Chapter 1076: 750 chess pieces (Thanks for the tip!)

"Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Fang Qing closed the door.

Capital City.

Jiang Chen, who was on the other end of the phone, obviously heard Fang Qing’s voice and fell into an even deeper silence.

Soon after, his phone rang again, it was Qing Mei who was traveling abroad for the first time.

Jiang Chen switched calls, curiously asking, "How did you find out?"

"First time meeting me?"

Faced with Qing Mei’s counter-question, Jiang Chen was instantly at a loss for words.

Indeed.

As she grew older, Fang Qing seemed much gentler now, but her lively and clever nature as a child had caused him quite some trouble.

Not to mention that she studied law, unlike the foolish and naive female protagonists in TV dramas.

Of course.

The quick exposure probably had something to do with a bit of "negligence at work."

After all, it was a protection mission, mentally one might be more relaxed and not as vigilant in concealment.

It seems deductions will be made.

"I noticed someone was following me when I left the airport."

Fang Qing, with her sharp observational skills, added an explanation, "Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I even called the police."

"You called the police?"

"I’m now overseas, being followed by unknown people, what would you do in my place? Or maybe you can teach me?"

Despite having both grown up, it seemed like Comrade Jiang Chen, who had become much more articulate, was still no match for the other party.

"You rarely go abroad with Uncle Fang and the others, I didn’t want to spoil your mood."

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"You think my mood hasn’t been spoiled now?"

Once again, Jiang Chen had no reply, "What about Uncle Fang and the others? Do they know too?"

Fang Qing sat down on the sofa, "No, I lied to them."

In keeping the matter from Fang Weiguo and his wife, the two unexpectedly and tacitly agreed.

"As long as they don’t know, that’s good."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "This is their first time going abroad in their lives, they should be able to travel happily."

Fang Qing was silent for a while, then asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing happened."

Jiang Chen replied lightheartedly.

"Nothing happened, and you went through all this trouble? Even arranging for people to protect us overseas?"

One had to admit.

Fang Qing was indeed very intelligent.

But sometimes, being too smart isn’t a good thing.

"Better safe than sorry."

Jiang Chen said nonchalantly, "Abroad is different from home, I’ve been there; public safety really isn’t that stable, and the police aren’t always reliable."

"Don’t give me that."

Fang Qing pressed, "What exactly happened?"

They knew each other too well, and she could tell he was avoiding the main issue.

Public safety might not be great overseas, but it definitely wasn’t so bad that you’d encounter danger everywhere, especially here in Italy, far from the no-go zones of northern Mythania.

Seeing that he couldn’t dodge the issue, Jiang Chen cleared his throat and could only say, "Really, it’s nothing, I’m just being cautious."

"What kind of caution."

Fang Qing didn’t give him a little chance to beat around the bush.

Jiang Chen was quiet for a moment.

"I have no other intentions, and I certainly haven’t..."

He tried to lay the groundwork, but Fang Qing interrupted him, "Just speak plainly, international calls aren’t cheap."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile, then he got straight to the point, "It’s about that issue with the Fang Family. Even though Ding He was sentenced, the Fang Family might not let things go. I’m happy that Aunt Pan won the lottery, but don’t you find the timing a bit too coincidental?"

Fang Qing quickly understood, "Are you saying the Fang Family arranged this?"

"I’m not certain, maybe, but more likely not."

Jiang Chen replied cautiously.

Without any evidence, one could only make subjective judgments.

Maybe it is that coincidental.

But what if?

Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, once something happens, it is one hundred percent, and the consequences are unbearable.

Just as he had said before.

Only by being prepared can one avoid misfortune.

Being cautious always does more good than harm.

"Do I, just an ordinary citizen, really need this much trouble for protection?"

Fang Qing said softly,

She didn’t think Jiang Chen was exaggerating or fearmongering.

The means of that privileged class are beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

"Tailoring" a so-called grand prize could be effortless for them.

"Who said you’re just an ordinary citizen, you are now a pioneer of the law, a social elite."

Jiang Chen teased, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere for her.

Fang Qing didn’t respond.

"Just pretend you don’t know anything, enjoy your trip with Uncle Fang as planned, without any impact. Maybe I’m just worried over nothing."

"Thank you for the trouble."

"..."

Jiang Chen laughed, blurting out, "Family doesn’t keep score."

"Who’s family with you."

In the past, Fang Qing would have bickered with him, but unexpectedly, she hung up the phone right after speaking.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and could only put down his phone.

If it were a real man, he would face a bright and open confrontation, and he was ready for battle.

Just don’t skulk in the shadows, stabbing with hidden knives or shooting cold arrows.

Mediterranean.

Sicily.

The airport where the Fang family landed.

Several men with black hair and yellow skin came out, but unlike Fang Qing’s family, they didn’t look like they were here for tourism. They didn’t carry any luggage, and there was a discomforting murderous air about them.

The man in the lead had his right hand hanging unusually low, as if lacking strength, swinging naturally as he walked.

"Sicily, I’ve only seen this place in movies, this trip is like fulfilling a dream."
