Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 693 - 689: No Longer Bothering the Elders

————-

Xie Jingchen took advantage of his wife’s nap to discuss with Hu Zhengjie and Yan Jinchang. They concluded that while the enemy was hidden and they were exposed, their target was clearly him and his wife. Therefore, when he took his wife out today, the Siheyuan and the car they used would definitely be at risk.

For greater security, Xie Jingchen arranged for Yan Jinhao and Yan Jinchang to personally lead a team to guard the hidden areas of the Siheyuan.

On the other side, Zhu Yilai and Ma Shan continued to track Uncle Shou and Little Ya as mentioned by Xiao Lei, following slim clues. They reached the right place, but found nothing substantial, not even Xie Jingchen, who went there personally, noticed anything amiss, and they returned without success.

The search and rescue mission was stuck, Xie Jingchen furrowed his brow: The enemy was casting a wide net.

Xie Jingchen roughly understood that the ultimate target of the enemy was still underneath Tanning Temple.

That source of poison, unless completely eradicated, the apocalyptic crisis his wife worried about would persist, an unresolved risk, how could he be at peace?!

Xie Jingchen felt helpless, even if he wanted to eliminate that ’Woodworm’, in reality, technology could not yet achieve what his wife had described. Expending massive human and material resources just to destroy something for an inexplicable reason?

If it weren’t for his firm belief in his wife’s words and having experienced many ’incredible’ things with her, he would not have believed that this small vial of Woodworm could plunge the entire planet into a ’death’ state.

The matter of the Woodworm could only continue to be deterred by Tao Nu, but the ’Forget River’ associated with his wife was a big problem, this ’Purple Star Source’ was quite effective, but in Xie Jingchen’s eyes, it was still too slow.

His wife, having lost most of her memory, could only act on ’intuition,’ unable to recall past events, which greatly increased the danger for her.

Just the thought of his wife’s condition made Xie Jingchen feel that the existence of ’Wang Xiuxiu’ deserved nothing less than desecration to vent his anger.

After sorting through each node of matters in his mind, Xie Jingchen finally gave an order and sent a signal to call back all his people in Beijing, to guard the house and protect his two little treasures.

Better safe than sorry.

He now feared that if the enemy noticed their vigilant precautions, they might lose patience and target the children, so no matter what, the children must be very carefully settled.

By the time Xie Jingchen had a moment to return to the backyard, it was already four in the afternoon. Yan Jinsu had woken up, taken a hot shower, and was dining with Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi.

With Sister Gui, Sister Tao, and Chun Mei to help, Yan Jinsu didn’t need to lift a finger to take care of the children; she just needed to eat and watch everyone interact with a smile.

To prevent accidents and reduce the workload of his subordinates, Xie Jingchen had centralized the women and children early on for easier management and protection.

Seeing his wife’s face showing no signs of abnormality, Xie Jingchen’s heart slightly relaxed, and he instantly decided to suppress the words mentioned by his little sister; such accounts would only be settled after his wife gave birth.

Yan Jinsu would certainly call it a muddled mess.

After dinner, Xie Jingchen, dressed in military attire, and Yan Jinsu, heavily pregnant, wore warm, fleeced underwear inside. On top of her husband’s suggestion, she picked a very ordinary sweater from the future in the Space, its length going past her knees, ensuring maximum warmth.

Fortunately, with the arrival of Yan Jinsu, the pace of economic development in the era was accelerated, and foreign goods and luxury items became increasingly popular in Beijing.

The attire of Yan Jinsu, besides giving an impression of having some depth, did not attract too much attention.

Originally, she was extremely nervous, fearing that her clothes were too eye-catching. Only after arriving at the Zhou family did she realize she had thought too much.

Xie Jingchen, accompanying his wife, went to chat leisurely with Zhou Zhenghui after arriving next to his younger sister-in-law. Although he appeared relaxed, he heightened his spiritual power to its peak, constantly aware of his surroundings.

Therefore, when Zhou Guorong appeared with his son and daughter-in-law, Xie Jingchen immediately became alert.

Xie Jingzi, unaware of the significant matters concerning the men, felt relaxed after seeing Third Sister-in-law, no longer fearing the scrutinizing looks of others, as if the arrival of Yan Jinsu was her stabilizing anchor.

The vigilance of Xie Jingchen caused Yan Jinxian, who had just stepped into the banquet hall, to tense up instantly.

However, looking around, she saw nothing amiss. Aware that her reputation was no longer the same, and with her husband’s complexion looking poor, she carefully stayed by her husband’s side: firstly, to avoid the scrutinizing looks of others, and secondly, to support her husband’s frail condition.

Fortunately, the height of the high heels at this time was moderate, not as towering as in the future, and the one-inch heel was still capable of supporting weight properly.

Seeing Yan Jinxian so cautious, Xie Jingchen maintained his heightened spiritual power. If this could scare off her restlessness all the better, but if she still held her own views, he would have to keep a close watch on this dangerous element.

Currently, among the Yan Family guests, Yan Jinsu only saw Yan Dongsheng.

Mr. Yan was in poor health, and considering it was a small gathering among the younger generation and his age and status, he usually would not attend such dinners.

It was Yan Dongsheng who stood next to a strange lady, bearing three-quarters resemblance to him, which made Yan Jinsu instantly deduce that this must definitely be Grandma Wang’s biological daughter.

Seeing such a situation on her biological father’s side, she had no intention to go over and greet them, so as not to let others think that Yan Jinsu was truly coveting the Yan Family’s property!

With her little aunt by her side, she pretended not to see the several influential and senior men at the main seats. After all, her husband was there, and she was just there to gain some life experience.

After all, for a pregnant woman, one can’t ask for too much.

As for Yan Dongsheng representing the Yan family, it was because Yan Jinhao’s twin brothers had been tasked by Xie Jingchen, and for them, no nephews were as important as their own.

Yan Dongsheng’s wife and young son were not in the country, and with the rare return of his younger sister, Yan Dongsheng could not directly refuse the small requests of his stepmother. The stepmother merely wanted him to bring her to recognize people; of course, Yan Dongsheng wouldn’t refuse.

As for his daughter who came the day before yesterday and left without even having lunch after sitting for a while, Yan Dongsheng, having heard his second son’s ’detailed’ report, did not blame the stepmother for insufficient hospitality.

For Yan Dongsheng, his daughter’s actions were all understandable, and the stepmother’s actions were also beyond reproach — no blood relationship, no affection, estrangement and rudeness were not to blame on the elders.

He just decided that from then on, he would no longer trouble the elders with his daughter’s matters.

Still, as someone who had followed the elder for over thirty years, he had to give the due respect.
