Seizing the time that Bai Luo Yin was asleep, Gu Hai gave Jiang Yuan a call.

"Hello, Xiao Hai. Is that you?" Jiang Yuan said, her voice sounded rather surprised.

Gu Hai cleared his throat, "Yin Zi had been injured, so he's been staying at my place."

"What? He was injured?" Jiang Yuan immediately became anxious. "Where did he get injured? Was it serious?"

"He recovered already." Gu Hai lowered his voice to explain, "Since his training missions have been too excessive recently, his body wasn't able to tolerate it all. He came to my place to rest for a few days, but he wasn't able to notify his commander beforehand or request a leave of absence. That might cause some troubles when he returns to the base."

Hearing that, Jiang Yuan immediately understood the implication. "Don't worry, I'll speak to his commander and explain that I miss my son and force him to stay home for a few days. Even if he doesn't respect me, he has to respect your dad."

Feeling satisfied, Gu Hai simply said, 'okay' and added, "Don't tell Yin Zi about this."

"I know."

After hanging up, Jiang Yuan felt rather content that Gu Hai had willingly asked her for assistance. That alone, indicated to her he has acknowledged her as a mother from the bottom of his heart. While she was still in her thoughts, the door suddenly opened, and Gu Wei Ting walked in.

"Hey, weren't you supposed to attend a meeting today?" Jiang Yuan looked at him with surprise.

Gu Wei Ying nodded and unenthusiastically replied, "It was cancelled in the last minute."

"Oh." Jiang Yuan turned around and continued to look at herself in the mirror.

"I received a call from the Air Force just a moment ago, informing that Bai Luo Yin has been absent for a week without any reason."

Upon hearing that, all of Jiang Yuan's movement halted before she twirled around to look at Gu Wei Ting.

"Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you that I brought Yin Zi home."

There were hints of suspicion in his gaze, "Are you really the one who brought him home? How come I haven't seen him?"

"You've been working elsewhere for the entire week, how would you have seen him? He left a while ago since I let him to go visit his dad. I'll take him back to the base later." Jiang Yuan said as if it was the truth.

Gu Wei Ting sneered coldly, "I thought he was involved with Xiao Hai again."

Jiang Yuan pretended to be annoyed, "Can you think about something else other than that? Even if the two of them lived together, so what? They are brothers. Plus, they are also collaborating on a business transaction. That is certainly a great ordeal! Why do things always become so foul whenever it comes out of your mouth?"

"Are you blaming me?" Gu Wei Ting's expression appeared to be somewhat displeased. "Who told you to bring him back without permission? Don't you know that the military have their own rules and regulations? If you keep violating the system like this, how do you expect everyone to look at me?"

"You're only concern about yourself! When are you going to stop thinking about only how to rise through the ranks, huh?" Jiang Yuan continued with resentment, "Can't I miss my son? When you miss your son, all you have to do is simply drive to his company? But when I want to see my son for just one second, I have to be cautious as to not hurt your reputation every time. How is that easy on me?"
