Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Need Madam’s Approval

She turned around, her face buried in An Mingji’s shoulder, closing her tear-filled eyes, the tears soaking the boy’s clothes.

Feeling the dampness on his clothes, An Mingji felt a pang of heartache, a somber hue flickering in his eyes.

He raised his hand, stroking Gu Jin’s beautiful hair, gently caressing her back.

"Ah Jin, take a nap."

With those words, he touched her sleeping acupoint.

Gu Jin’s head leaned softly, and her body relaxed.

An Mingji took the opportunity to carry her horizontally, holding her as he walked up to Gu Jiajie.

Using the same method, he made Gu Jiajie, who was curled up on the sofa, fall asleep too. As the latter’s eyes closed tightly, a tear slid down his cheek.

An Mingji spoke: "Heyang, pick them up, we’re going home."

"Yes, Master."

Wanqi Heyang stood up, walked over to Gu Jiajie, and tried to take the burial urn from his arms first.

But despite using all his strength, he couldn’t retrieve it.

It was as if that burial urn was an inseparable part of his body.

Seeing his brother struggling, Wanqi Jingyi walked over and helped lift Gu Jiajie’s body, along with the burial urn in his arms.

An Mingji, carrying the sleeping Gu Jin, stepped up to Hong Fei and the others: "We’re leaving first, thank you both for bringing Minmin back."

With these words, he nodded politely at them and walked past them out of the room.

Following was Wanqi Jingyi, carrying Gu Jiajie with Wanqi Heyang.

Then it was Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi supporting Qiu Qianghai.

The group quickly left the room.

Downstairs.

Seeing the young master come out, Allen and the others immediately drove the car to the door.

When he came forward to greet them, he noticed that everyone’s expressions were exceedingly heavy, and the Young Madam clutched in the young master’s embrace had noticeable tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

"Young Master—"

Allen opened the car door, greeting as usual.

He asked nothing, given the presence of outside onlookers.

An Mingji’s convoy consisted of three cars, two of which were occupied by drivers and superpower users from the Darwin Family.

Behind them, the Wanqi Family’s convoy and their respective vehicles were waiting, as everyone sought their respective vehicles to board.

"Go home."

Sitting inside the car, An Mingji’s voice turned low, and his entire demeanor shifted accordingly.

His sharp, profound eyes stared intently ahead, emanating an inexplicable sense of pressure. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Allen, seated in the car, was the first to notice.

Without any outsiders around, he finally asked, "Young Master, what happened?"

The vehicle slowly drove away from Night Paradise.

An Mingji’s expression was cold and severe as he glanced at Allen: "Investigate a secret mission Gu Minmin participated in six months ago. Find a way to uncover the specifics of the mission and how she sacrificed herself. I want the complete details."

Allen’s expression slightly changed: "Does it involve the military?"

An Mingji nodded at him.

Allen rubbed his chin: "This matter requires Madam Darwin’s approval, as it’s not just a personal or family issue."

An Mingji immediately took out his phone and dialed his grandaunt’s number in Italy.

"Hello."

The familiar voice reached his ears.

An Mingji’s expression softened considerably, and he spoke warmly: "Grandaunt, good morning."

At this moment, it was late at night in Beijing, but morning in Italy.

"Good evening, child."

An Feng’s voice came through the receiver, entering An Mingji’s ears.

The young man’s voice was calm as he directly stated the purpose of the call: "Grandaunt, I want to investigate something. Allen says it requires your approval."
