673 Natural instinct

She switched on her phone and sent a message to Xia Chaoqun, indicating that she had arrived in Hong Kong. She had not called Feng Zhongliang and PEI Yi yet.

In order to hide her identity, she blended in with the crowd on the other flight.

Among the passengers who were lugging their luggage, Jiang se was carrying a small bag. Even though she was wearing a mask and her hair was covering her face, her tall and thin figure and outstanding aura still made her rather eye-catching. The pedestrians kept turning to look at her and tried to guess her identity.

She stood outside the airport as the wind blew in her face. It was so cold that she shivered, and it was mixed with a slight chill that penetrated her heart. Under the street lights, the drizzle was like a fog floating in the air that could not be dispersed.

Jiang se was at a loss as to what to do in the crowded airport. She had never felt as lost as she was at this moment.

The taxi stopped beside her. The door opened and she got in. The driver asked her where she was going and asked twice. Seeing that she didn’t answer, he thought she didn’t understand, so he changed to Chinese and English to ask her.

“Go take a walk.”

Just as she opened her mouth, she was at a loss for words. She asked the driver to wait while she took out her phone and called Jiang Zhiyuan.

Although she had said that she would meet Jiang Zhiyuan on the phone last night, her heart was still pounding when she actually saw him.

Talking to him and meeting him were two different things. She knew how dangerous her current situation was. She was the only survivor who had seen the scariest side of Jiang Zhiyuan and was extremely afraid of him.

That fear had accompanied her for more than 20 years. It was only with PEI Yi’s help that she was able to gradually overcome the trauma in her heart.

When they met again this time, he might have already found out from Feng Nan that she was not his real ‘daughter’ and knew that she had his phone number. He might have given his phone number to someone else.

No one could tell what Jiang Zhiyuan was thinking. When he realized that he was being threatened, Jiang se could not guarantee what he would do.

He might have suspected that Jiang SE’s purpose for meeting him was to lure him out. Perhaps she had set up a trap for him to fall into.

Feng Zhongliang once said that compared to the him 20 years ago, the current him was undoubtedly more difficult to predict.

In his early years, he still had scruples, so after being arrested, he confessed to all his crimes and stayed in prison for nineteen years.

However, if the current him knew the truth and no longer had any weaknesses, who knew what kind of crazy things he would do.

She gripped her phone tightly. Her back was drenched in cold sweat. The number that she had dialed showed that the line was occupied. Jiang se heaved a sigh of relief when she did not get through.

Jiang se pulled her mask down a little and took a deep breath. She dialed Jiang Zhiyuan’s number again, but it was still a notification that the line was occupied.

Her grandfather must have been trying to contact Jiang Zhiyuan after getting his phone number, or he must have done something to it.

She gave up on the idea of making a call and typed a short message to send. I’m in Hong Kong. Where are you?

Jiang Zhiyuan called her very quickly. This was what Jiang se had been hoping for, but now that it had come to this, she was a little hesitant.

The phone rang a few times. The chauffeur in front could not help but turn to look at her. Jiang se took a moment to prepare herself before she answered the call.

“I’m here.”

Jiang Zhiyuan’s voice was a little hoarse as he gave a rough location.

He was really in Hong Kong. The location he said was close to the Bay and had the reputation of being the highest mountain in Hong Kong.

There were many rich people’s villas on the mountain. The scenery at the top of the mountain was beautiful. At night, one could have a panoramic view of the entire Hong Kong. In the era of the Queen of Britain, there was a saying,’Victoria’s eyes’, which was quite famous.

Compared to more than twenty years ago, he had indeed changed a lot. After kidnapping Feng Nan, he did not hide in a sparsely populated place but chose such a well-known place instead. No wonder Feng Nan had been missing for so long, but Feng Zhongliang and the others still had no clue.

She composed herself and told the taxi driver the address. There were many people going to ‘Victoria mountain’ at this time. In the early morning, many people who liked to climb mountains and run in the morning would always choose such a place to exercise.

However, it was still too early. Moreover, it was obvious that Jiang se had just gotten off the plane not long ago. She was not well-prepared and did not look like she was going to exercise.

Although the driver was curious, he didn’t ask any questions and drove directly to this place.

At this time, in PEI Yi’s home in Hong Kong, he was holding a cup of tea and listening to the news reported by someone.

Madam’s plane should have landed half an hour ago, but we’ve carefully checked the people who came out of that flight and didn’t find any traces of her.

Ever since Jiang se had called him last night, PEI Yi had felt that something was amiss. He had sent his men to keep an eye on the news in France.

After Xia Chaoqun had helped Jiang se book a return flight to Hong Kong, PEI Yi had received the news immediately. He had rushed to Hong Kong immediately.

He had people stationed at the airport to keep an eye on Jiang SE’s flight so that they could bring her home as soon as they found her.

Jiang Zhiyuan had been unable to locate him for a long time. However, as long as Jiang se was under his watch, he would be at ease. To his surprise, the people who were watching her still lost sight of her.

He clenched his teacup tightly and suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart. Fortunately, he had already prepared a backup plan. He had someone keep an eye on Jiang SE’s phone.

When she contacted Jiang Zhiyuan, PEI Yi had heard the news and their conversation.

At this moment, he did not have the time to think about how Jiang se had managed to get Jiang Zhiyuan’s contact information. He also did not have the time to think about why she would suddenly take the initiative to meet this man whom she should have avoided like the plague. He was only worried about Jiang SE’s safety.

After getting Jiang Zhiyuan’s whereabouts, he immediately ordered his men to prepare a helicopter and a car to head to the address that Jiang Zhiyuan had mentioned.

“But you came over in private. The old master doesn’t know yet.”

The person reporting to him was a little hesitant. PEI Yi waved his hand. He could not care less about that right now. What he needed to do now was to buy time. He had to stop Jiang se before she could see Jiang Zhiyuan.

Jiang SE’s car drove all the way to Jiang Zhiyuan’s place. The night view of Hong Kong was mesmerizing. There were not many people and cars around at this time of the day. There was an unusual tranquility to it.

The price list on the taxi kept jumping up and down, and the scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded, proving that she was getting closer and closer to Jiang Zhiyuan.

It was strange. She had thought that she would be extremely panicked and uneasy, but when the real thing happened, she began to calm down.

The car stopped at the foot of the mountain. She paid and got out of the car. A trace of light had already appeared on the horizon. Under the hazy light, the sea tide had receded, and the sea breeze carried a faint fishy smell.

Jiang Zhiyuan should be waiting for her somewhere nearby. He might have already noticed her arrival and was probably hiding in a corner, monitoring her movements.

She did not regret making this trip alone. The only regret she had was that she could not see PEI Yi again before she made this trip.

For some reason, she felt that Jiang Zhiyuan would not hurt her.

Although she had no reason for this feeling and it was not very reliable, PEI Yi and Feng Zhongliang would definitely scold her if they knew what she thought.

She pulled the backpack on her shoulder and took two steps, following Jiang Zhiyuan’s hint and walking towards the road at the end.

At this time, there were not many people on the road. It was too early, and the people climbing the mountain and running in the morning had not yet appeared. Only the sound of the waves hitting the shore and the rustling of the sea breeze blowing through the grass could be heard.

She had called PEI Yi. He should be asleep at this time, but she was always acting willfully in front of him because he liked her.

He picked up the phone very quickly and asked, ”

“Where is it?”

From his words, Jiang se knew that he must have found out about her whereabouts. However, she did not expect him to react so quickly.

in ‘Victoria’s eyes’. She told PEI Yi where she was and it was exactly the place that Jiang Zhiyuan had told her about. PEI Yi had rushed over in a car, but no matter how fast he was going, he still could not catch up to her.

“Don’t go, Sese. Be good.”

He suppressed his anxiety and gently advised her, ”

“If you want to see him, wait until I’m here.”

She could not see PEI Yi’s face, but she knew that he must have been so anxious that he was trying to coax her.

Jiang se had never felt that she was willful. Feng Zhongliang had once commented on her character. He said that she was mature, quiet, and introverted. She did things according to the rules and rarely did anything unexpected. Sometimes, her grandfather would even complain that she was too obedient and quiet, unlike a young person.

She chuckled. ah Yi, don’t worry. I just want to see him. There are some things that I should tell him.

She grabbed the phone and felt her lover’s anxious voice on the other end of the phone. She couldn’t help but feel distressed.

“Don’t be afraid. He probably won’t hurt me.” Even though Feng Nan was spouting nonsense, she still had Jiang Zhiyuan’s blood running through her veins.

“Don’t look at him trembling, wait for me to come over, okay? 20 minutes at most, 20 minutes will do.”

He had never been so submissive before. He was anxious, angry, and afraid, but he couldn’t lose his temper at her.

“Wait for me. I beg you, Sese.” He was on the verge of tears. That feeling was indescribable.

“I’m just going to meet him and have a chat.” She consoled PEI Yi.

“Let’s see if Feng Nan is still alive,”

“What’s so important about her? what does her life have to do with me?” In PEI Yi’s heart, she could not even be compared to a strand of Jiang SE’s hair.

Moreover, Feng Nan had fallen into Jiang Zhiyuan’s hands, and she had only herself to blame. If she had not harbored any ill intentions at that time, this would not have happened.

“Don’t worry about her, she asked for it! Wait for me, I’ll accompany you if you want to see him.”

The tip of her nose was sour, and her eyes were misty. Hearing his words, she blinked and forced the tears back. He was so anxious that his tone had changed. She could not bear to let him be so worried, so she nodded.

“Alright,” he said.

She told him her current location. She was still some distance away from the place that Jiang Zhiyuan had mentioned, but she had not seen him yet. She then instructed PEI Yi to drive slowly and not too fast, and she would wait for him here.

He heaved a sigh of relief, but he still refused to hang up the phone. He asked her to keep the phone open at all times, afraid that she would not listen to him.

yes, ” Jiang se replied. She combed her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and when she looked up, she accidentally saw a figure standing at the entrance to the mountain.

She didn’t know when the figure had appeared there or how long he had been standing there. His shadow had merged with the reflection of the short bushes. If she hadn’t looked over there, she might not have noticed him at first.

Jiang se was so shocked that she almost dropped the phone in her hand. She gulped. PEI Yi did not hear her speak on the other end of the line. He shouted warily, ”

“Se se, se se!” His voice was a little sharp.

She paused, licked her lips, and grabbed the strap of her bag, as if she wanted to use this to boost her courage.

The figure was also looking in her direction. From a distance, she couldn’t see the outline of his face, but she could vaguely make out that it was a thin but tall man.

He had clearly noticed that Jiang se had noticed him, but he did not move toward her. The distance between them and his quiet posture gave Jiang se a sense of security.

“I’m here,” She consoled PEI Yi and tried to walk in the direction of this person. Her heart was beating like a drum, and the closer she got, the clearer she could see.

Jiang Zhiyuan was standing there, wearing a jacket that had been washed so much that it had turned white. His hands were in his pockets, and his hair was a little messy from the sea breeze.

He was almost one with the sky as he watched Jiang se approach.

“You, why are you here?”

She grabbed her hair and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. His hands were still in his pockets. He did not pull them out. This undoubtedly made Jiang se feel slightly more at ease.

“I came over to take a look.” He was silent, and after a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence.

In front of Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang se calmly placed her phone, which she had not hung up on PEI Yi, into her bag. He glanced at it and had no intention of stopping her.

it’s my husband. He’s always worried about me and can’t be at ease. Please forgive me.

“I should.” He stared at Jiang se greedily. He observed her facial features and mannerisms up close as if he was trying to memorize her appearance and demeanor.

He was smart enough to understand why Jiang se had said and done all these things in front of him. She was giving him a ‘warning’ to prove that PEI Yi was on his way here and to make him worry.

This child knew how to protect herself. She was indeed his daughter.

He was worried as well. The moment he received Jiang SE’s call, he ‘left’ early in the morning, afraid that she would get into an accident on the way.

He wasn’t afraid of being laughed at. In his life, he had rarely experienced anxiety and fear, and he wasn’t someone who liked to let his thoughts run wild. However, ever since he knew that she was coming over, he was always afraid that she would get into an illegal taxi and that the driver was not a good person.

There were always morning joggers on this road. There were many bad guys like him outside. He had done bad things before and was afraid that his daughter would encounter such a thing.

That was why he had been waiting here since early in the morning. He watched her get out of the car and stand there making a phone call until she found him.
