Jun Shiling learned of this news on the way back.
“Sir, what do you think we should do about this?”
Jun Shiling was silent for a moment before finally saying, “Bring him to the seventh prison and watch him closely. I’ll interrogate him myself.”
“Yes.”
The phone had been hung up at some point. There was clearly a large pile of documents in front of him that he had not read, but Jun Shiling was no longer in the mood to read them. Looking at the tall buildings that flew past outside the window, Jun Shiling sighed.
“Stay outside for a while more and go back at ten,” Jun Shiling told the chauffeur and sent Xia Wanyuan a WeChat message.
At ten o’clock, An Rao had already gone to bed early.
Jun Shiling returned home and washed up briefly before entering the bedroom.
Xia Wanyuan was not asleep yet. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, Xia Wanyuan pulled the blanket away. “Come quickly. I’m so cold.”
Jun Shiling sat beside Xia Wanyuan, took the book from her hand, and carried her into the blanket.
Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed that something was wrong with Jun Shiling. “What’s wrong?”
Jun Shiling rested his chin on Xia Wanyuan’s neck. “I’m a little tired.”
Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s waist and rubbed against him. “Hubby, you’ve worked hard.”
A smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. “Goodnight.”
“I’ll tell you a story and coax you to sleep.” In the past, Jun Shiling had always coaxed her. Now that Jun Shiling was in a bad mood, Xia Wanyuan naturally wanted to make him happy.
With that, Xia Wanyuan began to tell Jun Shiling stories. After about half an hour, Jun Shiling suddenly hugged her tightly. “Thank you, baby. Sleep.”
Xia Wanyuan kissed Jun Shiling on the chin. “Mm, you’ve worked hard.”
In Jun Shiling’s arms, Xia Wanyuan quickly fell asleep, but Jun Shiling did not sleep the entire night.

The Jun Corporation had spent a huge sum of money to tailor a movie for Xia Wanyuan. The popularity of this matter on the Internet had not dissipated.
On the surface, no one dared to speak up publicly, but behind her back, a large number of people in the entertainment industry were jealous of Xia Wanyuan’s treatment.
[ Tsk tsk, it’s good to marry the right person. Other celebrities might not even be the main character after more than ten years of hard work. When it comes to Xia Wanyuan, it’s good to throw money at her to act. It’s good to be rich. ]
[ If the person in front is blind, he can donate the eyes to someone who needs it. Xia Wanyuan is the winner of the Prynne Award. Her acting skills are obvious. So what if CEO Jun spends money? You make it sound as if Xia Wanyuan is only relying on money. She’s also very capable, okay? ]
[A television drama is different from a movie. How many television dramas collapse on the big screen when they leave? Haven’t we been cheated enough?]
In the Jiang family’s villa, Zou Man was wearing a bright red nightgown. She was sitting on Jiang Kui’s lap. “Hubby ~”
“Aiyo, what’s wrong with your little heart?” Jiang Kui stroked Zou’s smooth leg and narrowed his eyes.
“Have you settled the judges? The competition is about to begin. If Xia Wanyuan wins the championship, what do you want me to do?”
“That’s impossible.” Jiang Kui lowered his head and bit Zou Man’s lip. “Xia Wanyuan has offended too many people. There’s no need for me to do anything. Someone has already informed the royal family of Continent O. It’s impossible for the championship to be given to her.”
Hearing Jiang Kui’s guarantee, Zou Man finally relaxed and focused on saying, “Aiya, your bite is so itchy ~”
“Oh? Really? Where does it itch?” Jiang Kui picked Zou Man up and walked upstairs.

The morning sun rose. The weather was especially good that day. The sun was warm, and the clouds were blue.
Jun Shiling sent Xia Wanyuan to Qing University and instructed the chauffeur to head to the seventh prison.
The seventh prison was a hidden organization that was not open to the public. The people imprisoned here were all people who were involved in confidential matters.
Passing through the long aisle, Jun Shiling stood in front of the innermost cell.
After a while, he reached out and pushed open the door.
Inside, Bo Xiao was leaning back in his chair. Just like countless times in the past, he was casual and unrestrained.
Hearing the noise, Bo Xiao opened his eyes and smiled. “You’re here.”
“Have you sent the thing out?” Jun Shiling looked at Bo Xiao solemnly.
“Yes, I did.” Bo Xiao nodded. “I committed a crime that is enough to be executed. I know.”
The Southwest Military Region was the barrier behind China. Bo Xiao’s message was not only a map, but also the safety of more than a billion Chinese people.
Jun Shiling took a step forward and kicked Bo Xiao to the ground.
Jun Shiling had used a lot of strength in this kick. Bo Xiao felt the stench in his mouth and his internal organs hurt as if they had been shattered. He got up from the ground. “You should kick.”
Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “I can’t save you.”
“I know.” Bo Xiao wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. “You don’t have to save me. I deserve it.”
