Rebirth of Chen An

Chapter 18

With less flabs on his face, subtle contours on his face could finally be seen. He and Chen Yang are truly worthy of being called relatives; a mild resemblance in the brow could be observed with closer examination.

And as though the thought suddenly occurred to him, Chen An slowly removed his braces. Instantly, his agreeable appearance was elevated by several degrees. No matter how great a person’s facial features look, if their teeth are ugly, the overall appearance would inevitably suffer.

Chen An isn’t really a vain person; he just believed that for a person who can’t control their own weight or general hygiene, they no doubt lack complete control over their own life and career. Such a person need not be inept; they are merely not worthy for Chen An to either associate with or trust.

After spending the night in the hotel, Chen An joined the tour group to begin their tour of this beautiful place renowned for its stunning natural scenery.

While he travelled around and enjoyed himself in the tour group, Chen An secretly made contact with a buyer. His true purpose here wasn’t to take a holiday but to complete a transaction in Vietnam.

Fortunately, buyers and sellers typically communicate via unique codes that outsiders cannot crack easily. Hence, even if he is no longer Chen Zhang An, it serves little deterrence to his continued business in arms trafficking.

Besides, no one knows the true identity of the person behind the moniker 'Lao Zi’*.

There is only a river dividing the estuary to Yunnan and Vietnam. After the tour group had travelled within Yunnan for several days, they will then transit to Vietnam where they will have five days free at leisure before returning to Shanghai by boat at Halong Bay, Vietnam.

Five days is sufficient time for Chen An.
