Seeing her in such a hurry.

Chen Fang couldn't afford to think too much.

Once in the car, the door wasn't even closed properly before the woman hit the gas pedal, the engine roared as they left the City Government Building and disappeared into the traffic.

Thinking that Yu Zhengchuan would soon come out looking for him.

He quickly sent a text message.

Just as he put the phone down.

The woman must have seen him sending the message just moments before.

She immediately said nervously, "You can't use the phone right now. Even if you turn it off, they will find you."

After saying that.

She took Chen Fang's phone without asking and threw it into the roadside greenery.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Fang was bewildered.

Why throw away a perfectly good phone?

The woman looked certain.

She said, "Trust me, it's for your own good. Once this is over, I'll buy you the most expensive phone you want."

What was this all about, anyway?

Which matter exactly?

He was just about to ask.

The woman's car turned into an alley.

After parking the car in a corner.

She opened the door, took out a travel bag from the back, and said to Chen Fang, "We can't drive anymore, or they'll track us. Let's go through that alley up ahead, we'll walk."

Once Chen Fang got out of the car.

The woman looked around cautiously.

First, she covered the car with a car cover.

Then she grabbed Chen Fang's hand and pulled him along, "Come with me."

At this point, Chen Fang actually wanted to leave.

But then he remembered he was about to transfer to the Xiaxiang City Government.

This woman surely had some connection with Zhou Nongxin. He might as well follow her to see if he could find any leverage. It could give him some confidence, no?

So he followed her.

Just like that.

The two of them, one leading, one following.

After passing through an old alley.

The woman pointed to a second-floor apartment in an old residential building and said, "This is it."

She clicked up the stairs.

Still cautious, she looked around.

Took out a key and unlocked the door.

As she pushed open the door.

A puff of dust hit their faces, making Chen Fang cough.

The woman covered her mouth and nose.

She yanked Chen Fang inside the room.

When the door closed.

It seemed like she had accomplished a big task and leaned against the door, panting heavily.

"That was close. If we had been a moment later, we'd be finished."

The woman muttered.

At that moment.

The entire room's decor came into view for Chen Fang.

It was a very dated apartment.

Clearly, no one had lived here for a long time.

The living room had an old wooden sofa set and a coffee table, with an old black-and-white TV, an imported brand, on the TV stand, with nothing else there.

Everything was covered in thick dust.

Besides a dysfunctional kitchen.

There was a bathroom and two bedrooms.

The doors were closed, so Chen Fang couldn't see inside.

Still stunned.

The woman suddenly extended her hand to Chen Fang and said, "I'm Shu Yang, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you saving me, I might..."

She didn't finish.

But it was clear her expression was sincere.

Chen Fang was a bit taken aback.

He said, "My name is Chen Fang."

"Chen Fang, this name sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere... Anyway, let's not worry about that. We're going to rely on each other in this room for the time being. Don't worry, I'll see this through to the end."

The woman finished speaking.

She placed the travel bag on the TV stand.

Rolled up her sleeves and said, "This is my parents' old house. No one's lived here since my family moved out. If not for this incident, who knows how long it would've stayed abandoned."

After that.

She headed into the bathroom.

Saying, "I'll clean up a bit, you rest for a while."

Just as she was about to leave.

Chen Fang grabbed her.

Asked, "Shu... Shu Yang, wait a minute. What exactly is going on? You said we're going to rely on each other in this room. What does that mean?"

Shu Yang paused.

Looked at Chen Fang as if she couldn't understand him.

She hesitated, then asked, "Do you know who you hit with the ashtray today?"

"Of course, Mayor Zhou Nongxin."

Chen Fang said.

Shu Yang said scornfully, "You know you hit Zhou Nongxin, and he's the mayor. Do you think he'd just let it slide after you hit him? The incident hasn't blown up yet, but once it does, the police will be looking for you everywhere. You might not just end up in jail; you could get years. But don't worry, you saved me, so I'm responsible for you. We'll lie low here first. When things settle down, I'll go out and make some calls. Even if prison time is unavoidable, I'll go instead."

When she said this.

She was pretty enthusiastic.

At this point.

Chen Fang finally understood.

Shu Yang was worried about both of them getting caught.

Indeed.

Zhou Nongxin definitely wouldn't let this go.

At least not for Shu Yang.

He paused and asked, "Ms. Shu, can I ask you, why did you..."

Upon hearing this.

Shu Yang sighed.

She said, "It's because of my bad luck..."

Shu Yang told Chen Fang.

She was in the air-conditioning business.

Limei Appliances was her product.

On hearing this.

Chen Fang was surprised and asked, "Limei Appliances is yours?"

The reason he asked this.

Was because Limei Appliances was a well-known brand in Jiangdong Province.

He didn't know the company's exact size, but the brand's air conditioners were quite famous.

Shu Yang gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "It's mine, but I didn't found it. My parents did. I only took over six months ago..."

Shu Yang's father was named Shu Chengshan, a well-known entrepreneur in Jiangdong Province.

Twenty years ago, Shu Chengshan gathered a bunch of people and founded Limei Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. in a small workshop.

Back then.

The market was dominated by imported air conditioners.

Though there were a few domestic brands, they weren't well-known or widely used.

Driven by the belief that "Chinese people should have their own air conditioners,"

Shu Chengshan's Limei Air Conditioners finally emerged over a decade ago.

In the following years.

Limei Air Conditioners grew increasingly successful, and the company's size expanded.

About six months ago.

A company from Nu Country approached Shu Chengshan with an offer to buy Limei Appliances for thirty billion yuan.

Of course, Shu Chengshan didn't want the company he founded to fall into Nu hands.

He refused the offer.

Unexpectedly, shortly afterward, disaster struck.
