Chapter 59: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 59: City Commotion
"This won't do!" Chen Xue stepped forward to support Chen Yuan. "My father is not in good health and can't move around easily alone."
Chen Yuan, feigning illness: "..."
But he quickly reacted and started coughing. "Cough, cough, cough, water, give me water!"
Chen Xue: "..."
I just said a few words, and Dad, you're already acting, even adding your own dramatics!
Seeing Chen Yuan looking as if he were on death's door, everyone exchanged glances. Fortunately, Xu Tian handed over the water jug, allowing Mr. Chen to take a few sips and "save" himself from his dire condition.
Being sick is even better!
Captain Sun's eyes lit up with joy. With this situation, maybe Guo Qiang's men won't need to act; Chen Yuan might just die, and then he could better control Chen Xue.
Although he had been repeatedly rebutted by Chen Xue, he believed it was all Chen Yuan's doing behind the scenes. After all, he used to be an assistant minister in the Ministry of Revenue.
"Don't worry, we'll have someone take care of him."
Seeing Captain Sun unmoved, Chen Xue frowned. She was increasingly disgusted with this fickle Captain Sun.
To be honest, she had a lot of things in her space, even invisible killing tools. Although they were a bit expensive, if she wanted to exchange them, it was not impossible.
However, coming from Earth in her previous life, she couldn't bring herself to kill without reason.
Although she couldn't kill, she could punish Captain Sun and make him suffer a bit. After all, she had encountered so many people, but Captain Sun was the most detestable.
She had to go into the city this time.
She glanced at Chen Yuan and said, "Dad, be careful. Don't worry about me and Mom. Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei will protect us. Anyway, if they can't stop them, I can do whatever I want..."
For some reason, when Chen Xue said this, Captain Sun's heart skipped a beat. He had taken away a group of people, leaving only Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei.
Without him, they couldn't control them at all.
By then, maybe within this exiled group, Chen Xue would become the leader, with the final say.
More importantly, only Chen Xue seemed to know that mysterious technique. If he waited to come back, the whole exiled group might become Chen Xue's people, which would be too costly.
If their home was ransacked, wouldn't he be sidelined and become a puppet?
Thinking of this, he became somewhat panicked, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he put on a compassionate expression.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll let it go since you're so filial."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Tian. "The paperwork is up to you, and they are also your responsibility. If they run away, you'll be held accountable!"
Watching Captain Sun hastily enter the city with his men, the Chen family didn't show any signs of happiness. Instead, they frowned.
How could Captain Sun be so kind?
Not only did he agree to let them enter the city together, but he also asked them to follow Xu Tian. Didn't they know that Xu Tian was in cahoots with them?
However, regardless of the situation, without the interference of others, it would be more convenient for them to act.
"Captain, are we just going to let them go like this?" Qian's bailiff was somewhat unwilling.
Captain Sun ignored him and called two other subordinates. "You two, keep an eye on Chen Yuan. If he encounters danger, don't intervene, but his daughter, make sure she doesn't die."
Although he said this, he was muttering to himself. Guo Qiang, oh Guo Qiang, I've given you such a good opportunity; you'd better make good use of it.
His subordinates were somewhat puzzled. What danger could Chen Yuan encounter? But they nodded obediently anyway. Regarding the captain's order to save Chen Yuan's daughter, they revealed a lewd smile.
It was just a pity that they couldn't enter the city with them this time.
On the other hand, after parting ways with Xu Tian, Chen Yuan and his daughter walked through the lively streets. It was Chen Xue's first time exploring a market in a different world.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Seeing her daughter so excited, Chen Yuan also smiled. He even stopped a vendor selling candied haws and bought all of them, carrying them himself.
"Let's bring them back for your mother to taste!"
Hearing her father's words, Chen Xue suddenly felt that the candied haws in her mouth were not delicious anymore; they even tasted more sour.
"A dozen of them in one bundle. Can Mom eat so many?" Chen Xue rolled her eyes.
"It's not like we have to finish them all at once." Chen Yuan didn't mind. "With you here, we can eat them later."
Toolman Chen Xue: "..."
"Dad, let's go buy hot pot ingredients!"
"Wait, come with me first!"
"Captain Sun is so kind to let us into the city. Obviously, something is not right. Let's be careful."
Mr. Chen led Chen Xue into an alley, then, when no one was looking, he let his daughter take the candied haws and put them away. Then they turned a few corners, and when they came out again, they had changed their appearance.
Obviously, they had changed their clothes, and even Chen Xue had modified her appearance with modern makeup techniques. After makeup, even her own mother wouldn't recognize her, let alone others.
When they left the alley, they saw two bailiffs running past them. It seemed they didn't even notice them, or if they did, they didn't pay any attention.
After all, in their impression, Chen Yuan and his daughter didn't dress like this, not to mention their faces weren't recognizable either.
"Where are they?"
The bailiffs scurried around the alley, even inquiring about people, but they couldn't find Chen Yuan and his daughter, their faces turning pale.
"What's going on? Is it possible to see ghosts in broad daylight?"
"We're done for. If the captain finds out we lost them, will he kill us?"
The two panicked, but Chen Xue had already happily gone shopping. With their appearance changed, they weren't worried about being exposed, so they didn't bother to hide anything and just bought whatever caught their eyes.
After all, today they had only one goal: shopping!
