“The day after tomorrow?” Ye Chen said, “That’s Tawana’s first concert in Hu City. After picking her up, I’ll need to wait four days before returning. Is there a risk of her being exposed in Hu City during that time?”
Lin Wan’er replied, “It should be fine. The identity we’ve arranged for Miss Song is military, with a confidentiality level. Local authorities won’t have access to her details. She’ll have genuine documents, so there shouldn’t be any slip-ups.”
She added, “You’re driving to Hu City, right, young master?”
“Yes,” Ye Chen said. “I’m on the road now.”
“That’s perfect,” Lin Wan’er said with a smile. “Pick Miss Song up from the airport and settle her in your hotel. Have her stay in and focus on cultivation for those few days. When you’re done, drive her back with you. Avoiding public transport will keep her off the radar.”
Ye Chen found Lin Wan’er’s plan sensible. When it came to staying hidden, few could rival Lin Wan’er, who had evaded Wu Feiyan for over three centuries.
So, he said, “I’ll follow your arrangements, Miss Lin. Will I be able to pick her up smoothly at the military airport that night?”
“No problem,” Lin Wan’er assured. “Just give me your license plate number, and someone will meet you at the airport.”
Ye Chen had no doubts about Sun Zhidong’s capabilities, his arrangements were bound to be flawless. “Alright, I’ll head over then.”
…
Meanwhile, at the Wanlong Hall headquarters in Syria.
Thanks to vast funding, the construction of the headquarters was progressing rapidly.
All dead warriors and knight guards were settled here upon arrival, with Wanlong Hall building extensive above-ground and underground complexes to ensure a comfortable life.
With ample funds and the convenience of Yisu Shipping, Wanlong Hall, despite being in Syria, enjoyed top-tier supplies. Wan Pojun planned to turn it into a fortified, self-sufficient city capable of supporting tens of thousands.
To provide modern education for children who had spent their lives underground, Wanlong Hall established a temporary school and an education team. High-educated members used China’s compulsory education curriculum to give the children a strong foundation.
The dead warriors and knight guards were deeply grateful for Ye Chen’s arrangements. After settling in, they willingly contributed to the construction efforts, joining the infrastructure team and working eight-hour shifts to build Wanlong Hall.
The group from Morocco had arrived just days earlier.
Upon arrival, they were integrated with the other dead warriors and knight guards. Those who had arrived earlier were incredibly warm, helping in every way possible, even creating opportunities to assist.
It wasn’t uncommon for a family to be assigned a Wanlong Hall apartment, only to find a group of earlier arrivals and their families showing up to help them settle in.
While helping, everyone quickly got to know each other, sharing stories of their experiences at different outposts.
When those rescued earlier by Ye Chen heard from the Morocco group that the Qing Breakers had begun a massive reshuffling of all outposts, they were both shocked and immensely relieved.
They had been brought here, families intact, before the reshuffling began.
But such an opportunity might never come again.
After landing in Syria, Song Ruyu was astonished by the scale of the base and everything done for the dead warriors and knight guards.
The image of that handsome face flashed in her mind, and her admiration for Ye Chen grew.
Yet, seeing the dead warriors and knight guards reunited with their families, she felt a deep sense of loneliness.
Perhaps, in this lifetime, she’d never see her own family again.
