Following behind were Qin Xiweng and Xia Liuxun Mei.

Ye Hao walked out of Submarine No.2, which had positioned its rear hatch facing the landing point, so they didn't need to swim ashore and could simply walk up.

As Ye Hao came out, Zheng Guang, with tears in his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Young master, you finally returned."

Seeing Zheng Guang's expression, Ye Hao realized how worried his actions had made people. He patted Zheng Guang's shoulder and said, "I'm fine, no need to worry."

Zheng Guang sobbed for a moment, then Su Chenhong came forward and punched Ye Hao hard, saying, "You brat, even someone like me who's an Innate master wouldn't be as reckless as you. You caused such a commotion in someone else's Capital City. Don't you know your family would be worried?"

Even as he said this, Su Chenhong's face was filled with a smile, as if what Ye Hao did had earned him great pride.

"Hehe, no matter how reckless I am, it's all thanks to Grandpa's good teaching." Ye Hao credited Su Chenhong for his deeds.

Su Chenhong chuckled and scolded, "You brat, no need to flatter me. But what's this, bringing back a young lady on your trip? What's the story here?"

Su Chenhong asked this last question jokingly, without any interrogation intent. He trusted Ye Hao and didn't believe there was any inappropriate relationship, even with a woman accompanying him.

"She saved me in Tokyo and had nowhere to go, so I had to bring her back. Her name is Luo Yingxue," Ye Hao introduced.

Luo Yingxue wasn't shy, smiling as she greeted Su Chenhong, "Hello, uncle."

"Haha! You're calling me uncle? I'm Ye Hao's grandpa!" Su Chenhong was delighted to be thought of as younger.

"Uncle, you look so young. How could you be a grandpa? Clearly, Ye Hao is just envious of your youth," Luo Yingxue glanced at Ye Hao, genuinely doubting that Su Chenhong could be a grandparent.

"Haha! Exactly, exactly! The kid is just too envious of me," Su Chenhong was overjoyed, realizing he really did look so young that no one guessed his true age.

"Grandpa, stop kidding. Should Qingqing and I start calling you uncle then?" Ye Hao joked.

"You brat, if you're not afraid of Jin Yuan skinning you alive, you can try calling me uncle," Su Chenhong chuckled and scolded.

Grandfather and grandson chatted like this, and Qin Xiweng and the others didn't disturb Ye Hao, knowing that he had just returned from Jiepeng, and even if there were important matters, they could wait.

Su Chenhong and Ye Hao chatted for over half an hour, then Ye Hao turned to Qin Xiweng and asked, "How's everything with the Wealth Island lately?"

"Boss, there's only one issue that needs your attention," Qin Xiweng replied.

"What is it?" Ye Hao asked as he walked into the room on Wealth Island.

Luo Yingxue was taken to another room to rest.

Qin Xiweng and Ji Zhengxue followed Ye Hao into the room. Qin Xiweng said, "It's about the emergency supplies developed with Eastern Research Laboratory Co., Ltd."

"Does the military want this technology?" Ye Hao frowned and asked.

"Yes, and they are very aggressive, as if determined to acquire this technology," Qin Xiweng nodded.

"What does Chairman Dongfang say?" Ye Hao asked.

"Chairman Dongfang doesn't want to hand over the technology. However, whether to hand it over or not is ultimately up to us at Wealth Island. But when the military came, she didn't express any stance, acting like a bystander."

Ye Hao frowned upon hearing this. Dongfang Jiajia silent? Impossible, right? These emergency supplies were developed jointly with her company, yet she chose to stay silent?

"Does Chairman Dongfang have some difficulty?" Ye Hao asked.

"I'm not sure, but she seemed a bit under pressure," Qin Xiweng said.

"Forget it, don't worry about her. Protecting Wealth Island's technology is your responsibility as the CEO. Wealth Island has nothing to do with me," Ye Hao clearly stated to Qin Xiweng, highlighting that the company belonged to his girlfriend, Su Qing, and that Qin Xiweng was the executor for Wealth Island, so these matters should be handled by him.

Ye Hao chose to avoid the military for now, planning to emerge once things calmed down after Qin Xiweng rejected them.

"Understood," Qin Xiweng nodded with a smile.

"Yes, if push comes to shove and Chairman Dongfang doesn't speak up, terminate the project and end the cooperation with Eastern Research Laboratory Co., Ltd.," Ye Hao instructed.

"Understood," Qin Xiweng nodded.

Afterward, Ye Hao instructed for someone to take Luo Yingxue back to her home later, then left Wealth Island. Upon returning to the beach in Peng City, Ye Hao let Xue Zhaolong and the others out.

The three of them sighed with relief as they emerged.

"Boss, are we in... hey! We're in Peng City?" Xue Zhaolong looked around, asking in confusion.

"Where else would we be?" Ye Hao chuckled.

"Oh! We're really back?" Zhuorong Town looked around, recognizing the familiar environment despite it being past five in the afternoon.

"We're really back. Alright, everyone go home, find your mothers. I'm heading back too," Ye Hao laughed.

"Sure! Let's celebrate later, boss, we're off," the three wanted to have a little celebration, having successfully returned from Tokyo, so they left first.

Ye Hao nodded, then quickly headed toward Lin Ruyu's villa.

Meanwhile, Xue Zhaolong and the others went to a Wealth Island club and threw a party for all the brothers from Wealth Island, as they had shares there and could deduct the expenses from their annual dividends if needed.

In Lin Ruyu's villa, Lin Ruyu and Su Qing were anxiously waiting while holding Bai Linglong. Miao Su chuckled, "Stop worrying, the kid is back. What else is there to worry about?"

"I'm not worried, I'm watching TV," Lin Ruyu defended.

"Neither am I," Su Qing pouted in protest.

"You two little girls, your faces are full of resentment, like little grievance wives," Miao Su teased.

"No, no, Grandma, stop saying that," Lin Ruyu blushed.

Bai Linglong sweetly remarked, "Mom, you and Mrs. Qing are so beautiful!"

Lin Ruyu lightly flicked Bai Linglong's cheek and said, "Lulong is also very beautiful."

Just then, a beeping sound came from outside the door.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing turned their heads in unison. Upon seeing Ye Hao's bright and handsome smile, they excitedly entrusted Bai Linglong to Miao Su and ran over.

Lin Ruyu opened the door and then, together with Su Qing, embraced Ye Hao.

Silence spoke louder than words, expressing the long-awaited feelings of longing.

Ye Hao also held them tightly, thinking how they had suffered and resolving not to take such risks again in the future. (To be continued.
