Right before he climbed into the car, he saw something amiss among the tall grass. He waddled over to take a closer look as his father was putting on his mother's safety belt.
After making sure Ye Yuwei's seat belt was fastened, Gu Juexi noticed his son approaching the tall grass and quickly went to him.
"Xicheng!" Gu Juexi shouted as he noticed something wrong. He lunged forward and grabbed his son by the waist, pulling him into his embrace as a figure burst out of the grass. He swung his hand out, blocking the man who had jumped out at them.
"Xicheng!" Ye Yuwei quickly unfastened her seatbelt and ran out of the car.
Gu Juexi carried Xicheng in one hand and held out his other hand threateningly. The man didn't mean any harm so he lowered his arms and backed away.
Gu Juexi stared at the man with narrowed eyes. He was in a white exercise shirt, not in army uniform but Gu Juexi recognized him. "Chu Ningyi?"
