Get Ready to Meet

Wu Rong looked up at once, glanced at Jiang Tong, and then lowered her head again. The car was only so big, so she could clearly hear the conversation between Jiang Tong and Zhou Jingyun.

“I’m still working overtime at the company, so I won’t be able to go back tonight,” Zhou Jingyun said.

“Working so hard today? Is it because of the press conference?” Jiang Tong asked.

“Yes, the press conference is getting closer and closer, and the company is getting busier and busier.” Zhou Jingyun’s tone suddenly changed as he said, “My dear Miss Jiang Tong, for the sake of my hard work, can you tell me what you were doing in Jingdu?”

“Sure.” Jiang Tong smiled. In fact, she didn’t intend to hide this matter from Zhou Jingyun at all. She just wanted to tell him after she was done with the matter. In the next few minutes, Jiang Tong explained the situation briefly. There was nothing she couldn’t say. In short, she had asked Wu Rong to cooperate with Gu Yu to hunt for the peripheral assets of the Shao family. The key to this matter was not how to hunt, but why Gu Yu and Wu Rong could cooperate. The thing that could facilitate their cooperation was naturally the matter with Dong Yuan. However, Jiang Tong had already told Zhou Jingyun about this matter, so there was no need to repeat it.

A few minutes later, Zhou Jingyun fell silent after listening to Jiang Tong’s words. Jiang Tong’s words were very brief as if she had just done something casually. Jiang Tong did not mention many details, but Zhou Jingyun could imagine it because he knew Jiang Tong very well, and he thoroughly understood Jiang Tong’s terrifying means!

“Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing.” Zhou Jingyun never interfered with Jiang Tong’s matters. He said, “Oh right, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. Shao Ying called me today.”

“What did Shao Ying want to say?” Jiang Tong’s tone was very calm as if she was not surprised that Shao Ying would call Zhou Jingyun.

“Shao Ying said…” Zhou Jingyun paused for a moment before continuing, “She said she’s coming to City Z to apologize to me in person.”

Jiang Tong’s brows raised. Shao Ying dared to come to City Z? “Did she say when she’ll be coming?” she asked Zhou Jingyun.

“She didn’t say when exactly.” Zhou Jingyun was silent for a moment. He seemed to want to say something to Jiang Tong, but in the end, he did not say it. After a pause, he said, “I told Shao Ying not to come, and even if she came, I wouldn’t meet her. But…”

Jiang Tong understood that Zhou Jingyun could not control Shao Ying at all, and Shao Ying could come and go as she pleased.

“I’ll be back in City Z in two days,” Jiang Tong said.

“Okay. Jiang Tong…” Zhou Jingyun replied. He called Jiang Tong’s name again, but he fell silent again.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Tong asked.

“It’s fine. We’ll talk about it when you get back to City Z.” There were some things that were meaningless to say over the phone, but Jiang Tong could guess what Zhou Jingyun wanted to say to her. He was worried that once Shao Ying arrived in City Z, Jiang Tong would kill her immediately! Zhou Jingyun felt that Jiang Tong wasn’t someone who would ignore the consequences, plus her plan was going on in an orderly manner, so there was no need for any more trouble, but if Shao Ying were to seek her own death and provoke Jiang Tong in City Z, or say something nasty to Jiang Tong’s face, it would be hard for Shao Ying to not die!

Zhou Jingyun wanted to persuade Jiang Tong and communicate with her, but it was not convenient to do so over the phone, and it would not be effective. He could only wait for Jiang Tong to come back. Zhou Jingyun said a few more words to Jiang Tong and they said good night to each other before hanging up.

Wu Rong heard the conversation between Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong. After Jiang Tong hung up the phone, she asked curiously, “If Shao Ying goes to City Z, what do you plan to do?”

Jiang Tong was silent for a moment before she spoke in a subtle tone, “It will be very interesting.”

After a while, the car arrived at the hotel they had booked. Jiang Tong and Wu Rong went back to their rooms to sleep. The next morning, at seven o’clock in the morning, Jiang Tong opened her eyes on time. She looked at the ceiling and smiled.

Wu Rong was leaving Jingdu today. Before she left, she left a car for Jiang Tong. She knew that Jiang Tong had come to Jingdu by high-speed rail and that it was inconvenient to be in Jingdu without a car, so Wu Rong left one for her. It was a Mercedes-Benz S-Class car with a City Z license plate.

At the entrance of the hotel, Jiang Tong had one hand in her pocket as she watched Wu Rong’s motorcade leave. After the motorcade turned at the intersection, Jiang Tong retracted her gaze and looked at the cars coming and going on the road. After thinking for a while, she turned around and walked toward the car that Wu Rong had left for her. The car key was in her hand. Sitting in the car, Jiang Tong took out her phone and opened the chat interface with ‘Muyu’.
