It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't looked, but once he did, Xu Wenbin's expression immediately turned serious.
Yang Yajing might not understand, or she might only know that the person was doing something bad under the car, but Xu Wenbin, who had been driving for decades, knew what he was doing.
He could tell at a glance that the car's brake hydraulic pressure had been cut off. And the nameplate he could see through the car window bore his name.
"Is he out of his mind?" Xu Wenbin was very confused. "Won't he be in the car himself?"
"Uncle Xu, have you offended someone?" Yang Yajing asked casually.
Xu Wenbin was expected to say that it was not true, but in fact, he did not answer and fell into thought.
"So you really offended someone?" Yang Yajing was surprised.
"Some things are complicated, it's better if you don't know," Xu Wenbin shook his head. "What do we do now?"
“Uncle Xu, didn’t I kidnap you? Of course, we’re going to use a switcheroo!” Yang Yajing said proudly.
"Switching the beams and pillars? You still want him to drive that car? Something bad will happen! It's a matter of life and death!" Xu Wenbin said worriedly.
"They don't even know you and they're already trying to harm you. Why do you care if they live or die? Are you just bored?" Yang Yajing rolled her eyes.
Having spent so many years struggling in the wolf's den, Xu Wenbin was certainly no saint. He hesitated for a moment before accepting the situation.
"How are you going to switch the beams and pillars?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"Everything's been arranged! But..."
"But what?"
"Uncle Xu, you'll have to make a sacrifice."
"Hmm?" Xu Wenbin squinted.
"Uncle Xu, you should get a new phone!" After saying that, Yang Yajing took out a travel SIM card she had bought in the airport lobby and waved it in front of Xu Wenbin.
"What is this...?" Xu Wenbin, who had always kept roaming on, had never paid attention to these things before.
"Uncle Xu, how about we donate the phone?" Yang Yajing stretched out her hand and tilted her head.
Since he had already decided to listen to Yang Yajing, Xu Wenbin did as she said. It was just a cell phone; there was nothing to be reluctant about.
Yang Yajing removed the back cover of his phone, changed the SIM card, and led Xu Wenbin to the car.
Xu Wenbin noticed there was another person sitting in the car and tugged at Yang Yajing: "Someone's here!"
"Relax!" Yang Yajing opened the car door smoothly. "It's a dummy!"
Seeing the mannequin wrapped up tightly in the back seat, it could fool Xu Wenbin, and probably it could also fool the driver, right?
"You little rascal! You've got so many tricks up your sleeve! Where did you get those fake people? Was this all premeditated?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"I just borrowed a mannequin from the back of the factory car!" Yang Yajing said as she dialed the number on her phone. After the call connected, she turned the speakerphone to the maximum and put the phone into the mannequin's shirt pocket.
“Uncle Xu, here, take the phone and sit in that chair over there. When he arrives, just tell him what we were saying and let him go, that's all.” Yang Yajing handed the phone to Xu Wenbin and waved her hand. “I'm going fishing?”
Back in the arrivals hall, Yang Yajing deliberately stood next to the man and then feigned surprise: "Hey! Why are you still waiting? You're the driver of that car from earlier, right?"
"Why is it you again? Didn't I tell you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yajing interrupted him: "A rich person just got into the back seat of your car. He's probably from the south and gets cold easily, because he was all bundled up as soon as he got in."
"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment, then ignored Yang Yajing, threw down the sign, and ran out.
Xu Wenbin, who was waiting not far away, saw the man run towards the Audi and put his phone to his ear.
The man looked through the window into the back seat to make sure someone was there before opening the car door and getting into the driver's seat.
"Assistant Xu?" the man asked, not forgetting to confirm.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's freezing cold. Turn on the heater and let's get to the hotel as soon as possible. Drive!" Xu Wenbin deliberately used a harsh tone.
The driver glanced furtively at the back seat in the rearview mirror. Perhaps feeling guilty, he didn't turn around, but instead started the car, turned the air conditioning on full blast, and left the parking area.
"It's all done!" Xu Wenbin hung up the phone and saw Yang Yajing come out, so he handed the phone back to her.
"Take me to the hotel!" Xu Wenbin said, picking up his luggage.
"Oh dear! We finally managed to rescue you, why are you in such a hurry to go to the hotel? Are you waiting to be caught by your boss and forced to work? Let's go eat something delicious first!"
As if afraid that Xu Wenbin would stand her up, Yang Yajing took his suitcase and walked towards the parking lot.
"This girl!" Xu Wenbin shook his head helplessly and followed.
After driving out, they didn't look for food first, but instead parked in a department store.
"Why are you at the mall if you didn't want to eat something?" Xu Wenbin asked, puzzled.
"Uncle Xu! Are you planning to just disappear forever? Buy a cell phone!" Yang Yajing wondered if Xu Wenbin was getting old and his memory was failing.
But what she didn't know was that he always had his secretary handle trivial matters like buying a phone; he'd never bought one himself before. And even at shopping malls, aside from research, he'd probably never really gone for a proper shopping trip.
But since we're already here, let's just do it!
That brick-making machine has been used for two years; it's time to replace it!
"Uncle Xu, you don't need the money, do you?" Yang Yajing asked Xu Wenbin, pointing to the latest flip-phone Motorola.
“Just buy whichever one works well! Money isn’t an issue.” Xu Wenbin nodded.
Upon receiving the phone, Xu Wenbin immediately unpacked it, inserted the SIM card, and tried to turn it on.
"Wait! Don't turn it on yet! Let the bad guys have some fun!" Yang Yajing stopped him from turning it on.
