Chapter 653 Please Ask Them to Stop the Plane
Chuan felt a surge of uneasiness and worry, but he kept a straight face, pretending as if he had only received a simple order, "Alright."
He put down the call.
Before he could keep his phone inside his pockets, Ziyue bombarded him with a string of questions. "Was it Muchen? What did he say? Has he completed his work?"
Chuan uttered with a serious tone, "Mr. Qin asked if we'd arrived at the airport. As the client has a special status, he's monitoring the progress here."
Ziyue nodded and slowly removed her belt. "Has the client arrived? Do we get out of the car now?"
"Yes, they're here."
He followed her down the car.
They walked in front with bodyguards following behind them.
Recently, whenever she wasn't with Muchen, she would be assigned several bodyguards to protect her. She was used to it and didn't find it uncomfortable.
Ziyue didn't notice it in the car as she never paid attention to her surroundings, but now that she exited the car, she realized they were not in the international airport.
Ziyue felt puzzled about the situation. Before she could ask, Chuan explained, "The client took a private jet."
She was becoming increasingly interested in the identity of their mysterious client.
She wanted to confirm with Chuan if he was really unaware of the client's information. But she couldn't voice her queries when she saw how stern he looked.
When they entered the airport, she saw a private jet parked outside.
The atmosphere was heavy as the bodyguards were lined up on both sides of the boarding area.
Ziyue halted her footsteps.
Chuan noticed she had suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Mrs. Qin, is there something wrong?"
Ziyue openly shared her suspicions. "What is happening right now? Who are we here to receive? Is it Zixi?"
She made a bold assumption, but it wasn't unreasonable, seeing how things were unfolding.
Chuan and Muchen wouldn't expose any information about the client. Moreover, Muchen often mentioned that she would meet Zixi soon.
Her observation of such details only made her suspect such a possibility.
However, it seemed impossible.
After all, it was a sensitive period. If Zixi were here, it wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. Muchen wouldn't act in such a reckless manner.
"Mrs. Qin, why don't you follow me and see since we're already here?" Chuan seemed more at ease as they had already reached the airport.
Ziyue didn't resist anymore as she knew that Chuan was only following orders. Furthermore, Muchen had made a genuine request to her previously.
But the client was arrogant. He wouldn't get off the plane to greet them.
Chuan moved aside and gestured for her to walk in front of him. "Mrs. Qin, please walk in the front."
Ziyue followed his will and went in front of him.
She proceeded to climb up the stairs of the private jet, but an uneasy weight lingered in her heart.
As the strange feeling dawned on her, she slowed down her footsteps.
Behind her, Chuan felt anxious when she slowed down, but he lowered his head so she couldn't read his expressions.
Ziyue trusted her instinct. She knew that something wasn't right!
She stopped immediately. And as she was about to turn around, a bodyguard approached her from the cabin.
He stared at Ziyue and said, "Are you from LK Group?"
"Yes." Ziyue nodded.
"Our client has waited for a long time." The bodyguard stepped back and gestured for Ziyue to walk inside.
Ziyue was only a few steps away from entering the jet. Despite her inner alarms ringing, she continued walking up.
The situation seemed suspicious, but she believed in Muchen.
After all, he was jovial and pleasant last night.
"You can follow me."
Once Ziyue was inside, the bodyguard led her to the back of the cabin while Chuan followed closely behind.
The private jet wasn't as big as a passenger aircraft, but the facilities were exceptional.
Ziyue turned to look behind her and saw Chuan walking forward without hesitation.
After taking a few more steps, she heard a loud bang from the back.
It was loud but not unfamiliar, so it must have been the sound of the cabin door closing.
Ziyue's paused her footsteps abruptly. The uneasy weight she felt started creeping all over her body, but she couldn't understand why.
If the client were important to Muchen, he would be here to welcome him out of respect instead of letting her and Chuan receive the client. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
It was reasonable that Muchen could be busy because it was the first day of the election.
However, Muchen had always been thorough in his plans. If he knew he couldn't make it today, he would set an alternative date to meet with his 'client'.
These assumptions only applied if the 'client' actually existed.
Since the establishment of LK, there have been very few clients personally received from the airport by Muchen.
Muchen had been busy the past few days. As his secretary, although she helped him handle some of his matters, she never truly knew what kept him busy.
Ziyue was stormed with anger and confusion as she turned her head around and stared at Chuan. "There's no client, isn't there?"
Chuan had already ordered someone to close the cabin door, and the airplane was already moving forward, ready to take flight.
Throughout their journey here, he was afraid that Ziyue would unravel their intentions. So now that Ziyue had caught on to what was happening, he felt intense relief, as if he no longer carried the burden of keeping this secret to himself.
Ziyue tried to reign in her anger but couldn't regain her composure.
She interjected Chuan before he could explain, "Muchen wants to send me back home and lied to me that there was a client here. He pretended to be happy yesterday to fool me into trusting him."
She started her sentence, hoping to get an answer from Chuan, but eventually started rambling to herself.
She had to be right.
She couldn't go against him if he were that determined to lie to her.
He had always been able to achieve what he set out his mind to do.
As she ruminated over the revelation, the plane slowly sped up. She had to hold onto the cabin wall to stabilize herself during take-off. "Make them stop the plane! I'm getting down!"
Chuan answered without sparing a second, "No, I can't."
Just then, she saw the bodyguards that stood firmly behind Chuan. It was apparent that they were there to stop her.
After experiencing a light shake, they took off from the ground.
Ziyue could feel her blood boil as she pushed Chuan aside to run towards the door.
The bodyguards blocked her.
"Chuan, I need to get off the plane. Please ask them to stop the plane. I can't leave now. I can't leave Muchen." Ziyue's voice was trembling as she uttered her words.
