Tong Bailong rushed through the door, only to be met with bad news that left everyone inside staring at each other in shock. They quickly urged Tong Bailong to take a moment to catch his breath before he slowly began to explain.
Tong Bailong gulped down a large glass of water, leaving Sisi, who was hearing about him for the first time, wide-eyed and speechless. She marveled inwardly at this man; not only was he tall and strong, but his physique was extraordinary. Despite being out of breath, he could drink so much water without any apparent ill effects—truly a remarkable individual.
After calming himself slightly, Tong Bailong looked at the solemn-faced Jufeng and explained, “I was originally protecting Sister Dai and the others when a member of the Azure Wind Antelope team from Earth found me and delivered this news. Hua Gang has defected, Flower Snow Moon has been captured, and not only has Mu Zhongde been released to regain control of the Unification Alliance, but they have also allied with the United Heart Association to suppress us. Brother… I can barely hold on.”
Upon hearing this, Jufeng abruptly stood up from the sofa, his brow furrowed as he stared intently at Tong Bailong. After a long moment, he slowly sat back down.
The large room fell silent; one could hear a pin drop as everyone held their breath, afraid to make even the slightest sound.
Those familiar with Jufeng knew that for something to shake Feng Shao, who usually took everything lightly, it must be extremely serious.
Liu Gulang and Guo Hua were unaware of the situation on Earth and thus remained silent. Manager Guo was a busy man with numerous business matters to attend to; however, it was inconvenient for him to leave at this moment. Liu Gulang exchanged a glance with him, reassuring him not to worry too much.
Bill had been a witness alongside Jufeng throughout their journey, so hearing Tong Bailong's words left him equally shocked. He couldn't fathom why Hua Gang would betray Jufeng and release their mortal enemy Mu Zhongde.
With Bill absent, Wade was fully responsible for Jufeng's intelligence system. The failure of Hidden Hall to detect this issue in time weighed heavily on him. While everyone else remained silent, he felt compelled to speak up.
“Brother Jufeng, Wade…”
Bill's words were just beginning when Jufeng gestured for him to stop. “You can't blame everything on yourselves. If it's Wade's fault, he will naturally apologize to me once we return to Earth.”
Upon hearing this, Bill chose not to say anything further.
Jufeng weighed his options in his mind; it seemed he had no choice but to return to Earth! Even without Hua Gang's betrayal, he needed to address matters concerning the Terrorist organization back home. With both situations urging him to leave, it appeared that staying on Magellanic Star was no longer feasible.
Jufeng steadied himself; since the events had already unfolded, worrying wouldn't help. The priority now was to return to Earth as soon as possible. He turned to Guo Hua and said, “Old Guo, Lone Wolf, it seems I must once again take my leave. I’ll entrust things here to you while I check on Sister Dai and then head back immediately.”
Liu Gulang and Guo Hua quickly agreed without hesitation. Jufeng then departed with Tong Bailong towards the venue where Sister Dai and the others were attending an event. As for returning to Earth, Jufeng didn’t mention it explicitly, but Bill understood that it was something he needed to prepare for.
As Jufeng and the burly man hurried out, Sisi lifted her head and looked at Vera, whose expression was no longer as relaxed as before. Her pure heart couldn't help but feel worried.
"Sister, is brother in trouble?"
Vera nodded, then bent down to affectionately stroke Sisi's hair, smiling kindly as she said, "But don’t worry, Sisi. There’s nothing in this world that can defeat him."
Jufeng left the headquarters of Zongheng Express and arrived at the airport with Tong Bailong. They boarded a plane heading to another hemisphere. The journey didn't take long, and by the time dusk fell, they had reached the place where Sister Dai and the others were.
The press conference was just coming to an end when Jufeng seamlessly blended into the crowd below. Perhaps it was due to that unspoken connection; as soon as he appeared, he caught Lu Qijia's eye.
Sister Dai couldn’t remember how she continued with the next activities; she simply stared blankly at Jufeng, her eyes brimming with tears.
Claudia, standing nearby, keenly noticed Lu Qijia's unusual behavior. Following her gaze, she naturally spotted the man she both loved and hated. With a slight upward curve of her lips and a knowing look in her eyes, she realized he had been lost in his own world for such a long time.
Claudia felt momentarily dazed but quickly regained her composure. She informed the staff that today’s event would come to a temporary halt. Although the staff were puzzled, they understood Claudia's strong personality in business and complied accordingly.
The sisters walked toward the backstage as the crowd gradually dispersed, and Jufeng vanished into the throng.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the venue, two people were embracing each other!
"Did you miss me?"
Jufeng felt the warmth in his arms and gently brushed his cheek against Lu Qijia's fragrant hair. It was only at such moments that he truly felt at peace, as if holding the entire world in his embrace.
Lu Qijia choked up and couldn't speak; she simply nodded repeatedly. Tears overflowed as she poured out her feelings of longing and sorrow on Jufeng's shoulder. After what felt like an eternity, they finally parted to gaze into each other's eyes. In less than a second, their lips met again passionately, lost in each other.
After a while, night had fully descended. Jufeng and Lu Qijia stepped out of the room to find the living room brightly lit. Second Sister, Eldest Sister, and Claudia were all there; the most harmonious scene was Tong Bailong happily enjoying a meal nearby.
Having rushed to find Jufeng without even having dinner earlier, they could no longer hold back their hunger and had ordered late-night snacks to satisfy their empty stomachs.
As two people emerged, everyone in the living room turned to look. Some merely glanced before quickly lowering their heads again, while others stared intently at the pair, causing Lu Qijia's cheeks to flush a deep red.
"Sis, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think Brother Feng is even more handsome now?"
Liu Xiao scoffed disdainfully and said, "I was checking if our Jia'er was being bullied. You, did you bully our Sister Dai? Otherwise, how come I heard Sister Dai's cries coming from inside just now? Come on, spill the beans."
Liu Xiao's words left everyone momentarily stunned, and three black lines appeared on their foreheads. The most embarrassed was Lu Qijia, who wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in. She shot a reproachful glance at the grinning Jufeng, which only made him more gleeful.
Jufeng laughed it off and walked over to Liu Xiao, playfully tousling her hair to brush the matter aside. He knew he would be returning to Earth soon, while Lu Qijia's journey in this world was just beginning, so she couldn’t leave right away.
Jufeng surveyed the others, unsure of their plans. Returning to Earth carried immense risks, and the likelihood of involving the sisters was low. However, since Mu Zhongde had already stumbled at Jufeng's hands, his caution would undoubtedly increase a hundredfold. Thus, this return would be a significant battle.
