The journey from Qishui County to Lanjing wasn't terribly long. By rushing, they managed to arrive at their destination before evening.
Chen Yuan woke up to a painfully stiff neck, feeling as though it would CRACK and snap if he turned his head.
Even the most luxurious car was no match for the comfort of a bed.
"Awake?" Jiang Zhengfeng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, heard the movement beside him and handed a bottle of water to Chen Yuan.
"Mm-hmm."
Chen Yuan twisted the cap off and glanced out the window.
He had been on the highway when he fell asleep. Now, the Lanjing cityscape glittered outside his window.
This whole affair had been so sudden. He never expected to be back here after only two days.
"Where are we going now? Straight to the elder's home?"
"No, that outfit won't do. You need to dress more formally for a funeral. I ordered a suit for you ahead of time. It should have been delivered to the hotel by now. We'll go over after you change."
