Chapter 905: Chapter 790 What car accident? I don’t know! (Please subscribe!)
After interrogating the two African police officers,
Kadik reported the progress to his big boss, Labulin.
Hearing that Chai Ren had been released and had safely left in his own car, Labulin breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to answer that he hadn’t found him next time he made a call.
A sitting President.
A very likely next President, putting him under considerable pressure.
"Immediately investigate these two officers, address this matter seriously, and if any illegal activities are found, they must not be let off. Even if nothing turns up, they must be dismissed. Also, take control of Chadok immediately," ordered Labulin.
Letting Chadok take the blame.
Suited his intentions perfectly.
"Yes, but Mr. Labulin," said Kadik cautiously, "about the car accident just now, could it possibly be related to Chai Ren?" he expressed his suspicion, as the circumstances were mysterious, and from a motive standpoint, Chai Ren could not be ruled out.
"Do you have any evidence?" Labulin asked indifferently.
Kadik quickly shook his head, "No, I just have some doubts."
"Doubts are not evidence. This was just an accident, but we still need to pursue the perpetrator. You go ahead and start the case," Labulin chose to handle things by the book. Without evidence, better not talk recklessly.
"Yes, I understand," Kadik was also just asking formally and did not want to entangle Chai Ren further.
As for catching the perpetrator,
he didn’t hold out much hope.
In a country almost devoid of surveillance networks, finding a car in the capital, Kinshasa, would be like trying to chase the wind.
...
Back in the car,
Chai Ren finally settled down completely.
It really was a false alarm.
He drank half a bottle of mango juice to calm his nerves.
Just then,
his phone rang.
"Hello, Dad." Chai Ren switched to a relaxed smile, sure that it must have been his assistant who reported to Chai Guoqiang. Having had his phone confiscated earlier, he felt bitter towards the mastermind behind this, seeing the dozen missed calls.
"You are alright now?" Chai Guoqiang’s voice was very calm.
Chai Ren was taken aback by the attitude, wondering where the concern was. At least show some concern about whether your son had suffered or been hurt. Well, that was quite in line with his father’s character.
Wait a minute.
"Dad, did you contact Tang Qing?" Chai Ren asked curiously.
"Of course, with you getting into trouble there, who else should I contact if not Tang Qing? You’ve had two incidents in Congo Gold already. Don’t go there for a while; the situation there is very complicated now," replied Chai Guoqiang in a stern tone, but Chai Ren could sense the anxiety within.
He didn’t say never to go again.
To them, certain things had to be done, and had to be done by someone from their own family, as a kind of responsibility and attitude.
As for the dangers?
One could choke to death drinking water at home.
What doesn’t carry risk? It’s all about control, it’s just that Chai Ren had been somewhat unlucky this time around.
"I understand," Chai Ren answered with a smile, seemingly recalling something, then asked, "Dad, what did Tang Qing say to you just now?"
"He didn’t say much, just that you would be out soon. Moi and Waite have already stepped in, and you will be released quickly. But when I asked him about who was behind this, he said he didn’t know. I guess he might know but doesn’t want to say,"
Chai Guoqiang recalled Tang Qing’s tone, which really didn’t seem like that of an ordinary university student; not only knowledgeable about many things but also seemingly fearless towards Moi and Waite.
It almost felt no different from being a random Pedestrian A.
It was a feeling.
"This Little Tang always likes to tease us with suspense, no, he likes to hide the real situation," Chai Ren couldn’t help but complain. Teasing is all about keeping us on the hook, and he would eventually tell us, but Tang Qing, it seemed, if he chose not to discuss certain things, would not mention them at all.
"Yeah, Tang Qing, I feel he is becoming more and more complicated. He managed to raise a billion dollars so quickly, and despite knowing how tricky this all is, he still dared to step into it boldly, always so calm in face of issues," Chai Guoqiang sighed.
"Hehe, Dad, why think so much? Tang Qing is our friend, and that’s enough," Chai Ren laughed nonchalantly.
"True, he said he has booked a plane ticket for you to return home this afternoon. Pack up well, I have a meeting to start soon, be careful on your way," Chai Guoqiang was also a busy man.
"Okay, goodbye, Dad."
The call ended.
Chai Ren thought for a moment.
Then he called Tang Qing again.
"Young Master Chai, was today’s experience thrilling, was it exciting?" Tang Qing laughed heartily. He hadn’t expected that in Congo Gold, they would put Chai Ren in such an escort vehicle; it was probably Chai Ren’s first time in one.
Chai Ren was speechless.
Thrilling?
Exciting?
Thinking about the car accident that just occurred, Chai Ren was startled. It couldn’t really be arranged by Tang Qing, could it? How could it be possible, it hadn’t been long, how could Tang Qing have time to arrange something like this?
"Little Tang, about that, the car accident just now," Chai Ren hesitated.
Tang Qing’s voice was full of surprise: "Car accident, what car accident, did you have a car accident? But they didn’t say you were hit, weird, by the way, what were you saying?"
"..."
Chai Ren was at a loss for words.
Could your act be any less convincing?
But everyone involved is smart.
Speaking to this extent, Tang Qing has already been a good enough friend. Although he didn’t say whether he had someone do it, he definitely knew about it, and the accident was certainly no accident.
"I want to say, I was startled. When I get back, I’m coming to your house for a meal to calm my nerves," Chai Ren tactfully changed the topic, though it wasn’t about surviving by a fluke, he just wanted to eat something good.
"Can’t you just eat at your own house?" Tang Qing retorted irritably.
"Who made your cook so good? Ever heard of ’Holding the Precious Jade is a Crime’? I’m telling you, you’ve committed a huge crime, and I’m here to help you redeem yourself. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility," Chai Ren started blabbering.
"Alright, alright, eat and be stuffed," Tang Qing laughed.
"I won’t get stuffed because I’ll be taking food home," Chai Ren countered proudly.
"Gotta hang up, I’m still in class. Your plane ticket is already bought, it’s for three in the afternoon," Tang Qing said sternly.
Chai Ren also became serious: "Thank you."
"No big deal."
The call ended.
Chai Ren quickly returned to the hotel.
Seeing Chai Ren come back so quickly, several staff members were surprised. To be able to come out from the local police station so quickly, Chai Ren must have set a record, it seemed his connections here were strong.
"Chairman Chai, are you alright?" The assistant hurriedly ran down.
Chai Ren shook his head.
"I’m fine, notify all departments to proceed as planned, and you’ll come back home with me this afternoon."
"Yes." The assistant sighed in relief. Previously, this place seemed safe with Fuloz here, but now that Fuloz had just been arrested and Chai Ren had been taken away, although he was out now, this place had left a psychological scar on him.
It was better to leave.
