C1600 Returning Home
C1600 Returning Home
Although he had killed Jia Cuo this time and Ba Yong and Huo Siming had fallen into Xue Chen's hands, Zuo Cheng'ao had run away.
Just as Shih Dahai had said, the Dragon Gate had been under Zuo Cheng'ao's control for more than 20 years. Even if he appeared, he wanted to completely control the Dragon Gate. It wasn't something that could be done overnight.
In case something unexpected happened, it was better for Shih Dahai to return to the capital first. This way, he could be on guard against Zuo Cheng'ao. At the same time, he could also control some of the Dragon Gates in the capital.
In this way, he would be much safer.
Shih Dahai had returned to the capital, but Xue Chen had not. Xue Chen had returned to Fengxiang City.
Initially, Xue Chen wanted to bring Huo Hongyan back to Fengxiang City and bring Bodhi Lady away at the same time. However, Huo Hongyan said that Bodhi Lady was not suitable to travel. Furthermore, Bodhi Lady's master was coming over, so he felt that it would be better for him to stay here first.
At the same time, Huo Siming was taken away by Xue Chen. Lau Changxi did not know that Huo Hongyan was planning to go and see Lau Changxi.
No matter what, children are innocent.
Xue Chen and Lau Changxi also knew each other. But letting Xue Chen face Lau Changxi's words at this time, it was hard for Xue Chen to do it.
Therefore, Xue Chen asked Huo Hongyan to stay, but Huo Hanliu let Xue Chen take him away.
One must know that Xue Chen was going to send Huo Hanliu to that paradise. If Huo Hanliu did not follow him, how could Xue Chen send Huo Hanliu there?
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xue Chen drove a car from Huo Siming's villa. He left Huo Siming and Ba Yong in the back of the carriage and headed towards Fengxiang City.
As for whether Huo Siming and Ba Yong would escape, Xue Chen wasn't worried at all.
Because both of their hands were tied up, and in order to avoid any accidents, Xue Chen gave them some sleeping pills and fed them. It made both of them feel dizzy, and it was impossible for them to run away.
Therefore, Xue Chen did not need to worry about the two of them escaping.
Xue Chen drove the car calmly towards Fengxiang City. Huo Hanliu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was playing with his phone. Of course, he would chat with Xue Chen from time to time.
Huo Hanliu had a good impression of Xue Chen, but due to his introverted and shy personality, Huo Hanliu rarely spoke.
Of course, because of Huo Hongyan and Xue Chen's relationship, Huo Hanliu didn't know how to face Xue Chen.
Although Huo Hongyan was not Huo Hanliu's biological mother, it was undeniable that Huo Hanliu was raised by Huo Hongyan and could be considered Huo Hanliu's foster mother.
The relationship between Xue Chen and Huo Hongyan made Huo Hanliu very embarrassed.
One should know that Xue Chen was Shen Mannni's brother-in-law. Previously, he had always called Xue Chen brother. Now that Xue Chen was a generation higher than her, Huo Hanliu did not know what to do.
"What's wrong, little girl? You still want to have a baby with me after not seeing you for a while?" Xue Chen said as he drove the car.
"No, I..."
"I know what you're thinking. Let's talk our own business. Just call me Brother Xue like you used to do." Xue Chen could tell what Huo Hanliu was thinking at first glance.
Huo Hanliu slowly raised his head and looked at Xue Chen. He asked timidly, "What do you think? "Can I?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Xue Chen smiled and said, "Didn't you watch all the shows on TV?"
"Let's talk about each other. Otherwise, if you call me Uncle Xue, I will have to worry a lot!"
As he spoke, a gloomy expression slowly appeared on Xue Chen's face.
After hearing Xue Chen's words, a faint smile slowly appeared on Huo Hanliu's face. "Brother Xue..."
"That's right!"
Xue Chen and Huo Hanliu were talking and laughing. As for Huo Siming and Ba Yong, Huo Hanliu had no idea at all.
Even if they were blood relatives, Huo Siming was still Huo Hanliu's family. It was a pity that Huo Hanliu had no impression of Huo Siming.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to care about Huo Siming.
On the way back to Fengxiang City from the East Sea, Xue Chen and Huo Hanliu were talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At the same time, Xue Chen didn't drive very fast. He was driving normally. It could be said that he was stable in all directions.
By the time Xue Chen drove back to Fengxiang City, it was already past 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
Since Huo Hanliu was brought back to Fengxiang City by Xue Chen and Huo Hongyan was in the East Sea, Xue Chen naturally brought Huo Hanliu back to Sandal Palace Villa.
After Xue Chen brought Huo Hanliu back to Fengxiang City, he suddenly felt like he was returning to his hometown.
One should know that Xue Chen had always been the kind of person who had no roots. Although he had a place with Martial God before, that was only limited to a few years when he was a child. After that, Xue Chen was like a leaf without roots, drifting along with the wind.
The place that Xue Chen stayed in was Fengxiang City, because of his engagement with Shen Xuening.
Now that he had returned for the first time, Xue Chen suddenly felt like he was returning to his hometown.
After all, it had been a long time since he had returned to Fengxiang City.
When he stepped into Fengxiang City again, everything that happened in the past was like a quick camera in a movie, flashing rapidly in Xue Chen's mind.
This caused Xue Chen to feel the passing of time.
After driving back to the Sandal Palace Villa, Shen Mannni and Lin Keke were eating snacks on the sofa in the villa. At the same time, they were in a soap opera!
When Shen Mannni and Lin Keke saw Xue Chen, it was as if they had met a ghost. Their faces were full of surprise.
Seeing Lin Keke and Shen Mannni staring at each other, Xue Chen said somewhat gloomily, "Why? Don't tell me you don't know me?"
"Brother-in-law..."
"Brother Xue..."
The next moment, Lin Keke and Shen Mannni were like two happy little fairies. They threw the snacks in their hands onto the sofa and ran towards Xue Chen barefooted.
In an instant, the two of them arrived beside Xue Chen.
However, because Xue Chen had taught Shen Mannni the movement technique, Shen Mannni's speed was faster than Lin Keke's and thus threw herself into Xue Chen's arms.
Xue Chen lovingly reached out his hand to touch Shen Mannni's head, "I'm still as crazy as before, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get married in the future..."
"How is that possible? The people chasing after me can be arranged into a strong company!"
"Shen Mannni, do you want some face? You are the only one who can strengthen the company. If you strengthen the company, then I will be the reinforced group..." Lin Keke immediately looked at Shen Mannni with disdain and said.
When Shen Mannni heard Lin Keke's words, she immediately let go of Xue Chen. Her face was full of displeasure and her eyes were round. "Lin Keke, is that considered to be a reinforcement group?"
"Have you seen how many people there are in that country's reinforcement group?"
"Have you seen any reinforcement team that can be counted with ten fingers..."
Seeing Shen Mannni and Lin Keke chattering in front of him, a faint smile slowly appeared on Xue Chen's face.
"Alright, all of you stop arguing. I have a surprise for all of you!" Xue Chen interrupted them softly.
After Shen Mannni and Lin Keke heard Xue Chen's words, they immediately asked Xue Chen in unison, "What surprise?"
Xue Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "I promise it is a big surprise!"
As he spoke, Xue Chen said to Huo Hanliu outside, "Come in."
The next moment, Huo Hanliu walked in from outside.
When Lin Keke and Shen Mannni saw Huo Hanliu, they could not help but blink at the same time. They thought they were hallucinating.
The two of them knew that Huo Hanliu had gone to the Never Setting Sun Empire. Initially, Shen Mannni wanted to go as well but was rejected by Xue Chen.
Adding Shen Xuening's disagreement, Shen Mannni could only give up. Even so, she had always been in contact with Huo Hanliu.
It was just that she was suddenly unable to contact him recently. This made Shen Mannni feel very uncomfortable and at the same time, she was filled with worry.
Now that she suddenly saw Huo Hanliu appear in front of her, it made Shen Mannni and Lin Keke somewhat unable to believe their eyes!
But when they opened their eyes again and saw Huo Hanliu, they immediately cried out and ran towards Huo Hanliu.
In an instant, the two of them ran to Huo Hanliu's side and the three girls hugged each other.
After a short hug, the three of them slowly separated.
"Hanliu, it really is you. I thought I was hallucinating. When did you come back?" Lin Keke hurriedly asked.
"Yes, when did you come back? During this period of time, Keke and I couldn't contact you, so I was worried to death. You didn't even tell the two of us when you came back, so you're still not good sisters..."
Shen Mannni and the other two had a very good relationship. They were completely iron friends.
Now that the Iron Triangle was once again gathered together, thousands of words immediately welled up in their hearts.
When faced with others, Huo Hanliu appeared very shy. But even when faced with Shen Mannni and Lin Keke, he still seemed very reserved. "My... my mom said that Brother Xue is in trouble and told me not to contact you guys. I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, as long as you're safe!" Lin Keke said casually and carelessly.
Maybe it was because they had met for a long time, but Xue Chen was completely ignored by Shen Mannni and Lin Keke. This made Xue Chen's heart filled with unprecedented helplessness.
After that, Xue Chen could not help but cough lightly, "Can you guys give me a look?"
Hearing Xue Chen's words, Shen Mannni and Lin Keke realized that Xue Chen was also here!
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I was a little excited for a moment..."
Xue Chen did not argue with Shen Mannni. He could understand how Shen Mannni and the others felt.
"Before you guys talk, can you tell me where my mom is first? I have something to do with my mom!" Xue Chen asked quietly.
He had also returned to the villa, but he did not see Gong Shangyu. This made Xue Chen very confused.
One must know that this was a very important time. Gong Shangyu also knew that it should not be possible to leave Lin Keke and Shen Mannni in the villa, right?
