Chapter 956: Unexpected
“Xie Yan did help the Heir to conduct many terrible deeds, but that was his job. He had to stick to his own profession. Since we promised to keep him safe for two months, we can just stick to what we have said.”
“…”
“The Heir is going to hunt him down, after knowing that he has escaped, for sure.”
“…”
“He knows too much about the Heir after spending five years with him. He is a man with his own red lines, but not everyone is. When he leaves, the Heir would definitely not be assured about his existence, because whatever he knows would be a huge strike for the Heir. Therefore, the Heir is not going to stop until he is found.”
“…”
“Therefore, the most dangerous place should be the safest place. He was seen running to Bingzhou, so the Heir is definitely going to have his men searching for him here in Bingzhou. We can bring him back to the capital. The Heir will not believe that he would end up in the capital once again.”

“…”
“But we have to be discreet. Xie Yan worked for the Heir and his face is known to many people in the capital. So we have to conceal his appearance.”
“…”
“Is there anyone who is capable of doing such a job at Shadow Door?” Gu Chaoyan asked.
After all, she believed that the Shadow Door was a place which held many talents, and they were all very capable, as followers for Zhou Huaijin. Therefore, she subconsciously believed that Shadow Door was able to solve the problem.
Well…
She had her own solutions as well to change Xie Yan’s look by changing his clothes, but that was not a very thorough plan, and it should be the last resort.
Zhou Huaijin nodded with a smile. “Of course.”
...
“…”
“I will ask Mo Bing to get the man from Shadow Door, and we can leave tomorrow morning and arrive at the gate of the capital before tomorrow evening,” Zhou Huaijin said with a relaxed look.
Gu Chaoyan knew that she had turned to the right man.
They all went back to their own room after spending a long day together, as it was getting dark outside.
The following day…
When Gu Chaoyan saw Xie Yan once again in the lobby, he had changed his appearance. Gu Chaoyan was startled for a while at the sight of him.
Then she could not help bursting into laughter.
Those talents from Shadow Door had turned Xie Yan into an old aunt, who would never be suspected of being Xie Yan!

Zhou Huaijin, for the first time, saw Chaoyan laughing so loudly and cheerfully at how the talents from Shadow Door changed people’s appearance.
Xie Yan, on the other hand, was not very pleased.
He really did not want to look like this, but in order to survive, he had to tolerate this safest look of his.
Xie Yan was eating breakfast with Mo Bing and the other guards next to them, after which they left.

The path from Bingzhou was very smooth to travel on.
Bingzhou was a very populous place, so everything was easily handled.
By the time they arrived at the capital, it was already evening time.
When they reached the gate, they found that the restriction had bee very strict, as the guards were examining everyone.
They were probably searching for Xie Yan.
They were just about to enter the capital, when the guards stopped them. “Who are you? Get off the wagons for examination.”
Gu Chaoyan was a bit surprised, hearing the guard’s voice.
