Chapter 405: Don't Agree?
Chapter 405: Don't Agree?
December 7, 2024
"Big Brother Gao, I understand what you mean."
Jiang Cheng's expression also turned grim.
"It's not just me, but my family too. They also want to go out and see the world. After all, we've been here for several months, and while the environment in the slum is not bad, staying for too long can get boring, right? Moreover, it's been so long, and Gu Changjun's side may have already relaxed their guard. When we go out, as long as we're careful, we probably won't be discovered."
Gao Ling still furrowed his brows.
He didn't want Jiang Cheng to leave because it might create some variables.
But what Jiang Cheng said was only human nature.
Just like the others in the slum, besides registering when going out, there were no other requirements.
"Big Brother Gao, if you're really worried, you can send someone to accompany us."
Jiang Cheng added, "On the one hand, they can guide us since we're new here and unfamiliar with some places. On the other hand, even if we encounter danger, the possibility of an accident is not high with them around."
Upon hearing this, Gao Ling's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Then, he sighed.
"Little Brother, I understand how you feel, but even I can't make this decision. Let's wait until later, and after we return, I'll contact Chang Lin and see what he says?"
"Okay."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Big Brother Gao. The time spent in alchemy these days has been too long. Every day, as soon as it's light, I enter the alchemy chamber and don't leave until ten or eleven at night. It's really exhausting."
"I understand, I understand."
Unsure if it was out of guilt or embarrassment, Gao Ling agreed hastily.
"Little Brother, rest assured. I'll definitely speak to Chang Lin on your behalf. Unless something unexpected happens, he should agree."
"That's great. By the way, Big Brother, these are the places we want to visit. You can show them to Elder Brother Chang Lin. I've read online that if you don't visit these places, coming to Dongfang City would be a waste."
Jiang Cheng handed over the travel plan he had prepared earlier.
Gao Ling took it and glanced through it.
These locations were indeed unique places within the inner city.
People from other cities who arrived in Dongfang City would also visit these places.
He scratched his head and agreed.
After returning to the office, he immediately contacted Gu Chang Lin and conveyed the matter.
"Oh?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Gu Chang Lin's eyes. "Did you notice his expression? Does he truly want to take his family out for a walk, or is he planning to run away using this opportunity?"
"It's probably the former."
Gao Ling carefully recalled and said, "From his appearance, he does seem a bit tired. Moreover, he mentioned that he hoped we would send someone to accompany them. Also, Chang Lin, I've observed him these past few days, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving us. Even if we assume he wants to leave, where could he possibly go?"
"We can't be too careless."
Gu Chang Lin shook his head.
"It's possible that someone from another family has secretly contacted him and is trying to lure him away."
Gao Ling fell silent for a moment, "So, do you mean we shouldn't agree?"
"We have to agree."
Gu Chang Lin thought for a moment, "But we should carefully select the companions and ensure they have sufficient strength. Forget it, I'll find time to personally accompany him on this trip."
"Huh?"
Gao Ling opened his mouth in surprise. "Chang Lin, why don't I go instead? Your time is so precious."
"It's fine," Gu Changlin shook his head.
He could be casual with others, but when it came to Jiang Cheng, he had to take it seriously.
By personally accompanying them, he could minimize the risks and also win their hearts.
After all, if he were Jiang Cheng, he would also be deeply touched after learning about this.
"Okay, I'll pass on the message to him later. By the way, Chang Lin, when do you plan to take them out?"
"Tomorrow," Gu Changlin replied after a moment's thought.
After ending the call, a hint of worry flashed in Gao Ling's eyes.
After all, anything was possible.
But recently, Jiang Cheng had been very obedient, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Thinking of this, his worry lessened a little.
Moreover, tomorrow he would personally accompany them.
On the contrary, if he refused, Jiang Cheng would definitely have objections, although he wasn't afraid of that. But he didn't want to strain their relationship until the last moment.
Soon, Jiang Cheng received a call from Gao Ling.
"Little Brother, good news! Chang Lin has agreed to take your family out for a tour tomorrow, and he will go with you too."
Gao Ling sighed, "Chang Lin really cares about you. Only you can make him take time out. If it were anyone else, haha."
"Really? That's great!"
Jiang Cheng quickly expressed his gratitude.
"I'm so embarrassed to trouble Big Brother Chang Lin."
"It's nothing, he's also considering your safety, worrying that if you encounter danger outside, the person with you might not be careful enough."
Gao Ling laughed heartily.
"Little Brother, tomorrow, take your family out for a good time and relax. After you come back, you can focus on alchemy and take another trip after some time to relax and work."
"Big Brother is right, don't worry. After I come back, I'll work hard on alchemy and strive to repay the loan early."
Jiang Cheng assured him.
"Haha, Little Brother, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just repay the loan slowly, no one is rushing you."
Gao Ling gave a dry laugh.
He wondered what Jiang Cheng's reaction would be when he learned the truth.
However, it wouldn't be long before his Psych Energy reached the Grandmaster level.
After hanging up the call, Jiang Cheng walked out of the room and called his family to the living room.
Upon hearing that they were going out to play tomorrow, Aunt Chen and Lin Yue's faces lit up with smiles, especially Lin Yue, who had repeatedly expressed her desire to go out and see the world, only to be refused each time.
The old man also smiled, showing no curiosity about the outside world and rarely even going downstairs.
But seeing others happy, he felt happy too.
"Big Brother Jiang, do we need to prepare anything?"
Lin Yue asked curiously.
"No need," Jiang Cheng smiled. "You can bring some water to drink on the way, but it's fine even if you don't. Going empty-handed is okay too."
Bringing luggage would only raise suspicions.
Moreover, he genuinely wanted to take his family out for a tour, to see the sights of the Inner City and create unforgettable memories.
He didn't know when the next opportunity like this would come.
