Lan Wuxian's P.O.V.
We arrived back at Wàng Jī Lǚdiàn 13 hours after I'd picked my boys up, Lan Win and Nie Xion retired to Mitzuki's old bedroom. We'd completely refurbished it while they were away and, in essence, had erased Kim Mitzuki from the hotel. I made sure to get Seokjin and Namjun to send me through the video of Suga and Mitzuki being killed. I must admit it looks incredible and if I didn't know better I would say that the 'kids' I brought home are different people. Hopefully having both of them being gone for the three weeks and their makeovers will make enough of a difference. I need to ask Sizhui to train them both to use their cores; Nie Yunghe's is quite strong even without training as Wei Ying's core was, the one Jiang Cheng has. Taehyung has much potential and his will be quite strong once he has trained with our A'Yuan.
I was feeling down because we'd arranged an after hours meeting with our primary employees, the ones who'd had the most contact with Kim Mitzuki and we were going to let them know there'd been an accident and he had passed away. I was also going to introduce them to several new trainees Lan Zhan and I had employed. It was going to be an interesting meeting.

Jinhong Eijirou's P.O.V.
Walking into the lunch room at Wàng Jī I greeted everyone there; Sizhui, Katsuki, Jimin, Win, Viktor, Magnus and Eileen. There's a few new faces here, though I'm wondering why they're here so late, I wonder if they're related? I also noticed the trio of Lan's were dressed traditionally in white robes, even Lan Ying, who was busy talking very quietly to Lan Yibo in the corner of the room. I wonder what happened? Hopefully they'll be able to tell us what's happening with Mitzuki because I haven't seen him for a few weeks. I mean, I know Mitzuki went away with that friend of his that came from Qīpiàn City but did they both have to leave to catch up? Couldn't they have stayed here and caught up?
We sat around for another fifteen minutes or so to make sure everyone was here and the last to arrive was Katsuki's new husband, Bakugo Eijiro. Lan Wuxian got everyone's attention and we assumed it would be about the new people in the room, though I'm sure I've seen at least one of them before, we were all stunned by what he had to say. "I've got four announcements to make and two of them are shitty, so.. Some good news first? Good. Wàng Jī Lǚdiàn has three VIP guests staying for a while. Make welcome Jeon Jeongguk, his cousin Nie Namjun and his husband Nie Seokjin. Second is the bad news. I know most of you know that our A'Yuan is engaged to my nephew Jin Rulan of the Jin Corporation.
"Two days ago Jin Ling was kidnapped from outside of his University. They've told us to hand over Kim Mitzuki in exchange for A'Ling's life but we can't do that because of the next thing I'm going to tell you," Lan Wuxian sniffled; his eyes becoming red, glossy and welling with tears, his cheeks flushing a chalky red and his slender shoulders shaking. Lan Wuxian shook his head to let his white suited husband know he couldn't continue, confusing most of us since there wasn't much he couldn't -or wouldn't- say.
Lan Yibo silently clasped his husbands hand tightly as he spoke for him. "A week ago Wei Ying and I were contacted by authorities in Chúshī shān. Kim Mitzuki and Min Yoongi were involved in a motorbike accident. Both died at the scene." With these last words Lan Wuxian broke down and Lan Yibo silently wrapped his arms around his Wei Ying, comforting him. I wasn't surprised when Sizhui cried too, losing his fiance and his best friend in one go would be devastating, he moved to his fathers and hugged them tightly.
We were all stunned at the news, like, WHAT THE FUCK kind of news is that? type of stunned. Lan Yibo announced possibly the least interesting news of the night, "We have three new Wàng Jī family members. Nie Yunghe, Lan Taehyung and Jin Yonghoon." When his father spoke the third name, Sizhui's head snapped up and he stared at the male. Sniffling and wiping his eyes, he walked over, standing in front of the male and asked. "Jin Yong.. hoon..? Jin Lang?" The person in question nodded hesitantly as if afraid he would be attacked or something similar.
