The car drove into the city center, and upon entering the bustling main road, they finally saw the cars following them gradually getting lost in the traffic.
"We’ve shaken them off," Bai Youchen confirmed after ascertaining that the driver of the pursing vehicle was skilled, further affirming a thought in his mind, "Driver, please just pull over to the side."
The driver also breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the car immediately.
If it weren’t for the fear of overthinking and being complained about for arbitrary refusal to serve, he would have wanted to ditch these two passengers long ago.
One seemed to be either injured or ill, and the other was so nervous that they kept talking about whether they were being followed.
All he wanted was a quiet drive.
Bai Youchen and Lu Wanwan got out of the car and immediately hailed another one.
"I’m sure they haven’t followed us, and now that we’ve switched cars, even if they know the license plate, it’s useless. You can be completely at ease now," Bai Youchen smiled faintly, a bit helpless with her, "Were you scared to death just now?"
Lu Wanwan exhaled softly, "A little."
"Get off early later, you don’t need to worry about the rest."
"How come you didn’t board your flight?" Lu Wanwan opened her eyes wide, seeing his pale face sweaty, and handed him a tissue.
"You guys were right, I haven’t recovered well. From the assessment during this trip, it seems I need some more rest," he said with a smile, taking the tissue.
"I’ll take you to Dr. Song Ning," said Lu Wanwan as she called Song Ning.
"That’s not possible."
Bai Youchen had completely realized that his cousin was a stubborn and domineering girl who insisted on having her way.
So be it, if going to Song Ning could make her feel at ease.
After all, nobody was following them for now, and she, he should be able to trust.
"Wanwan, I heard that you and that Mr. Gu..."
Lu Wanwan had just hung up the phone and told the driver the new address. She replied to him, "What about it? He’s my husband."
Bai Youchen was taken aback and then laughed, "So you’re already married."
"Yes, not long ago," Lu Wanwan said with a smile, thinking of how she could now take her scarf back and purposely flaunt her presence in front of him.
"Congratulations. But if I may ask, was this the Ye Family’s idea, or your own?"
"Both, I guess," she leaned back on the seat, "My grandmother said it was a marriage proposal mentioned casually by his grandfather a long time ago. Later, it was also my own decision. I... Anyway, it’s a long story about this matter."
Soon, the turmoil with Jin’an would gradually subside, and she needed to start over to ask her father for shares.
"How long have you known each other?" Bai Youchen asked with a light chuckle.
"Quite a while, several years."
"To my knowledge, he wasn’t in Manchester these past few years," Bai Youchen looked at her, "He was in the United Kingdom."
"You know that, too? He used to go to the same high school as me, and then he went to study abroad in the UK."
Gu Annan received the last message from Mu Xing, who had successfully thrown off the pursuit of the Young Madam’s car.
He looked up, "If they say this person is hard to track, I understand, but why has there been no word from Lu Kexin these past few days?"
Zhao Chen passed on the latest investigative materials, "Director Gu, this is the only information we have on Miss Lu’s whereabouts. The day she disappeared, she took a flight out of Manchester and then lost contact. I think she probably fled because she was worried about retaliation. After all, Lu Jingtian wouldn’t help her, and she had no way out in Manchester, so she must have run away by herself."
"Have you tracked the credit card information?"
"We’ve checked, there’s been no use. She must be carrying cash, probably not wanting to be found."
