At this moment, Yin Xun was holding her phone and using the navigation system to find her way. However, after taking multiple lefts and rights, she looked at the increasingly barren scenery outside the car and felt very helpless.
She knew that the map was inaccurate, but she did not expect it to be this bad. It somehow brought her to a deserted suburb.
She was going to meet a digital mapping company that Fang Yao had introduced to her.
Because of her relationship with Fang Yao, she did not even need to make an appointment. The leader of the company took the initiative to contact her to discuss the cooperation and said that Yin Xun could meet them right away. Since the opportunity had come, how could Yin Xun pass it up? As such, she immediately set off.
She did not know where the company building was, but there was an online map. At first, she thought that since it came directly from the source, the map definitely would not be wrong, so she trusted the map fully. She drove according to the given directions and was taken out of the city.
Initially, she thought that the company was in the suburbs, but when she saw that there was not a single building around her, she realized how bad the situation was.
The navigation told Yin Xun to turn right. Yin Xun looked at the long gully to her right and sighed helplessly. Next to the gully was a large wheat field. Presumably, it was used to release water.
She turned left and saw a dense forest. She could only see the small area closest to her. When she tried to look further in, the dense trees blocked her view.
On top of that, the road she was walking on was a dirt road. Every time the car moved, dust clouds would fill the air.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Yin Xun touched her forehead in despair. She counted her blessings that she was in the world of a romance novel. If this was a criminal investigation novel, her life would be in danger now. It was only too easy for her to meet a murderer.
She glanced at the rearview mirror. Tan Ai was sitting in the back with her eyes closed. Fortunately, she had brought bodyguards with her. Otherwise, this situation would be really terrifying.
However, Yin Xun still wanted to complain. Although there was nothing wrong with Tan Ai’s professionalism as a bodyguard, her attitude made her look cold and unreasonable.
Whenever Yin Xun spoke to her, she would not answer any unnecessary questions, as though speaking was against the rules.
Yin Xun wanted to complain to Tan Ai, but seeing that she kept her eyes shut, she decided not to disturb her and continued to look at the road.
The navigation accuracy was ridiculously poor. She might as well read the map herself.
Yin Xun enlarged the map and found the location of the digital company. She looked at which route was more suitable. After confirming it, she turned the car around and started driving back.
Fortunately, she had filled the gas tank before she came out. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if she ran out of gas after driving for so long.
She had not set off for long when her phone suddenly rang. It was Mary. Yin Xun pulled over and pressed the answer button.
“How did it go?” Yin Xun asked.
“The negotiation went well. Si Xia agreed to work with me, but she said she needed some time to save my brother.” Mary told Yin Xun everything she had talked to Si Xia about.
This outcome was within Yin Xun’s expectations. However, when she thought about how Yin Mo was currently in prison, she said, “I would assume that when Si Xia returns and sees that Yin Mo isn’t there and isn’t with Si Fan, she will definitely break the deal and refuse to work with you.”
Si Xia’s goal was to chase Yin Mo away and monopolize Si Fan. Since Yin Mo was not with him, there was no need for her to continue working with Mary.
“All, then what should we do? My brother…” Mary panicked.
Yin Xun comforted her. “You don’t have to be anxious. Let’s take it one step at a time. Si Fan doesn’t know that Yin Mo is in prison. We still have a chance.”
She knew how anxious Mary was. This was her only chance to save her brother.
Moreover, Si Xia already knew that Mary had a grudge against Si Fan, so she would definitely tell Si Fan eventually. If Si Fan found out, then everything would be over.
“Then what should I do?” Mary placed all her hopes on Yin Xun. She could only trust Yin Xun and do whatever Yin Xun asked her to do.
Yin Xun said, “You don’t have to worry about anything right now. If Si Xia calls to tell you that the deal is off, you don’t have to be anxious either. The calmer you are, the better. It’s best if you act like you don’t care at all and don’t let Si Xia notice your panic. Leave the rest to me. When the time is right, I’ll tell you what to do.”
Mary acknowledged the instructions and hung up.
Putting the phone back on the stand, Yin Xun was not in a hurry to drive again. Instead, she sat there and looked at the wheat field outside, thinking.
There were two big problems now. One was to ensure Mark’s safety, and the other was to protect Dai Ning from people planning to harm her..
