Chapter 876: Chapter 876: All Going to L City

Yan Guofeng thought it made sense too; his parents were old and didn’t need to run around, so he nodded.

He also wanted to solve this matter. Whether or not they could save Yan Guowei, they had to try. Giving it their best shot, even if they failed, would leave them with a clear conscience.

Once Yan Guofeng agreed, Jiangli asked Xia Xin to pack things and get ready for the trip.

Only then did Xia Xin understand what Jiangli meant when he said yesterday that he would be busy for the next few days.

He nodded and quickly went out to pack his things.

Jiangli then instructed Fu’er to clean up the empty house in the back and have Yan Sanqiang and his wife temporarily stay there.

As for Yan Guowei, leave him in the side hall and don’t move him.

Fu’er agreed.

Jiangli thought for a second and added, "We’ll try to come back within three days. If we’re not back within three days, make sure to keep Yan Guowei alive, don’t let him really die."

This was a small matter for Fu’er. He didn’t even think about it before nodding in agreement.

After giving his instructions, Jiangli was waiting for Xia Xin to finish packing when his phone suddenly rang.

Jiangli looked at the phone on the table; it was a call from Fu Shiyan.

Jiangli raised an eyebrow. Why was Fu Shiyan calling at this time?

With a swipe of his finger, Jiangli answered the call, "Hello, President Fu?"

Fu Shiyan’s voice came through the phone with a bit of static, making Jiangli feel like the phone was vibrating.

"Lili, sorry."

Hearing him start like this, Jiangli was slightly surprised, "Why is President Fu saying this?"

Fu Shiyan chuckled helplessly, "I was planning to take you out for a meal today, but something urgent came up, and I have to go to L City on a business trip. I can only apologize to you, Lili."

Jiangli was even more surprised, "President Fu is going on a business trip to L City?"

Fu Shiyan replied, "Yes, something urgent came up, and I’ve been summoned last minute. I might be gone for three to five days. I’ll try to come back early to spend time with you."

Jiangli: "..."

It wasn’t necessary to say it like that.

Jiangli instinctively ignored the last part of Fu Shiyan’s sentence and focused on the first part, speaking with a hidden meaning, "President Fu, that’s quite a coincidence. I am also set to depart for L City today."

She had just confirmed her trip to L City today, and then Fu Shiyan called to say he was going there too. Could it really be such a coincidence?

But...

Fu Shiyan wasn’t part of Xuanmen.

Even if Fu Shiyan’s aide, Qing Yue, had some abilities, he couldn’t predict the future.

At least, Qing Yue couldn’t foresee her fate.

So the fact that both Fu Shiyan and she were going to L City, could it really just be a coincidence?

"Lili is also going to L City?"

Amidst Jiangli’s tumbling thoughts, Fu Shiyan’s surprised voice came through, as if he also found it too coincidental, "Is it really such a coincidence? Why the sudden trip to L City, Lili?"

It sounded like he was also questioning her reason for going to L City.

Jiangli’s suspicions eased a bit and she replied, "An unexpected job came up, requiring a visit to L City. I really didn’t expect President Fu to go there too. I honestly didn’t plan this, President Fu."

She laughed lightly, emphasizing her point.

Fu Shiyan laughed as well, "If Lili was that thoughtful, it would actually be a good thing."

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, what did he mean by that?

Fu Shiyan added, "My trip to L City was also decided last minute. I have no means of predicting where you’ll be going, Lili. Please don’t overthink it."

Jiangli found Fu Shiyan’s explanation reasonable.

Whether or not it was a coincidence didn’t really matter to Jiangli.

Jiangli said, "There are many coincidences in the world, President Fu. You don’t need to dwell on it."

Fu Shiyan gave a faint smile, "As long as you don’t overthink it, Lili. When are you leaving? Since we’re both going to L City, why don’t we travel together?"

Jiangli wanted to refuse.

But thinking about Fu Shiyan’s luck...

It might come in handy.
