Chapter 675
After a moment, Ji Nuan turned off the computer and said, “Mo Jingshen.”
“En?”
“I am still considering whether or not to meet the client I’m supposed to meet. In the beginning, I intended to have a talk with him, but when I think about it carefully, it seems too coincidental, and I feel that the timing and reason of the financial company’s olive branch to us is somewhat far-fetched.”
Ji Nuan said, somewhat gloomily, “But I’m already here, and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t meet him.”
Mo Jingshen took a look at her and smiled. “It’s never too late to be alert.”
Ji Nuan frowned and looked at him with a jerk. “Did that company really have something to do with Aqib’s brother? After all, I was there when you were kidnapped in Cambodia. If they have investigated, they will certainly find me. They’re trying to get me, aren’t they?”
“En.”
At first, Ji Nuan was thinking about how Mo Jingshen planned to solve this problem, but she felt that nothing would happen. At most, he could not return to Hai City until the problem was solved. However, when she slept just now, she dreamed of many things in Cambodia three years ago, so suddenly she felt afraid.
It was said that Aqib’s brother had been living in war-torn countries for years. He was probably even more ruthless than his brother, and nothing would stop him from getting what he wanted.
“Then I won’t see anyone from that company.” Ji Nuan paused for a moment and then said, “in case anything bad happens.”
“I have arranged another good company for you. Don’t worry about your project. The people and companies I find for you are definitely safe. Just ignore any other company that contacts you during this period.”
Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows. “Did you arrange another company for me?”
The man looked around, took the computer that she held in her bosom, and said indifferently, “I don’t want to see you make a trip in vain.”
Make… make a trip in vain?
It was because she insisted that she came to the United States for work and not for him, so even if the arranged work should be changed, he still let her work. He just didn’t want to embarrass her.
“…Then I’ll meet the client you arranged.”
With Mo Jingshen’s experience, the people he arranged would be much more reliable than the people she would have met. The success rate would be higher, and the cooperation would also be much easier.
“Ok, I’ll give you the contact information later.”
Ji Nuan agreed and nodded.
Mo Jingshen continued to read her emails on her computer, smiling as he thought of her trust and cooperation and how she listened to him obediently after she knew about the danger.
In the evening, they had dinner in the hotel. After Mo Jingshen talked things over with the people of XI Base, Ji Nuan followed him down the stairs and had dinner with him. People of the base still remembered her, especially K and his men who were very kind to Ji Nuan and called her Mrs. Mo or sister-in-law when they saw her.
It all started with the meals she had cooked for them and the socks she washed for them in Cambodia…
She wondered how Feng Ling and Nanheng were doing. When Nanheng went to the UK to take Feng Ling away, Ji Nuan was busy with her work. She called Feng Ling occasionally, but the latter, unlike Xia Tian who liked to share her feelings with her friends, would never talk about her love life or ask her friend for help. Feng Ling would only show her quiet, feminine side in front of Ji Nuan, but for the most of the time, just as K described, she was a very cold, cool woman who was very good at martial arts and unapproachable, but Nanheng seemed to be addicted to her and couldn’t forget her.
When having a meal in the evening, those people from XI Base all understood when they saw Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen sat together for a meal.
Oh… so Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo were still a couple. It seemed that the news about their divorce was fake…
With this in mind, they called her Mrs. Mo or sister-in-law more kindly.
In fact, she did not know how to explain. Being called, she didn’t bother to explain again.
They wouldn’t listen to her anyway.
——
The next day, before noon, the client Mo Jingshen arranged for her was already waiting at the agreed location. Ji Nuan contacted the business partner who came to Los Angeles with her together and was about to meet the client.
Mo Jingshen didn’t have time to go with her and had four men from XI Base who were good at martial arts follow and protect her. On the way, she was talking on the phone when she suddenly saw the man driving the car look into the rearview mirror and speed up with a cold look. She immediately looked back, only to see that several black cars were following them.
She put the phone down and asked, “Are those people Aqib’s brother’s men?”
The man driving the car didn’t expect Ji Nuan to know about it. He took a look at her in the rearview mirror. “Yes, that man is called Atuta. He is very difficult to deal with. Mrs. Mo, please sit tight. I think I’m going to race down the road.”
Ji Nuan fastened her seat belt. “En, go ahead.”
The driver suddenly pressed the accelerator harder and turned onto a road with less traffic, speeding up to more than 200 yards. This speed of the car could only be seen in movies, and the buildings and scenery flitted past the car windows so quickly that Ji Nuan couldn’t see them clearly at all, but she kept looking straight at the speed shown on the dashboard. There was not much tension in her eyes.
She knew that the people sent by Mo Jingshen would never have any problems.
After about ten minutes, the cars behind were also speeding up. Although they failed to get rid of those cars, there was a safe distance between their car and them. Even if the cars behind shot them, the bullets wouldn’t be able to reach this car.
As the car gradually slowed down, Ji Nuan looked back, only to find a few off-road vehicles rushed out from both sides on the intersection they just passed, and successfully intercepting the cars behind them. A lot of people got off the off-road cars. Ji Nuan recognized from their clothes that they were from XI Base.
After the car went on for some distance, the driver saw that Ji Nuan’s face remained unchanged. He looked at her in the rearview mirror and smiled.”Mrs. Mo, weren’t you scared?”
“With you here, why should I be scared?” Ji Nuan answered calmly. “I wouldn’t have been allowed out today if you hadn’t made a perfect interception plan and had no guarantee of my safety, would I?”
