Gu Qingyun's facial expression twitched. He forced a smile, "Mr. Lin, I..."
"Enough, sit down."
At Lin Xiao's command, the Gu family father and son quickly sat down by the table.
"This year, I haven't visited your Gu family yet." Lin Xiao picked up a bottle of Moutai from the side and poured himself a glass. Strong liquor was something he used to use to numb himself, but two years ago, he quit.
Only by quitting alcohol could he keep his hands steady, protect all his soldiers in the Northern Frontier, and defend the country.
His experiences were too legendary, so legendary that he himself felt like he was dreaming. He had experienced too much and grown too fast... If he could, he would rather not have gone through so much, not have grown so fast.
Those nightmares were still vivid.
"This year, as you instructed, our Gu family has done our best in poverty alleviation and in helping various regions develop their economies, creating more job opportunities for people in the current Long Country. We have also assisted the police in Modu with many matters..." Gu Qingyun said, taking out a USB drive and placing it before Lin Xiao, "Mr. Lin, please have a look."
"Do you think I wouldn't know what you've done?"
Lin Xiao made no move to take the USB drive, looking at Gu Qingyun.
Gu Qingyun's expression stiffened. Indeed, if Lin Xiao wanted to know anything, he could know everything. Nothing within the Gu family could be hidden from Lin Xiao.
Nor could it be hidden from those above.
"Alright, let's eat first. With you two here, I've already thought of tomorrow's headlines," Lin Xiao shrugged.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I'll have people arrested immediately for spreading rumors," Gu Qingyun said at once, making a phone call.
Xun'er sat by the dining table, looking at the enticing and fragrant dishes laid out before her. She licked her lips.
Xun'er currently couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
"Eat first."
Lin Xiao glanced at her and quickly said to Xun'er beside him, "Baby, are you hungry? Eat first."
"Mmm!"
Xun'er said, picking up her chopsticks. Although she was just beginning to learn how to use chopsticks and wasn't very steady, she couldn't wait to reach for the sweet and sour pork ribs.
Luo Qinghan looked at the Gu family father and son sitting by the table, feeling as if she were dreaming.
Only Lin Xiao could command such an attitude from the Gu family father and son...
"Oh, right."
As Lin Xiao picked up his chopsticks, he said, "Your Master Ma, he has too many criminal records. A few days ago, I had the Nether Doctor cure him and then sent him to the police station."
"Is..."
Gu Hanyun's body trembled.
Master Ma committed many wrongdoings, but weren't most of his offenses because of... Gu Hanyun?
"Why are you trembling?"
Lin Xiao continued to eat, "Your father has been doing good deeds all these years to cover for you. What, you're scared now?"
"..."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Gu Qingyun's expression also changed, "Mr. Lin, are you implying that my son..."
"Don't rush yet."
Lin Xiao signaled to the father and son not to worry, "We haven't decided to cause trouble for your son yet. I haven't been to Modu for now, and you haven't provoked me. I'm just reminding you. If, and I say IF, some old man is displeased, your son will have only one outcome."
