434 Nothing to Do with You (2/2)

Xiao San had been focused on drinking tea with her head held low when Han Chu was talking to Ye Shuang. He was great at pretending anyway; he would definitely not interrupt when it was none of his business. He only lifted his head and smiled happily, looking innocent, after Han Chu was done explaining the situation.

”We've handled it for Brother Han and Sister Ye. It's better that my men don't stick our noses in whatever's happening from now on… The water is too murky after all; I'm sure you guys understand.”

What he meant was that the cult would not make any arrangements on their own. The most they would do was pass on any news if they happened to hear anything.

Han Chu did not plan to drag them into this, so he nodded. ”Indeed, it's inconvenient for you guys to intervene.

”But it might be a little chaotic in San Lin City, so I'm not confident I can bring it under control. If you guys are worried about your family, would it be better if all of you hid outside the city?”

”Don't worry about us, Brother Han. We came up with a plan before speaking to you.” Xiao San chuckled as he stood up from the couch. There was a packed suitcase by him. ”The master is planning to travel with the kids. It's going to be a one-month trip. I'll be following them to sort things out. So, I'll be off now.”

Han Chu stood up to shake his hand. ”Thanks for the list.”

”Don't mention it. You can call me if there's anything that I can help with.

Ye Shuang, who had been holding herself back, could finally speak after Xiao San excused himself. ”I have a feeling that he's running away.”

”He's not running away. He just wants nothing to do with us at the moment.” Han Chu had also seen through it, but he was unbothered. ”Didn't you notice that he didn't even tell us where he's going? They've washed their hands of us. I'm guessing they were helping us, figuring that they'll be staying in San Lin City for a long time. They're just doing this for good karma, but they definitely won't help if things get out of hand.”

About Xiao San offering help whenever they needed, it was just an empty promise after all.

As long as the situation was not life and death, it was impossible for Han Chu and Ye Shuang to drag an outsider down with them. If they really did that, it would be too late if Xiao San was to rush there from God knew how far away from San Lin City.

”Your partner is the only person that you can rely on at such critical time.” Ye Shuang sighed. ”We can only use external assistance occasionally.”

”We're fortunate that we have partners.” Han Chu looked at his phone. Instead of sitting down, he walked straight to the door. ”Let's go. It's been so many days. We should visit Tony.”

Ye Shuang could hardly believe her ears. ”So, you do remember there's this person named Tony!”

”…” Of course he remembered. However, since Anthony would not die while he was only being captured for half a month, what difference would it make?

Meanwhile on the other side, Cedrick was sitting right before Anthony and exclaimed while holding a cup of coffee, ”I thought you guys were only putting on a show. Now it seems like you've really been abandoned.”

”…”
