Meanwhile, Lu Chen and his group returned to the base.
In the car, Lu Chen held the address Li Xin'er had written for him, along with Li Yiyuan's basic information, and stared at it intently.
Upon seeing this, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle, my dad is in Huangxia Plain. I'll have someone from the team go with him, and I'll take some men to Haishi."
He knew how much effort and energy his uncle had spent searching for his missing son over the years.
With a lead presented to him, his uncle would certainly not give up, no matter what.
Lu Chen sighed softly, shaking his head with a somewhat weary expression.
"No need, I'll make arrangements in Haishi. Your main task right now is still with Li Xin'er."
As he spoke, he carefully folded the paper and put it into the inside pocket of his suit jacket.
Lu Jin'an knew that once her uncle made a decision, there was basically no room for reversal, so she didn't try to persuade him further.
“Okay, if Uncle needs anything, my team members are also available.”
Lu Chen did not refuse for the time being; he knew the strength of the Dragon Flame team members.
"Yes, that's thoughtful of you."
This still unknown topic didn't last long before the two started discussing the transaction.
Lu Chen rubbed the bridge of his nose with one hand and said in a deep voice:
“The situation at the base is not good. Your father and your second uncle are also under a lot of pressure. Sending you back is not a spur-of-the-moment decision. The Warwing Legion is now completely tied to Li Xin’er, so there is no need to keep an eye on them anymore.”
"As for Li Xin'er, she shouldn't need your protection. You just need to stay with her at the base."
Lu Chen didn't say it very clearly, but Lu Jin'an understood his meaning perfectly.
"I know what to do."
Those people will realize Li Xin'er's importance sooner or later. If he goes back with her, he will show the Lu family's stance and attitude, and those people will at least be unable to interfere openly.
Simply put, Li Xin'er and her group must be won over.
Lu Chen's brows relaxed; he was quite satisfied with his nephew's competence.
Then I thought of another nephew who was at the base, doing nothing and never leaving the house.
"The last message I received was that your second uncle wanted Pei Ting to return as soon as possible. You must know what your second uncle is thinking; he has always wanted Pei Ting to take over his position."
“But Pei Tingxin isn’t here, and he’s not cut out for it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the entertainment industry against his will. Now is a tense time, and his return wouldn’t be of much use. On the contrary, it might even cause unnecessary trouble.”
After the communication was interrupted, they restarted the segmented wireless telegraph transmission method and temporarily made contact.
But these things can't be explained in just a few words. Since Lu Jin'an is going back, let him pass on the message.
Lu Chen: "Let him stay here for now, so I can give him some experience."
"If Li Xin'er's path continues, there might be another path that is more suitable for him."
Lu Jin'an understood and guessed that his uncle wanted Pei Ting to go into business with him.
With a slight smile, Lu Jin'an directly betrayed Lu Peiting.
"Uncle is right. Pei Ting's private assets are developing well and are indeed quite suitable."
Lu Peiting has made a lot of money in the entertainment industry and has privately acquired many businesses. Although he does it discreetly, he can't hide it from them.
Lu Chen knew this, which is why he thought Lu Peiting was suitable. Thinking that these things hadn't attracted his second brother Lu Qi's attention, he couldn't help but complain.
"Only my second brother managed to get stuck in a dead end."
Lu Jin'an knew his second uncle's temperament well; he was stubborn and inflexible, but since he was also an elder, he didn't respond to that remark.
Lu Chen's hand, resting on the center armrest, tapped rhythmically. Suddenly, he paused, and his expression darkened.
"Also, when you go back, you should give Yu'er a good talking-to. The marriage alliance with the Lan family was just a joke the old men made back then, and it shouldn't be taken seriously."
"It's time to stop letting her run wild all these years."
Lu Jin'an felt a headache coming on when she thought of her hot-tempered cousin.
This is much harder than the task itself!
Back when the Lu family patriarch was still alive, the Lu and Lan families had a good relationship. At the Lan family's grandson's 100-day celebration, the two old men were so happy that they said that if the Lu family had a granddaughter in the future, the two families would get married.
At that 100th birthday banquet, everyone was from the same circle, and quite a few people heard about it.
The third generation of the Lu family had two sons in a row, until Lu Chen's twins were born, including a girl named Lu Yu.
The matter of the marriage between the two families was brought up again, but from that time onwards, the Lu family experienced many misfortunes.
First came the search for the missing child, then Lu Chen's wife suddenly disappeared, and then came the passing of Old Master Lu...
One thing after another kept the Lu family busy, and they didn't take it seriously either.
Who would have thought that Lu Yu would actually fall for Lan Mingxuan of the Lan family when she grew up...
The relationship between the two families gradually deteriorated due to the passing of their respective fathers and the changing times, leading to mutual loathing.
Now, the two sides are directly on opposite sides, so this marriage is absolutely impossible.
Seeing Lu Jin'an's furrowed brows, Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle and teased her:
"With so many soldiers under his command, whose code names alone would make the entire Chinese military tremble, how come he still can't control the little devil at home?"
Lu Jin'an lowered her head helplessly, her tone resentful.
"Uncle is wrong. Xiaoyu doesn't call herself a little devil, she calls herself the invincible overlord who destroys heaven and earth."
As the only girl in her generation, Lu Yu was spoiled from a young age and became fearless.
It's not that he doesn't want to care, it's that even if he wanted to, he's powerless and doesn't know where to start.
He couldn't bring himself to beat them like those greenhorns.
Lu Chen laughed out loud, looking like he was watching a good show, and patted Lu Jin'an on the shoulder encouragingly:
"Haha, your uncle believes in you, you can do it."
Lu Jin'an's silence was deafening.
During dinner that evening, Li Xin'er informed everyone that she would be going out on errands and would not be back for an indefinite period, but she estimated it wouldn't be too long.
Everyone expressed their desire to go with her, but she refused them all.
"It's easier for me to travel alone. Besides, the situation over there is still uncertain, and I also have things to do here. You all stay here."
"I will carry a carrier pigeon and will contact you if anything happens."
Everyone then calmed down, and Li Xin'er then gave some instructions on other miscellaneous matters.
The next morning, Castor drove, and Carl accompanied Li Xin'er to the base.
This is Li Xin'er's first time at the base since she left last time.
On the way from the villa to the base, there were very few zombies to be seen, and the streets were quite deserted.
As they approached the safe zone, Li Xin'er's soul power detected sentry posts hidden in various high-rise buildings, monitoring the perimeter.
Two streets away, I saw roadblocks blocking the way, clearly demarcating a cleared safety zone.
Where roadblocks are set up, there will be a team of security sentries, about ten people per team, patrolling the street.
Further in, there's another guard post every few hundred meters. When your car gets here, it will have to undergo a preliminary inspection.
Register the number of people, inquire about the reasons for entering and leaving, and check whether the vehicle is carrying dangerous goods, etc.
