After entering the house, Chen Chuan took off his coat and began taking things out of his suitcase one by one. "Uncle, Little aunt, I brought you a lot of things." He picked up an aluminum tobacco tin and handed it to Nian Fuli. "Uncle, this is high-quality tobacco, imported from Tayana." Nian Fuli's addiction was immediately triggered at the sight, and he rubbed his hands together. "Tayana tobacco, I've wanted to try it for a while." He began to pull out his pipe. "Little Chuan, I haven't used the pipe you gave me last time much, it's perfect with this..." Chen Chuan smiled and took out a set of exquisite tea sets, as well as a set of Green Pouch Jade Pavilion skincare products, saying, "Little aunt, this is for you." Melan was originally the strongest in the skincare product market, but after the Molan Company collapsed, its market and technology were divided up by various companies. Green Pouch Jade Pavilion also got a piece of it, but currently only does high-end products, and the quantity is limited. As a test subject, he also managed to get a copy. Yu Wan said, "Chan'er, you've already sent a lot of things last time. You need to spend money in Central City, so don't bring things back when you come back." Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Little aunt, I now have a position in the Processing Bureau and receive a salary. I don't have to pay for food and lodging at the Academy, so I can buy you some things." Nian Fuli then asked, "What position is it?" Chen Chuan said, "A member of the Processing Bureau's Special Ops Team." Nian Fuli asked a few more questions, understood, and said with emotion, "If you were to return to Yang Zhi, the Patrol Bureau would at least give you a big Captain position. If you calculate it that way, that's the same level as me." Chen Chuan smiled and said, "That can't be compared. I can only manage myself in the Processing Bureau, but uncle manages thousands of people." Nian Fuli sighed and said, "Alas, the salary hasn't increased much, but there are a lot of things to worry about. It's difficult." Yu Wan glared at him and said, "If you think it's tiring, let someone else do it." "That won't do. So many brothers are counting on me, how can I quit..." At this time, the younger cousins were jumping around Chen Chuan, saying, "Older cousin, what about ours, what about ours?" Chen Chuan said with a smile, "I won't forget you." He took out the rest of the things from the bag. In addition to dolls that boys and girls liked, there were also some educational toys for children. After giving the things to the two cheering little ones, he finally took out a cylindrical object wrapped in cloth and placed it on the table. Yu Wan asked curiously, "Chan'er, what is this?" Chen Chuan pulled the cloth away, revealing a palm-sized cage with a colorful bird inside. He said, "This is a Miniature Parrot, it can welcome guests and bring good news, and it can peck at all kinds of mosquitoes and bugs in the house." This Miniature Parrot was something he bought from the Secret Serpent Cult. It was delivered to his door with a notice. This thing is very easy to keep alive, has a long lifespan, and will also specifically say good things about its owner. However, the biggest function of this thing is actually to identify people. Whenever a familiar or unfamiliar guest comes in, it will notify the owner one step ahead. At this time, he took the cage and shook it gently. The parrot moved, opened its sleepy eyes, and saw the person in front of it looking at it. It immediately perked up, spread its wings, and said loudly, "Happiness and auspiciousness, happiness and auspiciousness..." Yu Wan looked at it curiously, and even the two little ones, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, leaned over to look with Zhao Ming. The Miniature Parrot was not afraid of people at all. It flinched a little when Zhao Ming's head came over, but quickly straightened its chest again, and its eyes drifted towards Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, as if begging for help. That appearance immediately amused everyone. Yu Wan said, "It's so hot these days, there are a lot of bugs. Since it can catch flies and bugs, let's keep this little thing. Chan'er, how long will you stay this time?" Chen Chuan said, "About a month." He added, "Little aunt, I have a car now, I will come back to see you often in the future." Nian Fuli said, "Besides studying, you also have errands. These things are important. You don't have to worry about us. Just call us usually. The road is not short, and it's hard to rush back and forth." Yu Wan also said, "Chan'er, your uncle is right. Studying and doing errands are not easy tasks. Rest more when you have time. You are always serious and work late into the night, so take care of yourself." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Uncle, Little aunt, I will take care of myself." At noon, the family had a meal together. During the meal, they talked about the situation in Central City. However, with two young children present, and to avoid Yu Wan from worrying too much, Chen Chuan did not involve too many negative things, but only talked about the general situation of Central City. The bizarre world under the Biological Field captivated Little aunt's family. Although they had occasionally heard rumors from Central City, they had never heard Chen Chuan describe it in such detail, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. After the meal, Nian Fuli said, "Accompany me for a walk." Chen Chuan said okay. The two of them came out of the house, greeted people along the way, and walked out of the alley to the nearby park. Nian Fuli took out his pipe, and Chen Chuan took out a lighter he had handy to light it for him. Nian Fuli waited for a while, took a gentle puff, and slowly exhaled, praising, "This taste is right." Walking slowly on the road, he said, "Now that Molan Company is gone, and the Bloodstain Gang has been wiped out, there are fewer things in the city. The Iron Chain Gang is quite disciplined, and the security in Yang Zhi is much better than before. There have been many changes in the Patrol Bureau. Old Company Commander has been promoted and is now the director of the bureau. Instructor Wen has also been transferred, and a new chief instructor has been replaced, but I can't see through this person. He always smiles at everyone, but his eyes are always staring at people from behind." He chuckled, "With Molan gone, the higher-ups want someone to keep an eye on our Patrol Bureau." Chen Chuan understood that the important responsibility of the Yangzhi City Patrol Bureau used to be to keep an eye on Melan. Now that Melan is gone, the higher-ups will naturally choose new methods of containment. He thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, is there any result from the Molan Company's location?" "That place, it has now been taken over by Yuan'an Corp. A railway is now being built in the north, connecting from the Hanggu City Naval Base. It was decided last year, and it is said that Yuan'an Corp provided the funds behind it." Chen Chuan nodded. Yuan'an is an arms company, but it is also a state-owned enterprise. Handing it over to Yuan'an should be an arrangement by the Great Shun Government. Nian Fuli slowly took a puff of smoke. "I heard that those island nations on the Outer Ocean are fighting every day. Xiao Qian came to Telegram a few days ago and said that his internship unit may be transferred to garrison there. It is estimated that he will not be able to come back for the New Year again." Chen Chuan knew about this. The rebel forces on the Outer Ocean islands are emerging one after another, and the countries are not in harmony with each other. There is fighting almost every day, which can be said to be constant warfare. He said, "The military equipment of the Outer Ocean islands is several levels lower than Da Shun. Older cousin is an officer from school. The current tactics are different from the past. He doesn't need to personally go to the front line to fight. Uncle, don't worry too much." Nian Fuli shook his head and said, "It's okay even if he goes to the battlefield. If your uncle hadn't fought on the battlefield when he was young, he wouldn't be who he is now. You should be careful in Central City. Although you didn't say it just now, uncle knows that Central City is not a good place to stay. Don't worry about the family. Your uncle is still healthy and can last for another twenty years without any problems. Just do your own thing." Chen Chuan nodded. Nian Fuli patted his head again and said, "That's right, I almost forgot one thing. A few days ago, a kid named Lu Ke called. He is Yu Gang's disciple, right? He said he would give you their contact address." He groped for a while and took out a piece of paper. "I wrote down his address." Chen Chuan took it and glanced at it. "Thank you, uncle." Nian Fuli waved his hand and said, "Yu Gang originally had a case on his back, but the Iron Chain Gang helped the higher-ups block the Bloodstain Gang, and the previous criminal record was also cleared. This person knows how to advance and retreat, and is stable in his work. He has also been your teacher. If you think it's okay, you can help him." Chen Chuan nodded. After taking a walk outside and returning, Chen Chuan spent a lot of time talking with Yu Wan before returning to his room. After being away for more than half a year, the furnishings in the room were still the same as before, and it was obvious that Little aunt often cleaned it. He took out the things he needed and tidied them up. In the afternoon, he drove his younger cousins to the newly opened amusement park and also visited some places he used to frequent. After returning that day, he took a refreshing shower and went to bed. The next morning, he got up early, came out to practice boxing for a while, and moved his muscles and bones. After having breakfast with Little aunt's family, he called Ding Jiao. "Ding Jiao, this is Chen Chuan." "Little Chuan...you're back?!" A loud voice came from the other side. Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Yes, I'm on summer vacation. I'm back in Yang Zhi." "Oh my, oh my..." Ding Jiao exclaimed, "Little Chuan, you said you're back in Yang Zhi, why didn't you say so earlier? We brothers should have picked you up. And you've been in Central City for so long, you have to tell us all about what's going on there, so that we brothers can brag about it when we go out, right?" Chen Chuan laughed. Ding Jiao was still the same as before, not changed at all. He said, "I only came back yesterday, that's why I'm calling you now, right? Let's make a time to get together, I'll be at home for this month." "Okay, okay, I'll notify people now, I'll find you later." The phone was hung up in a hurry. Chen Chuan smiled and dialed another phone number. This time he called Cheng Zitong. After the call connected, he said, "Teacher, this is Little Chuan, um, I just got home yesterday. Is teacher available now? Okay, then I'll come over now." He put on his hat, took some things he bought in Central City, and pushed the door out. However, these things were just extras. He had prepared a special gift this time, a Supernatural Entity record book based on various clues recorded in Central City, which he believed Cheng Zitong would like. Getting into the car at the entrance of the alley, he drove towards Wuyi Academy.
