scene. What was this? He didn’t arrange for any of these.
