Because she understood there was reason behind it, she didnāt get angry and just nodded again.
Ding Haijing softened his tone and asked again, "So, is it something important?"
"I need to make a trip to D State."
"Today?"
"Yes, but Iāll turn back halfway and see which one of you can continue to D State to deliver something for my dad and brother."
Ding Haijing frowned.
Leaving Capital City now to go to D State?
"Canāt you mail it?"
Chiang Xiao shook her head.
The things she needed to deliver were not something she intended to mail.
If they were lost or taken by someone else, it would be a disaster.
So she could only deliver them herself or have someone she trusts do it.
Ding Haijing asked again, "So, you must go?"
"I have to go."
If Meng Xinian wasnāt coming back tonight, she would have delivered personally.
"Then all three of us will go," Ding Haijing said. "When we get halfway, Luo Yongsheng and I will come back with you, and Guan Tiezhu will go to D State. Is that alright?"
Guan Tiezhu nodded, "Sure, I have no problem."
Chiang Xiao also nodded, "Alright, itās settled then. Letās head out now, Iāve already put everything in the car."
Chiang Xiao conveyed her urgency as she even bought buns for breakfast to eat on the go.
She usually valued breakfast and would sit down to eat properly.
"Where will you turn back on the way?" Ding Haijing asked Chiang Xiao, somewhat puzzled why she needed to go halfway. Couldnāt Guan Tiezhu deliver it alone?
But even though he had lectured her before, he couldnāt control everything about her. It was clear she had already decided to go, and he couldnāt sway her decision.
Chiang Xiao also didnāt know exactly where to turn back, so she simply said, "Just drive and see where we are at eleven oāclock."
Because she needed to come back in time for dinner with Meng Xinian.
"I really suspect you just want to go out and have fun," Ding Haijing said, feeling helpless.
What do you mean by driving until eleven and stopping wherever you are? Thereās no objective at all.
If she could, Chiang Xiao actually wanted to go alone, because she had to place the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram, but she didnāt know how to drive. Taking the train would waste a lot of time waiting and boarding, and she promised Meng Xinian that sheād take bodyguards wherever she went.
So she brought them along for peace of mind.
Chiang Xiao didnāt say much more in response to Ding Haijingās comment.
She just hoped to find a suitable place by eleven, where she could decide whether to rent a place or buy one.
It could then serve as her outpost.
After they packed up, they set off immediately.
They all knew how to drive, so they could take turns without stopping to rest.
Fortunately, at eleven, they reached a small city.
The city seemed to have a decent municipal appearance.
Seeing Chiang Xiao constantly looking out the window, Ding Haijing asked, "What now?"
Is it time to turn back?
"There should be a train station here, right?" Chiang Xiao asked.
"There should be."
"Letās find a restaurant to eat, and ask where the train station is," Chiang Xiao had decided, she would choose a house not far from the train station.
In case anything happened, she could leave directly by train.
Anyway, she wouldnāt live there, it would just be a transit point.
