Chapter 33 part 2 (2/2)

From Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei he had no news, which started to worry him. The elderly couple lived in the mountain, mobile phone therefore got no signals but even if the two bodyguards settled in their home first, fifteen days should have been enough for them to be back already so he couldn’t understand why they were delayed.

If Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei were to hear, they would certainly feel wronged as in fact their only wish was to hurry up and go. Even in the mountains the hot days were especially unendurable. As for the old Lin couple, while they painfully planted their rice, raised in distress their pigs and as they kept worrying about all their troubles, they were still reluctant to leave. Adding the fact that they were old, they also wouldn’t take the plane. (HappySheep: because of blood clot? Selwyna: or because they simply dislike flying with a plane? ‘Cause not everyone likes taking a plane)

But after seven days of endless and oppressive birds chirping, Cao Lei truly couldn’t deal with it anymore and, looking around at the land which was now yellow and enduring the anger in his heart said

“You also want to see Zhefeng no? The weather is so hot, don’t you fear that he might had some accident? The land cannot be worked on as it is and, come on, are the pigs really that important? People keep dropping like flies because of the heat, there must be at least a dozen of patients in each hospital. The young master lives in D City, not too far from H City. We can pass through H City to have a look and see.”

original translation on

Thinking of their son and hearing they had no need to take the plane, the couple loosened up and, acknowledging the withered and yellowish crops, gave their pigs to the folks in the neighborhood, packed for three days and leisurely left their house with Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei.

Back in a town, Wang Xuebing gave the young master a call.

Bai Jing mood wasn’t good as the high temperature had lasted thirteen days already and if he remembered correctly it would very soon drop, and what would follow would be devastation, bones and… No, probably no bones as there will only be zombies roaming around.

Receiving the phone call, Bai Jing directly began to scold

“What did you do? How can picking up some people can take so long? Come back fast, don’t you dare spare a minute.”

Wang Xuebing felt frustrated from the undeserved admonish. Since he started working for him, this was the first time Bai Jing got mad at him. Cao Lei, seeing his lover in distress and not seen what could have been his wrongdoing, took the phone and asked what was the matter.

Bai Jing was depressed. The old couple knew a lot about a lot of things, which was the initial reason why he wished to save them. But at the time was also hesitating because of his fear of this exact situation happening. Not that he was ruthless; he still deeply respect the Lin couple but even for them, he wouldn’t have willingly put Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei in harm’s way.

Furthermore, the important was that in this timeline, Xiao San would be by his side. So if the old couple still felt the need to act like national heroes again, at that moment he would seek an adequate shoulder to cry on. Luckily, he was given the chance to teach them a thing or two and with that enlightenment, they might survive by themselves.

However, suddenly stupefied, Bai Jing realised his reluctance to part with this family in any way. Deep down he didn’t want to act unconcerned as if them playing hero was completely unrelated to him. Somehow, it was like the moment the subject was the Lin’s elders, his mind would get crooked. He decided, this time he would make it right in the name of their past self who left him with this most profound impression.

Anyways at this point, there was no turning back. Bai Jing therefore immediately ordered them to drive as fast as possible to pick up Lin Zhefeng and come back to D City.

In his mind Cao Lei wondered but choose not to ask anything. These days the young master has been acting increasingly weird but sincerely, he didn’t feel like figuring that one out.

The old Lin couple were in fact, another strange mystery. Probably because of their long history of cultivating internal strength, the sun of the last days was insufficient to injure them. How could it be that although the air conditioning at their house as crap, they still felt very comfortable? Even now in the car, they look perfectly alright.

Not needing Bai Jing to reminds him of it, Cao Lei speeded up along the road.
