“Director Jiang, You Can’t Turn Around on the Expressway!”

A black Cayenne raced along the highway. The man sitting in the back was wearing a black high-end suit. It was ironed without a single wrinkle that wrapped around his muscular figure. He had Bluetooth earphones hanging from his ears, and his low and mellow voice was communicating in a pure British accent.

Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to look at him after answering the call.

Jiang Yanshen saw from the corner of his eye that Lu Yuan seemed like there was something he wanted to say but hesitated to. He ended the call.

Lu Yuan: “We’ve already picked him up. He’ll be here in the afternoon.”

Jiang Yanshen nodded and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he said, “Help me connect a video call to Lin Qingqian.”

Lu Yuan immediately called Lin Qingqian when he heard this. The cold mechanical voice reminded him that the other party’s number was not in service.

“Director Jiang, I can’t get through to Madam.”

Jiang Yan suddenly frowned. He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already ten in the morning. She should be up at this time.

His well-defined fingers took out his phone and dialed her number. It was still a cold system message—the user you’re calling is not in the service area. Please call again later.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car was getting colder and colder, Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva and said carefully, “Perhaps Madam is busy and didn’t look at her phone.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen’s phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call and his expression darkened. His deep eyes were like an abyss where cold wind kept blowing out. His thin lips squeezed out two words. “Turn around.”

The driver and Lu Yuan were stunned. Lu Yuan was facing huge pressure and braced himself to say, “Director Jiang, we can’t turn around on the highway!!”

Jiang Yan’s cold and sharp gaze shot at him like a blade, as if he wanted to execute him.

Lu Yuan looked at the driver for help and asked him to think of something!!

The driver felt a chill run up his spine. His sharp eyes noticed that there was a toll station in front of him and he hurriedly said, “Director Jiang, there’s a toll station in front. We can get off the highway from there. I know of another way back to Lan City.”

Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. He picked up his phone and made a call. His voice was tense and filled with uncontrollable anger. “Help me find someone.”

On the other end of the line, Gu Xici was listening to his subordinate report on the cases that had recently been transferred to him. He said angrily, “I’m a criminal police officer, not a detective.”

“—Lin Qingqian!”

Jiang Yanshen squeezed out these three words coldly. Gu Xici was silent for a moment before answering, “Got it.”

After hanging up, he heard Lu Yuan’s surprised voice. “Madam is missing? How can that be?”

“She was fine when I sent the invitation earlier. I was even fixing the faucet for her!” Lu Yuan’s face was filled with confusion. “Could it be that the faucet is broken again? Did she call a repairman?”

So something had happened?

When Jiang Yanshen heard his words, his black eyes narrowed. “You helped her fix the faucet?”

Lu Yuan nodded. He was originally worried that he would not be able to find an opportunity to take credit, but he had to seize this opportunity.

“I went to send the invitation. Coincidentally, the faucet in Madam’s bathroom was broken. Madam asked me if I knew how to fix it. Of course I said I did. I even fixed it for her.”

Jiang Yanshen frowned even more. “What did she say when she asked you to fix the faucet?”

Lu Yuan shook his head. “No, Madam just poured me a glass of water. I left after drinking it.”

Could it be that he was not allowed to even drink a glass of water?

“Just treated you to a glass of water?” A glint floated in the corners of Jiang Yanshen’s slender eyes. “Nothing else happened?”

Lu Yuan recalled what happened that day carefully. “There really wasn’t anything. Madam was still worried that I would dirty the suit. She helped me bring my suit to the living room.”

“Heh!” A cold laugh squeezed out of Jiang Yanshen’s throat, making Lu Yuan tremble in fear.
