Chapter 234 It's him
The car drove smoothly on the highway, and the number of other cars in the same lane gradually decreased.
At this point, the car still following behind them became very obvious.
Lin Yan'an squinted and glanced at the car in the rearview mirror. He vaguely felt that the car behind them had been following them.
He looked away, glanced at his car's speed, and decisively pressed the accelerator lightly.
The car's speed increased instantly.
At the same time, he observed the reaction of the car behind him through the rearview mirror.
Sure enough, the car accelerated, but still maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
"Wanwan."
Lin Yan'an's voice was calm, revealing little emotion: "That car behind us seems to have been following us the whole time."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror as well. Although she was a good driver, she wasn't particularly sensitive to vehicles.
Given her trust in Lin Yan'an, she did feel that the car looked somewhat familiar after hearing his words.
Zhong Wan frowned slightly, puzzled: "They must be going the same way, right? They couldn't possibly be paparazzi, could they?"
Zhong Suisui yawned lazily, turned around and jumped between the two, squatting on the armrest box, and said slowly, "It's Uncle Chen Mo."
"Chen Mo?"
Zhong Wan and Lin Yan'an were both taken aback and spoke in unison.
【Um. 】
Zhong Suisui wagged her tail, nodded her little head firmly, and continued, "It's him. Besides him, there are two other uncles I don't recognize."
Upon hearing Zhong Suisui's retelling, the two instantly understood.
Lin Yan'an's tense emotions instantly relaxed.
He slowed down, nodded slightly to the car in the rearview mirror, and then, as Zhong Wan explained, "It seems Director Qin arranged this. Su Mu is on leave, so they must be the people Su Mu mentioned who are in charge of your safety during the Spring Festival."
"They've been following us ever since we got off the plane."
Zhong Wan instantly understood, feeling a surge of warmth at Director Qin's arrangement, and her worries instantly dissipated.
She leaned back in her seat, looked at the sign ahead, and said, "The service area is just ahead. Let's rest as planned. I'll take my turn driving."
"good,"
This time, Lin Yan'an did not object and smoothly drove the car into the service area.
There weren't many cars at the service area at night, but there were still quite a few.
Lin Yan'an found a spot to park the car.
The two opened the car door and got out, stretching their somewhat stiff bodies.
As soon as Zhong Wan turned around, she saw the black SUV silently parked in another parking space not too far from them.
It remained there quietly, without making a sound.
For a moment, she was really confused.
Zhong Suisui appeared silently in her pocket, her fluffy little head resting on the edge of the pocket.
Lin Yan'an walked over to her, put his arm around Zhong Wan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "With them here, we can feel more at ease. Let's go inside and rest for a bit, and buy some hot drinks."
"good."
Zhong Wan nodded and agreed.
The two went into the service station and bought some hot coffee and simple food.
Zhong Wan even bought three extra portions, giving Lin Yan'an a meaningful look.
Lin Yan'an instantly understood. He picked up the three portions, left the store, and walked towards the SUV.
Zhong Wan sat leisurely in her chair, sipping her hot coffee while watching Lin Yan'an's retreating figure.
He walked over to the car and knocked on the window.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Lin Yan'an looked at Chen Mo's poker face, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Chen Mo."
He reached out and handed over the things he was holding: "Thank you for your hard work. It's the New Year, and you're still out there running around with us."
Chen Mo looked at the hot drinks in his hand, and seeing that there were three servings in total, he was quite surprised.
However, he quickly regained his composure, reached out and took the hot drink, feeling its temperature. His usually expressionless face softened considerably, and he nodded to Lin Yan'an: "Thank you."
Lin Yan'an smiled and watched him hand the items to the other two one by one.
His gaze swept over the other two capable-looking and composed team members. He nodded slightly when he met their eyes, then looked at Chen Mo and asked in a familiar yet concerned tone, "Su Mu has gone back to hand over the duties. I'm sorry to have troubled you during the Spring Festival. But how are you planning to spend the holiday? Do you need us to help you prepare accommodations?"
Chen Mo took a sip of his hot coffee, the warmth sliding down his throat and into his body, instantly dispelling some of the midnight chill.
He calmly replied, "No need to trouble yourself, we've already made arrangements."
His voice was flat, but his tone was much gentler: "During the Spring Festival, we will take turns on duty to ensure Comrade Zhong Wan's safety. Her accommodation has been arranged, and it will be near your home so as not to disturb your normal life."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an instantly felt reassured. Director Qin's arrangements were indeed thoughtful, protecting Zhong Wan's safety without disrupting their normal lives.
"That's good."
Lin Yan'an smiled and nodded slightly to Chen Mo: "Then I'll head back now."
He paused, his voice now tinged with amusement, "After all, it's not as convenient as being in the city. Please contact us anytime if you need anything."
He said this with exceptional confidence.
It felt just like being in his own village.
Hmm, it doesn't seem to make much difference.
It seems that his parents-in-law treat him no differently than they treat Zhong Wan and Zhong Yang, and are even much gentler.
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Mo nodded in agreement.
Lin Yan'an didn't say anything more, but her expression became much lighter: "I'm leaving. Happy New Year in advance."
"Happy New Year."
The three of them replied in unison.
After a brief exchange, Lin Yan'an turned and returned to Zhong Wan's side.
"You're back! How did the chat go?"
Zhong Wan, biting her straw, reached out and handed him her cup, looking at Lin Yan'an curiously and asking, "What did they say? Do you need help arranging accommodation?"
Lin Yan'an shook her head, sat down, took the coffee and took a sip: "No need, Chen Mo said they've already made arrangements. It's near our home and won't disturb our normal lives."
Zhong Wan instantly understood, frantically recalling the locations near her home, and the answer came to her in an instant.
Her house is right by the roadside, next to the river, with a pretty nice view. You can even fish outside the door. So much so that a couple of years ago, her neighbor on the left tore down the front wall of their house and built a small two-story building on that spot, turning it into a hotel.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhong Wan thought, they should be staying there, right?
After all, she couldn't think of anywhere else they could stay besides that place.
Unable to come up with an answer, Zhong Wan didn't make things difficult for herself.
She took another sip through the straw, turned her head to look at the car outside, and asked curiously, "Aren't they going to get out and stretch their legs?"
