"Brother Shen, they must have kidnapped someone."
"Captain Zhao said that this matter will be merged into our current task force to investigate together."
Qian Jia said, "We will also go to Huzhou to conduct relevant investigations."
"I will keep an eye out and let you know if anyone needs assistance."
I nodded and said, "But when you go to Huzhou later, you can't contact me so blatantly."
"I know, we have already communicated with the Shanghai Public Security Management Office."
Qian Jia nodded slightly, "There will be someone over there to pick you up. I heard that he is still an acquaintance with you."
acquaintance?
I don't have many acquaintances in Huzhou.
But everything will have to wait until we arrive in Shanghai.
I just hope that after this issue is settled, I can continue to speak out with peace of mind.
In terms of money, I have slowly become successful.
Chen Cheng showed me the revenue before, and the data were pretty good.
The more than three million yuan frozen in my bank is proof.
If this incident hadn't happened, I would have expanded to two or three more offices, cooperated more with Uncle Qi... and participated in more live treasure appraisal programs, and I would have basically been able to make a comeback.
At that time, you can do business back to the capital, which can also be considered as landing back to the capital.
However, the current situation has delayed my original plan a lot.
Not long after, Qian Jia put away the documents and left early.
Zhuo Ding gave me a bank card.
"Mr. Lin, this is your bank card."
Zhuo Ding did everything meticulously, and he didn't even forget the fake identity I used, Lin Fei.
"OK, thanks."
When I put away the card, I found that there was another card in the bank card packet - a phone card.
It was probably used to contact Qian Jia and others later.
The appearance of the card is not the small card commonly used in smartphones today, but the large card used in old-fashioned tile machines.
I put these away, nodded slightly, and left Hezhou Bank.
Back at the temporary rental house, Chen Cheng had already packed everything - mainly carrying Mei Ping's suitcase, keeping everything else simple.
I changed my clothes, put on my glasses, and quickly left the temporary rental house.
"The car is in the suburbs in the west of the city."
Chen Cheng said and took me by car all the way to the suburbs in the west of the city.
Next to a shabby-looking van, several people were eating lunch boxes.
It looked like it was almost time for dinner.
"Hello, are you Master Sun?"
Chen Cheng stepped forward and asked.
"I am, you are Jiang Lu, right?"
"We'll take a short rest after dinner and then set off."
The driver, known as Master Sun, smiled and nodded. Then he looked at me, "You... seem familiar. Are you that little antique boss?"
"You got the wrong person."
I denied it flat out, "I'm in the express delivery business."
"They look quite similar."
Seeing Master Sun laugh it off, I was slightly relieved.
Hezhou is indeed a city of antiques. From top to bottom, there are almost no people who don't know about antiques - it's just that people at the lower end don't have access to any good things.
Chen Cheng and I had a simple meal at the gas station nearby, bought some water, and then came to the car.
Master Sun and his friends were still resting, leaning against the car and smoking.
"Little brother, do you want to smoke?"
When he held up a pack of cigarettes, I shook my head in refusal.
"How long does it take for us to arrive in Hezhou?"
I asked casually before getting in the car.
"It's hard to say. If you're not in a hurry, if we work normally, we can basically arrive in three days."
Master Sun shook his head slightly, "If you are in a hurry, give me some money and I will ask two friends to drive in shifts."
"We are not in a hurry, just come as normal."
I nodded and got into the car. There were already several people inside.
It was obvious at a glance that the vehicle was overloaded—ten adults and three children were crammed into the seven-seater van with the driver included.
Suddenly, I frowned.
It is estimated that Chen Cheng did not expect such a situation before coming up.
"Master Sun, is there a car with less people?"
I pulled Chen Cheng out of the car with my luggage and looked at Master Sun beside me, "This is already overloaded."
"If it's overcrowded, you can go by train, plane or bus!"
"You're already in our business, and you still don't like this or that."
Master Sun looked impatient, "Isn't it just a matter of money?"
I originally wanted to tell him about the danger of overloading, but everyone here has already reached this point, and I don't intend to argue with him anymore.
"I don't want the money, and we won't get in your car."
I said, pulling Chen Cheng away.
"I didn't know he was like this..."
Standing next to the gas station, Chen Cheng lowered his head slightly.
"It's okay, we'll just find a way."
I understand Chen Cheng. In her past, she had almost never left Hezhou, and she had been doing shady jobs, so she had no contact with them at all.
But we still have to go to Shanghai.
When we were about to go to the coffee shop next door to sit and think about something, that Master Sun came over.
"Little brother, I was angry just now."
Master Sun said with a smile, "I took your money in vain and my conscience doesn't go away. I called my friend and he will send you there later."
"He's free today, so it should be just you two."
I don't know what's going on with Master Sun, but I can see some problems from his expression.
But I need to go to Shanghai, and with my current fake identity, I can only take this kind of bus, so I can only nod.
"He will be there soon, I will wait for him to arrive before driving."
Master Sun said and waited beside us for a while.
About half an hour later, another car drove into the gas station here. The driver got off and chatted with Master Sun for a few words before walking over.
"That's you two, right?"
"Master Sun said the money has been paid, come with me."
The driver's attitude was lukewarm. We could at least go to Huzhou in a safer manner.
When we got in the car, apart from the driver, there were only Chen Cheng and me in the car, and of course our luggage.
Much more space.
Master Sun's car drove away first. I sat in the car for a while and then he started.
The car started to speed up all the way after passing the toll station.
Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery, I didn't expect that I would have to get to Huzhou in this way.
Because we are not rushing, according to the current route, it will basically take three days to get to Shanghai.
During this journey, I was quite vigilant because I felt that there was something wrong with Master Sun's "big change in temperament."
"Brother, can't you survive in Hezhou?"
"What happened?"
The driver wanted to chat with me on the way, but I didn't reveal anything to him. I just replied lightly, "Yes."
