Chapter 670 A Plane Full of Gricy
Ziyue furrowed her brow and suddenly recalled whose voice it was. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Shichu?"
"Yes, it's me. Where's Muchen? Has he boarded the plane? Please tell me now!" Shichu's voice grew urgent. He did not waste time explaining but asked about Muchen when Ziyue picked up the call. That was very unlike him.
Ziyue did not waste time thinking. She knew Shichu called her due to something urgent. Moreover, she still trusted Shichu and told him the truth, "He has already boarded the plane. I saw him enter the security checkpoint and wait for his flight to take off before leaving."
Shichu fell silent upon hearing her answer.
However, she could hear his breathing grow heavy and felt the atmosphere turn depressing.
'Honk!'
The light had turned green. The cars at the back honked, urging her to leave.
For some reason, the honking noises made Ziyue uneasy. She gripped the steering wheel tightly. Impatient drivers behind her pressed the car horns and asked, "What's going on?"
'Tap! Tap!'
Someone knocked on her car window and began cursing when he saw Ziyue focused on a call and made no move to drive.
The car interior was soundproofed. Ziyue could not hear anything and was too anxious to care about her surroundings.
Meanwhile, Shichu said solemnly on the phone, "That flight is full of people from Gricy. If Muchen boarded the plane and the plane took off, you… might never see him again."
Shichu's words were undoubtedly bad news.
Ziyue's mind blanked for a few seconds.
Tears fell from her eyes, but her voice remained firm. "That's impossible! He returned secretly. No one knew!"
Shichu's tone turned solemn, "It doesn't matter how careful he is. He can never escape Gricy's constant surveillance! Ziyue, stop dwelling on these pointless speculations. My information is accurate. What you need to do now is to confirm whether Muchen boarded the flight."
Yes, Shichu is right. I need to confirm whether Muchen got onto that flight.
No matter how hopeless things seem, I must get to the airport.
She was on a one-way street, and her car was nowhere to turn around. Therefore, she got out of her car and left it there. She jumped over the barricade, got onto the road, and ran in the opposite direction.
She called Muchen's phone as she ran.
Muchen, please answer the phone!
If he answers the phone now, I will obey everything he says. I won't look at other men and wear a skirt during cold weather… I will do anything he wants!
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable."
An automated female voice repeatedly sounded on the phone.
Ziyue's heart sank. Tears clouded her vision.
She felt cold all over her body. The chill seeped into her bones.
Her stamina had never been great, and she hated running. However, she did not feel tired or even feel her legs. All she knew was that she must get to the airport.
She had no idea how long she ran, but every second felt dreadful and terrifying.
Finally, she arrived at the airport.
She grabbed one of the staff and asked, "Excuse me, did everyone get on the flight to Country J thirty minutes ago?"
The staff knew Ziyue was the wife of LK Group's president. Seeing how anxious she was, the staff
nodded and answered, "Please follow me. I'll check it for you."
The waiting time was long and torturous.
"Every person who purchased a ticket for that flight has boarded the plane."
Ziyue used up much energy running to the airport. The staff's words extinguished all the remaining rays of hope in her heart.
Furthermore, she was physically exhausted, and the despair left her crushed. Suddenly, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the floor.
The staff was shocked by her sudden fall.
"Mrs. Qin, are you okay?"
Ziyue shook her head and waved her hands. "I'm fine. Thank you."
She forced herself to stand up. Then, she bent over with her hands on her knees to calm herself before getting back up and walking outside.
The bodyguard finally caught up with her when she exited the airport.
They were a little embarrassed by their oversight. At the time, Ziyue ran so suddenly that the bodyguards in the car behind hers could not react in time.
By the time they realized what had happened, they had no choice but to chase after her. Unfortunately,
they could not keep up with her.
"Mrs. Qin?"
"I'm going home," Ziyue said coldly without looking at them and continued ahead.
The bodyguards were stunned by her emotionless expression and dared not say anything. They could only follow her quietly.
A car was already waiting nearby. One of the bodyguards opened the door. Ziyue entered the car without a word.
He dared not ask her what had happened and could only focus on driving.
Ziyue sat completely still in her seat. After a few minutes, she seemed to have come to her senses.
Shichu's words replayed in her mind.
Ziyue knew better than anyone how cautious Muchen was.
Even if Gricy assigned people to watch him constantly, Muchen would still find ways to escape their notice.
That means there could be a spy hidden among those close to Muchen. The spy must have relayed to Gricy about his return to Yunzhou City, enabling Gricy to act against him.
Muchen said he believes Yuchuan is colluding with someone in Gricy.
That is very probable. Yuchuan must have played a part in revealing Muchen's whereabouts.
Yuchuan most likely has a hand in this.
Ziyue looked up and shouted at the driver in front. "Speed up! I need to get there at the fastest speed!"
Once the car arrived at Cloud Bay, Ziyue did not greet anyone and hid somewhere to call Chuan.
However, Chuan did not answer any of her calls.
Then, she called Ke, but no one answered either.
She had no choice but to look for Jingshu.
Muchen's return to Yunzhou City was a highly confidential matter. Ziyue sent him off alone to avoid arousing suspicion.
…
The lights in Jingshu's house were still on.
Zixi was fast asleep. Jinghshu and Xia waited for Ziyue to come over and bring Zixi home.
She should have returned from the airport a long time ago. Could something have happened?
A car stopped outside the house as he was pondering.
Then, a flurry of footsteps followed, coming closer.
Ziyue soon appeared at the door.
She walked in and did not ask for Zixi. Instead, she went to Jingshu and said, "Muchen got on the plane, but the plane is full of people working for Gricy."
"Can you slow down? What's going on?" Jingshu's expression turned stern upon hearing the word 'Gricy.' However, Ziyue had spoken too fast for him to catch what she said.
Ziyue closed her eyes and knocked her head with clenched fists, trying to clear her thoughts. Then, she opened her eyes and continued, "Someone must have leaked that he left Country J and exposed his whereabouts. That must be how Gricy could tamper with his flight in such a short time."
