This was Gu Qingyun's first Mid-Autumn Festival spent at someone else's home.
It wasn't that he wanted to, but he couldn't leave…
The reason was that Lin Xiao had extended a difficult-to-refuse invitation to his entire family.
At any other time, he would have felt incredibly honored. Who was Lin Xiao? To personally invite him for a festival – didn't this signify that his Gu family would build a connection with Lin Xiao in the future?
But this time… when Lin Xiao invited him, it seemed to be because of his daughter.
That's right, it was because of Gu Yunyun.
He didn't know how it happened, but Lin Xiao's attitude towards Gu Yunyun had undergone a 180-degree turn. Not only had his attitude towards Gu Yunyun improved, but his entire family had also received an invitation.
However, the problem was that Lin Xiao had shown this in front of Luo Qinghan, and the implication was clear: if it wasn't because of his daughter, there must be another reason.
Could this be a final dinner for him and his son? To give Gu Hanyun a good meal before he was dealt with?
He couldn't figure it out…
From Lin Xiao's attitude and a few small details, Luo Qinghan had sensed it… this guy was thanking Gu Yunyun because of her they had done something last night.
Especially since Lin Xiao kept winking at him for no reason.
Looking at him like this, he really didn't seem like a Dragon King.
Just as Lin Xiao was starting to cook, preparing a grand feast, a piece of news arrived, interrupting his festival.
"Brother Xiao."
Ming Yi's voice came through the phone: "Rats have entered Long Country."
Rats.
Lin Xiao put down the cleaver in his hand. Without any hesitation, he walked out of the kitchen. He had already changed his clothes and, after telling Luo Qinghan, "I have some work to do," he darted out.
Luo Qinghan was about to call out to Lin Xiao, but the words didn't leave her lips.
What was Lin Xiao's work?
It was to protect Long Country. At this time, he was going to work…
Even Gu Qingyun frowned immediately: "Someone's courting death on this day?"
After saying that, he picked up his phone. If they wouldn't let him have a good festival, that person was doomed.
Less than thirty seconds after Lin Xiao left, a helicopter appeared above his head. A rope ladder was lowered, and he grabbed it as the helicopter began to ascend.
By the time he entered the helicopter, it had already become a small dot in the sky.
"These rats are just here to annoy us," Lin Xiao said as he got onto the helicopter and took the documents from Ming Yi. He continued, "I told you, our prevention measures against viruses have reached this point, yet there are still outbreaks in high-risk areas. So that's how it is, they're truly persistent?"
"Brother Xiao, this group of people is carrying equipment," Ming Yi said. "From the video footage we've seen so far, they should be a secret unit from the United States, and we can't confirm yet if this small team is one of those teams that came out of the biological laboratories."
"Are they here to take us down with them?" Lin Xiao said as he put on a gas mask and changed into his combat uniform.
"Before this, the United States had deployed three batches of rats into our country, and one batch was intercepted," Ming Yi said. "However, at that time, Brother Xiao, you were still in the Northern Territory, and this matter didn't concern us directly."
