Chapter 118: Chapter 107: No Need to Turn the Page to Deal with the Lackeys
On the morning of March 29th.
Chen Yun and Bai Shi arrived near the Runyang Ferry in Chen Tianyou’s van.
Watching his friends say goodbye one after another and get off the car, Chen Yun looked at his father in the driver’s seat and also smiled to bid farewell.
Although they were taking the ferry and hadn’t left Jiangnan Province yet, they would not return to Runzhou City. They had already booked plane tickets back to Shucheng for the 30th. After spending today in Guangling, they would fly back to Shucheng tomorrow.
Chen Yun exchanged a look with his father.
They didn’t say much more to each other.
After playing with Bai Shi and the others yesterday afternoon and returning home, he had already said goodbye to his younger brother and father once; there was no need for another farewell now.
To put it accurately, it wasn’t a tearful departure, and there was no need for such sentimentality.
After nodding in acknowledgment,
Chen Yun, carrying his only bag of luggage, got off the car with Bai Shi and the others and walked forward.
...
Ferry tickets were not expensive.
If one was just a pedestrian, it would cost only three yuan.
For private cars, it was about 15 yuan, and for vehicles with more seats and larger cargo capacity, the price would increase based on different situations.
In any case, spending five yuan to cross the river by ferry felt about the same as taking a bus.
Once an empty ferry filled up with cars,
The waiting pedestrians were allowed to board.
Just stepping out of the waiting area, one could feel the gentle breeze of the river, mixed with the moist vapor and a faint fishy smell; this was the distinct scent of the Yangtze River.
Chen Yun and his companions walked up the sloped gangway onto the ferry, faintly feeling the unique rocking of the boat on the water.
Perhaps because the river was calm at the moment, or perhaps because the ferry was loaded with vehicles and had enough weight. In any case, the ferry’s rocking was minimal, almost unnoticeable.
They made their way smoothly forward, walking through the flow of cars to the area designated for pedestrians.
The next moment, the ferry set sail!
The roar of the motor, along with the sound of waves slapping against the ship’s hull, truly made one feel harmoniously at one with nature.
Standing on the deck, gazing into the distance, the view was incredibly expansive; the vast expanse of the Yangtze River stretched to the horizon, a majestic and remote scene naturally emerging.
Along the journey, one could appreciate the distinct yet harmoniously coexisting natural landscapes and cultural architectures of both banks.
On one side were the ancient city wall ruins and old pagodas, while on the other was the skyline of a modern metropolis. Between motion and stillness, past and present intertwined, as if narrating the vicissitudes and vibrant life of the Yangtze River Basin.
Without a doubt, if one’s purpose was sightseeing, choosing to cross the Yangtze River by ferry was an extremely wise decision.
The scenery along the way was very nice.
Some people who were taking the ferry for the first time couldn’t help but take out their phones to check in and take photos, including Sun Huwen and Bai Shi, who was accompanying her.
Jiang Anping was trying to mimic Chen Yun by putting his hands in his pockets, but soon was pulled by Sun Huwen to the side to take photos together.
As for Chen Yun, he was standing with his hands in his pockets at the edge of the spacious second-floor deck, quietly looking at the Yangtze River, which seemed so close.
From such proximity,
Even an ordinary person could distinctly feel the vapor hitting their face from time to time and could deeply sense the Yangtze River right under their feet.
For Chen Yun, it was even more different.
The range of his Transparent World Perception of 3.5 within a hundred-meter radius might seem not too large, yet in fact, it was already astonishingly vast.
To put it this way,
Even standing on the ground, Chen Yun could now easily sense people at the height of twenty or thirty floors, knowing exactly what they were doing.
Unknowingly, he had reached such an unfathomable level.
And at that moment, while on the ferry,
He could naturally easily see the bottom of the Yangtze River, observe the riverbed formed over many years by erosion, and the occasional passing fish.
Always being in such a distinct perspective necessarily led to a gradual change in one’s mindset.
Thinking this over,
Chen Yun suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked towards a deserted corner of the ferry, where two men were standing and whispering to each other.
Some key words among their conversation caught by Chen Yun’s always-active Transparent World Perception.
"Qixi City? 26th? Two companions suddenly disappeared?"
Hearing these strongly evocative key words,
Chen Yun immediately intensified his focus on the two men.
One of them was dressed in a dark coat, meticulously tied with a white necktie as if the strictness and calmness of an operating room had been brought into this somewhat worn ferry.
His hands were as delicate as artwork, fingers long and slim.
Relying on their subtle movements and a trace of scent, Chen Yun could tell at a glance that this was likely a surgeon.
The other man had a rugged tough-guy image, wearing a worn black tank top, with bulging muscles on his bare upper arms, every inch of skin as if it were etched with battle scars.
It was his hands that were particularly striking, thick calluses covered the palms and knuckles. Though they were rough and scarred, the fists conveyed a raw, untamed strength, as though they could easily crush any obstacle in their way.
Chen Yun could see at a glance that this man was probably... a boxer?
The two seemingly unrelated men were now together in a deserted corner of the ferry, engaged in conversation.
All around was the distinct bustle of the ferry: the roaring of the engine, the slapping of the rivers water, and the conversation of the passengers, yet they could not penetrate the silent atmosphere of this secluded spot.
