Chuan felt a surge of uneasiness and worry, but he kept a straight face, pretending as if he had only received a simple order, "Alright."
He put down the call.
Before he could keep his phone inside his pockets, Ziyue bombarded him with a string of questions. "Was it Muchen? What did he say? Has he completed his work?"
Chuan uttered with a serious tone, "Mr. Qin asked if we'd arrived at the airport. As the client has a special status, he's monitoring the progress here."
Ziyue nodded and slowly removed her belt. "Has the client arrived? Do we get out of the car now?"
"Yes, they're here."
He followed her down the car.
They walked in front with bodyguards following behind them.
Recently, whenever she wasn't with Muchen, she would be assigned several bodyguards to protect her. She was used to it and didn't find it uncomfortable.
Ziyue didn't notice it in the car as she never paid attention to her surroundings, but now that she exited the car, she realized they were not in the international airport.
Ziyue felt puzzled about the situation. Before she could ask, Chuan explained, "The client took a private jet."
She was becoming increasingly interested in the identity of their mysterious client.
She wanted to confirm with Chuan if he was really unaware of the client's information. But she couldn't voice her queries when she saw how stern he looked.
When they entered the airport, she saw a private jet parked outside.
The atmosphere was heavy as the bodyguards were lined up on both sides of the boarding area.
Ziyue halted her footsteps.
Chuan noticed she had suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Mrs. Qin, is there something wrong?"
Ziyue openly shared her suspicions. "What is happening right now? Who are we here to receive? Is it Zixi?"
She made a bold assumption, but it wasn't unreasonable, seeing how things were unfolding.
Chuan and Muchen wouldn't expose any information about the client. Moreover, Muchen often mentioned that she would meet Zixi soon.
Her observation of such details only made her suspect such a possibility.
However, it seemed impossible.
After all, it was a sensitive period. If Zixi were here, it wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. Muchen wouldn't act in such a reckless manner.
"Mrs. Qin, why don't you follow me and see since we're already here?" Chuan seemed more at ease as they had already reached the airport.
Ziyue didn't resist anymore as she knew that Chuan was only following orders. Furthermore, Muchen had made a genuine request to her previously.
But the client was arrogant. He wouldn't get off the plane to greet them.
Chuan moved aside and gestured for her to walk in front of him. "Mrs. Qin, please walk in the front."
Ziyue followed his will and went in front of him.
She proceeded to climb up the stairs of the private jet, but an uneasy weight lingered in her heart.
As the strange feeling dawned on her, she slowed down her footsteps.
Behind her, Chuan felt anxious when she slowed down, but he lowered his head so she couldn't read his expressions.
Ziyue trusted her instinct. She knew that something wasn't right!
She stopped immediately. And as she was about to turn around, a bodyguard approached her from the cabin.
He stared at Ziyue and said, "Are you from LK Group?"
