Take him home

Chen Xiaojing landed just two hours later.

Wang Bo had been waiting at the J country airport for a long time. When he saw her come out, he waved high and gestured for her to follow him.

"how's it going."

“It’s interesting, during the two hours you were on the plane, J country went almost crazy. The number of life-saving vaccines was limited, and the stock market kept going up and up, it was impossible to estimate the value.” Wang Bo simply told her, “Your identity is special. After you enter the country, don’t reveal that you are from the Shangshui Luoying incident. Even if the government intervenes, we can’t protect you.”

“I know.” Chen Xiaojing got into Wang Bo’s company car. “Let’s go to the company first, and we can talk about the rest in the car.”

Wang Bo, sitting in the passenger seat, said, "We received news from R country that Fu Huanian, the head of drug development, said that the first batch of people who received the vaccine without prior observation are expected to develop symptoms in the next day or two." He paused for a moment, "Park has already found out where Professor Zhang is being held, not far from the airport, regarding the one million you gave us."

If she wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible for her to forcibly take people away.

The car pulled into the underground parking garage, and Wang Bo and she got out. He led her upstairs to the president's office. As the elevator ascended, Chen Xiaojing stood sideways inside, her slightly weathered face reflected in the light.

"Mr. Wang, Manager Zhou from HW called. Shangshui Luoying has come to Japan, and the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people in China has surged. Now the whole internet is boycotting Japan's tourism industry." As soon as Wang Bo stepped out of the elevator, a group of people surrounded him and asked him to sign something. "Mr. Wang, a street protest just broke out. The accountant suggested bribing marketing accounts to spread the news."

...

"Let me escort our esteemed guest to his office first!" As soon as Wang Bo spoke, the crowd automatically split into two lines, leaving a clear path.

The two entered the office, where Park had clearly been waiting for some time.

"Oh, a great writer."

"Mr. President, it's been a long time."

Chen Xiaojing put her bag on the desk, pulled up a chair and sat down: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright, it's what we should do! Professor Zhang represents our country, and the people of R should strive for R." Park poured her a cup of tea. "Negotiations with the J country government will definitely take time. Should we just kidnap him?"

"The sooner the better."

"Understood. We'll both go with you then, and once we bring the person back, we'll head straight to the airport to catch the plane."

Chen Xiaojing looked up from her tea: "You're so capable now? You can just board a plane whenever you want."

Park waved his hand casually, and the screen behind him automatically switched to a flight route map from Country J to Country R: "That's your problem. Who said you have to go back to City B? Country R has so many big cities with routes. Just pick a less popular one, add a little money, and you'll definitely get it."

Domestic transit is obviously much safer.

A WeChat profile picture of Zhou Chenjin popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen. Park answered the call, and Manager Zhou's face automatically appeared on the big screen.

"Xiaojing has arrived? That's good. Remember to post your itinerary on Weibo. Huawei is monitoring your vital signs the whole time."

"Oh right."

Chen Xiaojing stepped out of her office and posted on Weibo, which received an overwhelming response, with several comments appearing almost instantly.

She wasn't in the mood to look, so she switched to her phone's navigation app and entered the location of the villa where Zhang Renyin was being held captive, which Wang Bo had sent her.

Ten kilometers.

It's only ten kilometers away.

Chen Xiaojing took a deep breath, composed her facial expression, and then went back into the office.

Zhou Chenjin seemed to be discussing some professional topic with Park, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense even through the screen. The two stopped talking as soon as Chen Xiaojing entered.

"Don't worry about me, just say it."

Zhou Chenjin looked at her and said, "Xiaojing, your identity has been exposed."

Chen Xiaojing's expression was surprisingly calm: "What, does the J country government know that I am Shangshui Luoying, and now they want to issue a warrant for my arrest?"

“It’s not so much an arrest warrant. You entered the country legally and didn’t do anything illegal or criminal, so they have no reason to arrest you.” Zhou Chenjin emphasized the following sentence, “But they can keep you there forever without anyone noticing.”

"be safe."

“I know,” she said. “Ah Jin, let’s proceed as planned.”

Zhou Chenjin, who was far away in R country, nodded. A second before hanging up the video call, Chen Xiaojing saw the worry in her eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chenjin leaned back, her head supported by the office chair.

"Serse, it's me."

As the chair turned, Fu Huanian, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, appeared at the door of her half-open office.

"Come in."

Fu Huanian closed the door for her and sat on the sofa in Zhou Chenjin's office, which was used to receive guests: "I came to see if there was anything I could do to help. Anyway, the vaccine development has come to an end."

“No need for that.” Zhou Chenjin’s concern for Chen Xiaojing was not diminished in the slightest by Fu Huanian’s arrival. “I’m just worried about whether she can come back safely.”

"She'll be fine," Fu Huanian comforted her. "Your two high school classmates have achieved so much in a foreign country, they must be really capable. Xiaojing will be alright."

He seemed to suddenly realize something: "Right, if they do this, the company is definitely going to go under. So many employees, have you thought about their future?"

Zhou Chenjin was taken aback; she hadn't considered that.

Just as I was pondering what to do, Wu Hengyan opened the door and came in: "No need to consider this. Manager Zhou has met some of the bosses at the banquet where Miss Shangshui Luoying signed the contract last time. They gave me face and are willing to temporarily accept them."

“Mr. Wu…” Zhou Chenjin stood up, wanting to say something, “How can a company have so many positions…”

"Manager Zhou has met them; there are many CEOs there. Once they're distributed among the staff, it should be enough. I think a company should be able to accommodate more people."

With Wu Hengyan's promise, Zhou Chenjin stopped worrying and her heart was finally at ease when Zhang Jiayao rushed in: "J country reported that some people have had adverse reactions to the vaccine!"

So fast!
