“Director Wen.”

Wen Changling woke up, opening her eyes.

Dai Qiu said, “We’ve landed.”

The new auxiliary driving system developed by Huaqi Technology and Eastern Automobile was completed. Eastern Automobile’s headquarters was in Linbei, and the road test location was on Huanshan Road in Jingmen District, Linbei. Eastern Automobile had already obtained the intelligent networked vehicle road test notification and road test license issued by the autonomous driving demonstration zone and the Traffic Management Bureau. The road test project included an automatic obstacle avoidance system, semi-automatic new auxiliary driving system, and full intelligent autonomous driving.

As the developer of the system, Huaqi Technology didn’t just send Wen Changling, the Chief Technology Officer; the project team’s core technical personnel also came to Linbei.

“The car is arranged,” said Dai Qiu, the secretary for this trip. “It’s at exit three. Director Wen, do you want to go ahead? We’ll get the luggage.”

“No need, let’s go together.”

A group of more than ten people claimed their luggage and headed for the exit.

Wen Changling dragged her suitcase along, her phone just powered on, her head lowered as she checked the messages on her screen.

Someone in the team said, “Chairman Jiang has come to pick us up.”

Wen Changling looked up.

Jiang Chengxue was standing next to the exit sign, raising his hand and waving. He was tall, dressed in a plaid coat, and very conspicuous in the crowd. He didn’t come forward but waited in place for Wen Changling to come out.

“Wen Changling,” Jiang Chengxue liked to call Wen Changling by her full name, “welcome to Linbei.”

He looked excited, as if saying, “Welcome to my kingdom.”

Out of respect for the host, Wen Changling took the car arranged by Jiang Chengxue. Dai Qiu sat in the front passenger seat, while Wen Changling and Jiang Chengxue sat in the back.

She looked out the window.

Linbei was similar to the capital, a bustling metropolis with towering buildings and busy traffic stretching as far as the eye could see.

“First time in Linbei?”

“Mm.”

“The road test is the day after tomorrow, so you can go out and explore tomorrow.” The car’s interior was spacious. Jiang Chengxue sat to the left, maintaining a distance of one person’s space from Wen Changling on the right, “Do you need a guide?”

Wen Changling politely declined, “No, thank you.”

The hotel stay was arranged by Eastern Automobile. When the car stopped at the entrance, the doorman approached and opened the door for the guests.

Wen Changling got out of the car.

Jiang Chengxue sat in the car, leaning back against the seat, his gaze shifted toward Wen Changling, “See you the day after tomorrow.”

His gaze moved away, and the doorman immediately understood, stepping forward to close the car door.

Wen Changling’s room was on the thirty-seventh floor. She quickly unpacked her luggage. She had agreed to have dinner with her colleagues at half-past six, and it wasn’t yet six o’clock. She called Granny Zhu to check in and, after hanging up, didn’t immediately exit her contacts. Unintentionally, she scrolled to Xie Shang’s number.

Perhaps because she was in a strange place, she had felt inexplicably uneasy since getting off the plane.

Her thoughts wandered for a few seconds, and in those few seconds, her finger pressed down. She immediately realized and tried to end the call, but it went through.

“Hello.”

Wen Changling stared at the phone as if looking at a hot potato, hesitated for a while, and then brought it to her ear.

“I pressed it by mistake.”

After explaining, she was ready to hang up.

Xie Shang called out to her, “Changling.”

She brought the phone back to her ear, “Hmm?”

“Have you reached the hotel?”

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

“I have.”

“Junyue Hotel?”

Did Xie Shang have radar on her?

“How do you know?”

Xie Shang said, “Just a guess.”

The young master of the Junyue Group was closely associated with Jiang Chengxue.

Someone knocked on the door outside.

“Director Wen.”

It was Dai Qiu.

Wen Changling got up to open the door and said to Xie Shang, “My colleague came over, I’ll hang up now.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Xie Shang went to the smoking area and lit a cigarette. Linbei was Jiang Chengxue’s “territory,” and Jiang Chengxue was a figure who operated in both the legitimate and underworld scenes; Xie Shang was worried about Wen Changling.

Chu Guanlin also left the dining area. Xie Shang’s reaction to the incoming call hadn’t escaped his notice.

Approaching Xie Shang, he borrowed a lighter and joked, “Is your girlfriend checking up on you?”

Xie Shang shook his head.

Chu Guanlin was Xie Shang’s university classmate and worked in the legal system. He knew some things about Xie Shang and had helped look for court files for a case involving Wen Zhaoyang before.

“Still the same one? No changes?”

Xie Shang had lit a cigarette but wasn’t really smoking, “Just her.”

*****

The next day was cloudy in Linbei. Linbei was further north than the capital, and the temperature was a few degrees lower.

Wen Changling went alone to a place, Anding Hospital. Anding Hospital was the best psychiatric hospital in Linbei. The nurses had been prepared in advance and directly took Wen Changling to the ward.

The door to the ward was locked, the person inside deprived of freedom.

After the nurse opened the door, she stepped aside to give privacy, and Wen Changling entered, closing the door behind her.

“Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Rucai, the youngest grandson of Jiang Lisong, the former chairman of Eastern Automobile.

He looked up and smiled at Wen Changling.

Wen Changling went over, cutting to the chase, “Mr. Jiang, if you want to leave this place, I can help you.”

Jiang Rucai, thirty-four this year, sat on the floor, his clothes and face covered in paint. He crouched over the paper on the floor, engrossed in doodling, “Painting, hehe, painting.”

Jiang Lisong once had three grandsons, but within two years, one died, one became disabled, and one went mad. With no one else left to turn to, the Jiang Family brought back Jiang Chengxue. He was not related to the Jiang Family by blood; he was brought into the family at the age of seven when his mother remarried. Upon his mother’s death, the Jiang Family abandoned him; his stepfather’s public reason for disowning him was that the stepson had mental issues.

Wen Changling placed her business card on the floor, then left.

The door was locked again. The man on the floor painting picked up and looked at the card for a while, then chewed it, swallowed it, and continued painting.
