The sky shuttle was extremely fast. Despite flying in the atmosphere, its speed could reach up to twenty thousand kilometers per hour.

There was almost no flying beast that could match such high speed. The safety of travelling on it was absolutely guaranteed, and the first choice of those who were wealthy enough for intercontinental travel.

Of course, this was also the only choice available, since ordinary passenger planes were too accident prone. As such, intercontinental flights had been cancelled since the dawn of the new age.

Even if there were one or two terrifying flying beasts that could catch up to the sky shuttle, it could still choose to directly fly out of the atmosphere, leaving those flying beasts unable to give chase any longer. The environment in outer space wasn’t something any life form could casually enter and survive.

———-

After over ten hours of flight, the sky shuttle Zhang Che took finally landed in the dedicated airport in Bei Du City.

The current time was actually not much different from when he boarded the flight in Bei Mei region; it was still morning.

For Zhang Che, it was truly a fascinating experience. He departed from Bei Mei in the morning, and it was still morning when he arrived in Hua Xia. Just thinking about it interested him.

The sky shuttle’s speed could almost match the rotation of Mercury!

“We’re in Bei Du now?”

By the time they walked out of the airport, the grief on Chen Lishan’s face had lessened quite a bit compared to before.

Although she just learned about her brother’s demise from that mid-tier beastmaster last night, she had already mentally prepared herself. Now that she was in a new environment, her psyche was adjusted to a certain degree.

“Yes, this is Bei Du!” Zhang Che lamented. He really wanted to go find Huang Tielan right this moment.

However, he still had to settle down Chen Lishan first.

She came with him all the way to Hua Xia without any relatives around. Zhang Che couldn’t bear to abandon her just like that.

He found a hotel for Chen Lishan near the airport, then transferred two million dollars to her account, telling her, “Settle down here for now. I still have many things to take care of. Send me a message if you come across anything you can’t handle.”

Chen Lishan nodded meekly, “Mmm, go do what you have to, Brother Sun. I’ll take good care of myself. Take it as I borrowed this money from you. I’ll find a job and slowly repay you.”

She knew that Zhang Che’s identity wasn’t so simple. Not only that, it seemed like he wouldn’t come in contact with her much in the future, so she had to work hard and settle down here on her own.

Zhang Che fell silent for a moment. He didn’t know what to say, and could only nod in the end, saying, “Mmm, take good care of yourself. This is what your brother would hope to see… I’ll get going now. Remember to contact me if there’s anything.”

——–

Zhang Che didn’t know where Huang Tielan was staying at. He had no lead to work on finding her.

As such, he directly flagged down a taxi and headed straight to the Bei Du city administration building.

Here, he applied and obtained a new personal terminal through verifying his personal details. Afterwards, he downloaded his personal data from the cloud network.

After downloading the data, Zhang Che saw a long string of voice messages in his mailbox from Huang Tielan. There was one almost everyday.

Tears immediately welled up in his eyes. His fingers trembled as he sent a voice call request to Huang Tielan.

The call was connected right away. Huang Tielan first cried out loud in surprise, followed by her wailing. “Ah! Zhang Xiaoche, I knew you’d be fine! Wuuhuu…”

Miss Tienan had never cried once ever since she found out about Zhang Che’s disappearance. Now that she suddenly received news from him, she could no longer suppress her feelings and everything bottled up inside her erupted in one go.

Although, her crying sounds contained her feelings of happiness.

“I’m sorry, Tielan. I’ve made you worry all this time…” Zhang Che was feeling all kinds of emotions, too. He didn’t know where to begin talking.

However, on the other end, Huang Tielan ignored him and directly ended the call.

Zhang Che was baffled. -What is this?-

Shaking his head, he sent a voice call request to Sun Lan, but the line turned out to be busy…

“How strange…” Zhang Che was speechless. What happened was very different from how he imagined it to be.

Soon, Huang Tielan called him back. She said, unable to suppress her excitement, “Where are you, Zhang Xiaoche? Okay, stay there and don’t move. I’ll come fetch you immediately with Auntie Sun!”

The call ended again…

Zhang Che was dumbstruck again. -Auntie Sun? My mother?-

He immediately realized what was going on. It was likely that Miss Tienan brought Sun Lan here to take care of her after he disappeared, in case something happened from her worrying over him.

-Ai, this girl… how will I ever repay you…-

Since Huang Tielan told him to wait here, Zhang Che left the city administration building and sat down on a bench by the roadside.

Cars stopped nearby from time to time. People of various shapes and sizes came out of them, and Zhang Che would always shoot a glance at them.

“Who knows how long Miss Tienan will take to come here… Though she had always been really quick. It shouldn’t take too long, right?”

—————-

As things would have it, Bei Du City was huge. Zhang Che had been sitting there for half an hour now, and Miss Tienan was still nowhere to be seen.

Screech..! Another car parked at the roadside. The driver’s door opened. A pair of long legs first appeared in Zhang Che’s sight. He couldn’t help but look upwards, and he saw a beauty over a hundred and eighty centimeters tall coming out. He would give her a score of over ninety-five for her looks and figure.

“Mhm, I’ll withhold five points. You’re not my Miss Tienan,” Zhang Che turned his head away in disappointment, his gaze shifted back to the traffic.

-Hmm? Something doesn’t seem quite right?- Zhang Che hurriedly turned his head back. He saw that tall beauty coming at him with an angry face, then jumped into his embrace, complaining, “Zhang Xiaoche, how dare you act as if you don’t know me!”

Zhang Che was shocked enough as it was after getting jumped on by an unfamiliar beauty. When he heard that familiar voice, his brain could no longer work properly.

-Is this still my Miss Tienan?-

As he wondered, Huang Tielan loosened her hug. Her eyes were filled with tears, her face filled with happiness, saying, “How is it? Are you surprised? Amazed, even?”

Zhang Che’s eyes instantly reddened. He knew that the reason why Miss Tienan lost so much weight so quickly was all because of him…

“Are you feeling pressured after seeing me becoming so pretty?” Huang Tielan said, wiping her tears away. She pulled Zhang Che up and dragged him to the parked car, saying, “Stop being silly. Auntie Sun is still waiting in the car!”

His mind was still out of it when Zhang Che was dragged into the car by Huang Tielan. At that moment, he saw Sun Lan looking at him with a face full of tears of joy.

“Xiao Che, you’ve returned…”

“Mom, I’m back!” Zhang Che could no longer hold back his tears. “Don’t worry, I won’t make you worry again!”
