Ye Lanchen flew downstairs without wasting any time. His exclusive parking space was nearest to the stairs hence he got in the car within seconds.
He caught up with Secretary Liu not long after thanks to the live location provided by the latter and quickly called him on the phone.
“President, Madam is traveling by taxi which has a car plate ending with 549. I witnessed Madam entering the car with my own eyes.” Secretary Liu relayed the message urgently as soon as he picked up the call.
Ye Lanchen locked his gaze on the car mentioned by Secretary Liu and instantly noticed a person sitting in the backseat. There was a great distance between them hence he could not obtain a clear view of the taxi’s interior. Nonetheless, Ye Lanchen managed to make out from the vague view that the person’s hairstyle was similar to Chu Wuyou’s.
“Have you definitely witnessed her getting into the car? Are you certain that she hasn’t got out of the car all this while?” Ye Lanchen remained skeptical. She had fooled him once, and it would be a piece of cake for her to fool Secretary Liu.
“Rest assured, President. I’ve seen Madam getting into the car with my own eyes and I’ve been tailing the taxi since. It hasn’t stopped once, which means there’s no way Madam could’ve left the car,” Secretary Liu explained confidently.
Once again, Ye Lanchen shifted his attention toward the car in the front. The distance still obstructed him from seeing clearly.
“President, should I continue following the car now that you’re here? Or?” Realizing the President’s been trailing behind and his unwillingness to overtake, Secretary Liu felt rather awkward being sandwiched between the car in front and the President.
“Stay where you are.” Ye Lanchen did not overtake Secretary Liu because he was worried she would identify his car.
“Okay.” Secretary Liu promised and continued on maintaining a distance between himself and the taxi in front.
Ye Lanchen glanced at the aforementioned taxi one more time and realized it was not going fast due to the speed limit.
The person in the backseat remained seated quietly. Ye Lanchen could not detect anything suspicious from where he was positioned currently.
He was on the path this time to figure out where she was heading. Therefore, he could not and dared not go too near for fear of being exposed. He had learned that this woman was highly observant.
The traffic on this particular road was not too busy nor was it sparse. His tailgating behind Secretary Liu’s car should not raise suspicion.
Ye Lanchen was driving slowly too as he dared not speed up. After all, his motive for this mission was only to find out her destination.
However, he did not anticipate that the taxi in front would keep heading straight on this route for almost an hour. From the looks of it, they seemed to be approaching the outskirts of Jin City.
Ye Lanchen narrowed his gaze. He clutched his fingers around the steering wheel and accelerated all of a sudden. Right now, he was determined to confirm if it was indeed Chu Wuyou sitting in the taxi.
He was hoping to catch a glimpse of the person’s face when he sped up and ceded the right of way. The windows of his car were tinted so the passenger in the taxi would not be able to see through from the outside.
Moreover, Chu Wuyou had not seen Ye Lanchen driving this car that he was currently behind the wheels of. It would not raise any red flags as he would just be another driver that was trying to overtake.
Once he had confirmed her identity, he would not worry about losing the trail because Secretary Liu would also be following the taxi from behind. Ye Lanchen just had to come up with a way to retreat by then.
However, right at that moment, the taxi in front suddenly made a sharp turn at the intersection. Ye Lanchen was taken aback and had no choice but to slow down immediately and continued to trail behind slowly. A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes.
After making the turn, the taxi in front finally pulled to a halt at the main gate of a housing area. The door to the backseat was opened and the passenger stepped out of the car.
