Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Not One to Be Malleable

The two children listened and nodded seriously, especially Siyan, who solemnly said, "Dad is right."

Xinyan had been watching from the side, didn’t interrupt, and quietly observed the interaction between father and son.

People often say parents are their children’s first teachers, and your actions usually have a subtle influence on them without you even realizing it.

After a meal, Xinyan initially wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Ye Liyan stopped her.

Xinyan didn’t insist further, instead played two games of checkers with the two little ones before preparing to leave.

The tasks for today were all completed, so it was time to return.

She also needed to drop by the shop to check if there were any remaining issues, as the opening day was approaching and there were still many scattered things to handle.

Meanwhile, far away in the Northwest, He Jinxuan, after successfully leading the convoy away from danger, arranged for the driver to take turns resting, eating and drinking all on the vehicle, stubbornly reaching the destination a few days later.

Once the goods were unloaded and clearly handed over, everyone found a place to eat, had a simple wash, and immediately fell asleep, as the journey had been exhausting.

They didn’t realize that if He Jinxuan hadn’t led them to avoid the canyon road, they might still be stuck in a dire situation.

Moreover, they were unaware that their return journey would not be smooth.

While He Jinxuan was sleeping soundly in the guest house, the atmosphere was bad in another courtyard: "Tell me, did they fly over or what?"

None of the people nearby dared to speak up; the person continued, "We’ve spent so long here doing that man’s work, and now all the planning has turned into a joke. How are we going to explain this to him?"

They had received half of the payment from the man, with a promise to receive the other half after the job was done, but now what should be done?

Would they have to return the money? Just thinking about it made them uncomfortable.

Returning the money was secondary—what mattered most was, since he started in this line of work, he’s never been played like this, and he couldn’t swallow this grievance.

He suspected that the target must have received a warning in advance.

Unfortunately, his guess was slightly off; He Jinxuan hadn’t received any warning, but sensed a conspiracy in the unusual situation, and with his cautious approach, managed to avoid others’ schemes.

However, at this point, He Jinxuan only knew someone wanted to plot against him but didn’t know who was behind it or why.

After sleeping for a full day and night, they felt revived.

Because they rushed overnight, they arrived three days earlier than expected, so they weren’t in a hurry to return.

This time, since the situation was urgent, the convoy had no transport tasks for the return, meaning the vehicles would return empty to the Capital.

Once everyone rested well and took good baths, He Jinxuan stated clearly that they would return in three days.

He also mentioned that during this period, everyone could rely on their own abilities. Of course, he didn’t spell it out, but everyone understood.

Previously, every return trip would have transport tasks, and this time everyone was somewhat puzzled.

Actually, it was Yin Jinsi feeling guilty, knowing someone deliberately made things difficult for He Jinxuan, not knowing how long this trip would last, so never considered arranging return transport tasks for them.

This time, their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

He Jinxuan did this intentionally because the matter couldn’t just be let go.

He knew for sure the spy within the convoy would notify those behind the scenes, but He Jinxuan wasn’t someone to be easily manipulated.
