“What made Mr. Nan Chen think that it should be here?” Qiao Zhan asked.
“The less peaceful the area is, the easier it is to hide.” Nan Chen replied.
Qiao Zhan gave it a thought and felt that it made sense.
After a few hours on the road, Qiao Zhan got someone to take over Nan Chen as the driver.
Nan Chen felt that it was not sustainable for him to drive in the long run so he moved to the backseat to get some rest.
Just then, Qiao Zhan’s phone rang. It was a call from the police in charge of investigating this case.
The police mentioned in the phone call that there was a hit-and-run accident near Nan Gu, where a Jeep fled after running into a passenger car.
The witnesses at the accident scene took pictures of the cars involved in the accident. It could be seen that the driver was a lady, and the police believed that there was a high possibility that she was Ding Mi.
However, it could not be confirmed as the angle of the picture failed to capture the entire face of the lady.
“It must be her.” Nan Chen said after he looked at the picture.
“Mr. Nan Chen, what made you so sure?” Qiao Zhan questioned once again.
Nan Chen chose to remain silent this time round.
The reason was simple. Although the face of the lady was not captured, her outfit was that of early China days and was the fit worn by the female lead of the film, Sound of Thunder 2. Nan Chen was able to tell at first glance.
Besides, Nan Chen believed that the car accident was deliberately created so as to leave hints behind for them.
She also knew that Nan Chen would pay attention to this incident. Just by looking at the picture, he would be able to tell that it was her.
What a sly woman. She is indeed clever! Nan Chen could not help but to compliment her.
Despite the both of them being highly incompatible, they had similar intelligence levels and an unspoken tacit understanding between each other.
Nan Chen felt himself smiling from cheek to cheek upon thinking of this.
However, there was a voice in his head telling him that he should not ever fall for her. She was a vicious woman who could do anything just to attain her goals.
Furthermore, she was Nan Xing’s woman. The most she could be was his sister-in-law.
How could he be thinking of stealing his own biological brother’s woman?
Nan Chen instantly felt guilty and ashamed of himself. He closed his eyes and a wave of anguish swept across his face.
Qiao Zhan could tell that there was something wrong from the expression on his face. However, he could not figure out why there was such a drastic change in his emotional state.
“Mr. Nan Chen, are you fine? Are you tired from this sudden long distance travelling?”
Nan Chen waved his hand, signaling that he was fine.
“Mr. Nan Chen, is this scheme targeted at the Nan family or just against Fourth Young Mistress?” Qiao Zhan questioned.
“She isn’t.” Nan Chen replied coldly.
Qiao Zhan did not know what his reply meant, yet he did not dare to question him.
Luckily, Nan Chen added on, “She isn’t Fourth Young Mistress.”
But this elaboration only made Qiao Zhan more confused than before.
That Ding Mi was Fourth Young Master’s woman, so shouldn’t she be Fourth Young Mistress?
However, he still did not dare to question Nan Chen.
“The speed of the car seems a little slow. Please step on the accelerator.” Nan Chen instructed.
“Got it.”
“Get the team in charge of the planes to get ready. I might need to deploy them anytime.” Nan Chen added.
“If Mr. Nan Chen finds driving too tiring, we could take the plane instead. However, it would be more troublesome to seek approval from the authorities for takeoff. We might need some time on that…”
Nan Chen waved and said, “That’s not necessary. Just get them to prepare a helicopter that could bring us directly to Nan Gu, that would be sufficient.”
“Yes, Mr. Nan Chen.”
……
Meanwhile, Ning Ran was completely worn out from driving. She would get into an accident if she carried on driving.
The accident that happened earlier on was intentional and she was hoping for the Nan family to see it.
