Chapter 213: Elite Escort Agency, Talented Escort Agency

~8 min read 1,460 words

Come here!

Gu Sanhe made a quick decision and immediately summoned the chamber of commerce staff,

"Pass on my command: all members, pack up the chamber of commerce's goods and prepare to withdraw from Han Shan Cheng!"

The staff still didn't know what had happened, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Chairman, there are still many customers in the shop picking out goods……"

Gu Sanhe furrowed his brows and spoke in a low voice,

"If they've already picked out the goods, give them whatever discount they can and finish the transaction as soon as possible."

"At the same time, send someone to hang the sign outside the door: today's business is over!"

With Gu Sanhe's instructions, the members of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce immediately sprang into action.

Most chamber of commerce members had storage bags, so even if they needed to be careful not to break bottles and jars,

Tidying up the whole shop would take only about the time to finish a cup of tea.

Gu Pan looked worriedly at Gu Sanhe,

"Uncle Sanhe, Ninth Elder and Brother Qianyue haven't returned yet; if we leave now, what will happen to them?"

After Gu Sanhe finished listening to Gu Lin's narration,

He had already guessed that Ninth Elder and Gu Qianyue were very likely captured.

But the Gu Family's garrison in Han Shan Cheng, even counting Ninth Elder, had only two Martial Ancestors!

This was only because the Gu Family valued Gu Han highly and had sent extra personnel!

Even if the entire Gu Family Chamber of Commerce were mobilized, with Ninth Elder captured,

Facing the He Family, it would undoubtedly be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

Moreover, another Elder of the Gu Family had gone to a banquet early this morning and still hasn't returned!

Their Gu Family couldn't muster even a single Martial Ancestor's worth of fighting strength right now!

Gu Sanhe must take responsibility for the chamber of commerce staff; he can't lead everyone into doing something foolish!

"We must return to Wu Shan Cheng and then discuss further plans."

Gu Sanhe took a deep breath, feeling equally reluctant in his heart,

"The situation here is not something I can decide."

Gu Lin and the others knew that Gu Sanhe was doing this for the sake of the bigger picture.

Even if they were unwilling, they could only obey Gu Sanhe's decision.

At that moment, they suddenly thought of Gu Han.

If Gu Han were currently in Han Shan Cheng, things probably wouldn't have come to this pass, right?

Just then, Di Ying rushed back to the Gu Family's garrison.

Moreover, he was holding the He Family's Seventh Elder, who had already fainted!

Gu Sanhe didn't know Di Ying, but after Wang Keyan's introduction, his face immediately lit up with joy,

"With Senior Di Ying's help, plus the He Family Elder and He Qing as two hostages, we also have some leeway to negotiate with the He Family!"

The addition of a Martial Ancestor is absolutely a tremendous boost for the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce at this moment!

"No matter what, as long as we have these two people in our hands, the safety of Ninth Elder and Gu Qianyue is guaranteed!"

As long as the He Family's leader doesn't act foolishly, they won't kill Gu Linshan and Gu Qianyue in a fit of anger!

The Gu Family Chamber of Commerce staff quickly finished packing, and a crowd of them hurried toward the nearest city gate.

Hope the He Family's moves aren't that fast.

Fortunately, the He Family Head, He Qintian, wasn't in the mansion to begin with.

And the He Family Elder's influence in Han Shan Cheng is obviously not as great as He Qintian's.

Even if they had guessed that the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce staff would withdraw from Han Shan Cheng right away,

He Qinyun immediately gave the order to seal the city gate, not letting the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce staff leave!

At the same time, he launched the city patrol, determined to dig three feet deep if necessary to root out every member of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce!

The He Family indeed had many people serving in key positions in Han Shan Cheng's city patrol and city guard.

But they didn't expect that the other five great families of Han Shan Cheng had already made up their minds to watch the He Family make a fool of itself!

They had long been in collusion, deliberately tripping up the He Family!

This also led to the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce staff easily evading the city patrol's capture and arriving at the city gate.

But seeing the tightly guarded city gate, Gu Sanhe and the others couldn't help but furrow their brows.

"The He Family obviously already had preparations; we're probably unable to leave the city normally."

Gu Lin thought for a moment and spoke in a low voice,

"How about I and Gu Jing go set fires around to draw the city guard away, and you seize the chance to escape!"

Upon hearing that, Gu Sanhe immediately shook his head,

"No way, the He Family surely has contingency plans for these things."

"Even if you go set fires, the nearby city patrol will come to put them out."

"Then what should we do? Are we just supposed to watch helplessly as the city patrol gradually squeezes our hiding space?"

Just then, Di Ying suddenly said with a smile,

"Everyone, don't worry; our people have arrived."

In Gu Sanhe's doubtful gaze, an escort team came walking from the distant street toward the direction they were evading.

They seemed to be escorting extremely important cargo, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Gu Sanhe noticed that even if the city patrol encountered this team, they had no intention of inspecting them at all.

Instead, they directly let the escort team walk over.

The leader of the escort team was, surprisingly, a tall and slender woman.

"Di Ying, I've brought the team you wanted; this time you owe me a favor. Look at our matter..."

Di Ying gave the woman a faint smile, directly cutting off her words halfway.

"Dai Jing, thank you."

"What are you staring at? Hurry and hide inside!"

After Di Ying nodded at Dai Jing, he immediately had the escort team open the boxes.

Only then did Gu Sanhe discover that the boxes in the escort team were actually all empty!

He quickly ordered, and the people of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce hurriedly hid inside the boxes.

Meanwhile, Dai Jing's gaze toward Di Ying carried a hint of resentment.

"Because of your brother's matter, you alone bear a deep grudge as vast as a sea of blood."

"You've been gone for so many years, yet you never came back to see me even once."

"Now that your brother's grudge has been avenged, how long must we keep delaying our affair?"

Faced with Dai Jing's step-by-step pressure, Di Ying also let out a helpless sigh.

He had not returned to the escort bureau for all these years, and Dai Jing had waited for him all this time without marrying.

Even so, no matter what request he made, even if Dai Jing hesitated, she would ultimately agree.

In public, Dai Jing is the aloof elite chief of the escort bureau.

Only in front of him does she seem like a true woman.

As for this, how could Di Ying not know?

Indeed, Dai Jing also resides in his heart.

But he is afraid.

Afraid that one day in the future he might lose Dai Jing just as he lost his brother!

"Dai Jing, you understand me."

Di Ying let out a long sigh and spoke in a low voice,

"I now have both sons and daughters at my knees..."

"I don't care."

Dai Jing stared at Di Ying with a blazing gaze,

"Let's not discuss whether Di Kai and Keyan are not your biological children; even if they were, I still wouldn't care."

"What I care about is only you."

Di Ying dared not meet Dai Jing's gaze,

"Give me three days to consider; after three days, I will give you an answer."

"Fine, not just three days—I would wait even three months, three years for you!"

Dai Jing's eyes lit up, as if fearing Di Ying might change his mind, and she immediately agreed.

She knew, Di Ying is different from his brother.

Over these past decades, nearly all of Di Ying's energy has been devoted to honing his martial skills.

To get Di Ying to relent is, for her, already a great joy!

In the midst of their conversation, the escort team had already arrived at the city gate.
