Preparing an escape plan
"What? You're saying Song Yize was burned to death?"
"Yes, it is said that the fire was so fierce that they were unable to escape."
How many people were there together?
"There are three. The three of them in their lab."
The man stopped speaking.
"You suspect—that this is a scam?"
"A fire, and just right, three people died. Don't you think that's too suspicious?"
"If it was done by foreigners, then it would be understandable."
Indeed, the idea of precisely targeting someone to cause death is plausible.
but……
"Where are the others?"
"They are currently housed in another sanatorium, which is said to be owned by another competitor company."
"I guess he's using this momentum to promote himself." The man thought for a moment, then asked, "What was Fan Tianqi's reaction?"
"They're said to be furious."
"Ha, let him taste the bitterness of defeat, and he'll be all high and mighty like someone owes him eight million."
Has a decision been made yet?
"The police have closed the case and said they have found the person responsible for the arson."
"Something terrible has happened!"
"How many times have I told you, don't be so flustered." The man went up and kicked the person running towards him in the shin.
A person nearby, rubbing their leg, stood up straight and reported, "The person upstairs has been taken away. The police say the person upstairs will be accused of ordering someone to set fire."
"This...this...this..."
"What should we do?!"
"What's the panic! It's obvious someone's framing us."
"Who dares to frame us!"
"Could it be someone from Huang Zhong's side?"
"Huang Zhongqian has been arrested by us."
"Oh right, who could it be?"
"Don't panic. Maybe they're just waiting for us to panic so they can take the bait. They'll release him without evidence."
"What if someone insists it is true?"
"That still needs to be based on evidence!"
"Evidence? Don't you see any evidence? You've never talked about evidence before."
"This is……"
A sound that shouldn't have been there suddenly rang out in the room.
Everyone looked up and was dumbfounded.
"you……"
Before anyone could finish speaking, the person behind him stood up and stepped forward, saying, "Old Huang, how have you been?"
Huang Zhongqian walked over steadily, but in reality, he did not shake the hand that was being offered to him.
Instead, he turned around and looked at everyone present.
"Were you surprised by my appearance?"
No one dared to utter a word; their sullen mouths seemed to express the painful thoughts they were experiencing.
"Actually, you don't need to hide it anymore. I've already figured this out. I'm not here to cause trouble today. We've both put in a lot of effort. Why don't we put aside our grudges, shake hands, and cooperate?"
No one present expected that this person would say such a thing. They all looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
"That depends on how sincere you are." The person who had just extended his hand turned around and walked over.
"I came here with great sincerity, but everyone's opinion on this matter is very important."
As he spoke, he continued to scan the crowd with his gaze.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Huang is seeking?"
“State your purpose and see if we have any common interests. If we do, we can cooperate; if not, we can stop.”
"Then why don't you tell us your thoughts, Mr. Huang?"
Huang Zhongqian smiled, found a chair and sat down. "Our idea is very simple: in the future, humanity will migrate to outer space. That's our idea."
"So, are you planning to cooperate between nations, or with extraterrestrial forces?"
The man didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.
"We can reach a consensus. We'll deploy our fleets in unison, with our side cooperating with foreign powers and your side cooperating with space powers. On the surface, we'll both project an image of cooperation with space powers, and we can also declare to the outside world that if any power attempts to destroy humanity during the spaceflight, we will annihilate it. What do you think?"
The person opposite smiled knowingly. "Really?"
"I have absolutely no complaints."
As Huang Zhongqian spoke, he extended his hand to the person opposite him.
In an instant, a pair of hands covered it.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
The person waiting to be released on bail walked out in shackles.
The way this person walked out startled Huang Zhongqian, and his heart skipped a beat.
"So, they didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
Huang Zhongqian's voice trembled slightly, sounding more like a sound emanating from his entire body than from his voice.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
A brief silence.
Do you know who did it?
"Although we have a numerical advantage, very few of our men are capable of saving the day in critical moments. I already know the gist of it."
"So, what are your plans next?"
Xiao Zhang's voice sounded a little weak. He coughed slightly, then picked up the water on the table next to him and took a small sip to moisten his throat.
"At this point, we are no longer in a favorable position and cannot move forward rashly. We can only retreat to advance. I plan to establish a cooperative relationship with them."
"But……"
As Xiao Zhang spoke, he coughed a few more times.
"Don't worry, with what we have right now, they'll be willing to cooperate with us."
"I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about you."
"I've been through so much over the years, and I've seen so many things. I know what I'm doing."
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he stared intently at the man, "Little Zhang, I never expected that this time, you would be replacing me..."
“Boss, please don’t say that,” Xiao Zhang gestured with his eyes towards the surveillance camera. “It’s my duty to do my job well for you. Since I’m not by your side, please take care of yourself, don’t work so late, get more rest, pay attention to your health, and go for regular checkups.”
Huang Zhongqian patted Xiao Zhang's hand, looking at the purplish-brown marks on his hand from the tight shackles, and then forcefully covered them with his palm.
"Don't worry, things will eventually turn around."
Looking into Huang Zhongqian's eyes, Xiao Zhang saw a particularly firm gaze filled with trust. "Leader, I don't regret anything I've done."
Before leaving, Xiao Zhang turned back to look at Huang Zhongqian and gave him a bright smile.
That smile remained etched in Huang Zhongqian's memory for a long time after he left.
Fan Siwen has arranged everything in China, and now the most crucial question is how he will return to China.
After making a series of phone calls to his friends and obtaining the key information, Fan Siwen first went to the police station with the documents his friend had sent him to obtain a passport loss certificate.
After obtaining the certificate, Fan Siwen followed the procedure, downloaded the consular app, submitted the documents one by one, and finally applied for expedited processing.
Upon seeing the message "Submission Successful," Fan Siwen jumped up with joy, clenched her fist, and said firmly, "Yes!"
There's nothing in this world that Fan Siwen can't figure out.
After obtaining her travel document, Fan Siwen applied for a new passport in China and used her passport information to buy a return ticket.
Everything is ready; now there's only one problem left.
That is, how to successfully escape this horrible place without being discovered.
Of course, in Fan Siwen's opinion, this was also the most difficult one.
Because if he is found out that he is not in the house, his father will definitely send people to the airport to intercept him immediately.
If that happens, the same thing that happened last time will happen again.
He cannot allow this to happen again.
He was locked in his room trying to figure out what to do when someone called him to eat outside, but he ignored them completely.
When she opened the door again, she saw the food laid out outside the room, and Fan Siwen had an idea.
The next day, he got out of bed early and hid in his father's garage on the first floor.
Based on his understanding of his father, this man would appear in the garage precisely in the morning, start the car, and go outside.
If nothing unexpected happens today, he will still be able to wait for his father.
A person quietly hid in a corner of the warehouse, leaving only a small gap to see the outside world.
Just in case, he also equipped himself with a small, dedicated telescope for emergencies.
Time ticked by, and his dad still hadn't done anything today.
Fan Siwen was getting impatient, and his legs were trembling.
Suddenly hearing a sound from upstairs, Fan Siwen quickly put down her crossed legs, enduring the difficulty of squatting due to numbness in her legs, and curled up into a ball.
Two familiar figures appeared before me.
How many media outlets are scheduled to be there today?
"Eight companies, including our own, there are a total of nine."
"Okay, try to make the luncheon after the interviews as proper as possible and avoid any mistakes."
"Yes, sir."
Before getting into the car, Fan Tianqi turned around again and reminded him, "Keep an eye on that kid."
"Don't worry, sir."
As soon as I closed the car door, I heard a voice say, "Open the door." The garage door swung open with a "whoosh."
Fan Siwen was utterly astonished upon seeing this.
She covered her mouth tightly, almost making a sound.
So this is how the garage door opens.
Then what about all his previous attempts?
Hmph, it's just voice control, nothing fancy.
After everyone left and the garage door was successfully closed.
Fan Siwen jumped out from the corner and saw the car that had been started up and ready to be driven last time. He wanted nothing more than to kick it.
Looking at the car body again, so gorgeous and exquisite, he thought to himself, "I'll let you off the hook today."
I walked over and kicked a plastic bag that was lying there.
I don't know what's inside, but the moment my toe hit it, it felt like I triggered a switch that made all the nerves in my body go numb.
A tingling, electric-like sensation rushed over my head.
He instinctively covered his left foot, his right hand darting around his body, unsure of where to cover it, looking extremely strange.
On the way back, they bumped into Afu, who had just seen Fan Tianqi off.
Fan Siwen immediately pretended that nothing had happened.
He walked up to the person, unusually calm.
"Young Master, where did you just go?"
"Just... taking a stroll..." After saying that, she didn't forget to tidy her hair and continued, "It's okay, you go and do your thing."
Only after the person had completely left his sight did he continue to clutch his foot, his face contorted in a grimace.
