Chapter 377: Means

Fu Mingya’s eyes lit up startlingly the moment she saw Qin Wenhao.

"Sis, Brother-in-law—"

Hearing that saccharine, affected voice, Mrs. Fu was so disgusted she felt like she was going to puke.

"You have some nerve. We cut ties with your family a long time ago. Who do you think you’re calling brother-in-law?"

"Mom, don’t be angry. Since they’ve come to the base to cause a scene, just let me handle this."

’Good thing I got here in time.’

’Otherwise, my mother-in-law would’ve been bullied.’

’Besides, I need to deal with this quickly. I have a mission to head out on soon.’

Mrs. Fu wanted to tell him it was fine, but when she met her son-in-law’s eyes, she released her grip.

Finding herself free, Old Mrs. Fu was about to start wailing at the top of her lungs—

But Qin Wenhao’s voice beat her to it. "Someone, take them away."

The moment he gave the command, two soldiers stepped forward.

"You... what are you trying to do?"

"Take them away."

Qin Wenhao wasn’t about to waste time reasoning with them or giving some long-winded lecture.

The two soldiers immediately led them away.

Qin Wenhao went with them.

Director Xie: ...?

Mrs. Fu: ...?

’Huh? Is my son-in-law always this forceful?’

’Will this cause problems for him?’

Perhaps sensing her worry, Director Xie stepped forward to reassure her. "Aunty, don’t worry. Qin Wenhao is very measured."

"Okay, I understand." Thinking of her own earlier behavior, Mrs. Fu said, embarrassed, "I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now—"

Director Xie quickly replied, "It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it."

"Well, I’ll head back then. The two kids are at home—"

Mrs. Fu returned to the family quarters.

She felt she had been a bit reckless earlier.

Luckily, the family quarters were some distance from Director Xie’s office—and there happened to be no one around.

No one in the family quarters had seen or heard her dragging and cursing at those people.

When she got home, she expected to see her daughter, but she was nowhere to be found.

’Did my daughter not come back? Or did she go straight to the factory?’

She thought for a moment, then decided to set that aside for now. She went next door to bring the two children back home.

──

Qin Wenhao returned two hours later.

Seeing him return, Mrs. Fu hurried forward and asked, "Wenhao, they—"

"Mom, I put them on a train. Don’t worry, they won’t be coming back. Also, no one else from the Fu family will come here either."

"Ah, you sent them away? How could they have been willing to leave?"

Mrs. Fu was stunned.

’Based on what I know about that old hag—there’s no way she’d go back so easily.’

’She would definitely have to raise a huge ruckus here first.’

"I just mentioned her eldest son and eldest grandson. As for the younger one, as long as the old one was willing to leave, the younger one had to go whether she wanted to or not."

Mrs. Fu: ...?

’My son-in-law is that capable?’

’Still, that was exactly the right move.’

’That damned old hag treasures her eldest son and grandson more than anything.’

’If anyone messes with them—she’d probably risk her own life.’

’They’re the apple of her eye.’

"Mom, Mingxue needs to stay in Beijing City for a while longer—probably about half a month for her work at the Beijing Research Institute. I have to leave for a mission today and might be gone for a long time, so I’ll have to ask you to look after the children."

Mrs. Fu had been about to ask her son-in-law what kind of leverage he had on that father and son.

But now that she heard he was leaving for a mission, she couldn’t spare a thought for anything else.

"You’re leaving on your mission today? You have to be careful. Don’t you worry about things at home. I’m here, and I’ll make sure the children are well taken care of."

"Thanks, Mom. I’ll get going, then."

"Be safe, and come home in one piece!" Mrs. Fu urged, unable to shake her concern.

She was still shaken by his injury from last time.
