The two of them hurried out of the hospital.
"Where is he?" Cheng Jinyang quickly looked around, but he could not find him anywhere.
"I'll notify the family first, you go contact Xing Yuanzhi and ask her to use the Ground Network to check Chu Debiao's traffic records!" Chu Qingqing quickly dialed the phone.
Making a big fuss is definitely impossible. Although no family can truly be clean under the threat of ideological imprint, spreading the news of an insider betrayal in the Yangdi Chu family could easily invite ridicule and disdain from other noble families, damaging the reputation and honor of the family.
For Chu Qingqing, the best approach would be to immediately inform her parents and let the family handle the matter in secret, tidying up everything as soon as possible. Whether the follow-up strategy involves limited disclosure or complete family secrecy, executing it will be much smoother.
After receiving a call from his daughter, Chu Jiye neither asked many questions nor demanded evidence from Chu Qingqing. He immediately took his secret guards and set out to pursue Chu Debiao throughout the city.
Cheng Jinyang couldn't help but sigh at how impetuous this Lord Attendant is. Last time, at the outskirts of the metal hydrogen factory, he immediately demanded that both him and Ah Zhi go in search of their seniors. And now, without verifying anything, he's taking people out again, as if every extra second of thought is a waste of time. Too reckless.
Ten minutes later, Xing Yuanzhi's reply came: It was found that the guy drove through Wan'an East Road towards the Jiangning Industrial Park!
He had no intention of returning to the clan!
So, all we need to do now is wait for the Lord Attendant to catch that mole, and this mission will be successfully completed.
Thinking like this, Cheng Jinyang was caught off guard as Chu Qingqing grabbed his hand and hailed a passing taxi.
Cheng Jinyang: ???
"What are you waiting for? Get in the car!" Chu Qingqing quickly opened the door and urged him on.
"Hey, after confirming the target, our contract has ended..." Before Cheng Jinyang could say anything else, he was forcefully pulled into the car by Chu Qingqing. He didn't even have time to sit properly before falling onto her lap.
With the fragrance of her body and her soft warmth against his neck, he hurriedly tried to sit up, but Chu Qingqing firmly held him down, refusing to let him go, and shouted:
"I'll pay more!"
Cheng Jinyang: .......
Damn it, she smells so good!
The driver is an elderly man. He watched from the rearview mirror as a boy in the back seat is pulled onto a girl's lap, forcefully, and he heard something about 'paying more money,' immediately jumping to a misunderstanding.
Wow, kids these days are really something else.
"Drive fast! To Jiangning Industrial Park!" Chuchu noticed the driver's discreet glance and quickly shouted.
So the taxi slowly started up and headed northeast.
"Drive faster!" Chuchu urged again.
"Got it," the driver said, but still didn't press on the accelerator, moving forward at a leisurely pace.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Chu Qingqing exclaimed anxiously once again.
She's quite impatient... quite similar to her father, the Lord Attendant, so this is what they call 'like father, like daughter'?
"Miss, the speed limit in the city is 60," the driver said calmly.
The taxi drove for more than ten minutes before slowly stopping in front of the pedestrian crossing.
"What's going on now!" Chu Qingqing couldn't bear it anymore.
"The car is yielding to pedestrians." The driver took out a tea cup and leisurely drank water, watching an old lady crossing the pedestrian crossing ahead.
"Damn it!" Chu Qingqing finally cursed, pulling Cheng Jinyang out of the car and then flagging down another one on the roadside.
The driver this time was a shirtless middle-aged man, smoking a cigarette, and both arms replaced with metal prosthetics. There was a skull tattoo with painted muscles on the biceps, clearly indicating a tough demeanor.
To prevent Miss Chu from urging again and potentially getting into a verbal conflict with this tough guy, Cheng Jinyang quickly said as he closed the car door:
"Boss, go to Jiangning Industrial Park. We're in a hurry, can you go faster?"
The driver immediately glared, "Faster? Speeding will get fined, will you pay for me? If I get my license revoked, will you help me retake the test?"
"Big brother!" Chu Qingqing immediately teared up and pleaded, "My brother had an accident at the Jiangning Industrial Park. I heard he's half trapped under a container. I need to go there quickly... Please, I beg you~"
"Should have told me earlier!" the driver casually flicked the cigarette out of the car window. "No worries, I'll get you there as fast as I can! As long as he's not brain dead, swapping his disabled body for a metallic one can save him. Both of you, buckle up and sit tight!"
He pressed down on the panel next to the steering wheel, revealing a big red button, and then he punched it.
And the car immediately started accelerating, accelerating, accelerating... and then it took off!
Damn it! Cheng Jinyang turned his head in shock and saw flames shooting out from the back of the car, with even the seats seeming to heat up.
"Boss, is this car illegally modified?" he exclaimed in astonishment.
"Hahaha!" the driver burst into laughter, "Before I retired, I used to smuggle goods. Every time the customs team chased me, I activated the flying mode, zooming ahead along the highway. Never once did I get caught!"
Ah ah ah ah ah!
Cheng Jinyang and Chu Qingqing screamed in their hearts at the same time, afraid that the car would stall and fall halfway through.
As it turned out, the driver indeed had excellent driving skills. The speeding car raced along the elevated expressway, quickly reaching near Jiangning Industrial Park, much faster than driving on the ground.
"Which factory?" The master began to hover overhead.
Cheng Jinyang: ......
Chu Qingqing: ......
The two hurriedly called Xing Yuanzhi.
"He got off the car a few minutes ago and entered an abandoned factory in the northwest corner of the park!" Xing Yuanzhi said quickly. "Don't rush in to confront him. Qingqing, your father will arrive soon!"
"I got it (but I won't listen)!" Chu Qingqing ended the communication on her end and immediately said to the driver, "Please land somewhere in the northwest corner of the park."
So the car landed on the street in the northwest, and as soon as it touched down, Chu Qingqing rushed out of the car.
Cheng Jinyang could only quickly pay the fare to the driver, then followed Chu Qingqing's figure to the entrance of an abandoned factory.
Continuing, the two of them saw Chu Debiao sitting on the edge of the factory roof, his legs dangling outside as if he could jump down at any moment.
"You finally came," he said with a smile.
"You..." Chu Qingqing took a few steps forward, asking in a low voice, "Why did you betray us?"
"Why?" Chu Debiao looked at her calmly, "Sometimes, once a person makes a wrong step, there's no turning back."
"If it's just being stamped with ideological imprint, it's not an unforgivable sin." Chu Qingqing said coldly, "Come down immediately and wait for father to arrive before deciding."
"Qingqing, do you think after I've done such a thing, the family will still continue to protect me?" Chu Debiao couldn't help but laugh, his voice gradually lowering. "Besides, I don't want to live anymore..."
"The Yangdi Chu family, where did they wrong you!?" Chu Qingqing's expression became stern. "Why would you do such a thing?"
"Indeed, the family has not treated me poorly," Chu Debiao said calmly, "It's just my own ingratitude."
"You?!!" Chu Qingqing angrily exclaimed, almost about to burst into curses. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
People have already calmly admitted to being 'biting the hand that feeds,' what else can she say? No amount of accusation will have any impact now.
"Jinyang," Chu Debiao on the rooftop turned his gaze to Cheng Jinyang and said, "Do you understand what despair is? It's the kind of despair where you know you're sinking deeper and deeper into the mud pit, but you keep struggling to get out..."
"Of course, I understand," Cheng Jinyang said coldly.
My parents are both deceased. My childhood sweetheart lives in a dream, and I'm tortured by nightmares every night. Do you think I don't understand despair? In the three years before meeting Ah Zhi, I lived in despair every day!
My pain surpasses yours, ahhhh!
"No, you don't understand," Chu Debiao said lightly, "because you don't have a sister."
Cheng Jinyang: ......
