Chapter 410 One is carrying a baby, the other is carrying a tortoise.
Reading Settings
However, although the shape of the giant tortoise has changed, its weight has not.
Don't be fooled by its small size; it weighs over 300 pounds!
Qiao Changdong didn't know at first, and when he bent down to pick it up, he almost fell headfirst and made a huge fool of himself!
Finally, he clapped his hands, pretending nothing had happened, stood up, and said to Shen Qingyan, who had just finished his small meeting with the Wang family and was walking over, "Uncle Shen, you've come at the right time. This arduous task is now entrusted to you!"
“???” Shen Qingyan.
The next morning, Shen Qingyan, with a resolute expression, set off carrying a seemingly empty duffel bag, under the gazes of the Wang family and three bodyguards who were either puzzled, bewildered, or confused.
Since the last century, Haishi has been a very developed city in the country. Its products are famous throughout the country, and many people are proud to buy certain products in Haishi.
The large shopping malls there not only offer a wide variety of domestic goods, but also countless imported products that are not available in other cities.
Even the beauty salon that Yan Liti wanted to open with Yan Xiaoqing originated from here.
In short, Haishi is a very prosperous city.
The Fu family is a leading wealthy and influential family in Shanghai.
Most of the large shopping malls in Shanghai are owned by the Fu family.
Mr. Fu Yihui and his first wife had only one son, named Fu Yingting.
Like Fu Yu now, Fu Yingting's extraordinary intelligence was already known throughout the elite circles when he was less than five years old.
In addition, he was handsome, and when he first came of age, countless women in wealthy circles wanted to marry into the Fu family.
This includes Xiang Jiajia.
At least in Xiang Xianglan's memory, her older sister Xiang Jiajia liked her brother-in-law very much.
She even caused a scene at home for a while because she wanted to marry her brother-in-law, Fu Yingting.
Later, her older sister Xiang Jiajia successfully married Fu Yingting, and three years after their marriage, she gave birth to a son, Fu Yu.
Fu Yu inherited Fu Yingting's intelligence and was exceptionally clever from a young age.
As for Fu Tengfei, he has no blood relation to Old Master Fu; he is the stepson of his later wife.
Fu Tengfei's original surname was Chen.
Later, in order to please Old Master Fu, he deliberately changed his surname.
Even so, in the will that Old Master Fu made, he did not receive a share of the Fu family's assets. He was left with only enough money for him and his mother to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
"That's probably why he held a grudge and did such a despicable thing," Xiang Xianglan said angrily, sitting in the train's dining area.
"Even if he's not a good person, your sister isn't much better, she's even worse than a beast."
Hearing Xiang Xianglan's indignant words, Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan did not respond, but Yan Liti pointed it out without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xianglan's anger turned into dejection.
She murmured as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
Because she had no way to refute it.
Yan Liti is telling the truth.
Yan Liti looked at her, then at Fu Yu. In fact, she had another, perhaps even more cruel, guess that she didn't reveal.
Fu Yu had previously told them that his father had been missing for several years.
He disappeared long before Old Master Fu died.
The clues they uncovered showed that Xiang Jiajia and Fu Tengfei had been involved together two years ago, making Fu Yingting's disappearance worthy of further investigation.
Is he really missing, or has he been murdered?
Even if Yan Liti didn't say anything, how could someone as clever as Fu Yu not realize that his expression had been rather unpleasant ever since he got into the car?
It takes more than ten hours to travel from Jinshi to Haishi by train.
Qiao Qiao and her group boarded the train at 8:00 AM, departed at 8:20 AM, and after a journey of more than 16 hours, they finally arrived in Haishi in the early hours of the next day.
Spring has arrived, but it's still quite cold in the early morning.
Qiao Qiao was sleeping like a little piglet when Qiao Changdong carried her away in his arms.
Shen Qingyan, once again under the strange gazes of the crowd, carried a seemingly empty but actually 300-pound suitcase behind them.
Before getting off the bus, Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan argued about who should hold their daughter and who should carry the tortoise.
Finally, the two men decided who would get the turtle by playing rock-paper-scissors, a best-of-five game.
Actually, the two initially decided to play a game of rock-paper-scissors.
However, Qiao Changdong lost the first time. He was not satisfied and said that it would be fair to have a best-of-three series.
Shen Qingyan was reluctant, but he couldn't stop the boy's constant chatter, so he had to row again.
As a result, Qiao Changdong lost again.
Qiao Changdong was even more unconvinced and changed his mind, saying that it had to be a best-of-five series.
Shen Qingyan had never seen anyone as shameless and reckless as Qiao Changdong.
He was a soldier, and in his view, a man's word is his bond; there's no reason for him to go back on his word repeatedly.
The extent to which Qiao Changdong was shameless truly exceeded his expectations.
But he wasn't good with words, and he wasn't as eloquent as Qiao Changdong.
Qiao Changdong pointed to Qiao Qiao, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and said quietly, "Chief Shen, it's not that I'm unwilling to take on this responsibility."
"You just don't know that I'm different from you. I haven't been reformed by a good baby's mother, nor have I had any proper training. Compared to you, I can be described as a useless person who can't lift a finger."
“Normally it would be fine, but these are extraordinary times. I’m really afraid that if I accidentally get hurt, it will make my baby worry.”
"You know how worried my darling is about me."
"Of course, Chief Shen, please don't take it to heart. I didn't mean anything by saying this. I absolutely did not intend to continue playing the drinking game. No, absolutely not."
“…” Shen Qingyan.
In the very end, Shen Qingyan and Qiao Changdong continued playing rock-paper-scissors, best of five rounds.
Qiao Changdong won the next three times.
When they got off the bus, Qiao Changdong, beaming with pride, carried his precious little one and, with Wang Jun leading the way, was the first to disembark.
Yan Liti and Xiang Xianglan, the former holding Fu Yu's hand, the latter carrying her and Fu Yu's luggage.
Tang Feng and Wu Yu carried everyone else's luggage.
Shen Qingyan followed at the back, carrying the seemingly thin but actually over 300-pound luggage bag.
As for why Tang Feng and Wu Yu weren't the ones carrying it.
Naturally, it was because the two of them didn't know that the bag contained the large tortoise that they believed had been left in the courtyard.
Of course, even knowing that the three of them could carry the 300-pound tortoise would be extremely difficult, they would still struggle to move.
After all, they are not Shen Qingyan, and their bodies have not been properly modified by Long Yijun.
When Qiao Changdong and his group were at the Wang family's house, they agreed that they would first take the train to Haishi, and the turtle would be driven there. They would then transform back at the designated time based on the travel time between the two places.
