Chapter 1924 - 1924: 1924

Liu Zhizhong insisted, and Gu Changsha and He Fangde had no choice but to acquiesce.

Moreover, the two promised not to secretly deploy security or secretly notify local reception.

Chi Zhongshui and the accompanying personnel also received fake ID cards guaranteed by Zhang Ru to facilitate their travel needs.

Fake ID cards guaranteed in disguise?

This saying?

Hmm, it's true...

Of course, once Liu Zhizhong finishes the visit, he still appears to be heading back to the country first.

Gu Changsha still led a group of bigshots to the airport with a warm send-off and farewell, showcasing the new progress in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

In reality, it's just the vice president and some others returning.

Liu Zhizhong had three private jets, all taking off at that time, but do you know which one he's actually on?

The airport farewell is just a ceremony, also a guise.

None of Liu Zhizhong's three private jets had him but they still took off.

The accompanying reporters and the journalists from Great East Pot only captured the farewell ceremony, but couldn't shoot the subsequent changes nor spread them indiscriminately due to professional rules and confidentiality agreements.

Thus, after completing the photo ritual of boarding and waving goodbye, Liu Zhizhong directly exited the plane through the cargo hold hatch, with a loyal security guard.

Once the jet fleet took off, he and the guard boarded another ordinary civilian flight, departing with a group of passengers delayed by two hours.

At this time, Liu Zhizhong no longer looked like Chi Zhongshui but rather a regular young man. Modern craftsmanship made a bio-mimicry face mask fit snugly and look so realistic!

Of course, this face comes with an ID card and passport.

Gu Changsha could get such documents for the two with ease, right? Haha...

At the same time, they carried guns. They took these when departing from the Wale Republic, which was agreed upon beforehand.

Because Liu Zhizhong had said if they don't allow me to bring guns, I won't visit Great East Pot.

Additionally, Gu Changsha promised that President Chi could travel freely in Great East Pot territory without any forces tailing him; he was completely free.

Just please let President Chi give him a call when leaving, that's all.

After all, Gu Changsha needs to determine his visit to Wale based on Liu Zhizhong's return time.

And accompanying Liu Zhizhong on the private undercover visit to the old country is none other than Comrade Wen Bao, haha...

The two were quite excited and sentimental as they disguised themselves to visit their homeland.

Their first stop was following the plane's landing at the Changjiang City airport.

This is quite a large airport, covering several developed areas.

Their destination left Gu Changsha, He Fangde, and their peers scratching their heads, unable to fathom why they chose Changjiang City as their first stop.

Changjiang City lies along the dividing line between Northern and Southern regions, leaning slightly towards the Southern side, and has a large river flowing into the sea, making its economy quite developed.

Though, in terms of economic development, Changjiang City doesn't rank in the top 20 in Great East Pot.

Its cultural landscapes aren't particularly noteworthy either. Surely, Chi Zhongshui and Director Wen Yuluo didn't come to see the three influencer bridges spanning the river, did they?

Those influencer bridges aren't anything special either, merely a product of major infrastructure achievements. At night, when the decorative lights on the bridge turn on, they look quite beautiful.

Unable to solve the mystery, they just stopped trying.

Gu Changsha could only tell his colleagues: "We old folks can't grasp the ideas of young ones, haha! Let them be, whether they live or die, it has nothing to do with us."

He Fangde said: "They have guns, it's no big deal. If anything happens, just report their ID, and the system will automatically alert the local police."

Indeed, that's how the arrangement was. If Liu Zhizhong and his companion faced major issues like robbery or fights, upon entering the ID number, there'll be a prompt: "This person is the President of the Wale Republic, visiting Great East Pot discreetly. Please ensure presidential treatment with no errors!"

Regarding Wen Bao, the designation as the vice director of Wale Republic's National Security Bureau posed no issues either.

So, Gu Changsha and his company couldn't not track them. But unless something happened, they were too lazy to bother about the two, allowing them freedom!

Rejecting top-tier treatment for a lone travel companionship, who can blame them?

Some people's realm, destined to be beyond some people's understanding.

Some are meant to relish superiority and exceptional comforts, while others just want to experience the ordinary and mundane.

Of course, if Liu Zhizhong and his friend remain incident-free, once Liu Zhizhong calls Gu Changsha, saying he's returning to Wale, their IDs and passports become invalid.

However, the passport doesn't have a special setup, just a regular passport. Though, the ID system has special settings.

Later, it's easy for them to depart back to Wale using the passport.

Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao landed at Changjiang near noon.

Seeing Wen Bao's expression, Liu Zhizhong chuckled quietly as they exited the airport: "Brother Wen, the longing to see your mother is strong, let's hurry and see if we can have her pancakes tonight?"

"Haha, yes, I miss home..." Wen Bao nodded, gazing up at the clear blue sky, tears almost brimming in his eyes.

"Brother Liu, it's been years... so many years... this is the first time I've come back so openly, finally seeing my mom..."

"Haha, how is this open and legitimate? Our faces don't match. Keep it low-key! You're still a wanted man in your hometown."

"Uh, haha... fine fine, a wanted man becoming an official isn't unheard of. Thanks, Brother Liu!"

"You're welcome, don't forget where you came from, haha..."

"..."

The pair gradually disappeared from the airport exit, chatting in dialect-accented Mandarin.

Half an hour later, they boarded a luxury bus heading to a neighboring city of Changjiang.

Three hours later, they arrived at the neighboring city, then took a five-hour train ride, opting for a relatively slow general through train.

When the train reached its stop, it was a remote small station, with only a few passengers getting off.

Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao were among those few, haha...

The night deepened, outside the train station, there were few taxis soliciting passengers, though there were some black-market motorbike taxis.

A driver approached to offer a ride, but Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao declined, as Wen Bao led Liu Zhizhong along the decrepit concrete path next to the railway line.

Their hometown was six or seven kilometers ahead, nestled in a small valley beyond the railway.

According to Wen Bao, this method truly felt like a way home. Because years ago, he had followed an uncle from a neighboring village along this path to the train station, then took the train to start his journey of escape overseas...
