"Ahem, dad, nothingâs going on." Chiang Xiao blushed slightly.
Ah Liu could tell immediately who it was about just by her expression.
"Did Xinian make you angry?"
Chiang Xiao quickly shook her head.
It wasnât really Tyrant Mengâs fault.
Could she blame him for being too handsome?
Because heâs so handsome, he always attracts attention, right?
Ah Liu looked at her and said, "Iâm leaving tomorrow."
Chiang Xiao was stunned.
So soon?
Because of what he said, she temporarily put aside the matter with Tyrant Meng.
"Dad, has everything been prepared over at Great Grandpaâs?"
"Yes, everythingâs ready. Plus, your brother went over a few days ago, and he made some arrangements on his side. Your uncle has arranged things too, so you donât need to worry."
Chiang Xiao didnât expect this day to come so quickly.
But she also knew Ah Liu had to go back sooner or later; how else could he find out who wronged him back then?
Even so, she was still very worried.
No matter what, those people operate in the shadows, and although nothing happened to them all these years, Ah Liu has been wandering outside and wasting so much time. He hasnât made any progress in personal ability or resources, so how can he confront them?
"Dad, let Sun Han go with you at least for a few days before coming back. That way, Iâll know more details and you wonât just tell me the good news while hiding the problems. Sun Han will certainly tell me everything."
From her observations yesterday, Sun Han was careful and serious, very perceptive, and had great skills. The most important thing was, he was introduced by Tyrant Meng, so Chiang Xiao trusted him.
With him there, sheâd feel a bit more at ease.
Ah Liu said with some helplessness, "Your great-grandpa and uncle arranged plenty of bodyguards. I reckon Iâll have seven or eight of them with me wherever I go. Isnât that reassuring enough? Sun Han was found by Xinian to protect you; he should stay with you..."
Chiang Xiao simply resorted to acting spoiled and unreasonable.
"I donât care. If you donât take Sun Han to D State, I wonât let you go."
Ah Liu was both amused and exasperated.
"But you donât have enough people here."
"How could I not? Honestly, I donât even need bodyguards; itâs Tyrant Meng whoâs overly nervous. If Sun Han leaves, Iâll still have two people with me, and another should arrive tomorrow."
Having three bodyguards around her was already pretty over the top, right?
Too many isnât good either. If there is real danger, it would be less convenient for her to hide in the Space.
If it wasnât for the dangerous vibe she got from that Bearded Man, she wouldnât have agreed to hire so many bodyguards.
"Dad, anyway, Iâve made my stance clear; if you donât take Sun Han with you, I wonât let you go."
Ah Liu helplessly shook his head with a smile, "Alright, alright, Iâll take him with me."
Only then did Chiang Xiao feel a little relieved.
She was worried about Ah Liu, and likewise, Ah Liu was worried about her.
"After I leave, youâll be home alone, so youâd better let them stay over at night. Otherwise, I wonât feel secure. How can it be okay for you to be home alone at night?"
Chiang Xiao really wanted to say she preferred being alone at night, as it would be more convenient to hide if something happened.
But she couldnât tell him that, so she just nodded her head.
That day, she took a leave of absence from work, spent a long time instructing Sun Han at home, and then locked herself in her room, drawing a lot of Peace Talisman diagrams.
