97: The confused Wang family

Butler Wei nodded respectfully upon hearing this, "Yes, Young Lord, I will inform the people on the Master's side to bring them over tomorrow."

With that, he turned and left.

Before long, several male servants, dressed in diving suits, jumped into the lake.

Their task was simple: to check the conditions in the lake, such as the types and quantities of fish, and so on.

6 PM!

South of the Ranges! The Wang family!

Inside Wang Shaojun's (Young Lord) courtyard, a round dining table was set, laden with a bountiful spread of dishes; chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, and crab were all present.

In the adjacent room, Wang Jianjun took two packs of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator, then shouted upstairs, "Dinner's ready!"

Soon after, a male and a female figure quickly ran down from upstairs.

They were Wang Jianjun's daughter, Wang Yuyan, and son, Wang Xiaochen.

Both were wearing the same high school uniform, indicating that they were a few years younger than Wang Shaojun.

"Dad, are you going to drink with Uncle? Aren't you supposed to drive us back to school?"

Wang Xiaochen asked, puzzled, seeing the beer in Wang Jianjun's hand.

He was in his final year of high school and would be taking the college entrance exam in June next year. Fortunately, the school wasn't far from home, only about a ten-minute drive.

He could occasionally go home to get some extra nutrition, though 'occasionally' was quite frequent.

As for the school's food, it was edible, but only just. As for nutrition? Nutrition? What's that?

As long as he didn't starve!

Wang Jianjun, hearing this, suddenly remembered something and laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, well, I just took them out to see if they were expired."

He then reluctantly put the beer back into the refrigerator.

Wang Yuyan's face showed an expression of 'I don't believe you for a second,' but she didn't expose him.

The two families gathered around the dining table in the courtyard and began their dinner.

This was their custom; they would gather for a meal on the last day of every month.

"Wow, this is so lavish! Hehe, I'm in for a treat today."

"Mm-hmm, this fish is so fresh."

"Less talk, eat quickly, so I can take you to school."

Seeing this, Wang Jianguo couldn't help but think of Wang Shaojun far away in Jiangcheng, and his two siblings, Wang Yuxin, who was studying in Modu, wondering if they had such good food to eat.

Just as they were chatting and eating, two men suddenly walked in from outside.

With unexpected visitors, everyone had to stop what they were doing and turn their gaze towards them.

Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat grave.

Because they sensed something different about the men; although they were dressed like villagers, their demeanor told them that these visitors were not simple.

Recalling the previous incident of being monitored, could this be related?

The two Bodyguards hadn't expected that merely showing their faces, without even speaking a word, would lead Wang Jianguo and his brother to conjure up an entire story.

"Is there anything you need?"

Wang Jianguo was the first to ask.

Wang Jianjun silently stood in front of Wang Yuyan and Wang Xiaochen. Seeing this, Wang Xiaochen sensed the sudden tension in the atmosphere, slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and took his sister's hand.

If things went south, he would immediately drag her and run.

The reason for this thought was that after Wang Jianjun and his brother returned from Southeast Asia, their demeanor had completely changed and no longer resembled that of villagers.

Moreover, he had seen their injuries, and it was clear that what his father and uncle did in Southeast Asia was definitely not as simple as working as laborers.

The two Bodyguards hadn't expected that their mere entrance would make their Master's family feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

If Young Master Wang knew, wouldn't they be in trouble? Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, "No need to be nervous. We were sent by Young Master Wang. Uh, that is, your son, Wang Shaojun."

At these words, everyone's faces were filled with utter bewilderment.

Especially Mr. and Mrs. Wang Jianguo; hearing this, they exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Wang Jianguo couldn't fathom how the visitors could be related to his son.

This left him completely perplexed. Didn't he know what his son was like?

Surely, he couldn't have achieved such great heights in such a short time, could he?

Seeing this, the Bodyguard knew that whatever he said, they wouldn't believe him. He said helplessly, "I know you don't believe me, but you can call Young Master Wang now, and then our identities will be proven."

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo didn't hesitate, quickly took out his phone, and dialed Wang Shaojun's (Young Lord) number.

The phone rang twice, then was answered, and Wang Shaojun's (Young Lord) familiar voice came through.

"Dad?"

"Shaojun, two extraordinary men have come to the house. They said you sent them?"

Wang Shaojun heard this, immediately slapped his forehead, and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, I forgot to call and tell you. I sent them. Tomorrow, bring Mom and Second Uncle up to Modu. From now on, we'll live in Modu."

Wang Jianguo was even more confused upon hearing this.

It really was his son who sent them? This isn't right. His son only graduated half a year ago. Even with the speed of an airplane, he couldn't have achieved this much, could he?

This wasn't to belittle Wang Shaojun, but it was the truth.

Going from zero to one is the most difficult process, and he was very clear about that.

Seeing that his father wasn't speaking, Wang Shaojun understood his feelings at the moment, estimating that his current mood was even more complicated than the wires in an electrical cabinet at a factory.

"Dad, it's hard to explain in a few words over the phone. You'll understand when you all arrive in Modu tomorrow. Oh, and don't forget to have Second Uncle bring Yuyan and Xiaochen along too. I'll arrange for someone to go to their school and transfer them to a high school here in Modu."

"You... I... Alright, we'll talk when we get to Modu tomorrow."

Wang Jianguo wanted to speak but stopped, eventually asking nothing.

He wanted to see what his son had become.

Although he had many questions in his heart now, he still held back.

After hanging up the phone, he turned and nodded to Wang Jianjun.

Seeing this, his brother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, these two really were sent back by his elder nephew.

Thinking of this, he turned to Wang Xiaochen and said, "Go inside and bring out two stools."

Wang Xiaochen, hearing this, dared not ask further and quickly ran into the house, bringing out two red South of the Ranges Province stools.

"Gentlemen, please sit down. Have you eaten? Would you like to join us?"

Wang Jianguo looked at the two Bodyguards and gestured for them to sit.

They thought for a moment, then finally sat down, knowing that Wang Jianguo surely had many questions for them now.

As expected, as soon as they sat down, Wang Jianguo asked curiously, "What kind of work is Shaojun doing now?"

What kind of work?

The Bodyguard paused at the question, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That... we cannot answer. However, you can search for Young Master Wang's name on TikTok; there should be information you want to know there."
