Chapter 405: Won't you agree?

405. Chapter 405: Won't you agree?

Senior Gao, I understand what you mean.

Jiang Cheng also showed a troubled expression.

"It's not just me; my family also wants to go out and have a look. After all, we've been here for several months already. The community environment is nice, but staying too long gets boring, right? Moreover, it's been so long that Gu Zhangjun's side has probably already relaxed. If we go out and are careful, we shouldn't be discovered."

Gao Ling still furrowed his brow.

He did not want Jiang Cheng to go out, because that would create some variables.

But what Jiang Cheng said is also human nature.

It's like the other residents of the community: aside from having to register when they go out, there are no other requirements.

"Senior Gao, if you're really uneasy, you can also bring people along with us."

Jiang Cheng added: "On one hand, to act as our guide, since we've just arrived and aren't familiar with some places here; on the other hand, if we really encounter any danger, having you take action would make the possibility of an accident not great."

Hearing this, Gao Ling's tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed a little.

Then he let out a sigh.

"Junior brother, I understand your feelings, but this kind of thing, even I can't decide. How about this: after I go back later, I'll contact Changlin and see what he says?"

"Okay."

Jiang Cheng let out a breath and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Gao. This period of alchemy has taken too long; every day we enter the alchemy room at dawn and don't leave until ten or eleven at night, which is really mentally exhausting."

"I understand, I understand."

Whether out of guilt or embarrassment, Gao Ling agreed rather hastily.

"Junior brother, rest assured, I will definitely speak well for you with Changlin; if nothing unexpected happens, he should agree."

"That would be great. By the way, senior brother, these are the places we want to visit; you can pass them along to Elder Changlin to have a look. I've seen online that if you don't go to these places, coming to Dongfang City would be in vain."

Jiang Cheng handed over the travel plan he had prepared in advance to the latter.

Gao Ling took it and had a look.

These places are indeed distinctive spots in the Inner City District.

Some people from other cities, upon arriving in Dongfang City, also go to visit them.

He scratched his head and could only agree for now.

After returning to the office, he immediately contacted Gu Zhanglin and relayed what had just happened.

"Oh?"

Gu Zhanglin's eyes flashed with suspicion: "Have you noticed his expression? Is he really just wanting to take his family out for a walk, or does he want to use this chance to run away?"

"It should be the former."

Gao Ling thought carefully and said: "Looking at him, he does seem somewhat tired, and he also said he hopes we send someone to accompany him. Besides, Changlin, I sent people to probe him a couple days ago, and he basically has no intention of leaving us. Even if he really wanted to leave, where could he go?"

"Still, we can't be careless."

Gu Zhanglin shook his head.

"We can't rule out that someone from another family secretly contacted him and tried to poach him."

Gao Ling fell silent for a moment, then said: "So you mean, we shouldn't agree?"

"We still have to agree."

Gu Zhanglin thought for a while and said: "Just the people accompanying him need to be carefully selected and have some ability. Forget it, I'll find a time to personally accompany him."

"Ah?"

Gao Ling opened his mouth wide: "Changlin, why don't I go instead? Your time is so precious."

"It's fine."

Gu Zhanglin shook his head.

He can afford to overlook others, but with Jiang Cheng he must be taken seriously. This time, by personally accompanying him, he can both minimize risk and win people's hearts.

After all, if it were him in Jiang Cheng's position, learning these things would surely move him deeply.

"Alright, then I'll let him know later. By the way, Changlin, when do you plan to take them out?"

"Just tomorrow."

Gu Zhanglin pondered for a moment and then said.

After ending the communication, there was also a hint of worry in his eyes.

After all, anything could happen.

But during this period, Jiang Cheng has behaved very obediently, with nothing amiss.

Thinking of this, his worry lessened a bit.

Moreover, tomorrow he will still personally accompany them.

On the contrary, if he didn't agree, Jiang Cheng would surely have objections; although he isn't afraid of this, he also doesn't want to strain their relationship before the final moment.

Soon, Jiang Cheng received Gao Ling's phone call.

"Junior brother, good news! Changlin has already agreed to take you and your family out tomorrow for a stroll, and he'll go with you himself."

Gao Ling sighed: "Changlin treats you really well; only you could make him set aside time specially. If it were anyone else, heh."

"Really? That's wonderful."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly thanked him.

"I'm really sorry to trouble Elder Changlin."

"It's no problem; he's also doing it for your safety, worried that if you encounter danger while out, the people accompanying you might not be careful."

Gao Ling laughed heartily.

"Junior brother, tomorrow take your family out to have fun, relax your mood; when you return, focus on your alchemy again, and after a while go out for another stroll—balancing life and work."

"What you said makes sense, senior brother; rest assured, when I return I'll definitely work harder at alchemy, striving to pay off the loan as soon as possible."

Jiang Cheng assured.

"Hahaha, old brother, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself; that loan can be repaid slowly, and no one is urging you."

Gao Ling gave a dry laugh twice.

I don't know what kind of reaction Jiang Cheng will have after learning the truth.

However, once his spiritual power reaches the Grandmaster level, it won't take long.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng walked out of the room and gathered his family in the living room.

Upon hearing that they would go out to play tomorrow, Chen Sao and Lin Yue both showed smiles, especially Lin Yue, who had said more than once that she wanted to go out and see, but had always been refused.

Old Man also smiled on her face; she wasn't particularly curious about the outside world, and even rarely went downstairs.

But seeing others happy, she also became happy.

"Jiang Cheng bro, do you need to prepare anything?"

Lin Yue asked curiously.

"No need."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "You can bring some water to drink on the way, but it's fine if you don't; going empty-handed is also okay."

If you bring luggage or the like, it's hard not to raise suspicion.

Moreover, tomorrow he genuinely wants to take his family out for a stroll, to see the scenery of the Inner City District, and leave behind an unforgettable memory.

Because he still wants another opportunity like this, he doesn't know when it will be. (End of chapter)
