Lao Wen’s arrival was not so much to give him a trophy as it was to give him a warning. No matter what you do, never overdo it, or else in this world, no matter who you are, you will eventually pay the price.
Just like Tong Cheng before, if he crosses the line in the future, it will still be the sa. At that ti, even Old Zhang and Old Chen would not be able to save him. This is the rule.
The plague was resolved, and the Power of Faith within Liu Hun was growing. In a short ti, his strength would likely break through to the sixth layer of the Innate Realm. At that ti, even if his strength wasn’t exceptional, he would at least have enough self-protection ability in Huaihai Province.
Shanghe Village was re-integrated into the plan, and Xu Shimin was responsible for all these matters. Liu Hun did not participate in them. He was about to leave, and in the future, all matters in the Southeast Province would rely on Xu Shimin to manage. Therefore, before this, Xu Shimin had to get used to the days without him.
"ngyao, from now on, the affairs of Shanghe Village will be left to you and Old Xu. As for Liu Dekai, I’ve already had a word with him. As long as Shanghe Village is built, you can quickly advance with the reputation of Shanghe Village. However, regarding official matters, although I’m not very familiar with them, I know you can’t rush for quick success." Liu Hun looked seriously at Chu ngyao as he spoke.
"I understand all of this, it’s just that you’re going alone to Huaihai Province, and I’m worried..." Chu ngyao’s beautiful face was full of concern.
Seeing Chu ngyao’s appearance, how could Liu Hun not know what he would face next? But so things are inevitable, even if you worry, it’s of no use.
"There’s nothing to worry about, I have to go to Huaihai Province. If I don’t resolve these matters, you’ll never live in peace. And you don’t need to worry about , you know I always have a sense of propriety." Liu Hun smiled slightly, gently stroking Chu ngyao’s smooth face, his eyes full of tenderness.
During this ti, both of them had experienced several life and death situations, so whether it was Liu Hun or Chu ngyao, their feelings for each other had deepened.
"Hunzi, how about letting Xiaoyu go with you? Although I don’t quite understand matters of strength, I know Xiaoyu is very capable. If she’s with you, at least I can be less worried." Chu ngyao expressed her concern to Liu Hun.
As her words fell, Lin Xiaoyu nodded to Liu Hun and said, "Yes, Brother Hunzi, why don’t you let Xiaoyu go with you to Huaihai Province?"
During this ti, Lin Xiaoyu could clearly feel the kindness from Liu Hun and Chu ngyao. In this period of lost mory, she regarded the two as her closest people.
So she was just as worried about Liu Hun as Chu ngyao was.
"Xiaoyu, Brother Hunzi will be fine, but after Brother Hunzi leaves, my only request is for you to protect yourself and Sister ngyao well. I don’t want to see either of you getting hurt." Liu Hun directed his gaze at Xiaoyu beside him, speaking earnestly.
"Xiaoyu will definitely protect Sister ngyao well and won’t let her face any danger!" Xiaoyu solemnly nodded to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun knew that once Xiaoyu promised this, after he left, if Chu ngyao was in any danger, Xiaoyu would protect her even at the cost of her life.
"Old Xu, I’ll leave things here to you." Liu Hun nodded to Old Xu beside him, said no more, got into the car, and let Lu Chuan drive him to the train station in the county town.
"Hunzi, I don’t quite understand, why leave the good Southeast Province for Huaihai Province? And taking the train too?" As soon as Liu Hun got into the car, Lu Chuan complained to him.
Seeing the concern in Lu Chuan’s eyes, Liu Hun understood that he was worried but didn’t express it directly.
"Xiao Chuan, there are so things I can’t tell you yet, but as I ntioned before, I need you for the trip to Huaihai. Otherwise, I can’t handle it alone; it’s just a matter of ti." Liu Hun shook his head at Lu Chuan with a teasing tone.
"Co on, I don’t believe your nonsense. If you can’t handle it, how could I?" Lu Chuan pouted, glancing at Liu Hun with cornered eyes, carrying a hint of heartfelt sentint as he said, "You’re no longer the foolish Liu from before. Instead, you’re smarter and more capable than all of us, but rember, there are always people better than us in the world. I hope you understand this.
"I understand that even without you telling , and I wasn’t joking about needing you; you’re an indispensable part of my plan. Without you, I can’t accomplish many things." Liu Hun put away his smile and looked seriously at Lu Chuan.
This ti, Lu Chuan stopped the car in the middle of the road, turned around, and looked deeply at Liu Hun. After exchanging glances for a mont, Lu Chuan started the car again and mumbled softly, "One lifeti of brotherhood, two lifetis of sentint, let’s be good brothers in the next life too."
Faced with Lu Chuan’s words, Liu Hun’s heart trembled fiercely for a mont, but he quickly regained his calm.
He trusted Lu Chuan, so even after saying such words, he knew Lu Chuan would still help him. Similarly, Lu Chuan trusted him too. There was never any doubt between them, reflecting true brotherhood, always and forever.
...
When he arrived at the train station, it was just eleven in the morning. The Southeast Province wasn’t very far from Huaihai Province, but this ti Liu Hun didn’t drive directly there; instead, he opted for the train.
There’s no high-speed rail or bullet trains running from Fenglin County to the Provincial City of Huaihai Province, only regular trains. Though the trip would take more ti, Liu Hun didn’t mind.
As soon as he got on the train, a pungent sll assaulted him imdiately. Liu Hun frowned slightly, as he always disliked such slls, but at this mont, he could only endure it.
After looking around the train for a while, Liu Hun finally sat down by a window seat. Gazing at the empty spot beside him, Liu Hun’s lips curled into a slight smile as he silently thought to himself, "I wonder what kind of person you are, that even Old Zhang and Old Chen hold you in such high regard. It’s really piqued my curiosity."
Just as Liu Hun was in anticipation, it wasn’t long before an older woman with a child and so luggage squeezed in beside him, and calmly sat down.
Seeing this scene, Liu Hun’s eyes were filled with a dazed look.
"Could this... could this really be the prodigious daughter Zhang and Chen ntioned?" Liu Hun murmured softly to himself.
"Young man, could you please move over a bit? My grandson has a heart condition, so..." the older woman said to Liu Hun, sowhat apologetically.
"No problem." Liu Hun nodded to the older woman and smiled slightly.
For such typical rural won, Liu Hun didn’t harbor any disdain in his heart, after all, his parents were farrs, too.
After shifting his body a bit, Liu Hun hesitated for a mont and then asked the older woman, "Um... ma’am, is this seat yours? I don’t an anything by it, just asking."
Hearing Liu Hun’s question, the older woman was montarily stunned and replied awkwardly, "We’re just on a long train ride to Huaihai Province. Sotis, along the way, so seats are unoccupied, so..."
"How about this, ma’am? Since people are boarding, this seat should be reserved for soone. Why don’t you take my seat instead?" Liu Hun temporarily set aside his thoughts and smiled at the older woman.
"Oh, how could I? If soone cos later, we’ll just leave. I just wanted my grandson to rest well." The older woman quickly declined.
"It’s no bother. Please, sit," Liu Hun said, before slowly getting up from his seat.
Seeing that Liu Hun had already stepped aside, the older woman didn’t insist anymore. After all, her grandson was the most important; she herself didn’t mind, but her grandson couldn’t continue being tossed around, otherwise, if his heart condition flared up, it could be troubleso.
Liu Hun stood beside the aisle, but was soon pushed to the end of the corridor by the crowds on the train, and he was rather helpless about it.
With his eyes glancing again at that now empty seat, Liu Hun couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
He still rembered, clearly, when Old Zhang and Old Chen had told him together: "If you manage to settle things with this girl in Huaihai Province, whatever you want to do next will be much easier, and regardless if it’s the Shen Family, Wu Family, Du Family, or Tong Family, at the very least, they won’t be so brazen.
Although in his heart, Liu Hun despised such behaviors, he understood how dangerous the trip to Huaihai could be. He hadn’t avenged the old man yet, and he surely didn’t want anything unexpected to happen to himself.
"Damn it, you little brat, can’t you see where you’re going? You’ve kicked once again!" The train moved gradually forward, but Liu Hun still hadn’t seen the girl appear at that seat. Just before the train departed, a middle-aged man in a suit took the seat instead.
Liu Hun wasn’t holding out much hope anymore. Perhaps the girl had changed her plans last minute and didn’t board the train.
But upon hearing this angry curse, Liu Hun frowned slightly and instinctively turned his head to look.
The middle-aged man, who was sitting in what was once supposed to be the girl’s seat, was now glaring angrily at the child beside him, scolding loudly.
The older woman, hearing the man’s scolding, quickly pulled her grandson aside, hastily apologizing, "I’m sorry, my grandson didn’t do it on purpose..."
"If sorry was enough, I would’ve been a billionaire by now. Do you know how much this suit of mine costs? Just dry-cleaning it costs hundreds!" The middle-aged man sneered.
"I... I don’t have money..." Upon hearing this, the older woman’s face showed a hint of panic.
"No money? So you’re saying it’s okay for your grandson to dirty my clothes?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with anger as he shouted at the older woman.
So of the passengers around, witnessing this scene, deliberately avoided it. After all, who on a train could be considered wealthy? The man looked imposing; if they offended him, it could an trouble for them, so no one was willing to stand up for the older woman.
"I... I..." The older woman looked anxious, but her face was pale.
"What do you an ’I’? Either pay up or give a new suit. Make your choice!" The middle-aged man sneered.
Seeing this scene, as Liu Hun was just about to step up and help the older woman, a graceful figure unexpectedly appeared in his line of sight. Witnessing the girl’s presence, everyone’s breath in the surroundings seed to hitch slightly.
