Chen Xin's trip this time was not deliberately to antagonize the special forces protecting him or to express a desire for unrestrained freedom.
Although there might be a hint of that sentiment, the primary reason was indeed that Chen Xin had some things he wanted to handle outside.
With Chen Xin having attained the status of an academician, and with a research base being constructed outside his refuge, the original deal he had with the city's SWAT team naturally couldn't proceed further.
It's not that Chen Xin was unwilling to continue providing vegetables and fruits for the SWAT team, but under the current circumstances, their transactions had become awkward.
Therefore, Chen Xin's outing this time was to discuss with the SWAT team how to handle this situation.
Escorted by armored vehicles and special forces, Chen Xin and his entourage went not to the city bureau, but to the city government.
