Capítulo 512: XIU, I'm Leaving

Halfway through the journey, He Juan unknowingly drifted off to a restless sleep due to the accumulated pain and exhaustion, and it was not until Chen Youzhi called him that he jolted awake. 

"Hmm?" The haziness in his eyes quickly dissipated and was replaced with alertness as he peered out of the window, recognizing the familiar seascape. "Have we arrived?" he asked with a tinge of hoarseness in his voice. 

He attempted to straighten himself up, only to freeze when a searing pain shot through his back from where it had been pressed against the unforgiving leather seat. He gritted his teeth, his knuckles whitening as he endured it all without showing any discomfort on his face. Glancing at the time, he noticed that more than an hour had passed since he had accidentally fallen asleep. An hour! He Juan could not believe this. As far as he could remember, he had never allowed himself to doze off inside the car, as he needed to stay vigilant against potential threats.
