The guard stood behind him. This guard was no ordinary guard; he knew about Chen Ran's fake death. To be privy to such a secret, he could not be just any guard.
It was evident that this guard was someone trusted by Chen Jianxin, someone absolutely reliable.
This guard's surname was Chen, and his name was Yi.
Though his surname was Chen, the same as Chen Ran's, he was not a member of the Chen Family, nor was he entirely unrelated, as there was no blood connection.
Chen Yi was an orphan taken in by Chen Ran, and eventually, Chen Jian meticulously groomed him, turning him into Chen Jian's confidant. Although adopted, he was effectively no different from family.
Chen Yi's abilities were unmistakable within the Chen Family. All the family's guards obeyed his commands.
"Young Master, everything is arranged," said Chen Yi.
Chen Jian nodded, turned, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"What about the coffin?" Chen Jian asked.
