Chapter 133 - Adapt to Circumstances (First Update)

Xia Chujian waited for a while, but Huo Yushen still didn't speak, so she had to say dejectedly, "Okay, you see everything clearly, I'm convinced. But what you said just now, is it true?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." After Huo Yushen finished speaking, he turned and left without hesitation.

His tall figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, not even giving Xia Chujian a chance to retort.

It was after she saw his figure disappear that Xia Chujian remembered, what was he doing here?

Also, since Huo Yushen came, as a big shot in the same organization, why didn't he enter through the front door like Zong Ruoan, but instead appeared and disappeared mysteriously at the back door?

However, Xia Chujian didn't pay too much attention to Huo Yushen.

He was a big shot in the Special Security Bureau. If he wanted to go through the front door, he would go through the front door. If he wanted to go through the back door, he would go through the back door. Was it her place to interfere? Besides, the most important thing to pay attention to now was herself, and the personal safety of her and Ping Qiong!

Xia Chujian immediately opened the encrypted Squad Channel on the Quantum Optical Brain and sent a message.

[Xia Chujian]: Just learned that Su Buyu will appear on national media tomorrow night, we must evacuate immediately.

[Ye Shijie]: Received, is the news reliable?

[Xia Chujian]: Very reliable.

[Ye Shijie]: I will contact the Quan Family immediately.

Ye Shijie still trusted Xia Chujian's character. Seeing that she said it was reliable, he didn't ask any more questions. He immediately contacted Quan Yugui through the Quan Family security system.

Quan Yugui didn't know about this news at all, and asked Ye Shijie, "Where did you hear this from?"

Ye Shijie said, "Where I got it from is not important, what's important is, is this news true?"

Quan Yugui immediately used the Quan Family and his personal connections to inquire in Beichen Star.

Five minutes later, he confirmed the news and notified Ye Shijie, "Have your people prepare, I will immediately have the Quan Family's car pick them up and leave."

Ye Shijie breathed a sigh of relief and sent messages to both Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong.

Ping Qiong changed her clothes and came to the hall, only to find that it was full of people. Quan Caiwei and Xia Chujian were nowhere to be found, so she didn't wander around, but stayed in one place eating.

After seeing the Squad Channel message sent by Xia Chujian, she also became nervous.

After they received Ye Shijie's last message, Ping Qiong finally found Xia Chujian.

The two went to see Quan Caiwei together.

At this time, Quan Caiwei and Zong Ruoan were still talking and laughing happily.

Fan Chengqi, Fan Chengcai, and Hui Yinong couldn't squeeze in, and only stood in a circle outside.

The innermost layer was the Fan Family's Patriarch and his wife, the Guiyuan Star Governor and his wife, and the local Noble Family's Patriarch.

Xia Chujian didn't care, swaggered and pushed these people away, and squeezed in with Ping Qiong.

Everyone looked at them in surprise, but soon showed flattering expressions.

"Hello, Ms. Su."

"Ms. Ying, this way please."

Following the path squeezed out by Xia Chujian, Ping Qiong came to Quan Caiwei's side, nodded to Zong Ruoan as a greeting, and then said to Quan Caiwei, "Caiwei, we just received news that we have to go back immediately."

"Ah? So urgent? Is something wrong?" Quan Caiwei also stood up and took Ping Qiong's hand.

Ping Qiong secretly squeezed her hand.

Quan Caiwei knew that something had changed, her mind raced, and she cooperated with Ping Qiong, saying, "So urgent, is Uncle Su asking you to go back?"

Everyone present knew who this "Uncle Su" was. He was the head of the Su Family of the Beichen Empire, and also the Empire's High Priest—Su Yanxing.

They couldn't help but be more respectful to Xia Chujian, this Noble Lady of the Su Family.

Xia Chujian didn't say a word, only made a gesture of communication to Quan Caiwei, and then turned and left.

Quan Caiwei said apologetically to Zong Ruoan, "Young Master Zong, I'll go arrange a car and a starship for them first."

"No problem, please go ahead."

Zong Ruoan came to the Fan Family, of course, not to see Quan Caiwei.

He also didn't know why these "two daughters of the Su Family" came to Guiyuan Star.

But since he had seen her, he still gave Quan Caiwei face.

They were all people in the same circle, and they usually stuck together.

Quan Caiwei led Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong upstairs to where they were staying.

Only then did Xia Chujian quietly speak, telling Quan Caiwei that the real Su Buyu would appear at a grand event tomorrow night.

Quan Caiwei also felt that they could no longer stay using the identities of Su Buyu and Ying Wuxin.

Quan Caiwei said softly, "I'm sorry, you two. I didn't expect Buyu to rarely come out for several years, and she came out just as I borrowed her identity..."

Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong quickly said it was okay.

They just didn't want this identity anymore, it wasn't like they were at their wit's end.

The two of them packed up simply, and followed by the previous servants, they left the Fan Family banquet hall with Quan Caiwei.

Quan Family's luxurious long car, the one that brought them here, was already parked at the door.

Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong got into the luxurious long car and waved goodbye to Quan Caiwei, who was seeing them off.

As soon as these two left, the truly happy people, besides Hui Yinong, were Fan Chengcai.

These past few days, because of those two sudden "bosom friends", these two had absolutely no chance to get close to Quan Caiwei.

Usually, when they said a word, there were two people in between, it was extremely frustrating.

It wasn't that they didn't suspect those two people, but they had no way to verify whether those two were really from the Su Family.

Because the Su Family was too far away for them.

The Quan Family's Third Branch, they could still stand on tiptoe and barely reach the heels of their shoes.

The Su Family was something they currently had no way to reach, no matter what they did.

Of course, if they could form a marriage alliance with the Zong Family and the Quan Family, then the Su Family wouldn't be so far away from them.

But unfortunately, after Quan Caiwei came back, she said that since her friends had left, she also wanted to go home early, so she planned to leave early in the morning on the sixth day.

Today was already the fourth day of Quan Caiwei's stay at the Fan Family.

According to the original plan, she would leave Guiyuan Star early in the morning on the seventh day.

The sixth day was December 31st, which was this year's New Year's Eve, and she was originally going to spend it at the Fan Family Manor.

But that was impossible now.

Tomorrow, the fifth day, had become Quan Caiwei's last day on Guiyuan Star.

On the sixth day, she would leave Da Fu Prefecture of Guiyuan Star and return to Cangge Star, which was the Quan Family's base.

Because of this reason, Fan Chengcai sat next to Quan Caiwei during the dinner, already considering himself her protector.

Zong Ruoan sat on the other side of Quan Caiwei, eating very little and not talking much to Quan Caiwei, but he was still very able to chat with the big shots of Guiyuan Star next to him.

After the meal, Quan Caiwei quickly excused herself and went upstairs to rest.

Hui Yinong wanted to accompany Fan Chengqi, but was dismissed by a look from Fan Chengqi.

She had no choice but to chase after Quan Caiwei's back as she left.

After Quan Caiwei left, the banquet ended not long after.

Everyone came to the Fan Family to attend this banquet entirely for the sake of the Quan Family and the Su Family.

Now that the two Noble Ladies of the Su Family had left, and the Noble Lady of the Quan Family had also left, there was no need for everyone to continue staying at the Fan Family.

Especially since a big shot from the Special Security Bureau had suddenly arrived, and he said it was official business.

In the Beichen Empire, not many people actually liked to deal with people from the Special Security Bureau.

They were so enthusiastic about him all because he was surnamed Zong, and his mother was the Empire's Grand Princess.

Soon, the guests who attended the banquet tonight also bid farewell and left one by one.

By ten o'clock in the evening, everyone in the Fan Family banquet hall had left.

Fan Bowei invited Zong Ruoan to wait in his study, while he went to his sons' villa to ask about the situation.

...

In the small reception room of the villa where Fan Chengqi lived, the father and his two sons were discussing matters nervously.

Fan Bowei only had two sons, Fan Chengqi and Fan Chengcai, and had always placed high hopes on them.

But at this moment, his whole face was drooping.

"Second son, who exactly did you offend in Mulan City? Why is the Special Security Bureau holding on to you so tightly?" Fan Bowei asked with his hands behind his back, glaring at Fan Chengcai, "They raided our villa in Mulan City! Didn't your older brother say it was okay?!"

"Zong Ruoan personally came to me today, and even said it was official business. Is there a problem with the villa in Mulan City?!"

Fan Chengqi still didn't care, and said, "Dad, it really has nothing to do with the villa. Which noble family doesn't have some scandalous affairs? Our privileges are stipulated in the constitution. Don't worry, at most we'll have to pay some money for the things confiscated from Mulan City, nothing will happen."

Fan Chengcai looked regretful and said, "I didn't offend anyone... Isn't it just that broken Dark Night Hunter Association? I took a fancy to one of their Flying Vehicles, so I... wanted to get it back."

"Dark Night Hunters?! You really know how to pick them!" Fan Bowei was naturally more knowledgeable than his two sons, and he knew it was revenge as soon as he heard it.

"Do you know that the first time the Dark Night Hunters took action, they caused twenty-four noble families on Beichen Star to be wiped out?!" Fan Bowei pointed at Fan Chengcai's nose and cursed, "Do you want our family to be wiped out too?!"

"No way?!" The Fan Chengqi and Fan Chengcai brothers were stunned, "Are the Dark Night Hunters so fierce?!"

"What do you think?! They wouldn't cross the river if they weren't fierce! The Dark Night Hunters relied on that night of ruthlessness when they first started more than ten years ago to gain a foothold in the Beichen Empire! How many bounty hunter organizations were there in the Beichen Empire back then? Which bounty hunter organization is still around now? Besides the Dark Night Hunters, which other bounty hunter organization is still around?!"

Fan Bowei was about to bang on the table and stomp his feet.

He hadn't taken Fan Chengcai's affairs in Mulan City to heart, and hadn't even asked about the details, leaving it entirely to his eldest son Fan Chengqi to handle.

In his opinion, wasn't it just hitting an ordinary person? He didn't even kill them.

Besides, it had already been internally reviewed by the Disciplinary Department, so what else was there to do?

It wasn't until the villa in Mulan City was raided, and now a big shot from the Special Security Bureau had come to his house, that he realized something was wrong.

Fan Chengcai's face was pale, and he staggered forward a few steps, then with a plop, he knelt down to Fan Bowei.

"Dad! You must save me! I really didn't know the Dark Night Hunters were so powerful!" He hugged Fan Bowei's leg and wailed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have dared even if you gave me three times the courage!"

Fan Bowei was so angry that he slapped him: "You're so short-sighted! It's just a Flying Vehicle! Don't we have any at home?! We even have interstellar spaceships! You still want to steal?!"

Fan Chengcai hurriedly said, "Dad! That's not an ordinary Flying Vehicle! That's a Flying Vehicle powered by Small-Scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion!"

Fan Bowei and Fan Chengqi said in unison: "Powered by Small-Scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion?!"

Fan Chengcai nodded vigorously, trying to defend himself: "It's not like I'm an unworldly bumpkin, why would I use such methods for an ordinary Flying Vehicle? - It's because that's really a type of Flying Vehicle that's even harder to get than an interstellar spaceship!"

Fan Bowei and his eldest son Fan Chengqi exchanged glances, and both saw understanding and regret in each other's eyes.

The second update will be at one o'clock in the afternoon.
