It seems like he is looking for someone.
When his eyes met hers, he immediately walked over.
Jiang Lai turned and ran.
She set up an emergency number and frantically pressed the power button five times.
But Ruan Nanzhi was on the plane and couldn't receive her call.
The airport police arrived fairly quickly.
But he was stopped outside the cafe by bodyguards in black.
Jiang Lai couldn't help but exclaim.
It seems to be a tough guy.
She took this opportunity to call Chi Zhan.
As soon as the call was connected, the bodyguards dispersed.
She saw a familiar face coming towards her.
"Sister-in-law, please hand over Ji Jin."
"Jiang Lai?"
Hearing Chi Zhan calling her on the other end of the phone, Jiang Lai replied, "I thought it was... Mr. Huo. It's okay, don't worry."
Chi Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll be right there."
"No need, Mr. Huo won't do anything to me. Aren't you busy? Stop it."
Chi Zhan knew best what kind of person Huo Qinghuai was.
Especially now that he still can't find his wife, he doesn't care about his relatives.
He was worried.
"It's nearby."
Jiang Lai wanted to say something when the call was hung up. She put away her phone and smiled politely at Huo Qinghuai.
"You can check the surveillance. I came to the airport to pick up my friend. I've been sitting here the whole time and haven't seen Sister Ji Jin."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surveillance footage was delivered to Huo Qinghuai.
After he finished reading it, his brows furrowed deeply.
There was no trace of Ji Jin in any of the surveillance footage.
As she said, Jiang Lai had been in the coffee shop and had not met Ji Jin.
Surveillance footage outside the airport is also being checked.
Huo Qinghuai was about to ask a question when Chi Zhan hurried over and stood in front of Jiang Lai.
"She was with me all night and just left for the airport. She had no chance of helping your wife escape."
Huo Qinghuai saw beads of sweat on his forehead.
I'm sweating in this weather, I guess it's from running.
There was a lot of traffic jam near the airport due to inspection.
Huo Qinghuai was not very happy that he cared so much.
If Jiang Lai helped Ji Jin, he might not stand on his side.
"I can't miss any possibility."
Chi Zhan: "I understand, but she really didn't do anything and didn't know anything about it."
Jiang Lai also noticed the sweat on Chi Zhan's face and took a tissue to wipe it off for him.
Chi Zhan held her hand and said, "Go to Nanzhi, you have nothing to do here."
The time had not yet come, but Jiang Lai knew it was not a good idea for her to stay here alone, so she nodded, picked up her bag and left.
But when he reached the door, he hesitated and came back.
She said to Huo Qinghuai: "You are a high-ranking official, but power cannot control love. This will only push her further away."
Huo Qinghuai didn't like what he heard, and his voice became cold when he spoke again.
"If Chi Zhan doesn't bother you, can you two reconcile?"
Chi Zhan walked by and said unhappily: "Your situation is different from ours, you deserve it."
“…”
"Sir, it seems we have found Madam's whereabouts."
Huo Qinghuai immediately took his men away.
The coffee shop instantly returned to its previous quiet state.
The few customers and the waiters in the coffee shop breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Lai pulled Chi Zhan to sit down and ordered him a cup of coffee.
"Thank you for coming here, Mr. Chi."
Chi Zhan was instantly delighted, took a sip of coffee and said, "You're welcome."
Jiang Lai couldn't help gossiping, "That..."
She gave him a big smile and said, "You understand."
Chi Zhan nodded, "I understand."
He put down his coffee cup, stood up, and sat next to her instead of across from her. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "What's the reward?"
Jiang Lai glared at him, "You are too profit-oriented, Mr. Chi, can't you exchange everything for knowledge?"
"You are supposed to tell me something I want to know, but you can't ask for payment. Understand?"
"I understand." Chi Zhan seemed to understand, and after saying that, he picked up the coffee and drank it, without any intention of talking.
Jiang Lai waited for a while and realized something was wrong.
She glared at him again, "You won't tell me if I don't get paid, right?"
Chi Zhan's lips curled into a faint smile, "I don't know, how to say it?"
Girl, you start pretending again.
Jiang Lai gritted his teeth and said, "You have such a brain, use it more to serve the people, don't use it on me."
Chi Zhan hummed, "Are you a member of the people?"
"Then I am sure."
“Are you satisfied with my service?”
“…”
"Please give me a 10 if you are satisfied. I will continue to work hard."
“…”
Jiang Lai didn't want to talk to him anymore. "It's boring."
She stood up to leave, but Chi Zhan grabbed her wrist.
"Not curious anymore?"
"No, that's strange."
My teeth are almost broken.
Chi Zhan found it funny and didn't know why she was so keen on gossip.
"Can I ask for a small reward?"
Jiang Lai was happy in her heart, but she said, "It depends on your performance."
"Isn't my performance good enough?"
“…”
He reflected to himself, "Then I should have performed better tonight."
"Chi Zhan!"
Jiang Lai couldn't help but roar, attracting surprised and dissatisfied looks from others.
She smiled and apologized, "Sorry, sorry."
Chi Zhan felt that she was about to get angry, so he stopped teasing her.
"Ji Jin was taken back to the Huo family's old house by Huo Qinghuai for dinner yesterday and stayed overnight."
"Isn't it one of those clichéd plots?"
Chi Zhan nodded, "I guess so."
"The Huo family didn't want them to divorce, but Ji Jin insisted. Huo Qinghuai had been indifferent for a few days, and the Huo family knew they were in the wrong, so they had to find a way to reconcile them."
Jiang Lai felt sorry for Ji Jin, "Power really is the root of all evil."
"Sarcastic me?"
"Please don't take it personally, Mr. Chi."
It's just a satire on him.
Chi Zhan couldn't possibly argue with her, so he continued, "Nothing was done, we were just locked up in a bedroom."
"Don't look at Huo Qinghuai's fuss over her. He's in a high position and very powerful, but in fact, he won't force Ji Jin in this regard."
Jiang Lai's eyes turned playful. "You really should learn from him on this point."
“…”
Chi Zhan laughed angrily, "I didn't ignore you or treat you coldly. Instead, you treated me coldly. If I hadn't forced you, you wouldn't have known that you were having a hot affair with that brother."
Jiang Lai immediately retorted, "But you are wavering between two women."
“…”
Chi Zhan almost forgot about this.
The thing with Luo Nanqing was really a hurdle.
"I'm sorry about this. If you're unhappy, you can punish me and I'll bear it."
Jiang Lai was not polite then, "Not for a month..."
Chi Zhan covered her mouth and said, "Change it."
Jiang Lai shook his head, his eyes full of evil smiles.
She pushed his hand away and said, "Don't go back on your word, or I'll get angry and the consequences will be serious."
“…”
Chi Zhan coughed twice and forcibly changed the subject.
"Time is up."
Jiang Lai glanced at his watch and tutted, "You feel guilty."
"No."
Chi Zhan was defeated and hugged her, rubbing his face in the crook of her neck.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
“Who made me do something wrong?”
Jiang Lai was satisfied and turned the topic back to the past. "Why did Ji Jin come out?"
Chi Zhan was about to speak when his cell phone rang.
Huo Qinghuai called.
"Wen Zhaoqing is here."
