Jin Zi Meng hung up the phone with her mother, initially feeling a bit anxious. However, half an hour later, when she called her mother again, the call was once again cut off. Finding it strange that her calls went unanswered, she decided to wait until her lunch break to go directly to Zong Group to look for her mother.
At that moment, she suddenly received a WeChat message from her mother: "Something happened back home, and I need to return temporarily. I'm on my way now. Please let Tong Le know that we can meet after I get back to the city. It's very noisy here, and the relatives keep calling me, so please don’t call me; otherwise, their calls won’t get through."
Jin Zi Meng stared at the WeChat message for a while, feeling that something was off. Her relatives in the countryside often troubled her mother with various issues, but this time it seemed serious enough for her mother to return home to handle it.
She wanted to call her mother again but hesitated since her calls were always cut off. Instead, she sent a message: "Mom, are you okay? Are you on your way to the station?"
Jin Feng replied: "I'm fine, don’t worry. I’ll be back in a few days. I've already asked for leave from my boss; it's not a big deal. Just take care of yourself at home."
At this point, Jin Zi Meng didn’t doubt anything anymore. Her mother’s words seemed normal; it was likely just another incident caused by those troublesome relatives. She had advised her mother not to meddle too much in others' affairs, but her mother never listened.
Jin Zi Meng quickly sent a message to Tong Le: "Tong Le Jie, my mom is fine, but she needs to go back to the countryside for a few days. She said we can set a time to meet after she returns to the city."
Originally, Jin Zi Meng planned to tell Tong Le that her mother was preparing to disclose information about Ke Jie and Ke Wei Qiang. However, after everything that had happened recently, she had learned to be more cautious. Without her mother's permission, she wouldn’t say anything prematurely; if her mother changed her mind midway, she wouldn’t be able to take back those words.
The plane took off and landed amidst turbulence and unexpected weather changes that turned what was supposed to be a clear day into something perilous.
Dao Wen's emotions mirrored the tumultuous flight as she pondered how she should act when meeting Zhou Feng—should she slap him first and walk away coolly or cry and listen to his explanations before making a decision?
Once they disembarked from the plane and successfully exited the airport, they were greeted by staff holding signs welcoming Tong Le and Dao Wen.
The welcoming team was arranged by Zong Zeyu, who had meticulously planned everything—from their arrival at the hotel to introductions of nearby attractions and dining arrangements for the first few days.
Tong Le repeatedly emphasized that they were there to find someone, not for tourism. The team leader explained cheerfully in a less-than-fluent manner that he understood they were looking for someone and reassured them that they had already sent someone out to find him. In the meantime, he encouraged them to enjoy good food and fun while waiting. The boss had paid well for their hospitality.
Tong Le accepted this arrangement; after all, finding someone would only take two or three days. Since they were already there, enjoying some local cuisine wasn’t a bad idea as long as they stayed indoors at night.
Dao Wen pushed her luggage against the wall and glanced at the Female Team Leader before speaking to Tong Le: "Zong Zeyu really seems worried about any issues arising; even the liaison here is female. I noticed several bodyguards downstairs, including some women—he's quite thoughtful."
The Female Team Leader quickly added, "That's right! In your hired bodyguard team, there are three women who will rotate shifts at night. It's not convenient for men to come and go at night; women are much more suitable for that. If you need anything late at night—like snacks or daily necessities—just give us a call."
Dao Wen stepped directly in front of the Female Team Leader and asked politely, "Could you take me to where Zhou Feng is located?"
The Female Team Leader looked nervous and replied, "We haven't found him yet; please be patient!"
Dao Wen clarified, "I’m not saying I need to see him right away; I just want to check out the environment there."
