43、Invitation from Finland

  Failed to catch Zhao Xuandragon, Chen Chen returned to his residence with a slight dissatisfaction.

  Now that things have come to this with the Zhao family, I'd rather not think about it too much. It's better to be decisive and put an end to it once and for all, this is the best way to eliminate future troubles.

  However, the two people brought by Zhao's family were a bit strange. It was necessary to wait for Ji Lian and others to come up with results before making plans, and only after clarifying the other party's situation would they take action, which was a safe approach.

  After resting for a night, Chen Chen got up and washed up, planning to go to Xiangxianglin with Luo Yuhuang to make some explanations. After all, it was during his tenure that Luo Xinran encountered danger, and at least he had to give the other party an explanation.

  Just then, he received a call from Minister He on the bus.

  "Which minister?" Chen Chen pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear: "Calling so early, is there something you need me for?"

  "After Haken returned home, he sent two air tickets, a round-trip ticket from Rongcheng to Helsinki. Minister He smiled and went straight to the point: "The invitation is for you, inviting you to attend the hero's welcome ceremony in a week, with all food and accommodation taken care of by them."

  "Oh, I almost forgot about this." Chen Chen suddenly remembered the appointment with Hakin and asked: "Are you asking me to pick up the ticket? Also, to go to Europe, I still need to get a passport."

  "Don't worry about the passport, I'll call ahead to the immigration department and have them expedite it for you." Minister He replied casually: "You'd better come pick up your ticket as soon as possible and then go get your passport. There should still be some preparations before going abroad."

  "I know, thank you Minister He for reminding me." Chen Chen replied: "There's still something going on now, might be a bit late when I call you back."

  "Just find me anytime." Minister He seemed very magnanimous.

  Hanging up the phone, Chen Chen drove to the Luo family villa and Lao Wei was already waiting there.

  Seeing him coming over, Lao Wei didn't say anything, just waved his hand at him and walked into the gate by himself. Chen Chen understood and locked the car before following him in.

  As they entered the living room, Luo Yu Huang was sitting on the sofa waiting, while Luo Xin Ran sat beside him, drinking a cup of milk.

  When Chen Chen came in, Luo Yu Huang nodded and pointed to the sofa across from him. Luo Xiran also put down his cup and stared at Chen Chen with a strange gaze, as if he didn't recognize him anymore.

  Chen Chen walked over and sat down opposite the two of them, while Lao Wei habitually stood behind Luo Yuhuang.

  After sitting down, Ruo Yu Huang didn't rush to speak, but instead pushed a bulging envelope on the tea table in front of Chen Chen: "Here is 20,000 yuan. 10,000 yuan is your salary, and 10,000 yuan is a reward for protecting Xin Ran last night."

  Chen Chen nodded and took the envelope: "That is to say, the bodyguard work has ended."

  "There was originally still a week left." Luo Yu nodded in affirmation: "However, with this incident happening and Xinran needing to rest for the next few days, I won't be going, so there's no need for close protection either."

  "I understand!" Chen Chen didn't think much of it, Ruo Yu Huang's approach was reasonable and there was nothing to blame.

  "If you're willing, Xiran can stay and continue to be your bodyguard." Ruo Yu Huang naturally knew what Chen Chen was thinking, and added: "However, I reckon you won't do it for long. People like you won't spend their whole lives being a bodyguard."

  When she said this, Lu Xinyan stared tightly at Chen Chen, as if waiting for his response, with a hopeful look flashing in her eyes.

  "I'm going to Europe next week, I guess I really don't have time." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your appreciation, these twenty days were very enjoyable for me, and I hope to have the opportunity to interact with you again in the future."

  As soon as this answer came out, Lu Xinyan's bright expression instantly dimmed.

  "Last night's events, Xinran has already told me in detail." Noticing his daughter's unnatural expression, Lu Yu Huang reached out and gently patted her shoulder, looking sincerely at Chen Chen: "I have to thank you, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen my daughter again. But I'm also very curious, when Xinran was injured so badly, how did you manage to save her?"

  "I've learned some first aid skills, didn't expect to use them." Chen Chen had long been prepared with an answer and now recited it: "Miss Luo is a lucky person, I have good luck too."

  "Hehe, I guess it's just my good luck to have met you?" Ruo Yu Huang said politely, then remembered something else: "By the way, I saw on the news this morning that Zhao Xuan Long was in a car accident?"

  "Isn't this great?" Chen Chen knew it was a probe and smiled back lightly.

  "I heard he was hit while crossing the road quickly." Lu Yu Huang stared tightly at Chen Chen's eyes, revealing a hint of playful smile: "Who did he see that would make him so scared, to the point where he panicked and didn't care about the road?"

  "Who knows?" Chen Chen stared straight at the other party without fear, not a bit flustered.

  "Hehe, whoever it is, it's fine." Seeing Chen Chen not willing to tell the truth, Luo Yu Huang also didn't have the intention to pursue the matter further, and his body relaxed slightly as he leaned back on the sofa: "However, since Zhao Xuan Long has met with trouble, Zhao Guang Hai won't let things go easily. Whoever it is, we need to be careful of their revenge."

  "I think that since he dared to do such a thing, he must have been careful." Chen Chen casually replied, then slowly stood up: "In any case, I've safely returned Miss Luo to you, and my mission is accomplished."

  "I should thank you properly." Seeing Chen Chen preparing to leave, Luo Yu Huang also stood up: "I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight to express my sincerest gratitude. I don't know if you'll grant me this favor?"

  Chen Chen was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "An invitation from the Luozhangmen, how could I possibly not show my face? I'll be there on time tonight."

  Upon hearing this response, Lu Yu-Huang nodded his head in satisfaction, and a delighted expression also appeared on the face of Lu Xin-Ran beside him.

  After they agreed on a time, Chen Chen bid farewell and left.

  The bodyguard job has ended and the car keys have been left behind, he has returned to a life without a car, but now economically more affluent, so there's nothing to worry about.

  He hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed straight for the Ministry of Foreign Cultural Exchange, ready to go find Minister He to retrieve his ticket.

  Once again, Minister He was very warm to Chen Chen, although they had only met once before. However, Chen Chen had brought him many benefits, so he also liked this young man.

  After some small talk, Chen Chen got his ticket and rushed to the entry-exit administration department to apply for a European passport.

  Thanks to Minister He's connection, the passport application went very smoothly. Normally it would take at least a month, but this time it was completed in just three days. Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary passport, but a business passport that allows for visa-free travel throughout all of Europe.
