Chapter 78: Strategizing with Borrowed Blades...Catching the Culprits

"Go to the countryside?" Xiang Chen's drowsiness vanished as he widened his eyes, looking at Xu Hengzhou. "Where to? Brother, are you quitting your job?"

Xu Hengzhou, holding onto Xiang Chen, who was like a little human heater, warm and comfortable in the winter, smiled lazily. "Don't need it anymore. I'll take you to the countryside to farm. Interested?"

Xu Hengzhou's decision to take Xiang Chen to the countryside wasn't a sudden whim. Ever since the signs of chaos emerged, he had been weighing the pros and cons, considering how to navigate the next ten years.

Initially, with Song Wenbin still around, they weren't completely on their own. Living in the city was more comfortable than in the countryside, so Xu Hengzhou decided it was the better option.

When Song Wenbin went to the Northwest for personal reasons, Xu Hengzhou reconsidered the idea of moving to the countryside. Whether thinking about it from an emotional perspective—unwilling to be separated from Song Wenbin—or a safety standpoint, considering the lurking enemies, he concluded that staying in the city was not as secure.

However, the plan to move to the countryside with Song Wenbin didn't materialize due to various reasons. Subsequently, with a smooth job and a stable life with Xiang Chen, the idea of moving to the countryside was once again pushed aside.

Another factor was Xu Hengzhou's lack of firsthand experience with the chaos that was expected in these years. Although he anticipated upheaval, it was different to witness it in person. Now, faced with the current situation, he realized the need to leave. His strength was too weak, and he lacked the confidence to confront this turbulent era head-on. It was better to retreat early. Besides, he had the spatial ability, ensuring a comfortable life wherever they went.

Xiang Chen furrowed his little brow, finding it challenging to picture what it would be like for his brother to farm. Honestly, before the time travel, his brother had a gentlemanly image in his eyes. Since the time travel, that image had gradually crumbled, but farming... it still seemed a bit far-fetched from his brother's established character.

"What are you thinking? Don't want to go?" Seeing Xiang Chen frowning, thinking he didn't want to go to the countryside, Xu Hengzhou sat up, wondering how he could handle the situation with the Wei family if Xiang Chen didn't want to leave.

"No, I don't mind. Quickly lie down," Xiang Chen said. Worried that Xu Hengzhou might catch a cold, he pulled him down and neatly tucked him in. With a serious face, he asked, "Brother, tell me, did something happen?"

Although he wasn't particularly clever, he wasn't too dull either. If his brother suddenly brought up leaving the familiar city for an unfamiliar countryside life, there had to be a reason. Xu Hengzhou raised an eyebrow, and since Xiang Chen had figured it out, he didn't keep it from him, revealing the information he had gathered about the Wei family's plot to harm them.

After hearing the story, Xiang Chen's cheeks flushed with anger. "Why are they so malicious, brother? Are we just going to let it slide like this?"

Xiang Chen felt that retreating without a fight was acceptable, but doing nothing at all felt too stifling. Those wicked people needed a lesson.

"It's easy to deal with them," Xu Hengzhou said. The weaknesses of the Wei family were too obvious. If Wei Qiaowen's situation could be used to pressure Wei Hongsheng to step down, they could also use it to make Wei Qiaowen take a big fall.
