3:00 p.m.

Elite Multi-Speciality Hospital, VIP Ward 1325 ;

The entire Superfamily gathered around Mo Zixuan's bed the moment the girl informed them that he had returned to consciousness and that he was waiting for them. The first person Mo Zixuan spoke to was, of course, Zhi Al. Only when the two men had ensured that the other one was fine did the girl proposed her 'Masterplan' to all her brothers.

"So amid this 'quarantine', as you put it, we won't be able to travel for our Business Meetings?", Zhi Xi questioned, "I don't think that-"

"Hush!", Songyan glared at her husband, "Business, money, tours- that's all you six can think of, even at such a dire time? I, for one, agree with Xinghe. None of your safety should be compromised, no matter what."

"I stand by my girl too.", Ningtao added, a pinch of anxiousness evident in her tone, "As per what she told us about those terrorists' sequence of targets, Wei, you were right after Zixuan. Please, for the sake of your daughter, don't object to Xinghe's suggestions now.

"You guys might be the best businessmen, philanthropists, surgeons, and influencers across the globe, but none of you are the acting Military Chief of this country. She knows what she is doing better than anyone."

"But, Tao, our security staff isn't weak. It's 'Zone X'. Each one of them is trained by Military trainers. With such rigid security by our side, we should be just okay.", Lu Wei tried to reason.

"And yet, Bro Mo's 'Zone X' security personnel were all found dead during the attack last night.", Rong Xiao interfered this time, as she smiled at the Six men, "Come on. Why do you want to experience all your wanderlust now, of all times?

"Bluntly speaking, yesterday, when I was assisting Bro Su to extricate those 7.62 NATO bullets from Bro Mo's body, even I was scared that he wouldn't make it. Why do you want to risk putting your wives, and sisters, and brothers, through all of what happened just a few hours ago, all over again.

"And what are the chances that all of you would be as lucky as Bro Mo was?"

"Besides...", Rong Xinghe spoke up, "Since when does the Superfamily have issues living under the same roof? The only constraint is that you can't move around and that too, until this Independence Day. Then you will all be free. I will personally drop you off at the airport, as soon as the coast is clear. I promise."

The Six tigers considered the Rong twins' words seriously this time. Their solution wasn't void of logic, needless to say. Military Chief Mansion was the safest place throughout the country, guarded by more than a thousand soldiers, each expertized in combat techniques. Even though the Six of them held Black-belt titles in Taekwon-do and other Martial-art sports, it'd be reassuring for them to know that their ladies, and the two little kids in the family, were under constant protection and proper surveillance. Not to mention, it really had been quite some time since they all had spent time together.

"Alright.", Zhi Bo smiled, "I guess we don't really have a choice."

"Sure. That too.", the girls said in unison.

At this time, Rong Xinghe's assistant, Shou Wei walked in, hurriedly, "The Prime Minister is here. Could it be that he's displeased with how Mr. Mo's safety wasn't looked after aptly?"

"It's alright. Leave it to me.", the girl smiled at the old man, as she turned to place a sweet kiss against her Darling's right cheek, "Go home, okay? You haven't had proper sleep for the past two days."

The man, in return, simply shook his head, "I am not leaving. Not without you. Handle the situation with the Prime Minister while I take care of Bro Mo's hospital paperwork, alright?"

"But-"

"No arguments, Xinghe.", Xi Yuan placed his thumb over her lower lip, silencing her in an instant, "This is non-negotiable. You can fight all your wars after tonight."

Letting out a deep breath, the girl smiled softly at the man. He was more stubborn than her. What was the point in arguing with him? Most importantly, he wasn't wrong to concerned about her. Her head had been aching a little too harshly since the last night. Maybe, she did need to lie down for a night. "Got it.", she gave in, "I'll be back in 15-20 minutes."

6:00 p.m., Elite Saphire Penthouse ;

Xi Yuan removed the girl's sneakers as she'd dozed off right onto the couch, minutes after they'd reached home. She wasn't even left with enough strength to take a shower or grab a bite first. As he looked at how angelic and innocent she was sleeping, the man could only cover her with a warm blanket and adjust the air conditioner's temperature in the living room.

With that being taken care of, Xi Yuan walked into the kitchen so that he could make something for her. He knew she'd wake up in the middle of the night anyway. After all, he'd seen her dig into her ice-cream tubs and brownie-bowls at such odd timings before too.

"Is she okay?", the man was chopping chilies and capsicums, when Li Jungah joined the man in the kitchen shortly after, "Why is she sleeping in the hall?"

"She is.", the man answered his mother with a nod, as he poured her a glass of water, "What's up?"

"Nothing. I just came to check on her.", the woman shrugged, "I heard about what happened to her brothers. Is everything fine with them?"

"Yeah. Xinghe was really swift. She realized the plan on-time, thankfully.", Xi Yuan smiled, "How is everything at Xi Family Mansion?", he asked after careful consideration.

"Without you and Fang? It's empty, Yuan.", the woman in her early forties sighed, "Why don't you talk to your Uncle, in person? How long are you going to dodge this matter? That man wouldn't explain anything about his involvement with the 'Werewolf Crew' with anyone, but you or Fang."

"I am not ready, Mom.", Xi Yuan said weakly, "What if he really was at fault then? I don't think I'll be able to handle that."

"Can't you just forgive him then, in that case?", Li Jungah pressed her lips, "He is still your elder, son."

"The people I lost that night weren't some strangers.", the man replied, gritting his teeth, "They were my Grandparents, the ones who brought me up. Forgiveness? It'd require me a lot of strength to not kill him if what we're fearing was even the slightest bit of truth."

"Yuan-"

"Don't, Mom. Don't even try."
