Chapter 818: Going to Mingzhou

The injuries have recovered well over the past half month.

There was no discomfort when fastening the seatbelt.

Yaen Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Bo Yanching’s injuries hadn’t healed well.

The journey back would be bumpy all the way.

He took one last look at the majestic mansion of Nan Mansion before leaving.

But Nan Jiaojiao.

Where exactly is she?

“Just in time, I have news.

Brother Jian contacted me yesterday.

He is chasing a few international fugitives and has reached country Y, where he’s in touch with the local police.

But from country Y to Mingzhou lies that desert and the connecting primitive forest which is in your territory.

He’s asking for a path, fearing unforeseen incidents.

It’s best if you go personally because only you are recognized over there; they won’t heed verbal orders.”

Bo Yanching rested his elbow on the window ledge, his gaze slowly pulling back from the plaque at the entrance of Nan Mansion, his black eyes half-closed, glancing at the wound on his waist.

“Whatever, let’s go.”

“Then, to the airport.

Leave this car here; you might return later.”

Bo Yanching glanced at the rearview mirror.

Yaen Chi grinned broadly, unable to retract his smile in time; Bo Yanching kicked the seat, “Can’t you stop being sarcastic?”

Yaen Chi raised his eyebrow, or he’d suffocate.

At the border of country Y and Mingzhou.

The ship docked at the port.

To reach Mingzhou smoothly, one has to traverse a desert with perilous terrain, sandstorms, and rocky paths, and there’s constant signal blocking in the desert along with marauding bandits and criminals.

Places like Mingzhou attract only desperate outlaws or dreamers looking to make a fortune, but most of them never escape the desert.

Buried by the sands, even their bodies are hard to find.

Initially meant to part ways with Yeh Hannian at the dock, but he insisted on tagging along to the desert’s edge.

White Fox happened to be heading there to pick someone up, and after consulting Nan Jiaojiao, reluctantly extended the journey with Yeh Hannian.

However, White Fox later discovered Yeh Hannian was trying to sneak Nan Jiaojiao away during his nap and exploded on the spot, insisting on parting with Yeh Hannian by force.

“Afraid of what?

Ahead is my territory; can I possibly harm her?”

White Fox flipped his eyelids, “Hurry up and leave, or you might not get away later.”

Yeh Hannian was nonchalant, “We’ve come this far, not like others can do as they please.

Li Jian chased us all the way and still didn’t catch us.”

White Fox darted him a mocking glance, “Really?”

Yeh Hannian couldn’t stand his attitude, and the two argued frequently along the way.

Barely saying a few words, he walked over aggressively, “Take off the mask and talk properly, today I’ll see how ugly you really are.”

White Fox sidestepped, Yeh Hannian entangled him, and neither knew who struck first before they started fighting.

“If my master hadn’t repaid your favor, do you really think you could’ve reached here safely?

Even your territory is nearly surrounded!”

“White Fox!” Nan Jiaojiao sternly reprimanded.

White Fox jolted back to his senses, realizing he couldn’t control his words.

Yeh Hannian stopped too, grabbing White Fox’s incoming arm and shoving it away, his gaze instantly darkening, “What do you mean, clarify.”

His gaze shifted, staring at Nan Jiaojiao, “Xiao Nannan, hiding something from me?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s brow furrowed slightly, the half-revealed face beneath the black cat mask calm and indifferent, lips pursed in silence.

Suddenly, an explosion erupted.

Yeh Hannian and White Fox simultaneously lunged at Nan Jiaojiao.

But Yeh Hannian was positioned farther away, not as fast as White Fox, his unchecked momentum causing his elbow to strike a protruding hard stone on the ground.
