Chapter 596: 596
“Mr . Lu, we’ve got the information! They’ve booked the 10 pm flight back to Beijing today . ”
Lu Nanze laughed mockingly upon hearing this . “Bring them to me!”
“Roger,” his bodyguard said before he turned around and started walking away .
“Wait . ”
The bodyguard turned and saw Lu Nanze putting on his jacket . “I’ll come with you . ”
That evening, a fleet of five black sedans departed the villa together .
They drove in a neat formation towards the airport .
All along the way, it attracted curious stares from countless people .
They arrived at the airport an hour and a half later .
Lu Nanze got out of the car and strode into the building .
“Sir, they booked the XX flight and will board in half an hour . All our men are already waiting there . ”
Nodding, Lu Nanze gave the go-ahead, “Let’s go . ”
The group of men arrived at the boarding gate .
A few of them were ready to perform a thorough check, however, Lu Nanze swept his gaze through the crowd and told them with a hand wave, “She’s not among them . Keep waiting . ”
“Roger . ”
Half an hour passed .
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan had not made an appearance .
The passengers were starting to board the aircraft . Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes . He waited till everyone had boarded the plane, and he waited till the plane took off . And still, the two did not appear .
Then suddenly his pupils shrank again . “They fooled us!”
At that instant, Song Cheng was speeding along the expressway with his two passengers in the car . They had traveled a few hundred kilometers and were about another half a day’s drive from their destination, Beijing .
Qiao Lian stared steadily at the man beside her . Ever since he had returned to the hotel, he had not spoken a word, and instead had swiftly packed their belongings and left with her in tow . She had wanted to speak a few times but had stopped herself each time . Eventually, she could not hold back . “What about the film? How did that matter go?”
Shen Liangchuan glanced at her with little expression and said in response, “It’s been settled . ”
Qiao Lian bit her lip . “And the outcome?”
He continued, “I terminated the contract . ”
He said it simply, without a hint that showed the sacrifice involved .
Qiao Lian was surprised .
Terminated the contract?
Shen Liangchuan had put in a lot of effort into this film .
In the last few months, he had spent almost all of his time analyzing the script .
The research that he had done on Cao Cao as a historical figure had been so extensive that he now knew as much as the archaeologists . He had even gone to a professor at the History Faculty of the university to seek a private lecture and learn all that was known about this man .
He was passionate about this film .
It was obvious to Qiao Lian . But he had dropped it just like that…
Qiao Lian bit her lip and hung her head . She paused for a moment and then said, “Shen Liangchuan, I’m sorry…”
He turned towards her . Seeing all the guilt on her face, he couldn’t help himself from reaching out and putting his arms around her shoulders . “Xiao Qiao…”
“Hmmm?”
Qiao Lian lifted her head and looked at him .
“No matter how tough it gets, we’ll make the journey together, ok?”
She bit her lip upon hearing this .
Finally, she nodded .
In the time to come, she would discover that it was easier said than done . They were in for a rough ride .
Night had fallen now .
In order to get back to Beijing as quickly as possible, they had not taken a break at all .
Qiao Lian fell asleep, only to realize by the time she woke up that the sky had darkened .
Looking into the dark night, she suddenly felt that there was no light at the end of this seemingly long tunnel she was travelling through .
She turned to glance at Shen Liangchuan and noticed that he had shut his eyes to rest . Sensing her movement, he opened his eyes now .
She bit her lip as she looked at him steadily . Then she spoke, “Zi Chuan, why are you so good to me?”
Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened as she continued with a question:
“Zi Chuan, on that day eight years ago… why didn’t you turn up?”
