Chapter 40.1
Ji Fanyin walked away with her suitcase in hand. She hitched a ride on one of the suitcase transportation vehicles passing by instead of taking the one specially reserved for Bai Zhous usage.
Bai Zhou looked out of the window to stare at her departing silhouette until she disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Fetching from the airport I dont even have anyone to fetch me, but Ji Fanyins little bro actually wanted to fetch her from the airport in the middle of the night?
Ji Fanyin hailed a cab to return home.
Of course, there was no way she would let Chen Yunsheng fetch her without any heads up. It was much more convenient for her to directly hail a cab, especially since she wanted to get home as soon as possible.
She needed to rest up well and adjust herself to the jetlag so that she could deal with Cen Xiangyang tomorrow night.
The following day.
While she had slept well for the night, she wasnt able to meet Cen Xiangyang the following day. Someone blocked her path the moment she walked out of her apartment.
It was a familiar faceLi Xiaoxings secretary.
Miss Ji, Mr Li wishes to meet you.
Li Xiaoxings secretary was accompanied by a muscular person who appeared to be a bodyguard.
Ji Fanyin took a moment to consider her current situation.
Li Xiaoxing probably realized that the person he met in Greece was me and not Ji Xinxin, so hes here to settle the scores.
If so, theres just one last question I need to answer here: Should I meet him or not?
Ji Fanyin knew far too little about Li Xiaoxing, and it seemed too risky to meet him when she didnt even know what he had in mind.
However, it was unlikely that the duo standing before her was going to take no for an answer.
Wheres Mr Li? asked Ji Fanyin.
Hes in the car downstairs.
If Li Xiaoxing came down here personally, it should be safe to assume that he isnt here to get rid of me.
With such thoughts in mind, Ji Fanyin said, I have an appointment with someone else. May I make a call to inform the other party that I wont be able to make it?
The secretary politely raised his hand to gesture for her to go ahead.
But just as Ji Fanyin had tapped into her list of contacts and was about to make the call, the secretary suddenly asked, Is the appointment youre talking about the one with Cen Xiangyang?
Ji Fanyin halted. She smiled at the secretary and said, It looks like Mr Li has conducted a thorough investigation.
You need not waste your time. Someone will inform Cen Xiangyang on your behalf, the secretary said. It also has to do with why Mr Li wishes to meet you.
Ji Fanyins eyebrows shot up.
Given that Li Xiaoxing had seen her with Bai Zhou, it shouldnt be too hard for him to figure out what was going on.
The secretary stepped aside and ushered her forward. Miss Ji, this way please.
Ji Fanyin decided to go along with them to meet Li Xiaoxing.
But on her way down, she openly sent a text message to one of her contacts: Im going to meet Li Xiaoxing now. If you dont receive any response from me within three hours, Ill have to trouble you to call the police
The person she chose was Zhang Ning.
One, Zhang Ning was a smart woman with means. Her background and capability meant that it was unlikely that she would get outright suppressed by Li Xiaoxing. Two, Ji Fanyin had conversed with her on several occasions, and she felt that the latter was a trustworthy person.
Of her entire contact list, there was no one more suitable than Zhang Ning.
Li Xiaoxings secretary didnt stop her from sending out the message either.
