In truth, the situation might even be far worse than they had imagined.

“Miss, are you saying that we’re going back to England right away?” he asked.

She nodded. “Yes! Let’s go back to England right away, and then think of how to save Alex! Hurry, contact the flight companies right away!”

Then, he nodded and quickly took out his phone to make a call. However, he did not say much. Moments after that, his expression sank and he silently kept his phone away.

“What’s wrong?” The worried Doris could naturally feel that something was not right, so she quickly asked, “Did something happen?”

Glenn’s face was slightly dark as he looked to Doris to say in a slightly solemn tone, “Miss, we might not be able to leave by flight. Hall says that all there are no more seats on the next flights to England, and upon careful checking, he realized that news about us has spread. If we turn up at the airport, I think we will…”

When he said that, Doris fell limp again and slumped against the sofa behind her. Despair was apparent on her exquisite face as she muttered, “How did it end up like this? How? No way…”

“Miss, at this point, we…what should we do?” Glenn asked, feeling a little defeated and afraid.

“It must be the orders from Su Chen!” It was only now that Doris understood how much she had underestimated who she was going up against!

Mu Yuchen was too good. Had he been set on trapping her? Had he wanted her to just sit and wait for her death?

No way!

As Doris thought about that, her fists suddenly clenched and her blue eyes flashed with a chilly sharpness.

Anger, gloominess, determination!

Many emotions raged in her eyes. After a while, she took a deep breath and instantly held back the emotions she felt, remaining calm. “Arrange for a car immediately. We’re leaving the hotel right away.”

“But where can we go? Miss, I think that Mu Yuchen must have delegated people to watch out for us all over!” he said worriedly.

“Tell Jenny to change into my clothes. She must get into the car and drive it towards City B!” Doris’s blue eyes were still flickering with some sharp light as she ordered.

At this point, Glenn immediately understood where Doris was going with this, he quickly said, “Miss, are you thinking of a crafty escape plan?”

“Since you understand, then get it done right away! Time is tight. We have to leave quickly!”

Doris could not care less now. After all her orders were issued, she got up and walked to the room beside.

“Yes, Miss! I’ll get it done right away!” Glenn answered, then quickly retreated.

After about half an hour, engulfed by the gloomy night, Doris’s car slowly drove away from the hotel and went towards City B.

The vehicle had just driven out of the city when a call was made to Su Chen.

At the moment, it was already late at night. Su Chen and Ji Zitong were all showered and prepared to rest by the beach.

“Chief Su, their car has just driven out of the city area. Do we want to continue following them?” the person on the other end of the phone asked Su Chen for instructions.

Frowning, Su Chen’s determined face was solemn for a moment. He slowly closed the book in his hand as he responded, “Chase them! Go to see what the situation is like at the hotel. See if they’ve checked out. Something’s odd if they’re leaving so late.”

“Yes, Chief Su! We’ve got it!” the person on the other end responded before Su Chen hung up.

Ji Zitong pulled open the blanket and lay down. When she noticed Su Chen’s odd expression, she asked concernedly, “It’s quite late. What is it?”

“It’s fine, just work. How did things go with Mother today?” Su Chen put the phone on the table beside him as he pulled the blanket open to get out of bed.

“It’s fine. There are still many things to learn. It’s a little hard.”

Ever since her flower shop caught on fire, Ji Zitong did not think about continuing as a florist. She also accepted Xie Jiajia and Su Chen’s suggestion to start familiarizing herself with the business with Xie Jiajia by her side.

“Slowly now. You have to follow the process for everything, one thing at a time. When you were in the army camp, you had to learn from marching on the same spot and matching in sync before you learned goose-steps. Aren’t these things like learning how to walk?”

Su Chen was not interested in doing business, but he did understand this logic. Then, he took some books from the top of the cupboard and put it on the little bookcase beside him.

“Everyone knows this rationale, but it’s quite hard when you start doing it. Right, about the flower store, what’s the update on that?” With him overseeing that matter, Ji Zitong felt assured leaving it to him.

“We caught a few of the young people who did it. Young people these days are so rebellious. They have far more guts than we did at their age. They never think of consequences. Just like how you were back then, you never thought about what would come after when you did things.” When Chief Su said this, he turned and glanced at Ji Zitong.

Ji Zitong was stunned and her expression sank. She could not help but say coldly, “Well, I was young. Of course, I’d be high-spirited! As long as we recognize that and correct it, only after you’ve gone through some things will you be able to…”

“You don’t have to defend yourself. It’s not like you’ve never done those silly things. Some experiences don’t need to be undergone either. You just need to know the severity of the consequences like taking drugs and murder. Do you have to experience those yourself? As for correcting yourself after recognizing mistakes, you don’t get a chance to fix some mistakes. A few days ago, at a nearby village, there were more than 10 underaged female students who were armed and got into a fight. You can imagine how terrible that could have been. We won’t look into this incident for now so that they won’t have their case files stained as it wouldn’t be any good for them in the future.”

Su Chen walked over, poured himself a cup of water, and had a sip.

“So, I heard Secretary He say that you’ve been catching those people for ideological education, hmm?” Ji Zitong squinted and looked at him with curiosity.

When Chief Su heard that, he frowned and said in a lowered voice, “Those people are underaged children. They aren’t inherently bad, thus they’ll be able to change with some guidance. Young people these days, and especially in situations like theirs, are just at crossroads. If no one guides them properly, they will easily take on the bent road. The Ministry of Public Security is always troubled by these every year.”

“You people who work for the state don’t actually have it easy.” Ji Zitong laughed.

“Not easy at all. Who wouldn’t want to just live life idly? I’m holding this post, so I must concern myself with such matters. If I were a businessman like Ah Chen, I might have been part of the nouveau rich by now.”
