<h4>Chapter 910: Chapter 915: Farewell, Cousin</h4>
"My dad’s not young anymore, he really should have retired a long time ago, but he held on because of past grudges. Now that the misunderstanding between the two families has been resolved, my dad doesn’t want to be an assassin anymore. However, even though he’s retired, the informationwork still exists. After all, he used to be an assassin, and there’s no guarantee that enemies won’te seeking revenge. So, to ensure our safety, my dad kept the channels for assassin intel."
"Not long ago, someone posted a message on the assassin’s internalwork, saying they wanted to hire two assassins to eliminate two targets. Because the targets were Huaxia people, my dad paid extra attention and found out that the photos of the targets were you two, so he sent me to protect you." Ji Beizhao smiled at this point and said, "Actually, my dad was overly worried. With you here, what assassin would dare seed? It’d be like throwing themselves to death."
"I wouldn’t say that, but still, thank you for your effort."
"Hey! What are you doing running all the way here? And, who exactly wants to take your lives?"
"I came searching for family, but ended up being targeted by a guy named Qi Houzhao." Ling Chen said helplessly, "Honestly, I still don’t understand what rtionship he has with the people I’m looking for."
"Qi Houzhao?" Ji Beizhao frowned slightly and said, "I know this guy. Anyone living in this city probably knows him. He’s not easy to deal with, you shing with him could be quite troublesome."
"Never mind that, I’m not someone who fears trouble anyway. Since he dares to provoke me, I might as well see what he’s got."
"Alright then, let’s not talk about this now. Pack up and leave quickly. Your whereabouts have been exposed, and Qi Houzhao won’t give up easily since he didn’t seed the first time. Just stay at my ce for a while; it’s safer there."
"Okay, then I’ll trouble you."
Ji Beizhaoughed and said, "No need to be so polite, don’t forget, we’re family too. Cousin, isn’t that right?"
After retreating from the hotel suite, Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing got into Ji Beizhao’s car, heading straight towards the city center.
Not long after, the three arrived at a residential building.
Getting out of the car, Ling Chen took in the surroundings and couldn’t help but marvel. Assassins are truly cautious, even the ces they choose are so meticulous.
The residential building is located in the city center, surrounded by bustling shopping streets, and its four directions are very essible, ideal for escape. If enemiese, Ji Beizhao and his family could easily flee.
"Come on!"
Ji Beizhao helped with the luggage, leading Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing to the top floor of the residential building.
The residential building seemed quite old, with a total of eight floors and no elevator, only stairs. Ji Beizhao chose the top floor, presumably for better security.
With his father’s financial power, even in an economically developed city, buying a vi would be easy. But, being an assassin, it’s best to keep a low profile even in retirement.
At the eighth-floor door, before Ji Beizhao could knock, the door opened from inside.
Seeing Nanrong Zhengqing after a long time, Ling Chen greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle." Nanrong Wanqing called sweetly.
Nanrong Zhengqing nodded with a smile, "Come on in."
Ji Beizhao and Nanrong Zhengqing’s house wasn’t big, just over a hundred square meters, with only three rooms, so Nanrong Wanqing and Ling Chen had to share one.
Nanrong Wanqing felt somewhat embarrassed by Ji Beizhao’s arrangement. Everyone knew about her rtionship with Ling Chen, but they weren’t married yet. As a traditionally minded woman, Nanrong Wanqing felt a bit shy.
Ling Chen could see Nanrong Wanqing’s thoughts, and he volunteered, "Beizhao, how about I sleep in the living room?"
"Why?" Ji Beizhao looked at Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing with yful eyes, saying, "Aren’t you living together already? Still want separate beds?"
After pausing, not waiting for Ling Chen to exin, Ji Beizhao continued, "You’re going to get married sooner orter, no need to feel embarrassed. Alright, let’s leave it like this. I’m going out to help Dad prepare dinner." With that, Ji Beizhao walked out, closing the bedroom door behind him.
Cough!
Ling Chen coughed lightly and said, "How about... I sleep on the floor?"
Nanrong Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, her face reddening, "This bed is big enough." If it were just the two of them, Nanrong Wanqing wouldn’t mind sharing a bed with Ling Chen, but at her uncle’s house, she felt somewhat constrained.

After tidying up a bit, Ling Chen walked out of the bedroom alone, seeing Nanrong Zhengqing and Ji Beizhao busy in the kitchen.
To wee their esteemed guests, Nanrong Zhengqing bought a lot of groceries, filling the kitchen with tantalizing aromas.
Ling Chen leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching Nanrong Zhengqing’s skillful moves and couldn’t help but smile.
"What are you smiling at?" Nanrong Zhengqing looked back at Ling Chen.
"Nothing, it’s just hard to believe. A renowned Snake King, ranked tenth among assassins worldwide, now cooking in the kitchen. It’s truly unimaginable."
"This is called living. Don’tugh at me, you’ll be just like me someday."
"How is retirement life?"
Nanrong Zhengqing smiled and said, "Pretty good. I’ve been an assassin for decades and got tired of it. Now being able to live a peaceful life with my son is already a rare thing for an assassin."
"That’s true." Ling Chen smiled slightly, "When Beizhao eventually gets a wife and has a grandson, you can truly enjoy your twilight years."
"I sure hope so, but this kid isn’t putting in the effort. He doesn’t even have a female friend right now."
Ji Beizhao said helplessly, "Dad, I’m still young. Why are you in such a hurry for me to get married? I still want to achieve something big."
"First establish a family, then a career, you’re over twenty, think for yourself, and you should consider me too. When you’re out pursuing your career, who will keep mepany at home?"
"Dad, you’re still young too, how about finding someone yourself? I know some good matchmaking agencies, I can submit your profile and see if there’s anyone suitable... Ow! Dad, why did you hit me."
"You brat, I’m advising you to get married, but you’re turning it around and introducing someone to me? I think your skin itches."
Watching them banter, Ling Chen’s lips curled up slightly, feeling a bit envious. If possible, he too wanted to experience a father’s care.
Unfortunately, Ling Kun is still in aa, lying at Su He’s ce, and who knows when they’ll reunite.
