Zhao Zhicheng was silent for a moment, then got up and walked aside to report to his superiors.
This time,In less than five minutes, he got a reply from his superiors, saying that if the matter could be resolved, Cen Baihe’s company would be given priority to obtain the land.
Qi Yan didn’t expect Zhao Zhicheng to agree to him so soon. He took Zhao Zhicheng’s phone and said, “Captain Zhao, is Master Qian really missing?”
Zhao Zhicheng asked, “What do you mean?”
“Nothing,” Qi Yan smiled and called Cen Qiusheng, the head of the Cen family.
The person who answered the phone was not Cen Qiusheng, but his assistant. The assistant’s tone was a little cold, but after Qi Yan revealed his identity, he became ten times more enthusiastic, and then handed the phone to Old Master Cen.
“Hello Old Master Cen, I’m Qi Yan,” Qi Yan did not beat around the bush, “This time I’m asking you for a favor on behalf of the Special Task Force.”
Cen Qiusheng was experienced enough to know what’s going on. After Qi Yan said that, he guessed that Qi Yan was not alone, so he changed his tone, “Please tell me Master Qi.”
Qi Yan told him about the matter that required Cen Baihe’s help, and the conditions they offered.
“Master Qi,” Cen Qiusheng said after listening to Qi Yan, “You should know that the Cen family would never sacrifice our own family members.”
“Mr. Cen, you may have misunderstood what I meant,” Qi Yan looked at the masters behind him, “Even if it fails, it will not cause any damage to Baihe’s body.”
If he wasn’t sure that Baihe would not be in any danger, he would never have asked. Since he was the one who came up with the idea, he knew exactly what were the consequences of failure. If it was successful, Baihe would get a lot of merits, but if it failed, Baihe would not suffer any loss because he was not directly involved. He was like a “donor”, so even if it was a sacrifice to heaven, it would not cause the donor any har,.
Cen Qiusheng was silent for a few seconds. “If someone else said this, I would never believe it. But since Master Qi is the one who said it, I won’t reject it. You can contact Baihe directly.”
Cen Qiusheng knew very well in his heart that if Master Qi called Baihe first, Baihe would have already agreed. He didn’t talk to Baihe before contacting him first, which proved his respect for the Cen family, and him as a father.
“Sir, you…” The assistant wanted to say something, but Cen Qiusheng raised his hand to stop it. He handed the phone to his assistant, “I trust my guts. Since Master Qi said that this matter will never hurt Baihe, then I trust him.”
“Sir, this is not what I want to say,” The assistant handed another phone to him. “There is news that the fifth master has booked a flight to Xugou City at 7 o’clock this evening.”
Cen Qiusheng widened his eyes in astonishment, “Xugou City? Isn’t it located in the outskirts of Wangxiang Town?”
“Yes.” The assistant felt a little strange, why did the fifth master suddenly decide to go to there. “Could it be that Master Qi has already called him?”
“Impossible,” Cen Qiusheng said firmly, “Master Qi wouldn’t do such a thing.” Although he didn’t spend much time with Qi Yan, based on his experience with Master Qi, he would never do things behind others’ backs.
But why did Baihe suddenly decide to go to Xugou City?
“Fifth Master, I just received a notice that due to the weather, the flight will be delayed for half an hour,” Big He glanced at his phone, “I’m afraid it will be after ten o’clock when we arrive at Xugou City, why don’t we change the flight to tomorrow? “
“No.” Cen Baihe took a sip of tea, “I will feel better if I get there as soon as possible.”
“Fifth Master, Master Qi is so powerful, you don’t have to worry so much,” Big He really didn’t understand why he had such a big reaction, “Moreover, even if we go, we won’t be able to help him much.”
“Even if I can’t help, I will feel at ease just by seeing him.” Cen Baihe flipped a page of a magazine that he didn’t read at all, “You don’t need to persuade me, I know it.”
Seeing the fifth master like this, he shook his head in confusion. Even brothers in arms would not be as worried about each other as the fifth master was. These upper-class people had a different mentality than them.
Cen Baihe’s private phone rang. He glanced at the caller and it was an unfamiliar number, but his instinct told him that it was Qian Qian.
After he answered the call, Qi Yan’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Bah.” Qi Yan pretended to sound relaxed and there was a hint of embarrassment.
“Qian Qian, where are you?” Cen Baihe tried his best to suppress his emotions. “I called you in the morning, but your phone is turned off.”
“Sorry,” Qi Yan said apologetically, “Something happened here and I can’t contact the outside world.”
“You’re at Wangxiang Town?”
“Mm…”
“Okay, I understand,” Cen Baihe accidentally tore a page of the magazine in his hand, “Is it safe over there?”
“It’s alright now,” Qi Yan looked up and saw Zhao Zhicheng and Gao Ronghua’s expectant eyes. He turned sideways, avoiding their eyes, “I need your help.”
“Tell me.”
“I want you to come to Wangxiang Town and do me a favor.”
“Sure.”
Qi Yan was stunned, “Why didn’t you ask me what it was?”
“There’s no need,” Cen Baihe smiled, with a touch of tenderness in his tone, “I believe you won’t harm me.”
When Qi Yan heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Who said that? When you get to this unfamiliar place, I will sell you off.”
“Why don’t you feed me for a few years and sell me when I get fatter?” Cen Baihe laughed softly, “Is there anyone else beside you?”
Qi Yan glanced at the people around him who were staring at him, “Yes.”
“Give the phone to the person in charge of this mission, and I’ll talk to him.”
Qi Yan moved the phone away from his ear, covered the receiver and made an ‘OK’ sign to Zhao Zhicheng
Zhao Zhicheng looked at Qi Yan gratefully, and after taking over the phone, he spoke cautiously, “Mr. Cen, I am Zhao Zhicheng, the person in charge of this mission. You can just call me Xiao Zhao. “
“Sure.”
“So…” Zhao Zhicheng turned his head and glanced at Qi Yan, “I’m sorry, I can’t reveal much information before your arrival.”
“Yes, yes, we will arrange it immediately. Thank you so much.”
Zhao Zhicheng hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn’t expect that Fifth Master Cen was not as difficult to get along with as rumored. Fortunately, he agreed because of Master Qi, otherwise they alone wouldn’t be able to convince him.
Thinking of this, he thanked Qi Yan again.
“You don’t need to thank me. Baihe is also worried about the people here, that’s why he agreed to my request,” Qi Yan said with a smile. “Otherwise, no matter what I said, he won’t be willing to come.”
At this time, Cen Baihe, who was still at the airport at Capital City, quickly boarded the plane that took off in forty minutes after they arranged it for him.
Because Xugou City was not very prosperous and developed, there was only one small airport and three flights from the Capital City. Besides, the small plane was not very comfortable.
Cen Baihe had never been on such a small plane. His long legs were curled up in the narrow seat in a very uncomfortable position. The loud noise outside the plane, as well as the unpalatable food, gave him a novel but uncomfortable experience.
The small plane shook violently when it encountered some air resistance. A child kept crying in the cabin. The sound was excruciating.
Three hours later, Cen Baihe walked off the plane with a pale face, and the members of the Special Task Force who had been waiting at the airport for a long time immediately greeted him and took him to their car parked through a different passage.
Big He watched the two people who claimed to be from the National Security Bureau suspiciously, and the muscles in his body tightened. He had been a soldier, and he could see who had been trained to be soldiers. These two members of the National Security Bureau did not feel familiar to him.
When one of the members opened the door to let Cen Baihe get in the car, Big He couldn’t help but stop him
“Sorry, I need to look at your documents.”
The two members of the Special Task Force looked at each other. One sat in the driver’s seat, and the other reached out and took something out from his body.
What are these people trying to do, pull out their guns?!
Big He pushed Cen Baihe back, and when he was about to attact, a familiar head suddenly stuck out from the car.
“Baihe, Big He.” Qi Yan put his hands on the car window and looked at the two of them with a smile, “Get in the car quickly.”
“Master Qi?” Big He put down his guard, and exhaled, “You’re here?”
“You are not familiar with the place, it’s good to have someone you know pick you up,” Qi Yan pulled Cen Baihe into the car and motioned to Big He to sit on the other side. He said to Cen Baihe, “You don’t look very good, what’s wrong?”
“I’m fine,” Cen Baihe recalled his flying experience, and couldn’t help asking, “When you came to Capital City, did you also take such a plane?”
“No, I came by train,” Qi Yan guessed the meaning of Cen Baihe’s words, and whispered to him, “You came in economy class?”
“Yeah.” It was his first time flying in economy class, and the experience was not very good.
Qi Yan couldn’t help but snicker, “If you were on the ordinary express train, you would probably collapse.” After laughing, his expression turned solemn, “Baihe, sorry for the trouble.”
Perhaps to others, this was a trivial matter. However, Cen Baihe, who had been blessed by the heavens since he was a child, had never been in such an old and small plane. As a tall man with his legs curled up in a crowded economy class, this was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him.
“Didn’t you say…” Cen Baihe put his hand on Qi Yan’s shoulder, “…that between friends, we shouldn’t be so formal. Just…”
Qi Yan turned to look at him.
“Just don’t leave without telling me in the future.”
“I will be worried.”
