After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 962 - 948: Trust? Bi Xia?

Here in Yan City—

After a day and night of sea travel, everyone was a bit tired. Du Zizun took advantage of everyone’s rest to come to the deck, counting the cargo carefully with a flashlight for final confirmation, even specifically checking the sealing conditions of each box to ensure nothing went wrong at this critical moment.

Although Du Zizun had just graduated from high school, he knew this was X Security Company’s first mission, and it was a big one. No matter what, caution was paramount.

Meanwhile, as Du Han and Ye Xiao also prepared to conduct the final inspection of the cargo with a flashlight, they walked onto the deck and saw Du Zizun’s serious demeanor. Both were stunned for a moment, exchanged a glance, and Ye Xiao swore he saw the expression ’how come my son is so sensible?’ in the eyes of the rugged Du Han.

Ye Xiao’s mouth twitched, and he tactfully patted Du Han on the shoulder, whispering, "Captain Du, don’t get careless, come on up."

Du Han blinked, scratching his head inexplicably, as if there was something wrong with this sentence.

It seemed like something he’d heard when his comrades teased him while pursuing his wife...

Reacting, Du Han looked at Ye Xiao who had already run far away and couldn’t help but laugh and curse, "That little rascal!"

"Who?!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

A strong light swept over him, followed by his son’s voice. Du Han squinted slightly, shielding his eyes from the light, "It’s me, your dad."

The glaring light vanished instantly, and Du Zizun frowned as he quickly approached Du Han, "Why did you come up here? We’re going to load the cargo soon, aren’t you taking this chance to rest?"

Du Han hadn’t really talked to his son for a long time. After the opportunity Bi Xia had created for them last time, they talked through and dissolved the accumulated barriers in their hearts. But after all, there had been a barrier, not something that could be completely mended in a short time, and sometimes between them, it still felt a bit awkward.

Listening to his son’s concern, Du Han smiled, "It’s fine, I just came up to check the cargo."

Du Zizun responded and started walking up the deck with Du Han, "What are you worried about? I’ll check it, better to rest properly, right?"

Saying this, Du Zizun paused, rolled his eyes, "I must say, Bi Xia is so good at being lazy. He promised to ship the cargo with us, but then took a plane to Yan City himself, making us delay by half a day. Now, by calculation, it’ll take us at least one more day to get there, while he’s already been in Yan City for a whole day."

"Come on, you little rascal, if you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense," Du Han said while inspecting the cargo, giving Du Zizun a gentle smack on the head. "You don’t know a thing."

"They wanted our people to go first for negotiations, and apparently Ninth Young Master has some plans; otherwise, it wouldn’t be done this way, and he wouldn’t have taken Chi away either."

"By the way, Dad," Du Zizun turned to ask, "I noticed Bi Xia really trusts Meng Chi and Ye Xiao. They’re even younger than me. Why is Bi Xia so willing to entrust things to them? And I feel like their dads don’t have as high a place in Bi Xia’s mind as their sons."

"Why do you say that?"

"Just take X Security Company for example," Du Zizun and Du Han sat on the deck, "Though X Security Company is led by Ye Kai, I believe the real control rests with Bi Xia. Compared to Ye Kai, Bi Xia trusts Ye Xiao more. If Ye Xiao and Ye Kai bring up issues simultaneously within the company, people will choose to respond to Ye Xiao first."

Listening to Du Zizun, Du Han slowly chuckled, "You’ve really grown up."

"You’re right. Ninth Young Master does trust Chi and Xiao more, but conversely, Chi and Xiao also entirely trust Ninth Young Master. So between a seasoned person and someone who trusts you completely, whom would you choose?"
