66: Haven’t you heard that there is always a way out?
Opening his eyes, Chen Beixuan immediately checked his body for changes.
This check was significant.
He actually felt his blood and qi surging throughout his body, an indescribable heat.
It was like when he was young and full of vigor, wearing only a single layer of clothing even in the depths of winter.
Elderly people often feel cold, so He dressed very warmly.
He threw off the covers and took off his fleece top and pants, only then did He feel better.
The increase in his Life Points restored his blood and qi to his youth, or even stronger.
Even the discomfort caused by his previous heart condition disappeared, and his heart beat powerfully.
"I'm going to revert to my youth..."
Chen Beixuan was somewhat excited, almost crying.
No one wants to die if they can live.
No one wants to be old if they can be young.
Isn't it true that Heaven always leaves a way out!
He had no choice before, but now the path was right before him!
...
It was already late autumn in Morning Wind City in October.
There was an artificial lake in the villa area, its surface rippling slightly.
People who were out for their morning exercise were already wearing single layers of clothing, walking along the path around the lake.
Chen Beixuan was uncomfortably hot, so He simply got on his electric wheelchair and went for a spin by the lake.
The electric wheelchair's speed was not slow, with multiple gears that could be adjusted.
He hadn't had a good chance to practice controlling it since He bought it.
After getting familiar with the low gear, He began to increase his speed.
The gentle breeze brushed against his cheeks, feeling as if He was running...
He overtook one pedestrian after another, and the feeling of heat gradually receded.
But just then,
A strong man caught up from behind, passing him without even looking back.
He raised an eyebrow.
Running so fast?
His speed was already at 20 yards, yet the man could still pass him.
Was he a professional athlete?
It seemed curiosity got the better of him, and He sped up to follow behind the man.
After another lap, the man finally stopped, turning to look at him with a wry smile.
"I say, Grandpa Chen, are you going to overtake me or not? You're making me feel all uneasy."
The man was drenched in sweat, but his face held an indescribable weariness.
When Chen Beixuan saw his face, He suddenly froze.
"Overtake... cough, no, not overtake, I just wanted to see how long you could keep it up. You have good physical fitness..."
He quickly reacted, hastily changing his words and chuckling.
But in his heart, He was greatly surprised.
He was now certain that the man in front of him was the Super Dad from the game!
Apparently, the man hadn't altered his appearance when entering the game.
As for him, He had changed so much that even Chen Fan wouldn't recognize him, let alone anyone else.
Plus, with him in a wheelchair, it was even more impossible for anyone to recognize him.
Hearing his words, Gao Cheng smiled helplessly.
"I could originally run another lap, but with you chasing me like that, one lap was enough to make me sweat profusely."
As He spoke, He even wiped a hand across his forehead and flicked the sweat off for Chen Beixuan to see.
"That's called having pressure to have motivation, right? Looking at your physique... were you a soldier?"
Chen Beixuan smiled and changed the subject, asking subtly.
"Those are old stories, no need to mention them."
Gao Cheng used a roadside trash can to stretch his leg muscles.
"Being a soldier is good. When you come back, the local government assigns you a job. By the way, what position were you assigned?"
Chen Beixuan also made chest-expanding exercises in a similar fashion.
"I didn't choose an assignment. I chose to take the demobilization payment at the time. Now I work as a bodyguard."
Speaking of this, Gao Cheng fell into a reverie, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes inadvertently.
Then He took his leg off the trash can and bid farewell to Chen Beixuan.
"You keep exercising, Grandpa Chen. I should head back. We can chat again if there's a chance."
"Alright, you go ahead and do your thing."
Chen Beixuan watched the other person leave, shaking his head self-deprecatingly.
"I must have overthought it..."
How high was the probability of two people meeting in the same city?
It wasn't his fault for overthinking.
Asking a couple of questions to gauge the situation could also put his mind at ease...
...
Ding-dong—
"Grandpa Chen! Are you home! Auntie, I've brought her over for you."
Not long after breakfast.
Xiao Yu brought the housekeeper auntie and rang the villa doorbell.
"Coming, coming—"
Xiao Lu hopped and skipped to open the door, Chen Beixuan followed behind her, smiling.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Click—
The door opened.
The tall and thin Wang Yu stood at the doorway, smiling.
Beside him stood a woman around 35 years old, dressed simply but with an elegant demeanor.
Her appearance was ordinary, the type that grew on you, her hair was neatly tied up, and she had a kind smile.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Zhou Xiuya. You can just call me Xiuya."
She smiled brightly and extended her hand generously.
Chen Beixuan secretly nodded, his first impression of her was very good.
Her smiling appearance reminded him unconsciously of his mother in his previous life.
"Xiao Yu told you about my situation, right? If possible, I hope you can move in today."
He reached out and gently shook her hand, then asked with a smile.
Zhou Xiuya nodded with a smile.
"He told me everything. I have no problem, I can start working anytime."
"Good. You don't need to be too formal. Besides cleaning and cooking, you can arrange your own time."
Chen Beixuan immediately made the decision.
Zhou Xiuya bent down and smiled at Xiao Lu.
"Are you Xiao Lu? You're so cute."
Xiao Lu's little face instantly turned red, too shy to speak.
She could only grab Grandpa Chen's sleeve and hop around, occasionally stealing a glance at the new auntie.
The three of them couldn't help but laugh heartily at the sight, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Through their conversation, they learned that Zhou Xiuya's husband had passed away, and she had a 13-year-old son in junior high school.
Her family's situation was originally quite good, but later, in order to treat her parents' illnesses, they exhausted their savings.
In the end, her parents couldn't be saved, and it wasn't easy for her to raise her child on her own.
Now that her child was in junior high and older, she came out to work alone to earn money.
After hearing her story, Chen Beixuan was completely at ease.
At least her character was not an issue.
Zhou Xiuya didn't bring many things to Morning Wind City, so she moved into the villa before noon.
And at noon, she cooked a lavish meal for the grandfather and granddaughter.
Braised pork, Coke chicken wings, Guo Bao Rou, and a total of six dishes, plus a soup.
Chen Beixuan and Xiao Lu devoured the food, both lamenting what a hard life they had lived before.
This was living!
After his blood and qi improved, Grandpa Chen's appetite greatly increased, and He ate more than half of the food.
After eating their fill.
Xiao Lu ran off to watch TV, Zhou Xiuya cleaned up, and Chen Beixuan returned to his room with his phone.
Closing the door, He dialed the phone number Lu Ziming had given him.
Soon after, a man's voice answered.
"Hello, Truth Detective Agency, how can I help you?"
Chen Beixuan took a deep breath, and said in a disguised voice.
"I'd like to hire you to monitor someone."
"Location, name, approximate age, profession."
The man on the other end seemed to be used to this, getting straight to the point.
"Morning Wind City, Chen Fan, 29 years old, works at Xingji Corporation Company."
Chen Beixuan replied one by one from memory.
There was no sound from the other end of the phone, only the sound of a computer.
After a while, the man's voice came through again.
"The fee is 100,000 per day. Half of the deposit needs to be paid first. Do you have any objections?"
"Agreed."
"Alright, prepare the cash according to the time. We'll meet for the transaction at 4 PM. The location will be sent to your phone."
After saying that, the other party hung up, and then He received an address.
He glanced at it; it wasn't very far from here.
After greeting Xiao Lu and Zhou Xiuya, He left the villa area.
No sooner had He left the villa area than a man and a woman walked in.
"Husband, how much further is it?"
"We're almost there. Mr. Zhang's house is the second one inside. Hurry up."
Chen Fan, carrying gifts in both hands, shook his yellow hair and urged.
"Oh."
Liu Ruyun followed somewhat reluctantly.
