After finishing dinner with his wife and son, Gu Jue prepared to leave the house again.
Su Wan fastened the buttons on his military uniform and said in a low voice, "I don’t know if the Bai Family had any involvent, but when things were dangerous, Bai Nanxi was trying to push and Xiaochen into the insect pile."
Insect pile was a bit of an exaggeration.
But who doesn’t embellish the story a bit when complaining?
That woman Bai Nanxi is never up to any good!
If given the chance, she would even push Su Wan into a nest of Lucifer’s octopus tentacles!
Not to ntion, perhaps the Bai Family isn’t innocent at all.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jue’s handso face darkened as he said, "It’s ti for Bai Yu to be sentenced."
Su Wan was satisfied, her lips curling up in a smile. Having completed her little tattletale act, she leaned in and kissed the corner of her beloved Commander’s mouth.
"Ajue, are you very busy today? If you won’t be coming ho tonight, rember to let know."
"Mhm."
In fact, of course, Gu Jue would make sure to co back.
Being busy all day and only having one al with his wife was far from satisfying for him.
After Gu Jue left, Su Wan took the baby back to the nursery, then proceeded to deal with the restaurant business.
The restaurant hadn’t required much attention from her lately, thanks to a series of rules and regulations she had put in place quite a while ago.
Initially, the managers of the restaurant did not take Su Wan seriously.
She was too young.
And so were on better terms with Su Zhen.
After all, they had been working with him for twenty or thirty years.
However, when Su Wan demonstrated her deft managent skills, bringing the First Star District restaurant to life, everyone slowly began to see her in a new light.
As the subsidiaries’ performances soared following Su Wan’s business strategies, they no longer had anything to say.
Nobody would turn their backs on money after all.
Thus, for the past two years, the managers of every subsidiary branch were completely convinced by Su Wan.
The District Manager of the Tenth District was Du Yue, twenty-nine years old.
Despite her youth, her father had previously been the manager of the Third District for the Su Family restaurant.
When he stepped down, he recomnded his daughter to take over the role in the Third District, and Du Yue passed the test.
But when Su Wan was looking for soone to manage the Tenth District, Du Yue volunteered proactively.
After going through the selection process, Su Wan ultimately chose Du Yue to be the manager of the Tenth District branch.
Because of this, Du Yue’s father was so upset with her.
Everyone knew the Tenth District was a ss!
Fortunately, Su Wan had previously made arrangents with the local security bureau, and Mr. G—oh, that is, Gu Jue—had given the orders, so the security bureau sent people to patrol the area regularly.
At first, there were those who tried to stir up trouble, but they were quickly subdued.
Eventually, everyone recognized the backing of the Su Family restaurant and dared not cause any disturbances.
It was Du Yue’s turn to report to Su Wan, and she brought up an issue.
"Boss, I just heard sothing—the Tenth District is going to open a fighting arena."
"A fighting arena? Like those underground arenas on N69 Star?"
Du Yue: "It’s said to be operated by the sa owner as the one on N69, but it probably won’t be like that one, as there are certain shady aspects."
Su Wan understood.
To be honest, if an underground fighting arena of that nature really opened, it would likely affect the entire Tenth District.
Su Wan: "Du, pay close attention to this matter. If sothing affects the Su Family restaurant and you can’t handle it, let know imdiately."
Du Yue: "Sure, no problem."
Su Wan, "By the way, Sister Du, how are things going with you and my uncle?"
Since Du Yue beca the manager of the Tenth District and Su Teng spent a lot of ti there,
many people have been trying to set them up.
Du Yue said helplessly, "Us, let’s not even go there, your uncle has soone he likes already."
Su Wan was curious, "Who does uncle like?"
Du Yue, "The Food God."
Su Wan, "Cough cough cough cough!"
How co her disguise always ended up deceiving her own family!
Su Wan rembered when she disguised herself as a man before and her friend Sheng An developed a crush on her.
Later, when she revealed her true identity as a woman, the result...
Su Wan said, "I suspect that what my uncle likes is not the person the Food God herself, but her cooking skills!"
Du Yue, "Who knows, there’s actually no difference. Even though he knows that the Food God is already married, he still says he only likes won like the Food God."
After ending the call with Du Yue, Su Wan considered whether or not to tell the truth to her uncle.
Or, perhaps just drop the disguise altogether.
After all, Ajue knew about it now.

In the conference room, the head of the Security Bureau looked up at Emperor Gu Zilan, who was silent, and then at the equally silent Commander Gu Jue.
The head of the Security Bureau said, "Our people have done an investigation and only found so insect eggs, which proves that soone put insect eggs inside the delivered movie canister."
"The person in charge at Nick Company has been detained, but they claim their company’s films have no issues. We have also inspected their other films and indeed, there are no problems."
"Now we are tracing who handled this particular film."
"As for the cinema... They claim they didn’t know about the insect eggs, but they admit to the movie accident and are willing to pay the fine."
Gu Jue, "What about the Bai Family?"
The head of the Security Bureau was startled, "Miss Bai from the Bai Family was also a victim in this incident. The Bai Family is currently seeking an explanation from either Deep Blue Cinema or Nick Company."
After the head of the Security Bureau finished speaking, he noticed that neither of the two leaders said a word.
He said with difficulty, "We can handle the Nick Company part with another investigation, but Deep Blue Cinema... The Old Prince is applying pressure from his side."
Gu Zilan sneered, "We’re just talking about shutting down the cinema for investigation and rectification. We haven’t even confird if they are colluding with the Insect Clan. What’s the rush!"
"But..."
Just then, Gu Jue stood up.
He donned his white gloves with an indifferent tone, "The First Starship Fleet will take over the investigation. Whoever has objections, let them co to !"
The head of the Security Bureau was montarily stunned but quickly nodded, "Yes."
When the conference room was left with only the uncle and nephew,
Gu Zilan said worriedly, "Uncle, Aunt and Xiaochen are alright, aren’t they?"
"They are fine." Gu Jue turned his head, looking at his nephew, "Did you know the old man would make a move?"
Gu Zilan shook his head, "I just knew he never gave up all these years, so I kept people watching him. This ti, it’s his first move. Or rather, he’s testing us."
"Since he’s testing us, then, we must let him know that we are aware."
Gu Jue looked up and said flatly, "Have soone arrest Gu Vida imdiately on the charge of colluding with the Star Thief."
Gu Vida is the old man’s most favored great-grandson.
He would certainly be satisfied with this ’response’.
Gu Zilan fully agreed with this approach!
Seeing Gu Jue walking out, he quickly said, "Uncle, where are you going? Do you need to do anything?"
"You go and approve a plot of land for Chu Xunyang to open a combat arena in the Tenth District. As for ... I’m going to get so octopus legs for Xiaochen."
Gu Zilan, "???" Octopus legs?
