Rebirth Of Chen An

Chapter 168: Civilian Life

Translator: Flying Lines

Except for the fact that both he and Ding Sheng remembered what happened during the time they were unconscious, there was another piece of evidence: Chen An’s phone.

When he charged it and turned it back on, Chen An saw the pictures he took along the way, including pictures of the Prince and others that he took without them knowing it.

The images were not very clear, but they were quite enough for Chen An.

After spending a month in the hospital in a coma and another half month to recuperate, Chen An was basically recovered.

For the past days, he had led a tranquil life. In the morning, he did rehabilitative training under professional guidance. Then he would go out for a walk accompanied by Chen Yang or someone else, and feed the swans in the lake on his way. These leisurely days, surprisingly made Chen An feel quite fulfilled.

Even though in the past, a retired life like this was totally out of the question for Chen An; he’d never believe he would like such a calm, uneventful life.

“I’ve committed more than my fair share of crimes in my previous life; it hurt those around me as well as myself.”

Standing beside the window, Chen An drew the curtains apart and looked outside. It was totally dark except for several shimmering lamplights in the distance. He then said to the young man beside him: “Lu Feng, after I woke up this time, I made a decision: I’m leaving my old trade. I won’t order you to do anything, but as your mentor, I hope you can also change your way of life somewhat.”

These words were put mildly and sounded entirely polite, but if one comes to think about it, the determination contained was apparent.

What Chen An was actually saying was: boy, give up your old ways if you want to stick with me, otherwise stop bothering me. And this is not a suggestion or a request, it is an order!

Lu Feng, who saw Chen An as his north, south, east and west, was in no way going to leave Chen An because of an issue of business. Chen An was only asking him to get out of an old trade; he could ask Lu Feng to turn into an angel and the latter would not have refused.

“An, I know what to do.” Lu Feng nodded in an earnestly manner like a kid in kindergarten nodding at his teacher’s words.

Now the former lord of crimes was now smiling like a cute, white rabbit. If Lu Feng’ subordinates had chanced to come in and saw this, they would probably fall to the floor in shock and mutter to themselves: this is not real! It is an illusion!

Illusion or not, when Chen An told Ding Sheng his decision over the phone the other day, the young man, who was justice incarnate and previously regarded him as a personal affront, a thorn in his flesh, made a sharp turn in his attitude, and addressed Chen An as “Uncle Chen” enthusiastically.

If it wasn’t for his family’s constant surveillance, Ding Sheng would probably have flown to see Chen An much sooner.

As for Lu Feng, Chen An felt no need to worry. He knew the young man well, and therefore did not doubt either his determination or his ability to turn the Brothers Group into a legal business. Admittedly, there would be some objections from inside the Group, but one could never hope to gain the support of everyone.

If they wanted to switch to something else, they would inevitably touch upon someone’s vested interest. The solution was simple: if a person did not want to stay, he could leave. Chen An and Lu Feng would give them the choice.

As for their future business, Chen An had come up with something, too. When they stop selling weapons, they could run an international consulting service, and do things like offerring security consulting for companies. It was more or less related to what they did, but they would be a lawful company, and precedents of such companies was not hard to find.
