After lingering in the HR departnt for a while, Shen Cheng called Shen Zhongming and heard he might have a eting coming up, so she left first.
Getting into her car, she took out her phone to call Ye Zi, but it was constantly busy and she couldn’t get through, so she had no choice but to call Qin Jin.
The call connected and after three rings, the other party answered, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Shen Cheng humd in acknowledgent and asked, "Have you arrived in Jiang City?"
"Yes, I’m out handling so matters right now. What’s up, sister-in-law, is there sothing you need?"
"Nothing much, just asking if you have arrived. You go ahead, I am hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Cheng drove towards the Qin Mansion.
For so reason, she had been feeling uneasy since the afternoon, not knowing where this anxiety was coming from.
It felt as though there was a huge rock in her heart, making her terribly uneasy.
After a journey of more than ten minutes, her car arrived about two hundred ters from the Qin Mansion.
Ahead was a curve in the road, and just as Shen Cheng was about to turn the steering wheel, she caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure not far ahead.
Almost subconsciously, she turned off the car lights, then brought the car to a stop. As the vehicle wasn’t moving fast, the sudden stop didn’t make any noise.
The car stopped on the curve, and the bend in the road conveniently blocked the body of the car, but from Shen Cheng’s position, she could see every corner outside the gates of the Qin Mansion, including the person hiding in the darkness.
Shen Cheng couldn’t see the face of the other party clearly because the distance was sowhat far, and the other party was also wearing a mask to cover their face.
Shen Cheng began to size up the other person’s height, build, and clothing.
By estimation, the person was about 160 cm tall, wearing a baselab cap and dressed in a black coat that covered down to the thigh roots. The clothing was sowhat loose, but it couldn’t hide her good figure.
From the height and build, it should be a woman.
The woman’s back was against the wall in the dark, occasionally peering at the mansion’s gate, looking like she was waiting for soone.
Shen Cheng could not discern the woman’s identity nor understand her purpose, so she didn’t make any rash movents nor intended to startle the quarry.
She opened her car door and exited the vehicle, closing the door with the gentlest movent possible, fearful of disturbing the woman nearby. She didn’t lock the car.
She tiptoed towards the edge of the curve, then moved forward step by step along the curve.
There were no street lights outside the mansion, and as the evening progressed, the surroundings turned darker.
There was no moon tonight, and coincidentally, the street lights outside the mansion were also off. As ti ticked away, the surroundings were imrsed in darkness.
Shen Cheng moved closer to the woman, but her visibility dwindled more and more. The all-encompassing dark made it impossible for her to see ahead clearly.
The woman, on alert, watched her surroundings but could also see nothing due to the darkness.
At this mont, she pulled out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
"Hello."
"I’ve been waiting for an hour and haven’t seen her people; don’t ss up just for the sake of money."
"Don’t explain so much to , anyway, I’ll only pay the final amount when I see her. Also, you better be reliable in your work. If I found out you’ve leaked anything, I won’t let you off."
Although the woman deliberately lowered her voice, Shen Cheng still caught her words, and though not very clear, she could ascertain.
The woman was Gu Liancheng.
