672 Chapter 672 contact

In the dark and cramped room, green smoke lingered. The doors and windows had been nailed shut, and the early morning sun shone through the gap between the wooden bars of the window.

The house had been in disrepair for a long time, and there was a special smell of corroded and moldy wood. The floor was littered with cigarette butts. Jiang Zhiyuan’s face was hidden in the darkness, and only when he inhaled the smoke into his lungs could he see the expression on his face through the little red light that was lit up.

It was a call from Jiang se. He could recite the number backwards and would never forget it.

Before he was ready to do this, he could not control himself. He had called Jiang se once. He did not want to disturb her life or try to ask for anything from her.

He had been alone for too long and really wanted to hear his daughter’s voice.

It wasn’t through the television, not through the internet, not listening to her talk to others, not through the reporters ‘interview cameras, but simply letting her say a few words to him, even if she only asked, ” “May I know who you are?” It was more than enough for Jiang Zhiyuan.

That was the only time he had acted impulsively and revealed his number and whereabouts. At that time, he thought that since he had not said anything and Jiang se had hung up the phone warily, she must have guessed that someone had called the wrong number. He did not expect her to remember it, save the number, and call him at such a critical moment.

Jiang Zhiyuan blew out the cigarette in his mouth and ignored the ringing phone. He turned to look at the corner.

There was a man tied up, and his simple luggage was piled next to him, which was filled with all the luggage he had in his life: Two sets of old clothes, some cheap fast food, a few packs of cigarettes, and nothing else.

He was born naked, and after he died, he could not take a single thing with him.

From the moment he had decided to take action against Feng Nan and help his daughter get rid of this scourge, he had never thought of living.

Feng Nan was hiding in a corner. He was already in a daze and his spirit had collapsed.

When she was first kidnapped, she had even threatened him that she would deal with Jiang se. After he taught her a lesson, she became much more obedient. She spouted a bunch of nonsense, saying that Jiang se was not Jiang se and that she was not his daughter but Feng Nan, who he had kidnapped many years ago. She spoke with conviction.

Ever since he heard Feng Nan’s words, Jiang Zhiyuan had been sitting there without moving an inch.

The cigarettes that he had been saving for a week had been torn down by him.

He had been thinking about Feng Nan’s words and whether Jiang se was his daughter. He had not moved since yesterday until Jiang se called him.

He had always been on his guard. He had gotten this phone number on his own when he was in jail in Hong Kong. No one else knew about it. He had only opened it after he had resigned. The only person he had ever contacted with this phone number was Jiang se.

She had only made that one call, and she had already remembered it.

She was a celebrity with friends, colleagues, relatives, and husbands around her. With so many people contacting her, she could still remember this number and save it. If this wasn’t the sensitivity of the father-daughter relationship, what was it?

He should not have picked up the call. However, he could reject warmth, the sunlight, and the entire world, but he could not reject his daughter, Jiang se.

Jiang Zhiyuan reached out his hand and pressed the answer button on his phone, which had been ringing a few times. The speaker was turned on and he smoked even more urgently. In the dark space, there were silent molecules in the air that were active.

The person on the other end of the phone didn’t say anything. He was also silent. The atmosphere was almost frozen.

He recalled the time he spent with his daughter back then. At that time, she was still an infant and didn’t even know how to speak, but she could smile at him as sweet as honey. Even if she greeted him with words he didn’t understand, it would still make his heart soften.

At that time, the father and daughter could still ‘communicate’. Who would have thought that today, even over the phone, they could not even talk to each other like strangers.

Those memories were very precious to Jiang Zhiyuan. He pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to smile like he did in the past.

However, he didn’t know if it was because time had passed too quickly and he had changed too much. It wasn’t as easy as it was in the past for him to smile now.

He had heard from Feng Nan about all the glory she had gained in the past year. He also knew that she was married into the PEI family, which was rather prominent.

She told him that Jiang se was actually Feng Nan, and her newly-wedded husband was Feng Nan’s childhood sweetheart. She said a lot and begged him to let her go.

However, he refused to listen. Was she his daughter, Jiang se, or the girl he had kidnapped, Feng Nan? Feng Nan did not have the final say now. It was up to Jiang se to decide!

He didn’t say anything. He seemed to be waiting for something. The girl on the other end of the phone finally spoke first, and she sounded a little nervous.

“I’m Jiang se.”

She said she was Jiang se.

She said she was Jiang se!

The corners of Jiang Zhiyuan’s stiff lips lifted. He raised his hand to pinch the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep puff. Finally, he exhaled a mouthful of smoke and put out the cigarette on the muddy ground beside his feet.

She was still his little princess, his flesh and blood, the inheritance of his bloodline, the piece of flesh in his heart.

She was Jiang Zhiyuan’s daughter, but she did not say that she was Feng Nan. Jiang Zhiyuan’s hands started to shake, and the smile on his face grew deeper. His gaze became gentler.

“I know it’s you.”

She sounded a little flustered at first, but he could still tell that she was trying her best to stay calm and composed. The fear that she was trying to hide was betrayed by her trembling voice. Jiang Zhiyuan reached out his hand in an attempt to comfort his daughter.

He wanted to tell her, what was there to be afraid of? Even if he had hurt her, he would never hurt her.

Even if one day he lost all rationality and didn’t remember her, he would still remember his own flesh and blood.

“You took Feng Nan away, didn’t you?”

She was so smart.

Jiang Zhiyuan nodded with a smile. He remembered that his daughter had just been born and had to be held in someone’s arms the entire night before she could fall asleep. She would cry the moment she was placed on the bed.

At that time, Zhou Hui felt that this little girl was annoying and he was unwilling to scold her.

If Zhou Hui refused to hug him, he would not let go. He would coax her and shake her from side to side. He would watch her fall asleep with her little fists clenched. Even if Zhou Hui sometimes said that he doted on her too much, he would tell her that their daughter was very smart and would definitely have a bright future.

“Where are you?”

are you still in Hong Kong? ” she asked again.

He didn’t say anything. He got up from the chair and stuck his ear to the phone screen almost greedily, listening to her speak and remembering her voice in his heart.

Unfortunately, she remained silent for a long time, probably because Jiang Zhiyuan did not answer her.

When she stopped talking, he was a little anxious and opened his mouth.

On the other end of the line, Jiang se was feeling rather uneasy. She had said so much earlier, but she had not received any response. Fortunately, the call had not ended. This made her more certain that the person on the other end of the line was Jiang Zhiyuan.

Her heart was in a mess. If this was Jiang Zhiyuan, if he had kidnapped Feng Nan, and if it was just as her grandfather had said-if he had found out from Feng Nan that she was not Jiang se-what was he thinking about with his current silence?

I’m still abroad. I’ll book a plane ticket back to Hong Kong as soon as possible. If you’re still in Hong Kong, I’d like to see you.

Jiang se took a deep breath. While her rationality was still able to overcome her fear, she blurted out everything she wanted to say.

before that, if Feng Nan is really with you, please don’t hurt her for the time being, okay? ”

She pleaded softly. In fact, she was not confident that ‘he’ would agree to it.

If he knew that she was not Jiang se, what would he ask of her? Her thoughts ran wild. She was still guessing that if the person on the other end of the phone was really Jiang Zhiyuan, he would probably sneer coldly, just like how she remembered Jiang Zhiyuan to be. He would look indifferent and his eyes would be cold.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists to cheer herself on. Just as she was about to say something, the person on the other end of the phone, who had been silent for a long time, finally responded, ”

“Alright,” he said.

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had not communicated with anyone for a long time. When he spoke, there was a sense of unfamiliarity and awkwardness.

It was Jiang Zhiyuan.

His voice had already taken root in Jiang SE’s heart. It was etched in her memory.

However, his voice was a little different from what she remembered. It was no longer indifferent and emotionless. Instead, it was as if he regarded human lives as nothing. It had a chilling feeling to it, as if there were no fluctuations in his emotions. Although he did not speak much, his tone was gentle and full of obedience, as if he would not refuse any of her requests.

She was a little scared, thinking that she might have heard wrong. How could this person be so gentle? Grandpa had said that he was more dangerous than a Tiger.

After confirming that the person on the phone was Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang se felt assured. He had promised to meet her and would not hurt Feng Nan for the time being. Although he had agreed to it easily, for some reason, Jiang se had a vague feeling that he would not go back on his word.

I’ll hang up now. I’ll contact you again after I return to Hong Kong.

She held the phone and waited for a while, but Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t say anything else. She tried to speak again, but after a long pause, he replied, ”

“Alright,” he said.

This time, his speech was much smoother than before.

Jiang se held her breath and ended the call. Her heart only started to beat wildly after the call ended.

It was as if a rabbit was living in her chest, jumping until she was dizzy.

She panted for a long time before she recovered.

After hesitating for a while, she called Feng Zhongliang and told him Jiang Zhiyuan’s phone number. She asked him to follow the number and find out where Jiang Zhiyuan was.

She did not dare to tell PEI Yi about it. No matter how well he hid it, she could sense what he would do once he found out about Jiang Zhiyuan’s whereabouts.

However, it was different for Feng Zhongliang. If he found out about Jiang Zhiyuan’s whereabouts, even if it was for his own sake, his grandfather would cover up the matter and let people keep it a secret.

For his own sake, he would not execute Jiang Zhiyuan, nor would he make a big deal out of it. If Jiang Zhiyuan had not done anything to Feng Nan, his grandfather would find a way to deal with the aftermath. Feng Nan would be alive, Feng Zhongliang would not be sad, and Jiang Zhiyuan would be fine. This was the best outcome.

“You’ve contacted him?”

When Feng Zhongliang heard Jiang SE’s words over the phone, he was furious.

“When did you contact him?”

He asked repeatedly,”didn’t grandfather tell you to pay more attention?” How did you get his number? How did you contact him? Do you know how dangerous he is? We don’t even know what Feng Nan would say in his hands, so why won’t you listen to me?”

Jiang se did not dare to tell him that she had decided to meet Jiang Zhiyuan. She was afraid that his blood pressure would rise.

He cursed at her for a long time. In the end, when his saliva was dry, he warned Jiang se with a dark expression to stay out of this matter and not to contact a dangerous person like Jiang Zhiyuan in private.

In order to ease his worries, Jiang se agreed to each and every one of them. The two of them conversed for a while. Feng Zhongliang looked at the time before he hurriedly prepared to hang up.

With Jiang Zhiyuan’s phone number, it would not be difficult to find him. It was only a matter of time. He was afraid that the longer he delayed, the more unexpected things would happen.

If something were to happen to Feng Nan, this matter would not be easy to cover up. A small matter would become a big one, and he was in a hurry to make arrangements.

That night, many people could not fall asleep. It was a rare case of Jiang se having insomnia.

She clicked on Xia Chaoqun’s profile picture in her contacts. It was already late at night, but Xia Chaoqun was still awake and working overtime.

Jiang se made a request to return to Hong Kong at the last minute. This request was rather abrupt. Some of the initially planned events might have to be postponed or postponed. Xia Chaoqun was the one who had contacted her for the preliminary work. This time, she felt guilty that she had to change her schedule for personal reasons.

“Why?”

Xia Chaoqun’s reply came very quickly. Her message was as calm as the impression she gave others. It was as if she was not angry at Jiang SE’s sudden change in schedule. She was just asking for a reason.

“I have to go back to Hong Kong.”

When Jiang se sent this message, Xia Chaoqun replied, ” “When do you want to prepare?”

She did not pursue the matter any further after getting her answer. This was one of Jiang SE’s favorite things about her. She always knew when to stop. She knew when to stop and would not dig further.

“The earlier the better.”

After Jiang se said this, she paused for a moment and took the initiative to share her thoughts with Xia Chaoqun. At this moment, Xia Chaoqun was not just a business partner who could work hand in hand with her. He was a friend that she could rely on and an older sister who she could share her thoughts with.

my father kidnapped Feng Nan.

When she typed the word ‘father’, she felt a little awkward and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she didn’t know how to explain to Xia Chaoqun about her messy relationship with Jiang Zhiyuan. She still sent the message:

I suspect he’s in Hong Kong. I contacted him and asked him to wait for me there.

“Do you need my help?”

Xia Chaoqun’s reply was beyond Jiang SE’s expectations. She had thought that Xia Chaoqun would draw a clear line between personal and business matters and would not mix his personal feelings into his work relationship. The fact that she was willing to say these things at this moment proved that in Xia Chaoqun’s heart, she might not just be a business partner or an artiste he was managing.

“No need,” Jiang se rejected her help. About half an hour later, Jiang se received a booking for a flight to Hong Kong. Xia Chaoqun called her.

the plane will take off at 5:30 pm. I’ve already informed Anqi and booked a car. She’ll send you to the airport. After you change, she’ll be here to pick you up. She paused for a moment, her voice still calm. be careful. Remember, your contract with century Galaxy will take many years to complete!

Her awkward concern was hidden under her cold tone. Jiang se could not help but purse her lips.

“I know,” She replied, ” sister Chaoqun, have I ever told you that I really like you? ”

“Yes.” She said plainly, ” I’m hanging up. I still have work to do.

She had always been a quick-witted person. Jiang se smiled. After she changed her clothes, mo Anqi quickly arrived. Mo Anqi still did not know the reason why Jiang se suddenly wanted to return to Hong Kong. However, she could tell that Jiang se was not in a good mood, so she tactfully did not ask any further.

Xia Chaoqun had booked a direct flight. It was obvious that she had gone through some trouble to get a ticket at this time. When Jiang se returned to Hong Kong and left the airport, it was already close to four in the morning.
