On the day Qin Silong and Su Bin departed for the camp, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin returned to their hometown.
The family accompanied them to the county's relay station.
Qin Silong took Qin Zhenzhen aside for a private conversation. "Zhenzhen, if all goes as planned, I won't be back for three years."
"I'm entrusting our family's safety to you, and you must take special care of yourself."
Qin Zhenzhen nodded solemnly. "Of course, Fourth Brother. Our family doesn't have any known enemies, and the Jiang family has already crumbled. There shouldn't be any concerns about their safety."
"As for the royal family's people, now that we're back in the prefecture capital, we should be safe."
However, Qin Silong harbored reservations. "Zhenzhen, I know you're trying to reassure me, but I can't ignore the fact that the royal family's agents are always a lurking threat."
