Chapter 9
Chapter 9: Everything Is Calculated!:
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then hung up the phone without mentioning his suspicions to Zhang Long.
In that instant, he had already figured it out.
He set down his phone and looked at the overpass ahead, smiling slightly.
…
Inside a black SUV, a middle-aged man took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, boss, Chen Yan is still on the road, nothing unusual.” The man said casually. This task was incredibly easy for him, possibly the easiest job he had ever taken.
Just a young guy, after all.
“Hmm, I understand. Be cautious.” A stern male voice replied from the other end.
The man felt a bit indifferent. If he couldn’t track such a young guy, he might as well go home and sleep. He was very confident in his professional skills.
“Understood.” He responded, and then set the phone aside.
At that moment, he noticed Chen Yan’s Maybach suddenly changing lanes.
Hmm? Did he notice me?
No, he shook his head as he saw the Maybach steady its course again.
Inside the Maybach, Chen Yan calmly continued driving. Seeing a large truck ahead, he changed lanes and accelerated.
He didn’t have time to waste; it was time to shake off his tail.
This move made the man in the SUV jump. Experience told him he had been detected, and that the young man was trying to lose him.
There was no time to ponder when he had been discovered. He quickly hit the accelerator and began to analyze the route.
The upcoming intersection, specifically the overpass, caught his attention. A large truck and an overpass—he smiled. The young man was trying to use the truck to obscure his view and trick him onto the overpass while he took the road below.
It was a perfect plan, one that might have fooled someone slower to react. But not him. He eased off the gas, pretending not to notice Chen Yan’s plan, avoiding any suspicion.
The intersection approached, and Chen Yan, as expected, headed for the overpass. The man smiled slightly, thinking it was time.
He floored the gas pedal, passing the truck. But then, his smile froze.
The Maybach, which had been in the left lane, suddenly accelerated and changed lanes, heading onto the overpass.
The middle-aged man was stunned! He quickly tried to change lanes, but the truck had already blocked the adjacent lane. He could only watch as the Maybach sped away on the overpass, accompanied by a torrent of curses from the truck driver.
On the overpass, Chen Yan smiled.
With perfect intelligence, how could he be so easily outwitted?
He had calculated everything from the start.
He could tell from the way the tail drove that he was experienced, so he took a reverse approach.
If the tail thought he was trying to trick him onto the overpass, he would simply take the overpass instead.
In short, while the man thought Chen Yan was on the first level, Chen Yan was already on the ninth.
…
Meanwhile, outside Jinghai University’s gate.
A handsome, tall young man appeared, accompanied by a woman in her thirties, wearing a white backless dress. Her bold makeup and enchanting eyes exuded a unique mature charm.
The young man was Ye Chen, and the woman was his aunt, Yang Susu.
“Xiao Chen, you go ahead. I have to head to the company.” Yang Susu said softly, and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
Ye Chen nodded, “Aunt Su, drive safe.”
“Alright, go on.” she replied.
After seeing Ye Chen off, Yang Susu got into a nearby Ferrari and drove to CX Company.
On the other side, Chen Yan had also arrived at the CX Company building.
He hadn’t forgotten this significant character, Yang Susu. In the plot, she founded CX Company, which focused on the women’s lingerie market.
Though not as financially powerful as Ding Sheng Group or Su Group, CX held a notable influence in Jinghai, especially in women’s lingerie, ranking among the top in the country.
She also had an ambiguous relationship with the protagonist.
Inside the Maybach, Chen Yan took out his phone and called his father.
The call connected quickly.
“Boy, what’s up?” his father answered.
Chen Yan got straight to the point, “Dad, don’t follow me.”
Indeed, after talking to Zhang Long, Chen Yan had deduced who had sent the tail. Chen Sheng’s attitude was one clue, and the fact that he was driving Su’s car today meant the tail must have been tipped off.
Most likely, Su Yushun had contacted his father last night, and the tail had been waiting in the Yuming Bay villa area since morning. At that time, Chen Yan’s perception ability was still at the novice level, so he hadn’t noticed the tail.
Chen Sheng was momentarily stunned on the other end of the line. He had already received the message that the tail had been lost, but the fact that his son figured out so quickly who sent the tail was surprising.
“You brat.” Chen Sheng muttered, unable to deny it.
“Alright, alright. Have Uncle Zhang bring a Phaeton to CX Company. I’ll be waiting downstairs.” Chen Yan said, not wanting to argue.
CX?! Chen Sheng immediately caught the key point.
“What are you doing at CX?” he asked.
But the call had already ended, which left him fuming.
That brat was up to something again!
