Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 155 Still Alive?
"Cough cough cough..." Chu Yu, who was choking on his own saliva, hurriedly closed the iron box. He swore that he had definitely heard Lin Xin's suppressed laughter from inside the carriage.

"Are you alright?" A voice filled with laughter came from inside the carriage.

"It's alright," Chu Yu shook his head, cleared his throat, and said, "You know what, this stuff might actually be refreshing, it's just that the taste is a bit pungent."

"The outermost layer is the most acidic, while the inside isn't as acidic," Lin Xin explained.

"Really? Haha~" Chu Yu chuckled dryly, stuffed the candy box into his pocket, and made up his mind to keep his energy up on the road ahead and try not to have any chance to touch that box of sour candy.

Lin Xin shrugged and didn't say anything more. Looking at the brightening sky and then at Lin Nan and Lin Tao who were about to wake up, she took out a bundle from her space and placed it on the small table in the middle.

"Sister~" Lin Nan called out instinctively as she woke up and looked at the unfamiliar place.

"Don't worry, I'm here! I won't let you get kidnapped!" Lin Xin said, tugging at his hair, which looked like a little bird's nest from his sleep.

"Yes, I knew my sister was the best." Even though she wasn't fully awake, trying to please her sister had become an ingrained habit for Lin Nan.

"You're trying to sweet-talk me again. Get up and wash up quickly. We'll have breakfast with Uncle Chu when Tao Tao wakes up." Lin Xin had long since mastered the art of remaining unmoved. She expressionlessly pulled Lin Nan up and covered his face with a wet handkerchief.

"Sister~" The slightly cool touch stimulated Lin Nan's face, instantly waking him up. He pouted unhappily and wiped his face clean.

"Hmm~" Lin Tao woke up at this moment, stretching lazily before even opening his eyes. His little feet touched Lin Xin's leg, and he slightly opened his eyes, a big smile blooming on his face when he saw Lin Xin's face. "Auntie~"

"Good boy!" Lin Xin bent down and picked him up, letting him snuggle in her arms to wake him up.

Lin Nan: "..." So love can disappear, right?

"Auntie, I need to pee!" After Lin Nan wiped his hands and face, Lin Tao, now fully awake, tugged at Lin Xin's sleeve and whispered shyly.

Lin Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, then knocked on the carriage. "Chu Yu, they're all awake. Let's find a place to stop, stretch our legs, and then have breakfast."

Chu Yu heard the conversation inside the carriage clearly. He looked at the not-too-dense woods next to him, chose a relatively wide road, and drove the carriage into the woods.

"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do! You two stay close to Uncle Chu and don't leave his sight, understand?" Lin Xin put the two little ones down from the carriage and solemnly instructed them.

"Okay." The two little ones responded in unison, then ran to Chu Yu and looked up at him. Lin Tao even exaggeratedly crossed his legs, which made Lin Xin laugh. She waved to Chu Yu to take them to "take care of their personal matters."

Before they returned, Lin Xin slipped into her spatial dimension, quickly took care of her personal needs, brushed her teeth at lightning speed, and then casually returned to the carriage, setting out breakfast across the entire small table.

"Wow! There's delicious food!" Lin Tao and Lin Nan, feeling relaxed, skipped back hand in hand, exclaiming with delight at the sight of the table full of food. "Yes, it's delicious, come and eat!" Lin Xin picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, then beckoned Chu Yu, who was staring blankly from below the carriage, to join them.

"Miss Lin, where did these things come from?" Chu Yu stammered in surprise.

"I brought it with me when I came," Lin Xin replied calmly.

"Really?" Chu Yu scratched his head. So much food takes up a lot of space, but he had been in the carriage for a while and hadn't seen a trace of these things, or even smelled them. This... isn't normal!
He wanted to ask more questions, but the words Mo Ziyuan had told him inexplicably popped into his head, so he wisely shut up. Oh well, as long as there's food to eat, he shouldn't think about anything else. As long as Miss Lin doesn't harm the young prince, that's fine!

The carefree Chu Yu quickly started eating.

Compared to the rare peace they enjoyed, Mo Ziyuan and his group, who had just left Liulin Village, were in a much worse situation, if not better.

Since leaving the village, they hadn't even traveled a few miles when they encountered two groups of men in black who were trying to ambush them. Although they eventually killed those men, they were still somewhat worried.

"Since so many people have come, it means that Chu Yu has temporarily gotten away with it. If we can keep their attention, their chances of safely reaching the capital will be higher. So everyone must stay alert and not give them any opportunity to take advantage," Mo Ziyuan said, reassuring the increasingly anxious crowd.

"Ziyuan is right. The more people come here, the safer it is for Lao Chu. We must not let things fall apart!" Gao Yong's characteristic loud voice appeared again.

"I hope they won't let us down!" Fu Jing's face was grim as he looked at the corpses lying scattered on the ground in front of him.

"Clean up these corpses, we need to continue our journey." Mo Ziyuan didn't even glance at him, riding straight past him and giving instructions to the men behind him.

Since that day, he has never looked at Fu Jing properly again, nor has he spoken a single word to him.

Fu Jing clenched his fists as he watched his retreating figure, a faint sense of powerlessness rising within him. Mo Ziyuan had shown him his sister's letter but then took it back. Even after he swallowed his pride and begged him for it, he couldn't get a single glance from him. Even the way Gao Yong and the others looked at him was filled with reproach.

He dared not imagine what would happen to him if Mo Ziyuan handed the letter to His Majesty after returning to the capital. For the first time ever, he felt resentment towards his sister. The journey had been arduous, and he had even been on the verge of death several times before finally achieving success. But all his life-and-death struggles were about to end because of his sister's wishful thinking. How could he accept this?
By this time, the guards who had come with them had already cleaned up the assassin's body, and everyone mounted their horses again and continued on their way.

Riding a horse is indeed much faster than a carriage. After two rounds of fighting, they still managed to arrive at the place where Lin Xin and the others had encountered Young Master Qian just before dusk.

"Your Highness, the eldest son of the Qian family, a royal merchant family, and three of his companions are lying on the ground not far ahead," the scout who had gone ahead told Mo Ziyuan what they had seen.

"Is he still alive?" Gao Yong asked first. Although Huang Shang is a merchant, as long as he has the word "Huang" on his name, it means that he has reached the pinnacle. As the next head of the Qian family, the appearance of the eldest son of the Qian family here is probably not simple!

If something happens to him again, even if his family is prominent, they will still have to offer enough benefits to compensate for the "pain" of losing their eldest son.
