Chapter 239 Talk Later, Arriving to see blood
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Refunding tickets, buying new ones, checking in, going through security— the whole process was like going to war.
After everything was settled, Jiang Fuyue managed to enter in the last two minutes.
She stopped and turned back, facing the man across the barrier, and said, “Thank you.”
The same aloof and unapproachable face, still cold, “Mmm.”
“How can I repay you?”
Although it was a refund and repurchase and Jiang Fuyue paid for the ticket again, but Xie Dingyuan also bore the handling fee.
Moreover, there was the tenfold reward she promised earlier…
Xie Dingyuan: “We’ll talk about it later.”
Jiang Fuyue: “Then let’s add each other on WeChat for now?”
The man took out his phone, opened the QR code, and said lightly, “Scan mine.”
Jiang Fuyue sent a friend request, but before he could accept it, she quickly put away her phone. “There’s no time, I’ll go first.”
He nodded slightly and turned away as well.
At that moment, a call came in from his assistant, Sheng Yiming.
Xie Dingyuan answered.
Sheng Yiming: “I’ve rebooked your flight, but only economy class seats are left, so…”
“Hmm. What time is the flight?”
“3:40.”
His brows furrowed slightly.
On the other end, Sheng Yiming seemed to understand his thoughts, “It’s already the fastest flight. Arranging a private plane at this point might delay things even more.”
A private plane required applying for a route from the Civil Aviation Administration, as well as undergoing a series of complex pre-flight checks. If any issues were found, the flight couldn’t proceed.
Compared to that, taking a commercial flight was more convenient.
But…
Sheng Yiming asked uncertainly, “Were you late?”
Otherwise, how could he have missed the flight?
Now he had to rebook a ticket.
But even as he asked, Sheng Yiming himself didn’t believe it.
Xie Dingyuan being late? Unless there was red rain falling from the sky.
But the next moment—
“Mmm.”
He… he admitted it?!
He was actually late?!
On the other end, Sheng Yiming held the phone, unable to close his mouth due to the shock.
Xie Dingyuan: “The meeting will be delayed by an hour. Arrange for Professors Ge and Lin to present their recent research findings first. If the flight isn’t delayed, I’ll arrive in time and proceed directly to the signing ceremony. If there’s a delay, let Song Yuanzhou sign on my behalf.”
“But they specifically requested your presence…”
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll explain.”
“Okay.”
Just before the call ended, Sheng Yiming suddenly remembered, “Send me the information of the previous ticket so I can handle the insurance.”
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
“Boss?”
“No need.”
“…Okay.”
Today was really strange.
…
At three o’clock in the afternoon, while Xie Dingyuan was still stranded at the airport in the capital, Jiang Fuyue had already arrived in Linhuai.
The flight landed on time, and since she was in business class, Jiang Fuyue walked smoothly through the VIP channel without any obstacles.
Compared to other passengers carrying large and small bags, looking weary, she walked out of the hall empty-handed, passed through the airport gate, and walked like the wind, her expression cold.
A business Benz was parked on the side of the road, and Jiang Fuyue opened the back door and got in.
Hu Ben came personally, and Little Six sat in the front passenger seat.
The two glanced at each other, not daring to speak rashly.
Until—
Jiang Fuyue: “Speak, what’s the situation?”
Hu Ben: “I went to the pancake shop myself. It’s been closed since last night and hasn’t reopened.”
Little Six added, “Just to be sure, I pried the door open and went in. It was cleaned up very neatly, and there were no signs of fighting or bloodstains.”
So the incident didn’t happen at the pancake shop.
Jiang Fuyue’s expression was indifferent, her eyes looking straight ahead. “What about my house?”
Hu Ben: “We checked, nothing there, but there were leftover dishes on the table that hadn’t been cleaned up, and the lights were still on. There were no signs of fighting, but… there was blood on the floor and walls.”
