Chapter 1487: Chapter 1487: Return to the Special Team

“You’re back?” Chu Liyuan’s voice, full of magnetism, came from the other end of the phone.

“Not yet!”

“Hmm?” Chu Liyuan’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

“Uncle, I think I won’t be able to return for a while.”

“Why?” Chu Liyuan’s tone obviously turned cold.

“Because…” Jian Dan’s mind whirled swiftly, “The base over here has encountered a tricky task, so Instructor Shang needs me to return to the team and help!” Shang became an innocent scapegoat.

It was truly unjust for Shang. Jian Dan had used every method to threaten his agreement, so how did it turn into his fault in an instant?

Of course, at this moment, Shang was still unaware that he had become the protagonist of another major historical injustice.

“So, Uncle, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine, and I promise to come back immediately after completing the task!”

Chu Liyuan said nothing more, just a quick “goodbye” before hanging up the phone.

Jian Dan knew for sure that Uncle was angry and had expected this outcome even before making the call.

“Ah~ I’ll have to wait until Ouyang’s matter is resolved to apologize to Uncle,” Jian Dan murmured to herself, looking at the phone that had been hung up.

(It must be said that Jian Dan’s thinking was indeed too naive; how could Chu Liyuan possibly sit and wait like that?)

After hanging up, Chu Liyuan immediately called Shang…

Over here, Shang, completely unaware, got a scolding from Chu Liyuan, without even a chance to get a word in.

“Speak up!”

Shang looked helplessly at the ceiling~ How could it be that he wasn’t saying anything? Clearly, you didn’t give him a chance to speak, right?

This strict guy, did he get influenced by hanging around Jian Dan for too long? He used to be the strong silent type, but now, he hasn’t even said a word, and Chu Liyuan had already spoken N times.

“Brother, did you get the situation straight or what? Why lose your temper right away? What do you mean I kept your wife? Clearly, your wife forced me to let her stay, alright?

Do you really think I’d let Jian Dan stay without letting you know?”

Now it was Chu Liyuan’s turn to be speechless~

“I really have noticed that whenever it comes to matters involving Jian Dan, your IQ somehow turns negative!” Opportunities to criticize and educate Chu Liyuan are rare, so how could Shang not seize this chance?

Chu Liyuan helplessly rubbed his forehead. Now that he thought about it, the way Jian Jian spoke indeed seemed a bit odd earlier, but he just hadn’t noticed it.

“What’s going on?”

If Jian Jian took the initiative to request to stay, something must have happened.

It’s better to figure out the situation first.

“It’s like this…” Shang briefly told Chu Liyuan about the situation with Ouyang.

“Got it, I’ll be right over!”

“Understood!” He knew that once Chu Liyuan knew Jian Dan stayed at the base, he’d definitely rush over.

That’s why he arranged a room for Xiao Ting separately.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Liyuan first called Grandpa, “Grandpa, I won’t be at the company for the next few days. I’ll have Li Jing consult you about company matters!”

“What, you’re not around again? You little rascal, why are there so many things happening recently? Are you trying to wear me, this old man, out?”

“You can’t blame me for this. If you must blame someone, blame your granddaughter-in-law! She’s the one who never stops; surely you don’t want anything to happen to your granddaughter-in-law, right?”

“No problem, no problem! Leave the company’s matters to me, just make sure you bring Little Jian back for me!”

Chu Liyuan was speechless~

This change of heart was way too fast! Anyone who didn’t know would think Jian Jian was actually your granddaughter!

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring her back safely.”

After hanging up Grandpa’s call, he dialed Li Jing…
