Chapter 592 Let's get down to business
Bai Yuan watched as Qin Lingzheng blinked his innocent puppy eyes, like a dog that hadn't participated in the mess. His clear and confident gaze, coupled with his alibi, made him appear self-righteous.
When Bai Yuan looked over, he exuded an obvious sense of pride.
Bai Yuan did not disappoint him, and cooperated to confirm his statement:
"It is indeed a work requirement."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lingzheng immediately straightened his chest and openly cast a provocative glance at Pei Jin from behind Bai Yuan, but then instantly switched back to his previous puppy-dog eyes when Bai Yuan looked over.
Pei Jin was speechless with frustration, feeling a surge of anger welling up inside him. He gritted his teeth and clicked his tongue, saying:
"What kind of job?!"
He didn't believe their explanations and insisted on getting to the bottom of things until they gave a clear answer.
Qin Lingzheng glanced at Bai Yuan with feigned difficulty, but Bai Yuan said calmly:
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't know. Get on the plane."
Pei Jin: …
After saying that, without caring about Pei Jin's expression, he walked past the two of them and headed towards the plane that had been waiting for a long time.
Qin Lingzheng snapped his fingers, signaling the staff behind him to load the luggage onto the plane, while he himself, with his hands in his pockets, followed closely behind Bai Yuan and boarded the plane as well.
Pei Jin was left standing there dumbfounded.
Although he wanted to stop them, neither of the two people on the other side listened to him, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger and suppress the humiliation of the day, secretly making a mental note to find an opportunity to retaliate in the future.
Waiting to return to Haiqi...
However, he didn't throw a tantrum and refuse to board the plane.
After all, they were on the Bai family's private plane today; otherwise, they would have been left alone in Beijing.
on the plane.
After boarding the plane, Qin Lingzheng didn't rest. He kept watching until the staff had safely placed his large suitcase before finally letting out a sigh of relief and returning to his seat. He smiled at Bai Yuan and said:
"Thanks."
Although Qin Lingzheng was transferred from the border to the capital as a public official, his status and position still belonged to special operations personnel. His trip to Haiqi was naturally arranged by his superiors, and his work was all within the scope of secrecy.
Although Bai Yuan did not know the specifics, she came from a privileged background and understood the situation without needing to be told in detail. She and Qin Lingzheng had a certain tacit understanding without needing to ask any further questions.
The contents of the suitcase could not pass the regular security check. This time, the choice to take a private plane to Haiqi was a special arrangement made by the Bai family to accommodate Qin Lingzheng's work needs.
The Bai family doesn't lack this one plane, and there's nothing wrong with the eldest daughter of the Bai family traveling by private jet.
Even if others saw Qin Lingzheng board the plane with them, given his reputation over the years, they would only assume that he was shamelessly tagging along with Bai Yuan and wouldn't think anything more of it.
Bai Yuan's identity also added an extra layer of security to this trip, preventing her from becoming a target for no reason in the air.
After Bai Yuan and Qin Lingzheng had settled in, Pei Jin arrived late and boarded the plane. He sat down between the two of them with his head held high and chest out, pretending to be casual, thus preventing any possible "flirting" between them.
Soon, the plane took off.
The three people—two men and one woman—with their hair cut and fingers pointing wildly, were crammed into this enclosed space. Logically, there should have been undercurrents of tension and tension, a prelude to a battleground.
However, the journey was unusually peaceful. Qin Lingzheng, who had instigated the trouble, sat quietly in his seat the whole time, without trying to provoke Pei Jin again. Instead, he seemed to be conserving his energy and sat quietly for the entire journey.
On the contrary, Pei Jin was unaware of Qin Lingzheng's plans and was on high alert the whole way, his nerves taut. He was even somewhat dazed at the end, which was a stark contrast to the energetic Qin Lingzheng after he got off the plane.
Fortunately, after getting off the plane, Qin Lingzheng didn't say much. Just as he had said when he arrived, as if he really had something important to do, he told someone to take the black suitcase from the plane, drag it into another car that had been prepared in advance, and soon disappeared from the airport.
Pei Jin had been on guard for a long time, but when he saw Qin Lingzheng just pat his behind and leave so casually, he felt a sense of defeat, like punching cotton. He had taken it seriously, but the other party didn't care at all. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He stared blankly in the direction Qin Lingzheng left, still out of the loop.
"What are you looking at? Let's go." Seeing that Pei Jin hadn't moved, Bai Yuan, who had already gotten into the car, rolled down the window and called out.
Pei Jin belatedly came to his senses and got into the car with Bai Yuan, leaving the airport.
the other side.
After parting ways with Bai Yuan, Qin Lingzheng first went to the handover point to hand over the box, and was then invited to participate in a small meeting, where he saw many familiar faces.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, Qin Lingzheng sat down in his empty seat and officially joined the meeting.
after an hour.
Qin Lingzheng, who had been sitting upright for a long time, felt uncomfortable all over. Even though he was used to wearing military uniforms and had long been accustomed to military management in the army, he still felt suffocated in this formal suit.
As he unbuttoned his shirt, he walked down the steps with the air of someone slipping through his fingers and quickly jumped into the car that had been waiting for him.
"Let's go—"
Qin Lingzheng suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.
He originally planned to go directly to Bai Yuan after resolving things here, but then suddenly realized that he was already in Haiqi.
But it's not about "even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake" or being timid when outside one's own territory; rather—
Qin Lingzheng's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to carefully button up his suit jacket, which had been mostly unbuttoned and revealing a white shirt.
After doing all this, Qin Lingzheng leaned back in his chair, slowly exhaled, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change, giving the impression of a mastermind crawling in the shadows at any moment.
This sense of déjà vu became even stronger when Qin Lingzheng crossed his hands on his lap.
After striking a pose, Qin Lingzheng announced a location. Upon hearing the instruction, the driver didn't hesitate and sped off.
The underground parking garage of the Lin's Building.
The elevator doors opened, and Lin Chen, with his phone tucked between his shoulder and arm, handed his car keys to his assistant behind him. He then reached into his pocket and fumbled for his missing Bluetooth earphone.
As the conversation with the client reached a crucial point, Lin Chen turned around while speaking intently. He instinctively heard the sound of a car behind him and assumed that his assistant had already driven up. Without looking, he reached out and opened the car door.
Lin Chen was about to get into the car when he was caught off guard and saw that someone was already sitting in the back seat. After a slight pause, he immediately realized that he had gotten into the wrong car and immediately showed an apologetic expression.
Before he could apologize to the people inside, several men in black suits and sunglasses suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were all burly and muscular, and without saying a word, they shoved him into the car and sped away.
The assistant, who was half a step late in driving back, was left staring blankly at the empty underground parking garage, wondering where his boss was.
