She explained that she didn’t buy the return ticket yesterday, so she stayed in Nansu for another day. She was planning to go back today, but on the way to the airport in the morning, she saw an old man who was lost, and out of kindness, she sent him home.
It was a mixture of truth and falsehood, absurd yet a little credible.
After listening to Lin Qiao’s nonsense, Su Zhengxing was not relieved but even angrier. Even his tone of voice was full of anger, “So where are you now?”
Lin Qiao said timidly: “I… I am at that old man’s house.”
Su Zhengxing was so angry at her that he almost wanted to laugh. An ignorant girl born in the city actually dared to accompany an old country man she had never met to his home in an unfamiliar place.
She really didn’t know how dangerous this society was!
Su Zhengxing lived in the countryside before he was eight years old. He knew it better than anyone else. That seemingly dead and peaceful place actually concealed countless filth and crimes, and women and children were the silent prey there.
Some men will only be honest when they are dead and hung on the wall!
“Send me the location.” Su Zhengxing patiently tried to keep himself calm.
“It’s okay, Mr. Su, I’ll be back in a while.”
Lin Qiao didn’t understand his worries and was still thinking about how to get away with it.
“I said, send me the location!”
Su Zhengxing suddenly raised his voice. His tone was so cold that it made people shiver. Lin Qiao had never seen him so angry before and tremblingly sent the location.
“Don’t hang up the phone, wait for me to come.”
The contract with Dongshan had been signed in the morning, and Qi Yuan could attend the afternoon meeting on his behalf. Su Zhengxing called the driver and rushed in the direction of the location.
“It’s over, it’s over, you’re here to catch me! What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?”
Lin Qiao didn’t dare to hang up the phone and frantically asked for help in her mind.
Su Zhengxing knew that his real self would become suspicious of Lin Qiao’s intentions after meeting Liu Bolu, so they had to complete the task before he arrived and prevent them from meeting.
“Hang up.” Su Zhengxing, in her mind, said in a deep voice.
“But…” Lin Qiao got goosebumps when she thought of his tone on the phone just now.
“If he finds out, you will completely lose his trust, and you will never get the 100 million again.” Su Zhengxing warned her in her consciousness.
Lin Qiao almost cried, thinking, “I’m working for you, aren’t I? Why are you so two-faced?”
There was no other way. For the sake of that 100 million, Lin Qiao had to hang up the phone.
Finding that the call had been hung up, Su Zhengxing, who was sitting in the car and on the way, called again, but this time, Lin Qiao’s phone was turned off.
It would take another two and a half hours to get from the meeting site to Lin Qiao’s location. Su Zhengxing wanted to call the police, but when he took a closer look at the address on the location, he suddenly realized something.
If he remembered correctly, Liu Bolu seemed to live in this village, right?
Minghong just released the news of technical cooperation with Dongshan yesterday. He was about to invite Liu Bolu to come out of the mountain when Lin Qiao appeared here.
Was it a coincidence or a premeditated plan?
Thinking of this, Su Zhengxing deleted the police number from his phone.
Green Home is a confidential project, and it is impossible for Zhao Yudong to have access to it with his level of competence.
But Lin Qiao appears at this address. Could there be someone else behind her?
