Ch61: The Plan For Future

That night, Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi talked a lot that they had never done in the past twenty days.

In the end, both of them put down their guard and fell asleep.

However, Mo Yanzhi seemed to have forgotten to ask his husband why he hadn’t had sex with him for so many days.

However, he was shy to bring it up, so it would be better to wait.

The next day, Han Tingxuan opened his eyes and smiled when he thought about the conversation he had with Mo Yanzhi last night.

At this moment, Mo Yanzhi opened his eyes too. Immediately, Han Tingxuan leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

Mo Yanzhi blinked. "Hubby?"

Han Tingxuan smiled. "Good morning, Yanzhi."

Mo Yanzhi was a little shy. Han Tingxuan's smile was too bright. He gently opened his mouth. “Good morning.”

"How did you sleep yesterday?" asked Han Tingxuan.

Mo Yanzhi nodded. "Good." He slept very well last night, probably the best in the past few days. Knowing that Han Tingxuan wasn't blaming or hating him, but instead was worried about him, he was quite relieved.

The child might be a pity and a pain to remember. However, as Han Tingxuan said, their future was more important. Things had already happened. What they could do was to avenge their beloved child!

"Shall we get up?"

"Okay," replied Mo Yanzhi then got up from the bed.

The two of them quickly put on their clothes and went out. Shadow Seven was waiting outside. He had arranged the return trip.

"We will head out after breakfast," said Han Tingxuan.

Shadow Seven nodded. "Yes, I'll make arrangements now."

Han Tingxuan did not stop him. Soon after, someone brought over their breakfast and he and Mo Yanzhi focused on digging in the breakfast.

At this moment, something happened at the entrance of the inn.

"Run! I dare you to run!" A seven-ish-year-old boy was kicked away by a mocking man. The little boy fell on the ground heavily. He probably bumped into his teeth and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the man got close to him. "I dare you to run again!" Then, he lifted the boy by grabbing the boy's collar.

The boy struggled in the air.

The inn had been fully booked by Tian Yuexi and the waiters and shopkeepers were temporarily dismissed.

These days, the guards were all marshaling inside the inn. There was no one outside. The inn was closed to outsiders.

The secret guards left behind were hiding in the dark, and there was no one else that could be seen besides Shadow Seven.

At this time, what the man did at the entrance of the inn was seen by five guards who stayed outside the inn. However, the guards left behind were all elites and all of the 142 people were under Han Tingxuan's control.

Unless it had anything to do with their master, the guards were indifferent to other people or things. Therefore, they only had a glance outside without giving it much attention.

At this moment, the boy did something to outrage the big man to throw him into the inn!

The man covered his chin and glared at him. "You're so dead!"

It turned out that there was blood on the man's chin as if he had been scratched by nails. The person who scratched him was the boy!

After the man called out “you are so dead”, he ran into the inn and pulled out a knife from his waist pocket! He seemed to have the intention to kill the boy!

Since there was going to be murder under their nose, the five guards couldn't pretend to not see anything anymore.

One guard flashed in front of the child and blocked the man's knife.

The man glared at the guard in front of him. "Who are you?! How dare you stop me! Get out of the way! I'm going to kill this little bastard today!”

The guard stared coldly at the man. "You are violating the law!"

"The law?" The man laughed sarcastically as much as he could. "Talk about the law with me? Who the hell are you?! I am telling you. You'd better hand over that bastard, or else when my brothers arrive, you will be sorry for it!”

The guard glanced coldly at the man before turning to look at another guard. "Go and tell Master."

The guard who received the message immediately disappeared from the front hall.

When Han Tingxuan received the news, he and Mo Yanzhi had just finished their breakfast.

The guard explained clearly what had happened in the front hall, including the big man’s threat.

Han Tingxuan went silent after hearing this. Mo Yanzhi looked at Han Tingxuan and asked, "Are you not going to help that child?"

Han Tingxuan frowned. "What a coincidence!"

Mo Yanzhi’s heart sunk," You are saying…"

"How about this? Leave this matter to the local government," Han Tingxuan said to the guard. "Since it happened under my watch, I cannot ignore it. If the child is innocent, I should save him. As for the big man, he was so vicious to commit a crime in public. He regarded the law with no respect. If such a person wasn't in jail, the safety of others couldn't be guaranteed. One secret guard and ten guards stay here to investigate this matter.”

"Yes!" The guard left to carry out the order.

Han Tingxuan shouted. "Shadow Four."

After that, a man in green appeared. These secret guards had all been assigned to work for Han Tingxuan. Since Han Tingxuan would sometimes tell them to run errands. So they were all dressed up as ordinary people instead of all black. In this way, they could blend themselves into the crowd.

"You pick 10 guards to stay. They would better be good at martial arts."

"Yes," Shadow Four accepted the order and left.

After everyone left, Mo Yanzhi said to Han Tingxuan. "Are you not going out to deal it yourself?"

"No," Han Tingxuan shook his head. "At a critical moment, we should be extra careful. Although he was just a child, the enemy that is the easiest to be underestimated is the most dangerous. Now, we have to leave and have no time to identify the child. Out of humanity, I arranged for someone to help him, which is the best I can do. If we have to take care of everything, there are too many things in the world to take care of.”

Han Tingxuan did not deny that he was somehow 'cold-blooded'.

He was a businessman, and a successful businessman was supposed to be less 'helpful'.

Mo Yanzhi just nodded. "You are right."

Han Tingxuan thought that his male wife would dislike his coldness. But since that Mo Yanzhi did not think so, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yanzhi, pack up the things and we should leave."

"Okay," Mo Yanzhi nodded.

Half an hour later, Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi got into the carriage to the City of Capital. The interior of the carriage was spacious and comfortable.

Han Tingxuan made Mo Yanzhi lean on him for a while longer. Mo Yanzhi wanted to refuse because he was not that we. But he still did as he could see the concerns in Han Tingxuan's eyes.

They had a light meal for lunch on the road. In the evening, Han Tingxuan's convoy successfully entered the City of Capital.

In the carriage, Han Tingxuan saw the gate of the City of Capital which was magnificent.

While they went through the security checking, Han Tingxuan overheard people talking a lot about Restaurant of Bon Appetite.

Mo Yanzhi was surprised. "Hubby, Restaurant of Bon Appetite has only been opened for seven or eight days. How come so many people know about it?"

"Don't underestimate the information of the people in the City of Capital. In such a powerful city, even the most ordinary commoners are well aware of different sorts of information systems. This is how it works in big cities.”

"What?" Mo Yanzhi blinked. He did not understand a single thing that Han Tingxuan said.

"Eh…" Han Tingxuan scratched his head and realized that he had said something that his male wife didn't understand. Thus, he could only explain in a simple language, "Because in the capital city, compared to other places, the speed of communication between the common people is very fast. As soon as the news spreads, everyone will know what is happening in the City of Capital. Even though it was only seven days, many other states near the City of Capital might know about it. After all, Restaurant of Bon Appetite has branches in many places.”

"But apart from the City of Capital, the other Restaurants of Bon Appetite is not rebuilt."

"That's right, but it doesn't prevent some of them from sending messages to each other."

"I see," Mo Yanzhi thought about it.

Han Tingxuan smiled and rubbed Mo Yanzhi's head. "Don't think too much about it. It's fine if you don't understand it," Han Tingxuan was there with him anyway.

Mo Yanzhi also smiled. "Yes, I'm not as good as you in terms of running a business."

Han Tingxuan blinked and said, "Your martial arts are so much better than mine. We complement each other. To make up for each other's shortcomings. Yanzhi, are we, not a perfect couple or what?”

Mo Yanzhi smiled. "Yes, we are. Whatever you say is right."

"Haha," Han Tingxuan laughed and couldn't help hugging Mo Yanzhi onto his lap. "Yanzhi, since we are in the City of Capital, I'm afraid we will have a tough time to live."

Mo Yanzhi paused, "Do you want to leave?"

“How come!” Han Tingxuan stared at him in shock. "Now that we are here, why do we leave?"

Mo Yanzhi nodded and said softly, "I won't leave either. Our enemy is here. Hubby, if you want to leave, shall we leave after avenging our baby?”

Han Tingxuan went silent for a moment.

Mo Yanzhi asked, "Hubby?"

Han Tingxuan sighed. "It is not so easy to get revenge. We need to do a lot, and it might take a lot of time…" Most importantly, Mo Yanzhi still didn't know that Tian Yuexi, his only family, would be dead soon.

Wait. Tian Yuexi was not the only family he got. At least, Tian Yuexi had a son. However, Tian Yuexi was the closest to Mo Yanzhi.

Mo Yanzhi still did not know it yet.

"No matter how long it takes, it will not be a lifetime," said Mo Yanzhi. "What's more, Big Brother is here. When we have finished everything here, we can leave whenever we want to. Right?”

“Yes.” Han Tingxuan did not know what to say. Tian Yuexi had told him that he should not tell Mo Yanzhi about his disease in case Mo Yanzhi was overconcerned about him. Especially after Mo Yanzhi had suffered a lot from the miscarriage, it was devastating news for him to process.

Thus, Han Tingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, when everything here is over, our revenge is successful, we can leave. We can travel around the country. It is such a big country and there are so many places we can visit. At that time, we must have had a lot of money."

"Yes," Mo Yanzhi nodded heavily.

Han Tingxuan smiled and kissed Mo Yanzhi's hair. "It will take a while to get to our house. Close your eyes and rest for a while."

"I'm not tired," said Mo Yanzhi.

"Rest even if you're not tired," said Han Tingxuan.

Mo Yanzhi finally closed his eyes.

Han Tingxuan looked at his male wife's face with a complicated thought in mind.

Yanzhi, you know, my biggest wish is to be a rich laidback person. I can travel wherever I want with my family.

Where my love and my family are is home.

But now I don’t see such a future anymore. Because it is too difficult to achieve.

If possible, I don't want you to know anything about Tian Yuexi. I even have a wish that he had never found you.

In that case, we could have lived ordinary lives. Sadly, it is too late.

Coming to the City of Capital means that we are part of the fight over imperial power. Even if we don't fight, others will. And you are born in this way. You can’t be anybody. We have to fight. Otherwise, what awaited you would be death.

But how can I watch you die without doing anything?

Even though I am particularly disgusted with scheming against each other, even though I have no good impression of the royal family at all, even though I don’t want to fight for power, just because of you, I will do anything.

What's more, our baby died in the fight overpower. To prevent anyone else from getting hurt, I will have to hold this world in my own hands!

At that thought, a cold glint flashed across Han Tingxuan's eyes.

I won’t go easy on anyone who hurts my dearest ones!

Since I am in the game, I can at least be the master of this game. At least, I get to choose how to use this game to firmly protect the person I love the most.

Mo Yanzhi, just remembers that I am your husband. I have the responsibility to protect you from any harm. That is the only thing you should do.
