Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Chapter 229: Departure



"If it's fast, ten days; at most, no more than a month."

"That long?"

Lin Ruoxue fought back tears and managed to show a slight smile:

"Okay, you go, but call me every day to check in, that's all."

"I'll try my best!"

Facing such a simple request from Lin Ruoxue that he couldn't even fulfill made Su Chen feel very guilty, but he had no choice.

What kind of situations might arise, he wasn't clear either.

"Is it dangerous?"

Lin Ruoxue asked this question and felt it was superfluous, but without asking, she always felt uneasy!

"Don't worry!"

Su Chen walked over, took her into his arms, and said:

"I promise you, I'll definitely come back safely to see you!"

"You promise!"

Lin Ruoxue said, looking up at Su Chen.

"I promise!"

Su Chen raised three fingers and swore, telling himself that even if it was for Lin Ruoxue, he must return safely.

"During this time, I'll have Clown come over to stay, you ask Wang's mom to prepare him a guest room tomorrow."

Su Chen said, now he couldn't feel at ease leaving Lin Ruoxue alone, especially since he seemed to have offended quite a few people.

"Is that necessary?!"

Lin Ruoxue was not quite used to having strange men in her home.

"It's necessary, I can't be at ease with you alone, if someone takes advantage of my absence to kidnap my beauty, I'll have nowhere to cry."

Su Chen made a joke to lighten the mood.

"Pfft!"

Lin Ruoxue burst into laughter:

"Don't worry, I won't let them, no one can take me away."

"Okay, I'll ask Wang's mom to get a room ready tomorrow."

"That's my good girl, okay, I'm leaving now."

Su Chen said reluctantly, then kissed Lin Ruoxue's pale and tender forehead gently, this time Lin Ruoxue did not refuse.

After the kiss, Su Chen turned around and left; he didn't take any clothes, much like a traveler.

"Come back early!"

"Okay!"

Then the sound of the door closing with a "bang" echoed, striking Lin Ruoxue's heart as well.

Looking at the empty room, Lin Ruoxue felt somewhat forlorn and a little afraid!

She was afraid that the man who had just walked out wouldn't come back again, having grown accustomed to his presence, even to his faults!

She would rather he tease her every day than go to that place in Africa, especially since what he had to do was definitely very dangerous!

At that moment, two lines of poetry involuntarily popped into her head: "Pity the bones by the riverbank without rest, still the man in the dreams of a maiden's bower."

Lin Ruoxue felt like a wife from the past, waiting for her husband's return from deployment.

Spit spit spit, how could her husband possibly end up buried by the riverbank! He must return triumphant!

"Yes, he definitely will!"

Lin Ruoxue affirmed resolutely in her heart.

"If he comes back safely this time, I, I, will become true husband and wife with him!"

Lin Ruoxue thought so... and then fell asleep on the couch...

......

After leaving, Su Chen first called Clown, telling him to move in tomorrow to protect Lin Ruoxue. Continue reading at empire

Clown understood the protocol, Su Chen didn't tell him what he was up to, and he didn't ask.

However, he insisted on not moving into Lin Ruoxue's villa, since she was his sister-in-law and it wasn't quite proper.

In his words, the car had plenty of space to sleep in, and hadn't he slept blissfully in caves before?

Su Chen just let him be, as it wasn't really a big deal to him.

After finishing the call with the clown, he made another call to Shadow, instructing her to monitor all departures from Canyabi, including flights, trains, and other vehicles.

He also sent a photo of Doctor Gaia to Shadow, telling her to immediately report via encrypted satellite phone if she spotted this person.

However, Su Chen also knew the likelihood was slim; if these people were to leave, they would most likely take the sea route like he did, and it wouldn't be through official means, since it was much safer that way.

If they were discovered via the sky or by land, the Nether Temple wasn't short of rocket launchers and various heavy weapons.

Taking the sea route was different, as any approaching ship on the vast ocean surface would be detected immediately, allowing them to respond calmly.

After the calls, Su Chen drove to Jiangwan City, a city further south of Jianghai, where there were ships that could go directly to the South Sea.

This time, Su Chen's route was to set off from Jiangwan City to the South Sea, then through the Strait of Malacca, and on through the Indian Ocean, which would take him directly to Africa.

The reason he didn't take a plane, or a train, or even a car, was naturally to avoid being tracked.

Moreover, Su Chen planned to avoid official transportation for the entire journey because it was easy to be found through the electronic systems, even if he used a fake name.

Since the enemies had targeted Doctor Gaia and Doctor Hughes, they would certainly pay attention to his movements!

If you ask why Su Chen was so anxious about these two people, it was because they were leading figures in the field of human genetics!

According to Su Chen's estimation, the attack must have been orchestrated by Tang Gang's Skull Society and their backing forces, as Tang Gang alone couldn't possibly have found that location by himself.

And their aim in abducting these two doctors was surely for human genetic modification.

Now, even though Doctor Hughes had already died, Doctor Gaia was still alive!

One could say Doctor Gaia was the most crucial talent in this technology; initially, the research at the Nether Temple had been completed under Doctor Gaia's leadership.

It was only later that Su Chen realized the problems and urgently halted it, then arranged for these two most important talents to be placed in a safe house in Canyabi, Africa, with three Shadow Guards for personal protection.

If they really got hold of Doctor Gaia, it would undoubtedly greatly advance their plan for human genetic modification, which was precisely why Su Chen had to rush there.

Su Chen stopped his car at a dock and then stood there smoking a cigarette while waiting.

Sure enough, before Su Chen finished his cigarette, a person approached.

"Buddy, could I borrow a light?"

It was a man in his thirties, his skin darkened and somewhat dry, possibly from frequently being exposed to sea winds.

At that moment, he had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Su Chen with a scrutinizing gaze.

Su Chen smiled faintly and took out his lighter to light it for him.

The man took a leisurely drag and said,

"Are you looking to head out?"

Su Chen nodded,

"The South Sea, towards the Strait of Malacca."

"Going that way, huh? Well, the cost isn't low, it's thirty thousand."

The man clearly saw that Su Chen's car was nice, so he quoted a higher price than usual. In reality, twenty thousand would have been enough.

He said thirty thousand because haggling was expected; if he met a client who didn't know better and had plenty of money, then he would make a pretty profit.

"I'll give you fifty thousand, but I need to leave immediately!"

Su Chen said casually with a light smile.

The man was clearly taken aback, then said solemnly,

"If you're in such a rush, I need to check!"

Su Chen nodded, understanding that the man was just a middleman.

"Alright. If you can get me there quickly, I can add more!"

"Sure, don't worry. I know all the boats here, as long as the money is right, everything is easy!"

Encountering such a generous client, the man was very enthusiastic and quickly went aside to make a phone call.

About ten minutes later, the man came back.

"Buddy, you're in luck, there's a ship ready to leave now, but it'll cost an extra twenty thousand."

"Okay, that's fine."

For Su Chen, money was never an issue; what mattered was speed!
