Taking advantage of the time that BaiLuoYin was sleeping, GuHai called JiangYuan.

"Ah, is this XiaoHai?" JiangYuan's tone sounded very surprised.

GuHai cleared his throat, "YinZi has been injured and is living with me."

"What? Injured?" JiangYuan immediately tensed up, "Where is he injured? Is it serious?"

"He's fine now." GuHai lowered his voice to explain, "The training missions have been too strenuous and his body was unable to tolerate it. So he's been here for a few days. But before he came, he did not request for leave from the leadership, so this could cause a bit of a problem."

JiangYuan immediately understood GuHai's intent. "Don't worry, I will explain it to the leaders and tell them that I missed my son so I forced him to stay at home for a few days. If they don't give me any respect, they have to at least give it to your dad."

GuHai satisfactorily responded, "Don't tell YinZi this."

"I know."

After hanging up the phone, JiangYuan was rather quite pleased. GuHai had willingly asked her for help. It seemed that GuHai has acknowledged her as his mother in his heart. Just as she was pondering about this, the door suddenly opened and GuWeiTing walked in.

"Oh, don't you have a meeting today?" JiangYuan surprisingly look at GuWeiTing.

GuWeiTing faintly replied on the side, "It's been temporarily canceled."

"Oh." JiangYuan turned back to look in the mirror.

"The Air Force just informed me that BaiLuoYin had been absent for a week without any explanations or reasons."

JiangYuan's action paused. She turned to look at GuWeiTing.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I took YinZi home."

GuWeiTing eyed JiangYuan with a trace of doubt, "You really took him home? How come I don't see him?"

"You've been out of town all week, how can you see him? He just left a while ago. I told him to go home to see his father. Then, I'll take him back to the military base." JiangYuan said it with such assertiveness that it sounded so much like the truth.

GuWeiTing groaned, "I just thought that he and XiaoHai might have mingled back together again."

JiangYuan looked on impatiently, "Can't your brain think of anything else? So what if they are living together? They are brothers and now that they have a business cooperation, that's even better! How come the taste is different when it's coming out of your mouth?"

"You're criticizing me?" GuWeiTing's face revealed a bit of unhappiness, "Who allowed you to take your son home without authorization? Do you not know that the military has its discipline? You always cause trouble, how will people see me?"

"You only think about yourself! How high are you going to rise up the ranks before you will stop?" JiangYuan says bitterly, "I can't even miss my son? Of course, when you want to see your son, you can easily just drive to his company, but when I want to see my son I have to look at people's faces, is it that easy for me?"

GuWeiTing did not want to hear JiangYuan nagging so he went straight to the kitchen and starting eating a cucumber.

"Who let you eat my cucumber?" JiangYuan is deliberately trying to pick a fight.

GuWeiTing looked down at the cucumber in his hand and then glanced at the vegetable basket, then casually replied, "Isn't there more?"

"This is the only thick and straight one. The others are not good."
