A week later, Chen Jingyan handed over all his projects and left Nan Shu's company.

At first, there was some curiosity in the company about Chen Jingyan's departure, and all sorts of rumors circulated in the company for several days.

The rumors only subsided after they reached Nan Shu's ears and she made a statement forbidding any further discussion of the matter within the company.

Nan Shu stayed in Jiangcheng for a month. During this time, in addition to dealing with some unresolved issues, she also spent a few days with her family.

After settling things at the company, Nan Shu prepared to return to H City.

We had just signed a contract with Zhang Baofeng and hadn't even had time to refine the details of the cooperation when this happened at the company.

Although Zhang Baofeng didn't say anything, Nan Shu knew that Zhang Baofeng was just working for someone else, and if she didn't go back soon, she might not be able to withstand the pressure from headquarters.

After leading her employees in two days of meetings, Nan Shu prepared to return to H City with a preliminary cooperation plan.

When Enen and Nuomi heard the news, they were sullen for several days. It wasn't until the day Nan Shu was about to leave that the two little ones clung to one of Nan Shu's legs, crying and begging to take her to the airport.

Although Nan Shu didn't want the two little ones to face separation, she couldn't persuade them otherwise, so she had to let Qi Yuye take the two little ones with her to the airport.

Inside the airport, Nan Shu looked at the two little ones with teary eyes and reached out to pat Nuomi and Enen's heads.

"You two need to be good at home, okay? Mommy will be back to see you soon. I'll pinky swear with you."

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Enen and Nuomi immediately reached out, hooked their little fingers around Nan Shu's fingers three times, and solemnly stamped their seal before smiling happily.

"Mom, we made a deal, okay? If you go back on your word, you're a puppy!"

"Yes, Mom, adults shouldn't lie to children, or they'll grow a very long nose!"

Hearing the two little ones' sweet, childlike voices, Nan Shu couldn't help but smile and nod.

"Don't worry, Mom won't lie to you!"

With boarding time fast approaching, Nan Shu reluctantly said goodbye to Enen Nuomi and Qi Yuye, and headed towards the security checkpoint without looking back.

Three and a half hours later, the plane landed smoothly in H city. It departed at 9 p.m. and landed in H city after midnight.

Nan Shu thought back to when she first came to this city, around the same time. Back then, Ji Yuchuan picked her up from the airport in a very flashy sports car.

But things have changed now. Ji Yuchuan is probably used to living in the detention center by now...

Thinking of this, Nan Shu shook her head helplessly.

She didn't want to provoke these people, but they kept provoking her. Ji Yuchuan's current predicament is entirely his own fault.

Nan Shu tried her best to shake off all those memories from her mind, and then scanned the cars outside.

A black minivan was parked quietly by the roadside, with a driver in a suit and white gloves standing next to it.

The driver paused for a moment when he made eye contact with Nan Shu, then immediately smiled and ran towards her with great eagerness.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Nan Shu?"

Upon hearing the driver's words, Nan Shu nodded.

"Mr. Qi Yuye called a car and asked me to come here to pick you up. Let me help you with your luggage."

Nan Shu remembered that Qi Yuye had indeed mentioned booking a car for her before she left, so she didn't think much of it and handed her luggage to the driver.

After getting in the car, the driver eagerly handed Nan Shu a bottle of water.

"You must be tired from your flight. Please fasten your seatbelt. We're about to depart."

Nan Shu took the water the driver handed her, unscrewed the cap, took a small sip, and moistened her lips.

Seeing Nan Shu drink the water from the bottle, the driver's smile widened. He immediately ran to the driver's seat and skillfully started the car.

As the car sped along, Nan Shu subconsciously leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside, feeling a surge of emotions as she thought about all the things that had happened during this time.

After walking for about twenty minutes, seeing that the scenery outside was becoming increasingly remote and didn't look like she was heading to the city, Nan Shu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Nan Shu sat up straight and looked up at the driver in front of her. The moment her gaze shifted, she realized that the driver was also looking at her through the rearview mirror.

Nan Shu's heart jumped, and she asked casually.

"This doesn't seem to be the road to the city. How much longer until we get there?"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, the driver smiled slightly and explained.

"There's a traffic jam on the highway right now. This side road is a bit out of the way, but it's the fastest way back to the city. We'll be at our destination in about twenty minutes."

Hearing the driver's words, Nan Shu's doubts deepened.

"Is there still traffic on the highway so late?"

"I heard there was a car accident over there, more than a dozen cars collided in a chain reaction, and it probably won't be open for a while."

The driver showed no sign of distress, so Nan Shu immediately took out her phone to search for the latest news and discovered that there had indeed been a multi-vehicle collision on the highway.

After finding the news, Nan Shu finally felt relieved. She leaned back in her chair, slowly closed her eyes, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Seeing Nan Shu leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed, the driver tentatively called out.

"Miss Nan?"

Nan Shu did not respond.

The driver raised his voice and called out a few more times, but Nan Shuren still didn't respond at all.

Seeing this, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He never expected the drug to take effect so slowly; luckily, he didn't give himself away just now.

The driver parked the car on the side of the road, took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it directly.

"I've caught the person. I'll take him to the place you mentioned now. Transfer the money to me first."

A cold, indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You have to let me see the person first, what if you're lying to me?"

"This is really troublesome. I'll take a few photos and send them to you right now. Let me tell you, I won't hand the person over to you unless you pay me."

After saying that, the driver walked to Nan Shu's seat, took a few photos, and sent them to her.

After a while, looking at the transfer on his phone, the driver smiled with satisfaction and patted Nan Shu's face.

"I never imagined you were worth so much! This deal is incredibly profitable!"

After saying this, the driver returned to the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.

Meanwhile, at the Qi family villa.

Qi Yuye tossed and turned in bed, looking at Nan Shu's flight information. He figured Nan Shu should have landed by now, but he waited and waited and waited and still didn't get a message from her.

Qi Yuye thought for a moment, then picked up his phone to call Nan Shu.
