Chapter 56 Fresh clothes and angry horses
Chapter 56 Fresh clothes and angry horses
There was no decent large hospital in Gubei Town. There was only one clinic with decent medical conditions. After Bai Zhi's father received a simple examination in the clinic, he was transferred to a large city-level hospital for care overnight.
Taoyuan West Branch of Qinzhou Medical College is 23 kilometers away from Gubei Town, which is not far, but the road is winding and requires passing through 3 tunnels and frequent up and down viaducts.
The rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation are one of the reasons why this area of Taoyuan City has always been relatively backward.
Ning Zhe wanted to try to contact Bai Fugui's subordinates or confidants in his own group and ask them to pick up Bai Zhi and send her to her parents, but he found that they were basically all dead. Yes, Auntie seemed to have mentioned before that the group executives who came here with their family all lived together in the manor...
Sad reminder.
Ning Zhe looked at Bai Zhi, who was so timid that she didn't even dare to speak loudly, and felt that it might be dangerous to let her ride in the car alone.
"Did your mother say anything to you before she left?" Ning Zhe asked.
"Mom asked me to stay with you and notify her when you wake up." Bai Zhi said truthfully.
"anything else?"
"And..." Bai Zhi thought for a moment, organized her words and said, "She also told me to be careful and not to believe anything anyone said... except you."
"Well, it seems that Auntie is in danger." Ning Zhe roughly understood Feng Yusu's intention to keep her by his side: "Wait for me here for a while, I'm going to do something, you stay here, don't move."
"You're taking advantage of me." Bai Zhi muttered softly.
"what?"
"You are talking about the lines of Zhu Ziqing's father..." Bai Zhi's voice became even lower.
"Ha." Ning Zhe couldn't help laughing: "Don't just stay at home reading books and playing games, why not surf the Internet? Life always needs a sense of humor."
Otherwise it would be too boring.
"Oh..." Bai Zhi nodded reluctantly.
Leaving Bai Zhi in a milk tea shop on the street, Ning Zhe left alone. After the casual chat just now, he was completely sure that this was the first time he met Bai Zhi.
Or to put it another way, it was the first time he saw 'this' Baizhi.
The Bai Zhi that Feng Yushu left at home to look after him was not the same person as the Bai Zhi that he had seen in the Bishuiwan Manor last night. Although they looked exactly the same, her movements, tone of voice, attitude towards others, and her quiet and elegant temperament like a crabapple flower all revealed a sense of disharmony with the image of Bai Zhi in Ning Zhe's memory.
They are basically two different people.
"Schizophrenia?...Based on her mental condition, this is indeed a possibility. But could it be something else? Even twin sisters?" Ning Zhe thought as he walked.
He walked all the way to the hotel where Zhang Yangxu was staying, turned a corner with brisk steps, and a middle-aged male face with firm lines appeared in Ning Zhe's face.
In the identity of Zhang Yangxu, Ning Zhe walked into the hotel and found the assistant who had been looking for him.
To Ning Zhe's surprise, the assistant did not overreact to Zhang Yangxu's disappearance for the whole night, which saved him the trouble of making up another lie.
As a series of knowledge about Zhang Yangxu came into his mind, Ning Zhe understood the reason: Zhang Yangxu was a typical striver. Even though he held a high position, he always restrained himself with a strict schedule. Such a self-disciplined boss Zhang had no other hobbies. His only hobby was lust and fun, and he played quite extravagantly.
Long before he decided on the itinerary for Gubei Town, he had already contacted channels for entertainment.
Therefore, when Zhang Yangxu, who had been out of contact for a night and a day, showed up at the hotel door exhausted, his trusted assistant immediately understood without any explanation. Perhaps the only regret was that he didn't bring himself with him.
"Due to the power leakage accident last night and the absence of New Home Group CEO Bai Fugui due to injury, the bidding conference originally scheduled for today and tomorrow has been postponed. The specific time is still to be determined." The assistant reported in detail: "We have received news that several real estate companies, including New Home, are willing to withdraw from participating in the development of Gubei Town. I think we should also consider it early."
Ning Zhe chuckled: "Bai Fugui is from Yongzhou, so of course he can retreat whenever he wants. But I can't. I'm from Qinzhou, my roots are here, and if I pull them out I'll die."
Just like a congressman in a voting system can always get votes from his hometown folks, Zhang Yangxu can get to where he is today, which is inseparable from the support of Qinzhou where he was born. Bai Fugui can just leave, because his roots are not here, but Zhang Yangxu can't. It's okay to make a wavering gesture and strive for more benefits for yourself from Gubei Town, which is about to undergo a cleanup.
But if you really want to leave, you will die.
"You said exactly what I was thinking." The assistant nodded slightly.
After finishing his work, Ning Zhe sent his assistant away, drove the car out of the garage, and drove all the way back to the milk tea shop where he had made an appointment with Bai Zhi and stopped.
Bai Zhi looked curiously at the luxury business car outside the window. Just as she was a little confused, her phone buzzed with a message from Ning Zhe:
【Look out the car window.】
When I tilted my head, I saw Ning Zhe's face in the rolled down car window.
Ning Zhe only showed his face for a moment before closing the car window again. Bai Zhi got into the car in a daze, sat in the passenger seat, closed the door, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Ning Zhe, do you have a driver's license?"
"No." Ning Zhe said openly: "Although I am only 18 years old this year, I am actually an experienced driver with 21 years of driving experience."
Bai Zhi chuckled: "Well, I am one year older than you, and I have 22 years of driving experience."
"I advise you to give up on this idea." Ning Zhe stepped on the accelerator with a dark face: "I won't call you sister."
Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide in surprise: "How do you know what I'm thinking? Can you read my mind?"
"Heh, woman." Ning Zhe drove the car onto the street with disdain.
Ning Zhe didn't know much about cars before. He couldn't even recognize the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz logo. It was not until he had a relatively complete identity of Zhang Yangxu that he learned that this pure black-painted "Fairy of the Lake" was limited to 150 units worldwide, with an official retail price of $1500 million and a second-hand price that was more than three times that.
Zhang Yangxu came here in this car, more or less with the intention of suppressing Bai Fugui who came from afar, because Qinzhou was his territory after all.
Perhaps every man has a dream of owning a luxury car, such as driving a glamorous Fairy of the Lake along a country road, listening to the beautiful scenery and sweet breeze, just like the dandy young men in ancient times who were dressed in fine clothes and riding horses trampling on fallen flowers. It would be even better if there could be one or more young and beautiful girls sitting in the car.
But Ning Zhe's mood now is very calm and there is no fluctuation.
Because he knew that the luxury car was not his, the beautiful girl was not his, and the road conditions in the countryside were much worse.
The low-slung vehicle drove on the dirt road without making any sound.
Compared to being a driver for Feng Yusu's daughter, Ning Zhe would rather park the rumbling Ghost Fire motorcycle in the staff building, take the ultrasound film in front of the old cadre's grim face and say, "Old Deng, don't be ungrateful. We are true love."
The Fairy in the Lake drove downstream along the road on the bank of Taojiang River and got on the highway.
Ning Zhe's thoughts were wandering when suddenly he felt something was wrong. Bai Zhi seemed to have not made any sound for a long time.
The atmosphere in the car became somewhat depressing and weird. Ning Zhe turned the corner silently, and when he drove onto the straight road, he turned his head and found that the beautiful girl who did not belong to him was staring at him straight with her beautiful big eyes without blinking.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ning Zhe asked casually.
"They encountered a ghost." Bai Zhi said in a low voice.
"who are they?"
"Everyone who didn't die in the manor." Bai Zhi said, "Including us."
