Chapter 999: Chapter 999: None of Them Let Her Rest Easy

Rong Shaoze also said that boys should endure hardships and train more to become successful.

He strongly agreed with Xiaocong going.

Lin Xinlan gave him the cold shoulder for a day because of this.

Later, Rong Shaoze said he would arrange for Meiying, Zhang Li, and a few other experts to accompany him, and Lin Xinlan had no choice but to compromise.

There was no other way; her son had grown up and wasn’t under her control anymore. She could only try to let go and allow him to gain more experience by himself.

Rong Shaoze and his team actively issued a challenge to Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye had been unable to vent his anger on Rong Shaoze recently and was very agitated.

Additionally, being quite arrogant, he accepted their challenge.

The members within the Flame Phoenix had already prepared everything thoroughly.

On the day of departure, Lin Xinlan kept reminding them to be careful and not to get hurt.

Seeing her worried expression, Rong Shaoze felt very guilty inside.

Before boarding the plane, he hugged her tightly and murmured in her ear, “Xinlan, I swear to you, this is the last time I will make you worry. In the future, I will never let you fear or worry again.”

Lin Xinlan only nodded, unable to speak a word.

The man kissed her at the corner of her mouth, reluctantly saying, “Wait for me to come back.”

“Hmm, I will wait for you.” Lin Xinlan smiled faintly.

She couldn’t cry; crying was unlucky, so she had to smile.

Rong Shaoze turned away resolutely and boarded the helicopter with big strides.

Lin Xinlan watched them fly further and farther away until they completely disappeared, and only then did she retract her absent-minded gaze.

After seeing one off, she would soon have to see another one off.

Both the eldest and the youngest wouldn’t let her be at ease.

After a heap of instructions to Xiaocong, he left reluctantly.

Almost everyone had left, and Phoenix Island suddenly became much quieter.

Sang Wu stayed to accompany Lin Xinlan, also to ensure her safety.

Rong Shaoze and the others had been gone for two days, and Lin Xinlan had been waiting at home for two days.

During this time, he called twice, saying everything was progressing smoothly and that she shouldn’t worry.

Xiaocong also called to report that he was safe.

Yet she was still very worried about them, praying every day that they would be safe and sound.

Days rushed by quickly, another one or two weeks had passed.

“Sister Xinlan, what are you doing?” Sang Wu had not yet entered the villa when she saw Lin Xinlan squatting in the garden, seemingly doing something.

Lin Xinlan turned and smiled, “The water pipe is leaking, I want to see if I can fix it.”

“Let me do it.” Sang Wu rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward to check, and frowned, “I need some tools; I’ll go get them from home. Wait for me a moment.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

After Sang Wu left, Lin Xinlan continued tinkering with the water pipe.

“Madam, what are you doing?” Suddenly, a male voice sounded from behind.

Lin Xinlan turned her head; the man was backlit, his face hidden in shadow, unclear.

“The water pipe is broken; I’m fixing it.”

The man smiled slightly, “I’ll help you fix it in a while. By the way, Madam, a few brothers just came back and brought news from the Sect Leader. Would you like to go and see now?”

“Really?!” Lin Xinlan’s heart leaped with joy, and she immediately stood up, “Let’s go, we’ll take a look.”

“After you, Madam.”

Lin Xinlan took two steps forward but suddenly turned back, “What’s your name? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”

“My name is Chen Yang. I’ve been patrolling the sea on the east side, so Madam hasn’t seen me.”

“How long have you been here?” Lin Xinlan asked again.

“Over twenty years now.”

“So long, you must have come with Rong Shaoze and the others in that batch.”
