120: Chapter 120 Decision 120: Chapter 120 Decision Jiang ixian looked skeptical, her eyes roaming over Chen Hai thoroughly.
It seed like she wanted to make sure that her son was telling the truth about his desire to head to the Capital City early!
Unfortunately, Chen Hai maintained an open and honest deanor throughout, so after a long look, Jiang ixian couldn’t spot any signs of deceit.
“Hai, are you really planning to go to the Capital City tomorrow or the day after?”
After a slight hesitation, Jiang ixian spoke up to confirm.
In the past, when she thought her son had flunked his college entrance exams and hadn’t gotten into college, Chen Hai had often mingled with Sun Jinzhong.
Back then, she didn’t interfere much.
But now, knowing that her son was about to beco a college student, her thoughts had changed sowhat.
Of course, it wasn’t that Jiang ixian looked down on her cousin’s son, Sun Jinzhong.
She rely felt that her son and her cousin’s son were no longer from the sa world and didn’t want them hanging out together often.
“Mom, why would I lie to you about this?”
“From our place to the Capital City, you have to transfer several tis.
Just taking the train takes a day or two!”
“I’m leaving a week early because, aside from the travel ti, there aren’t many days left.”
“The little ti I have, I want to get to know the surroundings of the school, and even that feels too short!”
“It’s not just either; all the students in our school who got into college, especially those whose colleges are far away, are leaving several days early.”
Smiling at his mother, Chen Hai explained.
Jiang ixian had only ever traveled as far as Liuyuan County in her life.
But she knew that the Capital City was indeed very far from their ho!
Hearing Chen Hai put it that way, she found it reasonable, and after thinking it over, she nodded and said, “Going to college is important; it’s good for you to go early!”
“Once you’ve successfully registered and truly beco a college student, just rember to write a letter to let us know at ho!”
Seeing his mother Jiang ixian nod in agreent, Chen Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He said with a smile, “Mom, you don’t need to worry about letters, I bought a pager recently.”
“In a mont, I’ll give you my pager number.
If you need to contact , just go to any shop with a public phone and page !”
“If you don’t know how to use it, you can always ask the shop owner…”
Taking out the pager he always kept in his pocket, Chen Hai showed it to his mother.
“Can such a tiny thing be used as a phone?” Jiang ixian asked with a face full of surprise.
“It’s not for making calls.
You page , and it will display your phone number here, then I can call you back,” Chen Hai explained patiently to his mother.
“It just displays the phone number?
I see!”
“I got scared for a mont, thinking such a little gadget could actually make calls!”
“When did you buy this?
This pager mustn’t be cheap, tell truthfully, did it cost one hundred yuan?”
After roughly understanding the function of the pager, Jiang ixian began to mutter.
“Roughly,” Chen Hai replied vaguely.
He really didn’t dare to tell the full truth; if his mother knew that such a small pager cost almost as much as their ho TV, she’d probably lose her appetite for days.
“Mom, I’m going to check on Brother Zhong.
He ca over with a head injury to congratulate personally, I definitely need to chat with him for a bit!”
Sun Jinzhong was still waiting in the room for his response, and Chen Hai naturally wouldn’t leave him hanging.
“Alright, go ahead!” Jiang ixian nodded and then reminded Chen Hai, “If he asks you to get involved in a fight, you mustn’t go, understand?”
“Okay!” Chen Hai nodded and casually agreed.
Inside the room, Sun Jinzhong paced back and forth.
He indeed had a Wang Ba Box in his hand.
But the thought of facing those who knocked him unconscious and robbed him all by himself filled him with trepidation, not quite mustering the courage.
After all, he was experienced in fighting, but it was always group against group.
In such scenarios, overwheld with adrenaline, he naturally felt fearless.
But now, he would likely be facing desperate criminals outnumbering him three to one.
If Chen Hai could join him in Liuyuan County, it would be ideal; otherwise, he’d have to rally his friends to help.
“How about it, cousin?
Did auntie allow you to co to Liuyuan County?”
As soon as Chen Hai entered the room, Sun Jinzhong quickly approached.
“You, being notoriously troubleso among relatives, made my mom worry I might pick up bad habits from you!”
Giving Sun Jinzhong a roll of eyes, Chen Hai sighed and continued, “With you turning up at my house like this, my mom thought you were beaten up and wanted to help you fight!”
“With those thoughts, how could she let go to Liuyuan with you!”
“Well then!
I’ll just have to call so guys to join at Longevity Bridge,” sighed Sun Jinzhong, looking disappointed.
“Don’t call anyone, stay put without making trouble and alerting them while I’m gone!”
Chen Hai glanced at him sharply and added, “I told my mom I’m heading to the Capital City early for school.
You go back to Liuyuan, and wait for at the station tomorrow noon!”
“Who knows if those who robbed you have weapons?”
“These people dared to rob openly during the day; they’d definitely dare to engage in violent cris.”
“Don’t think just because you have the Wang Ba Box, you’ve got them all handled.”
“If you gather your pals to catch them, one wrong move could cost you your life!”
“Rember, you absolutely cannot act rashly before we et up!”
These words left Sun Jinzhong speechless.
Military tactics say: know yourself and your opponent, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Chen Hai himself could perform soul departure, although his Divine Soul couldn’t interact with physical matter, and at most could only scare those n without inflicting much harm.
But with Chen Hai locating their whereabouts, capturing them with Sun Jinzhong would ensure maximum safety.
“Alright, cousin, I’ll go back first.
Tomorrow, when you arrive, we’ll et up and head to Longevity Bridge together!”
Hanging his head, Sun Jinzhong nodded in response.
