Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1786: Chapter 1785: Chang Jiansheng

He looked at Liu Ling seriously and said, "If you trust me, ride in my car. I’m going back to the Imperial Capital too, and then we can report this to the police. This Driver Master must have a problem."

Liu Ling blinked and nodded, naturally she wouldn’t refuse, "Thank you then."

Then she followed the young man into the car, which drove towards the highway to the Imperial Capital.

In the car, Liu Ling learned that this man was named Chang Jiansheng.

He runs a wholesale store and was delivering goods to a place.

Liu Ling also told him her name. Liu Ling was good at chatting, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

However, they didn’t share much personal information.

No matter what, they were still strangers.

A few hours later, they arrived at the Imperial Capital. Chang Jiansheng took Liu Ling to the nearest police station to report the incident, leaving their contact information.

Liu Ling found it annoying; she really didn’t like such troubles, but there was no choice—some things needed explanations.

Fortunately, that Driver Master had already vanished without a trace. You couldn’t find anything even if you tried, and this Driver Master had ropes and many unspeakable tools in the car, so even if the police suspected her, there was no evidence at all.

You should know, he didn’t even leave ashes, so Liu Ling paid no mind and soon left this matter behind her.

She thought she’d never meet him again, but surprisingly, the next day, they met once more because the police were asking questions.

After asking some routine questions, they let the two leave.

And now that taxi driver was listed as a missing person, though they found many things in the car and continued the investigation, but this was no longer related to Chang Jiansheng or Liu Ling.

To thank Chang Jiansheng for his help, Liu Ling decided to invite him for a meal.

Chang Jiansheng initially didn’t want to go, but Liu Ling said she’s someone who dislikes owing favors. Chang Jiansheng thought for a moment and agreed.

Deep down, he understood that Liu Ling might be worried he’d leverage their connection in the future to ask for something, since by all appearances, Liu Ling seemed to be quite wealthy or noble.

Chang Jiansheng had seen through the warmth and coolness of human relationships long ago and didn’t mind. Since she wanted to sever ties, let it be so. He had no ulterior motives; it was merely a convenient gesture at the time.

This restaurant was newly opened.

The inside was clean and elegant; it was not yet noon, so there weren’t many customers, but the waiter welcomed them warmly.

They ordered a few signature dishes and sat down to eat. Chang Jiansheng did not eat much and had no intention of engaging in small talk with Liu Ling, making the table atmosphere a bit awkward. But Liu Ling didn’t mind; she just wanted to confirm how much this Mr. Chang really knew.

Better safe than sorry, it’s always good to be cautious.

In the end, she found out she was overthinking.

Though the man and woman were familiar, they had no intentions of continuing any relationship. Chang Jiansheng had other matters and hurriedly left.

Liu Ling, of course, paid the bill, then stood at the doorway to see Chang Jiansheng off.

Just then, a car pulled up, and Chu Chengfeng stepped out looking displeased as he glanced at Liu Ling, then at the direction where Chang Jiansheng had left...

Liu Ling was pleasantly surprised to see Chu Chengfeng, "Mo Li brother, why are you here?"

"I’m here to discuss some matters with a friend, how about you?"

Liu Ling did not hide anything from him and said directly, "There’s something I forgot to tell you. I went to Yanjing yesterday and ran into some trouble on the way back..."

Chu Chengfeng furrowed his brow and picked up the phone to call his friend, cancelling today’s appointment, and then took Liu Ling back to the apartment.

Some things are not to be discussed in public places; Liu Ling mentioned trouble, which was about the Mystic Sect, rather than something ordinary.

Then Chu Chengfeng learned about what happened the previous night.

Regarding Liu Ling’s handling of the situation, Chu Chengfeng had no objections, but unexpectedly, it led to her meeting Chang Jiansheng.

Remembering the grievances between Chang Jiansheng’s family and the Gu Family, Chu Chengfeng decided it was better to selectively inform Liu Ling of some key connections.

So she won’t be exploited by Chang Jiansheng, who knows the insider details, not due to fear of her getting hurt, but being exploited is not worth it.

"Are you serious?"

Liu Ling asked Chu Chengfeng in disbelief.

She really hadn’t expected that a randomly encountered person would have connections with Gu Qiaoqiao’s family. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

And not just any kind of connection.

A glimmer of interest flashed in Liu Ling’s eyes, but she concealed it well.

Chu Chengfeng nodded seriously, "Yes, Ling Ling, though this person hasn’t done anything, what they did in the past was truly atrocious. No matter what, they are Ning Wanru’s close relatives, so some caution is necessary."

Liu Ling originally wanted to argue but thought better of it, nodding obediently, "Alright, don’t worry. I invited him to lunch today just to thank him for his help."

Chu Chengfeng, preoccupied, naturally didn’t catch the other layer of meaning Liu Ling expressed; today’s lunch was merely to thank him for the help, and regarding future contact, Liu Ling didn’t mention it, but Chu Chengfeng assumed it was Liu Ling’s promise.

Both harboring their own thoughts, after a moment of silence, suddenly felt at a loss for words.

Chu Chengfeng awkwardly stood up and hurriedly left without waiting for Liu Ling to speak, but before leaving, promised to take Liu Ling to the lantern festival during the Spring Festival.

The smile on Liu Ling’s face gradually faded; it was not her imagination, nor was she overthinking—Chu Chengfeng had indeed changed.

While he still honored their commitments, some things were undeniably different from before.

But she couldn’t say anything because now Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen were virtually estranged.

A mocking smile touched her lips; if Sima Xiaowen were a bit proactive, what would Chu Chengfeng be like?

Liu Ling angrily smashed the tea set on the coffee table into pieces.

Her lovely face twisted slightly from anger, she never expected things to differ so much from her anticipation, some things were increasingly out of control.

So should she let Chu Chengfeng abandon everything, and they both leave this bustling place together?

She narrowed her eyes and pondered.

Feeling it wasn’t a bad choice at all, but even living in seclusion requires choosing a place with convenient transportation. She certainly doesn’t want to be stuck in remote mountains with no inhabitants for years.

Although they are sect disciples, they must also keep up with the times, right?

Calming down, Liu Ling suddenly remembered Chang Jiansheng.
