Chapter 225: utilize the influence of Shang Hexing
Wen Zhi was so desperate to see Shang Jing, just as Shang Jing had been eager to visit the Wen Family to see her that day.
She didn’t know whether Shang Jing would still treat her kindly.
But she couldn’t care about that anymore.
At this mont, ng Fan was driving while Wen Zhi sat in the passenger seat, patiently waiting for Shang Jing to pick up the phone after she dialed his number.
The traffic light ahead turned red.
ng Fan stepped on the brake, glanced at Wen Zhi, and saw her expression getting worse, so he asked, “He’s still not answering?”
Wen Zhi guessed, “Maybe it’s because I snubbed him last ti, and he’s still angry.”
ng Fan tossed over his phone, “Use my phone to call, and keep calling until he answers.”
“Okay.”
Without hesitation, Wen Zhi took ng Fan’s phone and continued to call Shang Jing.
The result was the sa.
There was still no answer on the other end.
When the green light ca on, ng Fan released the brake and snorted coldly, “I’ve never seen a man so petty!”
After his complaint, ng Fan hurriedly asked, “So, are we still heading to the Shang family’s place?”
Wen Zhi nodded, “I heard that Shang Jing mostly stays at the Shang family ho. Even if he’s not there right now, I might be able to find out where he went.”
“Alright.”
At this ti, ng Fan was concentrating on driving and didn’t notice the unusual look in Wen Zhi’s eyes, or her hand clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.
Wen Zhi was afraid of running into Chong Wanyin at the Shang family’s place.
At the sa ti, she wondered if Chong Wanyin might still be missing…
Although Shang Hexing assured that Chong Wanyin wouldn’t retaliate against her and that the kidnapping incident was over, Wen Zhi actually felt quite uneasy.
ng Fan drove particularly fast on this trip.
Upon arriving quickly at the Shang family ho, Wen Zhi learned from the butler that Chong Wanyin was not at ho.
She then asked if Shang Jing was ho, to which the butler replied, “The second young master left ho about twenty minutes ago, saying he was going to Lin City. He should probably be at the airport by now.”
“You’re saying Shang Jing has gone to Lin City?” Wen Zhi was very surprised.
The butler nodded, “Yes, Miss Wen, the second young master left for Lin City today. If you have any urgent matters, you can try to contact him or wait for him to return from Lin City.”
Wen Zhi looked very dejected, “When will he be back?”
“That, I’m not sure of.” The butler knew it should only be a couple of days, but he didn’t dare to be too specific.
“I see, thank you.” Wen Zhi thanked him and turned to leave.
Back in the car, ng Fan saw Wen Zhi’s face, heavy with worry, and imdiately guessed what had happened.
ng Fan, “Shang Jing didn’t agree to et you, did he?”
Wen Zhi shook her head, “It’s not that he refused to et. He’s gone to Lin City. He left just twenty minutes ago; he might already be at the airport, or even on the plane by now.”
Hearing this, ng Fan looked troubled, “If he’s on the plane, then indeed there’s nothing that can be done. Should we find him another day?”
Wen Zhi didn’t respond.
After a long silence, she finally asked, “How long does it take to get to the airport from here?”
ng Fan swiped on the dashboard screen and, after looking at the route and timing, told Wen Zhi, “The quickest would be twenty-eight minutes.”
Wen Zhi, “The quickest?”
ng Fan pointed at the ti for Wen Zhi to see, “It’s the morning rush hour now, so it’s more congested. It’ll take at least half an hour or more.”
Wen Zhi murmured softly, “Isn’t there any other way to stop Shang Jing…”
“There’s definitely a way,” ng Fan said with certainty.
Wen Zhi turned to look at ng Fan, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
ng Fan cracked a smile, “Zhizhi, if the plane Shang Jing is on hasn’t taken off yet, and you’re absolutely determined to see him today, then there’s definitely a way to stop him.”
Hearing ng Fan say this, Wen Zhi’s eyes shifted from confusion to anticipation, “What thod?”
ng Fan raised an eyebrow, “Call your uncle right now. Intercepting a plane might be too difficult, but having airport staff stop Shang Jing is definitely possible.”
As soon as it ca to asking Shang Hexing for help, Wen Zhi subconsciously resisted such an action.
Shang Hexing held power and influence; with just a word, a command, any rule could be altered because of him. However, his power wasn’t ant to be misused like this.
But ng Fan didn’t think so, “Zhizhi, don’t you want to stop Shang Jing? Call your uncle now! If you don’t, it’ll be too late!”
Seeing that Wen Zhi still hadn’t reached for her phone, ng Fan grew impatient and kept urging her.
“Hurry, Zhizhi. Even if Shang Jing is already on the plane, there’s still a chance to have him removed!”
“If the plane takes off, it’ll be too late!”
Under ng Fan’s repeated urging, Wen Zhi slowly took out her phone.
Her expression was conflicted, clearly hesitating.
Seeing this, ng Fan directly snatched the phone from Wen Zhi’s hands, “I’ll do it.”
“Hey, ng Fan, don’t…” Wen Zhi tried to get her phone back.
ng Fan was now determined to solve Wen Zhi’s troubles and naturally, she wouldn’t return the phone. She knew the lock screen password of Wen Zhi’s phone, found the calls section, and dialed Shang Hexing’s number directly.
“Shush!” ng Fan lowered her voice to Wen Zhi.
The call connected.
Wen Zhi’s outstretched hand stiffened, and she imdiately fell silent.
ng Fan was quick to put the phone on speaker, and Shang Hexing’s voice ca from the phone, he called out:
“Wen Zhi.”
Wen Zhi’s lips twitched as if she wanted to speak, but ng Fan’s voice preempted hers, “It’s , uncle.”
“ng Fan?” The voice on the other end was a bit puzzled.
“It’s !” ng Fan said in one breath, “The situation is this: Shang Jing has gone to the airport, and we want to stop him, but now the problem is that we can’t make it to the airport. Uncle, can you help us out?”
In this speech, ng Fan didn’t ntion Wen Zhi’s na.
Instead, she used “we.”
This also implied that it was her idea, and then she used Wen Zhi’s phone to make this call.
“What do you need Shang Jing for?” Shang Hexing asked with a grave voice.
ng Fan turned to look at Wen Zhi, and said word for word, “There’s… sothing very important to discuss with him.”
At the mont, it clearly wasn’t Wen Zhi talking to Shang Hexing, but upon hearing ng Fan’s words, Wen Zhi’s hand suddenly clutched the hem of her clothes, while her other hand curled up inside her sleeve.
“Pass the phone to Wen Zhi,” Shang Hexing commanded.
ng Fan glanced at Wen Zhi again and mouthed: Take it?
Wen Zhi’s hand that had been clutching her garnt relaxed slowly, and then she reached out to take the phone.
Pressing the phone to her ear, Wen Zhi’s lips parted, “I…”
Before she could speak, Shang Hexing’s voice ca through, “I’ve already asked Xun An to take care of it. If the flight hasn’t taken off, he won’t be able to leave; if it has, I’ll have soone at Lin City Airport bring him back.”
Wen Zhi gasped for breath.
Actually, in those few seconds after she took the phone from ng Fan, Wen Zhi was thinking that if Shang Hexing wanted confirmation from her, it was probably too late.
When Shang Hexing would actually ask, she planned to say it was all a joke.
Who would have thought that right after ng Fan said those words, Shang Hexing had already given his instructions.
“As a thank you, I’ll co to your house for dinner tonight. Is that okay?” He was still considering her answer from yesterday.
Wen Zhi imdiately responded, “Okay.”
Shang Hexing, “I will co over early.”
Wen Zhi’s mood brightened, “Okay.”
“Is there anything else you need
to do?” he asked.
