After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 392, Episode 0425: A Little Horror on the Road

Leng Xingran didn't quite understand what Yan Wanyun was angry about this time. After hearing Leng Xinghui's story, he still didn't quite understand. But from Leng Xinghui's story, he understood one thing - never wait until you lose something to cherish it!

Look at my second brother, he looks like he's lost his soul and is being ridiculed by the whole family. He's really pitiful.

Leng Xinghui: "...Get lost."

Leng Xingran grinned, revealing her bright white teeth, and then rolled away in a spectacular fashion.

Lin Yuexi and the others were all sensible and wouldn't cause trouble for Xu Shan and the others by adding to their workload. Except when they went to the restroom, they would stay in the carriage to rest or read. Occasionally, they would have a small meeting in the family room. Xu Shan and the others would buy the meals for them.

They encountered no trouble on the way; it was peaceful and smooth, at least in the eyes of Lin Yuexi and the others.

Time flew by on the two-day, three-night train journey.

The train only goes as far as Cangshi. To get to Chongyang Island, you have to get off the train in Cangshi, take a bus to Luoxi County, and then take a boat from Luoxi County to Chongyang Island.

The National Security officers in Cangshi had already been notified, and vehicles were already waiting outside the special passage after they got off the train.

Lin Yuexi was escorted all the way to a Jeep that she liked in the neighborhood. She had already stepped into the car, but suddenly stopped.

As her 'personal bodyguard,' Xu Shan was fully aware of the meaning behind all her reactions. He immediately tensed up, drew his pistol from his waist, and scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes.

Not only him, but all of Lin Yuexi's guards increased their vigilance.

The safety catches on everyone's guns were activated almost simultaneously.

Their reaction startled the national security personnel escorting them. These were all elites among elites, and there were no unnecessary problems. They all increased their vigilance.

The old man and his family were very familiar with this kind of scene, so they didn't waste any time and quickly got into the car.

Despite all the talk, it all happened in just a few seconds.

Lin Yuexi paused for a moment, then quickly got into the car, with Xu Shan and a comrade from the National Security Bureau sitting on either side of her.

In less than a minute, the convoy started and quickly left.

The convoy quickly left the train station area and headed towards Luoxi County.

Everyone was on edge.

Tick-tock;
Tick-tock;
Tick-tock;
Time ticked by steadily, second by second.

It seemed to happen very quickly, yet it also seemed to be stretched out infinitely.

Everyone's breathing sounded amplified.

"Boom~"

A loud bang came from behind.

After a moment of surprise, everyone was left with the thought, "As expected, they've come."

A series of explosions and gunshots rang in my ears, surrounded me, and followed me.

However, everyone present was extremely familiar with this kind of scene. Even Leng Xingran and the others, who should not have encountered this situation in theory, had all experienced it to some extent because of the old man, and they were all able to remain calm.

Fight back when you need to, and protect yourself when you need to.

It started very suddenly, but ended very quickly. Before we had even walked halfway down a street, the gunfire and artillery fire behind us had stopped.

None of these factors hindered the team's progress.

After leaving Cangshi, the walkie-talkie reported that they were safe. The next two hours passed without incident, and the team arrived safely in Luoxi County. Arrangements had already been made in Luoxi County, and the group stayed at the Luoxi County Guesthouse that night.

After a fierce chase and a two-hour drive, everyone was quite tired, especially the old man, who was getting on in years. So everyone just ate a little something and went back to their rooms to rest.

We set off again early the next morning. The road was ultimately unsafe, so we wanted to arrive as soon as possible to put our minds at ease.

It takes another two hours to get to Chongyang Island by boat from Luoxi County.

This can't be too special, because the old man and Lin Yuexi don't want it to be too special.

Someone has already cleaned up the mess for them, diverting attention and making their safety here much more secure. At least for now, their presence in Rossi County is definitely not a leak, so there's no need to make things too special, wasting resources and risking not being able to keep track of them and letting others know they're here.

Chongyang Island has been developed in recent years, making it one of the most developed islands among our islands. It is said that the island has already taken on the appearance of a small-scale city.

This rumor can only be confirmed by seeing it with one's own eyes; however, judging from the relatively dense flow of ships coming and going at the port, it is clear that Chongyang Island has indeed been developed quite well, and its reputation is not unfounded.

A group of people squeezed onto a regular two-story passenger ship.

There is a naval base on Chongyang Island, and it is quite common to see soldiers on ships, so Xu Shan and the others did not deliberately 'hide' themselves, but simply put on naval uniforms.

Sure enough, no one was surprised to see Xu Shan and the others. One enthusiastic older woman even grabbed Xiao Hei and insisted on introducing him to her niece who worked on the island.

The passenger ship they were on only transported passengers back and forth; there were no private cabins or anything like that. There was only a large cabin that provided shelter from the sun and rain, plus a deck with benches fixed to it.

It was rather hot and humid today, and the old man didn't like waiting in the cabin, so Lin Yuexi stayed with him on the deck outside.

The two found an empty seat near the edge and sat down, chatting and eating pistachios while looking at the vast sea.

"Your second brother is really useless. He's been on a boat so many times, and he still gets seasick." The old man's tone was one of disdain, as if he didn't want to acknowledge him.

Lin Yuexi never expected that her second brother, who had collected soil samples from many islands, would get seasick!

He collapsed not long after the boat set sail, which terrified his mother. She's still standing by his side, watching him intently.

As if triggering a certain keyword, an old man wearing a slightly ill-fitting Zhongshan suit not far from them peeked over, curiously glanced at the old man and Lin Yuexi a few times, and then, as if speaking familiarly, chimed in, "Brother, does your kid get seasick too?"

The old man seamlessly followed up, saying, "That's right, the boat capsized less than two minutes after it set sail, and he was lying there half-conscious, like a corpse."

“My child used to get seasick, and he couldn’t swim at all. But after joining the navy, he doesn’t get seasick anymore, and he can swim really fast now.”

Got it, he's showing off his baby.

The old man glanced at the two large sacks beside the old man's feet and asked with a smile, "Is your child serving in the army on the island across the way? Are you going to see him?"

"Yes."

"You brought so much stuff!"

The old man realized that the old man had misunderstood, so he quickly waved his hands to deny it, "These are not all for my child. A relative of mine is getting married, and most of these were given to me by my wife to take home for the relative."

Oh my, what a coincidence, you're also going to a wedding.

Could there be an even bigger coincidence?
The two old men had a lot to talk about. Under the old man's deliberate guidance, and with the old man having no guard up, the old man almost managed to get all his ancestors out of the old man.

If we're talking about the word 'coincidence,' its very existence implies that such a thing actually happened.

This old man really did come to attend Yang Chunhua's wedding.

Although he didn't explicitly mention Yang Chunhua's name, the experiences of the relative he described were essentially a copy and paste of Yang Chunhua's.
