Chapter 196: Prophetic Insight
"Yes, because the cosmetics from Sakula Country and Longmen Continent are excellent, our company needs to import some raw materials from these two countries!"
"At the same time, we also need to export some cosmetics to these two countries. Although sales aren’t huge, every little bit helps!" Bai Shishi said in a deep voice.
"I finally understand why Wang Quan is so determined to fight you for this small company, Beautiful Woman!" Lin Tian exclaimed, rushing out of the villa door to see if Chen Moxiang has already left.
Unfortunately, outside the villa was empty, with not a single person in sight. Chen Moxiang must have already headed to Wang Quan’s house.
"It’s likely that going to Wang Quan’s house now would be pointless!" Lin Tian sighed and shook his head.
"Lin Tian, you still haven’t told me why Wang Quan wants to fight me for Beautiful Woman?" Bai Shishi remained uncomprehending.
"Why? Because through the Beautiful Woman company, Wang Quan is able to secretly ship artifacts and intelligence. Without this company, Wang Quan’s goals can’t be achieved!"
Lin Tian’s face darkened. "Miss Bai has encountered trouble several times recently. I suspect it might be Wang Quan’s doing. Even if it’s not him, it’s definitely related to Mr. Zhuge!"
"Huh?" Bai Shishi was stunned.
Lin Tian’s words suddenly made her see the light.
But at the same time, she felt a vague worry. If it really is like this, wouldn’t she also be an accomplice?
"Lin Tian, if it’s really as you say, I fear the end for Beautiful Woman isn’t far off!" Bai Shishi said with a serious expression.
"There’s still a chance to salvage the situation!" Lin Tian had also thought of this.
Setting aside the things that have been smuggled before, if this time’s goods are smuggled out,
and if Wang Quan successfully escapes, then when the Security Management Institute, led by Chen Moxiang, gets to the bottom of things, Beautiful Woman will not be able to escape responsibility.
At that time, the company will definitely have to shut down.
The urgent task is to stop Wang Quan from escaping and to prevent further smuggling of artifacts overseas.
After pondering for a while, Lin Tian asked, "Where is the Beautiful Woman company’s dock?"
It would be best if Chen Moxiang catches Wang Quan, but if not, now the only way to leave the Celestial Dragon Continent is probably by ship.
"The dock is in Waihai City!"
Bai Shishi paused for a bit, and continued, "There’s a branch in Waihai City specifically responsible for shipping cosmetics abroad!"
"Waihai City?" Lin Tian heard this and wasn’t in a hurry.
Even by plane, it takes four hours to get from Kanyue City to Waihai City. If Wang Quan really intends to escape, he only has the option of traveling by car, which would take at least a day and a night to reach Waihai City.
"What should we do now?" Bai Shishi asked.
"First, book plane tickets. Whether Chen Moxiang has caught Wang Quan or not, I trust my judgment is correct! This way, we can fly to Waihai City first thing in the morning. Regardless of whether Wang Quan has been caught, being at the dock early can’t be wrong!" Lin Tian analyzed calmly.
"Okay!" Bai Shishi immediately took out her phone and booked two tickets online for the next morning to Waihai City.
Then the two of them tried to get some sleep, otherwise, they really couldn’t bear to stay up all night.
Meanwhile, at his home, Wang Quan was unable to sleep all night, feeling constant unease.
Afraid and anxious, he decided to leave the Celestial Dragon Continent temporarily; otherwise, all the money he made would be for nothing.
He emptied out the contents of the safe, stuffed them into a backpack, and left Nanshan Villa in a taxi under the cover of night.
On the way, Wang Quan pulled out his phone and called Wang Ba.
"Wang Ba, where are you?" The moment the call connected, Wang Quan asked quickly, not waiting for Wang Ba to speak.
"I was sleeping with He Wu!" Wang Ba mumbled, still half-asleep.
"Wake up! I have something very important to tell you right now!" Wang Quan shouted hysterically.
"What happened?" Wang Ba jolted awake and sat up, listening intently to Wang Quan.
"Something happened, and I need to go abroad. I might not be back for a long time. I’m giving you a phone number - it’s for my driver. Make sure to contact him, and help avenge me!" With time being tight, Wang Quan couldn’t say more and gave Wang Ba his driver’s number.
After writing down the number, Wang Ba didn’t forget to ask, "Uncle, what exactly happened?"
"You don’t need to know, and it won’t do you any good to find out!" Wang Quan paused and continued, "I have to go, hanging up now!"
"Uncle, you can rest assured going abroad. I’ll handle things in Kanyue City!"
"I’m hanging up now!" Taking a deep breath, Wang Quan hung up, the unrest in his heart making him trust no one.
At the Nanshan Villa, Wang Quan’s home was breached by Chen Moxiang leading a group from the Security Management Institute, only to find it empty.
They found the safe, but it was empty with its door open.
"Wang Quan must have sensed something and escaped with everything!" Chen Moxiang snorted coldly.
He ordered his subordinates, "Issue a wanted notice for Wang Quan, and make sure all airports, train stations, and bus stations are on high alert to prevent Wang Quan from leaving Kanyue City!"
"Yes!"
Then, Wang Quan’s house was turned inside out as a thorough search began.
This night was destined to be restless.
Early the next morning, Lin Tian and Bai Shishi woke up at eight sharp. Though they only had three hours of sleep, neither felt tired.
Just after Lin Tian finished freshening up, he saw someone new in the living room.
It was the weary-faced Chen Moxiang!
Seeing Lin Tian, Chen Moxiang’s first words were, "Wang Quan ran away!"
"I figured as much!" Lin Tian wasn’t surprised by the outcome, since he’d already considered it last night.
"I came here to tell you, if Wang Quan heads to the company, make sure to stall him!" Chen Moxiang handed over a piece of paper, "Here’s my phone number, call me when it happens!"
"Okay!" Lin Tian did not disclose their subsequent plan to Chen Moxiang.
Otherwise, the Beautiful Woman company would not survive.
"I’m off!" After saying that, Chen Moxiang left again.
"Lin Tian, you really can foresee things, huh?" Bai Shishi blinked her beautiful eyes at him, amazed that Lin Tian predicted last night’s events.
"Miss Bai, hurry and eat, once we finish we’re heading to Waihai City!" Lin Tian said as he sat at the dining table and started eating voraciously.
He was in such a hurry, claiming it was for Beautiful Woman, but in reality, it was more about minimizing the nation’s losses.
At Kanyue City International Airport, the two hurriedly passed through security and boarded their flight.
Due to booking too late last night, Lin Tian and Bai Shishi’s seats weren’t next to each other.
As a premium member of the airline, Bai Shishi was assigned a seat in the front VIP section, while Lin Tian was seated in the back row.
His seat was near the window, with an empty seat beside him, then the aisle.
Looking out through the small airplane window at the massive airport, Lin Tian felt a twinge of excitement, as it was his first time flying.
