Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan's high school classmates weren't very familiar with each other, but Xiang Zhilan had already given them instructions beforehand.
So when she went in, no one felt it was abrupt. Actually, there weren't many people at this class reunion; the dozen or so were all close friends of Zhi Lan.
Although the vice class monitor didn't know Zhi Lan was going to run away, she had already been asked to agree on the story that she had come. Zhi Lan has always been popular, so this was naturally not difficult for her.
The group ate and drank as usual. Ni Sitian saw that it was almost time and took a few photos as Zhi Lan had instructed.
She asked the vice class monitor to cooperate and have him call her "Zhi Lan" from across the room. She recorded a short video of this and then uploaded it to Shen Muzhi's WeChat.
Perhaps Su Yan's situation was urgent, which is why Shen Muzhi took so long to reply. He wanted Su Yan to have fun, but he himself might not be able to make it.
Ni Sitian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the reply; she had already bought as much time as possible.
Now it's up to Zhilan herself; there shouldn't be any problems.
Ni Sitian put away Zhi Lan's phone, just then Xu Tingchuan called.
She got up and went outside to answer the phone. Xu Tingchuan heard the background noise and said, "Are you still at your gathering with friends?"
Ni Sitian thought for a moment, realizing that Shen Muzhi would find out by midnight at the latest, so she said to Xu Tingchuan, "It's not over yet, come pick me up at Jinchao at midnight."
"So late?" Xu Tingchuan twisted his head and instructed, "Don't drink alcohol, and don't eat anything from outside."
"I know, do you think I'm three years old?" Ni Sitian retorted.
Xu Tingchuan smiled, hung up the phone, took off his earpiece, and continued driving. He had just returned from inspecting a factory in the suburbs and was still two hours away from the city.
The car that Xiang Zhilan was in just passed by his car. Xu Tingchuan saw Xiang Zhilan and found it a bit strange, since Xiang Zhilan was usually driven by A Chao in his Bentley.
It's already past nine o'clock, what would a pregnant woman be doing in such a remote place?
As Xu Tingchuan was thinking, the traffic light turned green. He stopped the car and looked back at the car that Xiang Zhilan was in, which had already disappeared from sight.
Judging from Xiang Zhilan's demeanor while sitting in the car, he didn't seem to be in any trouble. He must have been overthinking it.
Xu Tingchuan looked away, saw the traffic light change, and started the car.
Xiang Zhilan sat in the car, nervously clutching her chest. She was terrified; she had just run into Xu Tingchuan and wondered if he would mention it to Shen Muzhi.
Just as I was considering whether to contact Ni Sitian to talk to her first, the car was heading towards the crossroads.
Xiang Zhilan found it strange and frowned, shouting, "Master, you're going the wrong way. I'm going to Aojin'ao Wharf, this direction is to Binhai City."
“I didn’t make a mistake, Miss Zhi Lan, please sit down comfortably.” The middle-aged man took off his hat, looked at Xiang Zhi Lan in the rearview mirror, and said, “I called you earlier. My family head knows that you want to leave Shen Muzhi and will do everything he can to help you.”
Xiang Zhilan paused for a moment, then said warily, "I don't need anyone else's help, I can do it myself! You drive it back!"
"Miss Zhilan, please rest assured, we mean no harm. My master is your grandfather. When you meet him, you will know everything." Uncle De drove steadily, his voice respectful and humble.
Xiang Zhilan found it utterly unbelievable; how could a grandfather suddenly appear out of nowhere?!
