Chapter 788 - 786: Rescue in the Capital City
Chen Tianlong didn’t say anything further, directly took out his phone, and dialed Lin Batian’s number: "Mr. Lin, I need help."
"Chen Tianlong, what’s the matter? Just say it." Lin Batian was taken aback and said.
"Please ask Mr. Hu to help me book a ticket to the Capital City, as early as possible." Chen Tianlong spoke without any tone.
"No problem, once the result is out, I’ll have Mr. Hu notify you." Although Lin Batian didn’t know what had happened, he would wholeheartedly support.
"Thanks!"
After saying thanks, Chen Tianlong hung up the phone, walked out of the police station, hid in the car, and patiently waited for Mr. Hu’s response.
Zhang Yufei felt a bit heartache, seeing the cold expression on Chen Tianlong’s face, an unspeakable feeling.
She knew that this fearless guy, facing such a situation, would also show this expression. It could only be imagined how important Wu Mengting was in his heart.
"Chen Tianlong, it’ll be fine... Should I accompany you there?" Zhang Yufei thought for a moment and said.
"No need..."
This time, Chen Tianlong didn’t want to bring anyone, because he planned to act decisively.
Besides, Zhang Yufei wouldn’t be of much help anyway; she’s just a regular police officer. If those kidnappers are experts, Zhang Yufei going would only make things more troublesome.
Chen Tianlong just wanted to go alone to deal with the matter.
Zhang Yufei didn’t say anything further, but smiled slightly and sat in the car.
About ten minutes later, Mr. Hu’s call came in: "Mr. Hu, how did it go?"
"Chen Tianlong, it’s settled. Where are you now? The flight is at noon, twelve o’clock; you can go now."
Mr. Hu handled affairs swiftly, settling it in just ten minutes or so.
No wonder, since he bought the ticket under the Lin Family’s name, where even the captain would show some respect; buying a ticket is naturally not a problem.
"Received, thanks Mr. Hu."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianlong’s face relaxed considerably, and he said to Zhang Yufei in the passenger’s seat: "Yufei, you get off here; I’m heading to the airport."
"No need, you go to the airport; I’ll drive the car back. When you return, I’ll pick you up!" Zhang Yufei had clearly thought it through; she would then have two chances to be with Chen Tianlong, the thought made her happy.
Chen Tianlong thought about it and decided it was fine, nodded to Zhang Yufei, started the engine, stepped on the gas, quickly made a turn at the police station entrance, and began speeding towards the airport.
Along the way, Zhang Yufei kept watching him, words in her heart almost spoken yet held back.
After all, at times like this, no amount of comfort would make a difference. No one could truly understand the fear and worry in Chen Tianlong’s heart.
The two remained silent, and after roughly ten minutes, suddenly Chen Tianlong spoke.
"Yufei, thank you. Every time something happens, you’re always by my side."
Chen Tianlong recalled the previous incident with Lin Wushuang, when she went with him to Beiji Medical Manor, and now, with Wu Mengting’s situation, she was there again.
Suddenly, he felt Zhang Yufei was like an angel in his life, guarding him in times of pain and despair.
"Hehe, we are friends."
Zhang Yufei smiled sweetly, at this moment smiling radiantly. Every compliment and thank you from Chen Tianlong would be her most beautiful memories.
"Yes, forever friends." Chen Tianlong said.
Only, Chen Tianlong’s words unintentionally touched Zhang Yufei’s sensitive nerves, bringing an unspeakable bitterness.
Forever friends, does this mean they’ll always just be friends?
Though being friends can last a lifetime, being lovers might lead to breakups. But even if brief, the fact that they loved and hurt is more desirable than lifelong friendship.
Seeing Zhang Yufei silent, Chen Tianlong instinctively glanced over, only to find Zhang Yufei looking somewhat dazed and asked curiously: "Yufei, what’s wrong?"
"Ah? Oh, it’s nothing, just spaced out a moment ago." Zhang Yufei purposely said.
"Okay, we’re almost there. When you drive later, be cautious." Chen Tianlong remained thoughtful as ever.
"Got it." Zhang Yufei nodded, the car sped down the highway, and about ten minutes later, they arrived at the airport entrance.
After getting out of the car, Chen Tianlong waved to Zhang Yufei and quickly entered the airport. It was already eleven, and it was time to board the plane.
Luckily, the flight wasn’t delayed; everything was smooth along the way, with no unexpected encounters or incidents.
Besides, with Chen Tianlong in a very bad mood now, he had no inclination to socialize with any beauties; even if there was an encounter, he would miss it.
After two hours of a short flight, Chen Tianlong finally arrived in the Capital City.
But upon stepping into this unfamiliar yet familiar city, he suddenly felt lonely and empty.
Thinking of Wu Mengting being captured, he was full of worry. Just at this moment, suddenly his back seemed bumped by someone, turned around quickly, and it turned out to be a woman.
"Bingshuang, why is it you?" Chen Tianlong was somewhat pleasantly surprised; he hadn’t expected Li Bingshuang to come and meet him.
"Humph, you’re my husband; if I don’t come to meet you, who will?" Li Bingshuang still maintained a cold demeanor, even though she lost her company and home.
Chen Tianlong didn’t speak but directly wrapped Li Bingshuang tightly in his embrace.
"Sorry, Bingshuang, I was the one who harmed you..."
"Stop!"
Li Bingshuang directly interrupted Chen Tianlong, "That doesn’t sound like something our Sect Leader would say. Being a person means taking things as they are; though we’ve lost now, I believe we’ll recover."
"Hmm, I understand."
Chen Tianlong suddenly felt Li Bingshuang was like a big sister, even more unflustered than he was.
"Well, I don’t have a villa or company, just a rental apartment of dozens of square meters. If you don’t mind, you can come there to rest a bit." Li Bingshuang said lightly.
"Haha, Bingshuang, the way you say it, even if it’s a small den, I’d be willing to stay with you." Chen Tianlong was very touched. This woman had given him so much from the start to now, and even under such circumstances, she never pressured him.
Although the company was gone, Li Bingshuang still had her car, so the two drove back to Li Bingshuang’s place.
Sure enough, it was an ordinary suite, which didn’t matter to Chen Tianlong, but for Li Bingshuang, a high-ranking CEO, it truly was a bit of a compromise.
"Chen Tianlong, you’re tired, right? Rest on the bed, and I’ll cook for you."
Li Bingshuang cared for Chen Tianlong like a wife, meticulously and attentively.
"Bingshuang, come here!"
Chen Tianlong was somewhat touched. It turned out that without her cold exterior, Li Bingshuang became incredibly adorable and heartfeltly lovable.
Chen Tianlong held Li Bingshuang tightly, and she, already consumed with longing, pressed her lips to his. The two indulged in the delight of the moment.
