After placing the phone in Ji Zhinan's hand, Gu Yibei and his group left.
Ji Zhinan stood there for a while, then looked down and opened his phone; the screen was still showing the call log.
The most recent call was two minutes ago, the name was Gu Yibei.
…………
Gu Yibei leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
He felt as if he were back in time, sitting in Ji Zhinan's car, with the clear sound of gunshots still ringing in his ears.
Ji Zhinan's face flashed before my eyes; she was focused on driving, her thin lips slightly pursed, not smiling.
"I understand," Shirakawa whispered in the passenger seat before hanging up the phone.
He secretly glanced at Gu Yibei, who had his eyes closed, through the rearview mirror, hesitating whether or not he should speak.
"Have they caught him?"
Inside the car, Gu Yibei opened his eyes, his deep black pupils cold and indifferent, his voice devoid of emotion.
“Yes, sir.” Shirakawa nodded immediately. “Our men have taken them all under control. Although we haven’t gotten anything out of them yet, our men have noticed that they have a Y country accent. As expected, they are probably from Trod’s group.”
Besides Beijing, Gu Yibei has businesses and influence in many countries.
A tall tree catches the wind, and naturally, there will be envious people.
The Trod mentioned by Shirakawa is a man from country Y. He was unhappy that Gu Yibei had snatched a big business deal from him, so he sent someone to the capital to assassinate Gu Yibei.
Tonight, Gu Yibei was driving himself when he noticed someone following him. He immediately called Bai Chuan and briefly explained the situation.
To prevent innocent people from being implicated, he drove the car to a secluded spot where no one else passed by.
Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Gu Yibei's eyes.
"I don't want to hear that name again."
Shirakawa trembled and silently lit three incense sticks for Trod.
Offending Mr. Gu is tantamount to sending yourself to your death.
"Yes, sir."
"And another thing." Putting away his fierce aura, Gu Yibei said calmly, "Another hundred million for that oil field in ZN."
"..."
Fortunately, Bai Chuan had seen a lot of the world with Gu Yibei, so he wasn't scared.
However, there was definitely some surprise.
Thinking of Ji Zhinan in the driver's seat of the sports car earlier, Gu Yibei understood what Gu Yibei meant.
Shirakawa nodded: "Yes, sir."
…………
Ji Zhinan also recalled the night of the crazy car chase. The man in the passenger seat was as cold as ice, remaining calm even in the face of life and death.
The scene then shifts to him snatching her phone and leaving his number. His dark eyes stare at her intently, as if trying to penetrate her soul through her eyes.
"Nan Nan!"
Upon hearing Xing Fei's voice, Ji Zhinan suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing the half-opened documents on the table, she belatedly realized that she had actually fallen asleep.
Ji Zhinan rubbed his temples wearily.
Xing Fei pushed open the door to the office and poked her head in. Seeing Ji Zhinan looking tired, she came in, closed the door, and asked him with concern.
Did I disturb your rest?
"No." Ji Zhinan opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Why are you here?"
Xing Fei pulled out the chair opposite Ji Zhinan and sat down, resting her elbows on the table and supporting her chin with her hand: "It's Sunday today, and school doesn't start until tomorrow. I was bored at home, so I came to find you to hang out."
Thinking of something, she made a bitter face again: "I went to see my dad just now, but his secretary wouldn't let me in, saying that my dad is too busy to even glance at me."
