For better city management, every trash can in the capital of M-Country was labeled.
The trash cans in the nearby park were all labeled with the letter F .
Song Zhou went into the park and found the eighth trash with the âFâ label.
He placed the suitcase containing the money beside the trash can and looked around.
Then, he heard the phone ring. He quickly picked it up.
âGo and take a walk by the lake.â
âWhereâs my girlfriend?â Song Zhou asked.
âI have taken two women. Donât worry, Iâll let you save one of them.â The manâs tone was arrogant.
âYou want money, I want my girlfriend back. Please follow the rules.â
âYou are talking to me about rules, huh? You have a fiancee and a girlfriend.
Thatâs quite unruly, donât you think?â
âYouâ¦â Song Zhou wanted to say more but the other party hung up the phone. He had no choice but to walk to the lake. Jiang Jingchen and Han Yun, who had been staring at the trash can in the square, saw a child pick up the suitcase.
Everyone stared, but no one dared to move rashly.
They had all seen Jackâs photo, so they were sure that this was part of Jackâs deception.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jingchen received a message on his phone.
âBlack Ford by the road is here to pick up the suitcase.
Jiang Jingchen frowned, but he didnât have time to investigate the unknown number now. He asked Ji Yi to quickly go to the roadside to find a black Ford. If there was such a car here to pick up the suitcase, Jack was probably in the car.
Ji Yi accepted the order and hurried over.
Han Yun also asked his men to keep an eye on the surveillance cameras. He asked in puzzlement, âHow did you know that a black Ford is here to pick up the money?â
âSomeone sent me a message. Although I donât know if itâs a friend or foe,
getting a tip isnât a bad thing.â
Han Yun clicked his tongue. âDonât tell me itâs your female BFF again?â
âShut up!â
âWhat female BFF?â Tang Beibei, who had been quiet all this while, asked in
confusion.
Han Yun opened his mouth and was about to speak when Jiang Jingchen gave
him a look that sent a chill run down his spine. He pouted unhappily.
âIâm just joking. Donât overthink it, Miss Tang.â
âOkay.â
Tang Beibei nodded. She looked at her husbandâs handsome face and said, âMy husband is so good-looking and so capable. Does he have many admirers?â
âWellâ¦â
âHan Yun, focus on your job. Stop making up rumors about me.
âHahaâ¦â Han Yun felt aggrieved.
There was no smoke without fire. Jiang Jingchen had indeed had quite a few women in his life before.
Jiang Jingchen scratched the little womanâs chin. âIs your best friendâs life more important now, or gossip about me?
âOf course, Qiqiâs life is more important!â
âThen donât disturb Mr. Han. Iâll tell you whatever you want to know.â
âOkay, Iâll be good. I wonât talk anymore.â Tang Beibei quickly covered her mouth with her hand to show that she was not after gossip anymore.
Han Yun looked at the womanâs obedient behavior and felt a toothache.
He thought that Jiang Jingchen would like the kind of powerful women who wanted to dominate the world. He didnât expect him to find a subservient woman. What a surpriseâ¦
Ji Yi sent a message that said that the child had placed the suitcase in the car and the car had driven away.
âChase!â
Jiang Jingchen and Tang Beibei got into another car.
It wouldnât be so easy for the perpetrator to get away this time with Han Yunâs help.
Ji Yi crashed into the car in front of him. Sparks flew but the perpetrator was unperturbed as he sped up, drifted and made a sharp turn without regard for his life.
Ji Yi was blocked by oncoming traffic, so Han Yunâs men continued with the chase.
Jiang Jingchen asked Han Yun, âWhere is Song Zhou?â
Han Yun asked his subordinate, who reported, âHe got into his car and chased after us. Heâs probably also going after that car.â
As soon as Han Yunâs subordinate finished speaking, Jiang Jingchen saw a car overtake them at an extremely high speed, like the driver didnât care about his life.
It was Song Zhou.
Jiang Jingchen called Song Zhou. âSong Zhou, donât be rash.â
Song Zhou said, âI have to catch up and save Ruan Qi.â
âSafeguard your own life first!â
Jiang Jingchen saw that Song Zhouâs car was about to collide with Jackâs. Jack was a fugitive trying to escape but Song Zhouâs actions could very well put his own life in danger.
But Song Zhou didnât listen to him at all. He swore to catch Jack.
Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth and asked Han Yunâs driver to speed up.
Han Yun sighed. âI really didnât expect Song Zhou to be so impulsive.â Jiang Jingchen looked at him. Han Yun shrugged and said, âIâm definitely not playing spectator here. I just sympathize with Song Zhou for risking his life for a woman.â
Jiang Jingchen sneered. âIf you donât have someone for whom youâll risk your life, you also donât have anyone whoâll risk their lives for you. He doesnât need your sympathy, but you should reflect on this.
Han Yun rolled his eyes. He wouldnât win any argument based on logic against Jiang Jingchen.
This guy didnât think like a human being!
Jiang Jingchen felt his arm being held tightly. He turned his head to look at his little wife, whose face was tense. He pulled her into his arms and patted her back.
âDonât worry. Song Zhou drives very well. Heâll be fine.â
Tang Beibei nodded but when she saw the cars in front of her about to crash into each other, she covered her eyes with his big hands, not daring to look.
Jiang Jingchen covered her eyes and comforted her softly, âNothing happened.â Song Zhouâs car knocked into Jackâs before both their cars disappeared from view.
Jiang Jingchen asked Han Yun, âWhere are they?
âMy people are hacking into the surveillance system. We need a little time.â
The Han family was one of the wealthiest families in M-Country, a world-famous family. Han Yun was the first young master of the Han family.
He had many brothers and sisters, but all of them were on good terms. Han Yun took over the Han family, but he was not the most organized person, and he didnât like rules.
But he had many smart people working for him, so it was not difficult for him to hack into some road systems.
âThey are heading southeast. Why does this road look familiar to me?â Ji Yi replied, âJackâs earlier hiding place is along this road. That old villa.â Jiang Jingchen sneered, âThe most dangerous place is the safest place. Heâs going back there thinking that weâve already searched that place.â
Song Zhou followed the man to an old villa. When he saw the man stop the car and run in, he quickly chased after him.
âSong Zhou!â
Song Zhou Stopped in his tracks when he heard Ruan Qiâs voice and looked up in shock at a window on the second floor.
âRuan Qi, are you alright?â
âIâm fine. Why are you here?â
Ruan Qi looked at the man standing behind Song Zhou and her face turned pale with fright.
âSong Zhou, behind you!â
Song Zhou dodged suddenly from the manâs dagger and turned to look at the man behind him. He was well-built and wore a black baseball cap that was pulled low. His face and eyes couldnât be seen clearly.
âBoohoo, boohoo.â
Mi Qing was standing on the other side of the window. Her mouth was taped over and her face was swollen.
âLet them go!â
âOne is your fiancee and the other is your girlfriend. If I let both of them go, youâll have a headache.â
The man chuckled and slowly raised his head, revealing his entire face.
Song Zhou was certain that he did not know this man.
âWho are you?â
âIt doesnât matter who I am. You gave me money, so I should do something and help you get rid of one woman.â The man smiled as he climbed up the railing and jumped up to the second floor.
His movements were swift and agile; he was clearly trained.
He knew surveillance and counter-surveillance. He was well-built but agile. This man must have held a special job in the past.
âYou can only save one of them: your fiancee or your girlfriend.â
The man held the two women and smiled malevolently as he let Song Zhou decide..
