Lin Jiayi and Xia Shangzhou fell silent once more.
Soon, the car stopped below Lin Jiayi's apartment.
Xia Shangzhou got out of the car and opened the door for Lin Jiayi. Just as Lin Jiayi was about to enter the apartment, she suddenly recalled something and turned around to look at Xia Shangzhou. "Don't forget about my matter …"
Xia Shangzhou knew that Lin Jiayi was referring to the matter of contacting Qin Ting. He tried his best to maintain his composure as he nodded at Lin Jiayi. "I remember …"
Lin Jiayi waved her hand and walked into the elevator without saying a word.
By the time the elevator doors closed, Xia Shangzhou's eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
He stood at the bottom of the building for a very long time until he saw that the lights in Lin Jiayi's apartment were already turned on. He knew that she had entered her apartment, so he returned to his car and drove away from her neighborhood.
He drove along the quiet street in the middle of the night. After driving for some distance, he suddenly braked and stopped the car by the side of the road.
He picked up his phone and searched for Chief Chen's number. He stared at the screen for a long while before he eventually dialed the number.
Very soon, the call was picked up, and Chief Chen's familiar voice sounded from the other end, "Assistant Xia, why did you suddenly call me?"
Xia Shangzhou exchanged a few pleasantries with Chief Chen before getting to the point, "It's like this. I called you to ask for a person's contact information … His name is Qin Ting, but I'm not too sure about his situation … Hmm … Alright, thank you … I received your message … Also, can I ask you one last thing? Do you know where Mr. Qin lives? Oh … The apartment next to Second Ring Road, right? Alright, alright … Thank you so much. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free … Goodbye. "
After hanging up the call, Xia Shangzhou tapped open the message Chief Chen had sent him. He stared at the eleven digits for a moment before sending a message over: [Hello, Mr. Qin. I'm Xia Shangzhou, Lin Jiayi's assistant. Chief Lin would like to meet you tomorrow night. May I know if you're free?]
Roughly a minute after the message was sent, Xia Shangzhou received a reply from Qin Ting: [Yes.]
Following which, Qin Ting sent another message: [May I know where to meet?]
Instead of replying to Qin Ting's words, Xia Shangzhou sent a screenshot of their conversation over to Lin Jiayi's WeChat.
Five minutes later, Xia Shangzhou's phone lit up. It was a call from Lin Jiayi. "Navigator, he agreed to it? That's great. Let's meet at the Peking Hotel tomorrow. When I was in America with him, I said I would take him there for a meal when I had time, but I never had the chance … Cancel all my itineraries for tomorrow night. No, cancel all my itineraries after 3 PM. Also, tell the manager of the Peking Hotel to prepare the freshest seafood in advance. Qin Ting likes it a lot … Also, let's meet at 6: 30 PM tomorrow night … Remember to ask them to open that bottle of good wine that I saved … "
Lin Jiayi had been talking to Xia Shangzhou for a very long time now, and when she noticed that Xia Shangzhou had gone silent, she asked, "Navigator, are you listening?"
"When I was here, I was listening …"
"Do you remember everything I said?"
"Got it … Is there anything else?"
