Chapter 118 Leaving Home

"Seventh Young Master?!"

"How can that be possible? You've finally come back, how can you not have a good rest?" Chen Jing'an pouted. "Besides, Fifth Brother, you know that's not what I meant!"

"Okay, okay."

Old Master Chen was getting a headache from the noise. He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and smoothed things over between his two grandsons. "Xiao Qi, your fifth brother has important things to do and can't be delayed. Although he has to leave tomorrow, that's tomorrow's business, right? It won't delay you two from having a good chat today. Right, Xiao Wu?"

Chen Jingming smiled and nodded.

"It's so dangerous outside? Why don't you stay home for a few more days?"

Although Chen Jing'an had some opinions, he also knew that he could get his way by acting coquettishly in small matters, but big matters could never be solved by just humming a few times.

After dinner, Chen Jing'an stayed close to Chen Jingming all day. At night, the two brothers slept in the same room for the first time in a long time.

Of course, Chen Jing'an also felt sorry for his fifth brother. Looking at the dark circles under his fifth brother's eyes, he didn't chat with him all night. The two of them went to bed early.

…

At two o'clock in the morning, Chen Jing'an, who had gone to bed early but was not sleeping soundly, heard a knock on the door. Then, he felt the person beside him lift the quilt and got up to open the door.

The light from the corridor shone in from the door, lengthening the shadow of the person at the door. The quiet night also allowed Chen Jing'an to hear the two people's whispers clearly.

"...I have a temporary mission, so the takeoff time has been changed. It's expected to be at 3:30... Is this convenient for you?"

"Okay, I'll pack my things now."

"Do you need to discuss this with your family?"

"No, I told you yesterday."

"Okay, then, let's meet at the square below at 3:30. The plane number is B-107. We'll leave as soon as you arrive..."

"Um."

…

The door quickly closed again, and then Chen Jing'an heard a series of light footsteps. Through the gap in the quilt, he saw his fifth brother carrying a suitcase into the opposite room, and then he heard the faint sound of water from the opposite room.

Chen Jing'an sat up from the bed with the quilt rolled up. After thinking for a while with his head down, he began to put on his clothes.

More than ten minutes later, the bodyguard standing guard at the gate of the villa heard some noise coming from the kitchen on the first floor. When he turned around to check, he missed the figure who slipped out of the gate of the villa quickly.

…

"Uncle Lin, I'll leave grandpa in your care!"

Chen Jingming stood at the door of the villa and said to the old housekeeper who came to see him off late at night.

The old housekeeper, Uncle Lin, is only slightly younger than his father. He has been working in the Chen family since his grandfather's generation. The previous housekeeper in the family, who was also the person most trusted by Mr. Chen, was Uncle Lin's father.

Almost every generation of their family has worked in their family. Uncle Lin’s eldest son currently works under his eldest brother, and his youngest son is also the most important star agent in his fourth sister’s company.

For everyone in the Chen family, although Uncle Lin and his family have different surnames, psychologically, they are truly one family.

"Don't worry, Master Jingming." Uncle Lin looked at him lovingly as usual and made a promise, "I will take good care of you and Master Jingan, don't worry!"

"As for you, please be careful out there." Uncle Lin handed the packed bag handed over by the maid to the bodyguard next to him. "I saw you didn't bring much, so I packed some more, thinking it would make your journey easier."

Chen Jingming unzipped the luggage bag halfway and felt warm in his heart when he saw the pillow filled with medicinal herbs that he used to use.

"I will, thank you Uncle Lin."

After a brief farewell, in order not to miss the flight, Chen Jingming and his four bodyguards were taken down the mountain by the driver.

…

Even though it was only three o'clock in the morning, the central square of the tourist town below Xishan Mountain was brightly lit.

People in uniform and not in uniform came and went, all walking hurriedly with serious expressions.

"When does Plane 1 take off?"

"Has Unit 5 returned yet? We have a shipment of weapons that needs to be transported to the city center?"

"There's an injured person here. Where's the doctor? Ambulance, has the ambulance arrived?"

"...These are the children we brought back from the city. Please take them for a physical examination..."

“…”

The group of five passed by several people, and several urgent voices flashed by their ears.

As a doctor's conditioned reflex, Chen Jingming subconsciously wanted to turn around to see the injured person, but feeling the restraint of the watch strap on his wrist and thinking about the time when the plane would take off, he quickened his pace.

Fortunately, following the signs on the ground, he soon saw the helicopter with "B-107" painted on its fuselage.

The pilot was already seated in the front cockpit. Without giving it any time to think, they quickly boarded the helicopter after confirming their flight path. The helicopter then quickly took off, carrying them eastward.

Minute by minute, the black curtain unique to the night seemed to be constantly being lifted from the east. When the helicopter arrived over the urban area of ​​City A, looking down from the air, one could clearly see the roads and buildings below.

The helicopter circled in the air for a while until the pilot heard permission to land in his headset, then it slowly landed on the roof of one of the buildings.

The car door opened, and the hurricane force unique to a hundred-meter-high building made it almost impossible for people to stand. Chen Jingming and his group of five finally managed to gain a firm foothold, and then they saw staff members wearing red armbands coming out of the stairs on the roof.

"Hurry up, hurry up and move it. This is the lunch for Team Two. They need to get it before they leave at 4:30. Move quickly."

The team leader said this as he rushed into the helicopter.

One of the people behind him went into the cabin with him, while the other two were waiting outside pushing a flatbed cart.

Chen Jingming took a quick look, wrapped his coat tightly, and was about to go downstairs with his bodyguards, but suddenly he heard a scolding from behind him.

"Who are you? Why are you here?!"

This sound caught Chen Jingming's attention, and he couldn't help but turn around. He glanced at the four bodyguards following him, and thought about how he hadn't seen anyone else in the cabin except the five of them, which made him feel even more strange.

The noise in the helicopter continued. After a minute or two, Chen Jingming and the bodyguards widened their eyes when they saw the figure half-pulled out of the cabin.

"Jing An?!!"

"Seventh Young Master?!"

…

When Chen Jingming saw the familiar figure, he rushed forward immediately, greeted the staff in charge of moving, and then pulled his brother's arm to take the person aside.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Jing'an didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. His eyes flickered left and right, and he didn't dare to look Chen Jingming in the eye.

“That…that…”

Seeing his guilty look, Chen Jingming knew that he had sneaked out, and he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

The bodyguards around had obviously realized what had happened. They looked at each other but didn't dare to speak.

"Come with me!"

Chen Jingming was silent for a while, put down his hands that were covering his face, grabbed Chen Jingan, and pulled him towards the helicopter.

After a brief exchange with the pilot, as expected, I got a negative answer.

"Ah, this plane has other missions soon and won't be returning to Xishan."

Chen Jingming was just about to ask someone if there were any other flights heading back to Xishan today when he heard a porter working nearby say, "There's a severe shortage of helicopters in the city right now. Few of the helicopters that come here fly back."

Chen Jingming frowned and took his men downstairs to ask someone. He learned that the next helicopter back to Xishan would be after noon tomorrow. Looking at the people in front of him looking around with backpacks on their backs, his head hurt even more.

This person ran out secretly, and no one probably noticed him yet, but by the time it gets bright at the latest, everyone in the West Hill Villa should know about it.

But his scheduled flight to the south was about to take off at noon, and he didn't have time to force Chen Xiaoqi to go home.

Looking at the person in front of him who was still looking around with great interest, Chen Jingming said seriously, "Chen Jing'an!"

"arrive!"

All the brothers and sisters in the family were sent to the army by Grandpa Chen for military training. Chen Jing'an answered subconsciously.

"I'm going to take the train to the airport soon. I'm flying south at noon, so I won't have time to take you home. But I'll leave Zhang Ping and the other two with you. Just stay here and don't make any trouble. We'll fly back to Xishan tomorrow."

"Why?"

Chen Jing'an was unhappy and pouted, suggesting, "I want to go south with you too. My eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth sister are all out running around, leaving Grandpa and me alone at home. Now that you've finally come back, you still have to leave. You all can go out, but why do I have to stay in Xishan? It's like being in prison!"

Chen Jingan complained, "You all have important things to do, and I want to do something too! Besides, I'm already an adult who's over 20 years old, so stop treating me like a child!"

After the conversation, even Chen Jing'an was stunned for a few seconds. He suddenly realized that the little guy in front of him, who in his impression only followed him and called him brother, was now as tall as him.

But even so, Chen Jing'an's heart was not shaken at all.

"Then what do you want to do? What can you do?" Chen Jingming tore off the cruel outer layer of this world and showed it to his still innocent and passionate brother.

"Can you run a company like my eldest brother? Do you know how many factories and warehouses our Chen Group owns and where they are located? Do you understand the production of medical supplies and equipment like my third brother? Or can you help restore the communication networks in various cities like my second brother?"

Chen Jingming knew that it was not all Chen Jing'an's fault. Chen family's Xiaoqi had a reputation for being uneducated and unskillful, and they, the elders and brothers and sisters, had an inseparable responsibility. But now, he could only do this to dissuade Chen Xiaoqi from wanting to go out and take risks. Otherwise, this kid would be so bold as to do many things without consulting anyone.

"Who was it that fainted in the middle of military training last year? Do you really have the ability to protect yourself?"

After one sentence after another, Chen Jing'an, who was originally full of fighting spirit, fell silent.

Although he had not left Xishan since the incident, he had learned a lot about the situation outside from other people.

This time I sneaked out because I knew that this was a safe area and that Fifth Brother and bodyguards were there, so I dared to come out.

"But... Fifth Brother, if I stay in Xishan forever, won't I never be able to protect myself?"

Chen Jingan argued, "At least now, I have you and the bodyguards protecting me. I still have a chance to grow, right?"

Chen Jingming was speechless. "You can't just run away from home without saying goodbye, right? Do you know how worried Grandpa must be?"

"Why don't we just call home now? Grandpa probably still hasn't gotten up yet, so just pretend I came out with you! Okay?"

"You really are..." Chen Jingming was speechless. "But even so, you can't follow me. The south is too dangerous. We don't know what the situation is. I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect you? In my opinion, you should stay here with Zhang Ping and the others for a good day, and then take the helicopter home tomorrow."

"No!" Chen Jing'an shook his head. "I've finally come out here, I don't want to go back like this. Besides, Zhang Ping and the other four are here to protect you. If you leave them all here with me, what will you do? The south is so dangerous!"

【Author’s words】

[Already completed! This chapter has exceeded its target, and the next chapter should be updated the day after tomorrow.]

We really don’t know how accidents happen in life, just like the stupid author just went out to Cainiao Station to pick up a package, and when he came back his phone couldn’t turn on.

There is no WiFi where I live, and my cell phone cannot be repaired in a short time. It will take ten days or half a month to repair it. After two days of loss of connection, I decided to move.

I moved with my belongings and moved a few days ago, and just after I finished moving, my phone was fixed! I don't know when it will break again, but it's better than before when it wouldn't turn on. It saved me a lot of money on repairs, so it's a pleasant surprise!

This chapter doesn't have enough words, and I can't finish it before 10 o'clock, so I'll post it first and make up for the missing words tomorrow. Thank you all for your support! Sending love biubiubiu!!!

This is Chapter 108. As usual, comments with 2 points in the comment section will receive a red envelope! Remember to leave a message!

Those two days without my phone and no way to contact the outside world really felt like I was experiencing the apocalypse described in this article. The poor communication was terrifying, like I was disconnected from the world, unable to contact anyone. Even when I went out and saw people everywhere, it didn't alleviate the panic at all. I had to rely on my few cash bills to take the bus, and even when I took the bus, I didn't know which bus to take without AutoNavi. What an idiot! [facepalm] Oh, I feel like I can't live without my phone. Phones are indeed convenient, but once I lose them...

On the first night, I even didn’t sleep the whole night. I couldn’t fall asleep. Once again, I realized that I am really a serious mobile phone addict. I am addicted to mobile phones!
