Chapter 483 - Quite Good at Climbing Up Relations

“Ah, okay.” Qiao Nian hadn’t slept much during the three hours on the plane. She had been playing with her phone, but there was no signal. She was already feeling a little tired from playing puzzle games to kill time.

She narrowed her eyes and did not hear what the driver was talking about. She only responded politely from time to time as she leaned back in her seat to rest.

At this moment, her phone screen lit up. Qiao Nian picked it up and saw that Aunt Chen, who hadn’t replied to her message for a long time, had replied.

Qiao Nian rolled down the window, causing the wind to blow in, and she became much more awake. She rested her elbow on it and tapped on her phone with one hand.

Aunt Chen had sent her a long message, which roughly went: “Chen Yuan is fine. They have already found him. He went out with some random friends that he knew previously. He didn’t realize that his phone was off when he was playing halfway. He told you not to worry and not to rush back to Rao City because of this. He says you should just play around and not worry about him.”

She even told her that Chen Yuan was disobedient this time. They decided to let Chen Yuan reflect at home for a period of time, so they might not let him go to school for the time being.

Qiao Nian’s smooth fingers tapped on her cell phone casually. Her face was expressionless and she was quite calm.

If she hadn’t just received a call from Yuan Yongqin saying that she had found Chen Yuan at the police station, she would have at least believed it a little if she had seen this message. If she had seen it earlier, she might not have rushed back from Beijing in such a hurry…

Unfortunately, she already knew that Aunt Chen’s reply was just to comfort her. She didn’t want her to be dragged into this mess…

…

The airport was near Wangjiang Road. Half an hour later, Qiao Nian arrived at the Wangjiang Road police station.

She had just gotten out of the car when someone called out to her in surprise, “Miss Qiao, was President Yuan talking about you?”

Qiao Nian scanned the QR code and paid the fare before closing the door. When she turned around, she didn’t expect to see a familiar face. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, but her voice was slightly hoarse as she greeted the person, “Chief Cai.”

Cai Gang had previously seen her connections. She was from Cheng Feng Corporation and the power in Beijing. Most importantly, she had the Ye family behind her. How could he afford to be called Chief Cai by her? When he heard Qiao Nian’s form of address, he immediately waved his hand in surprise and smiled. “Don’t. Miss Qiao, you can call me Cai Gang.”

He was the deputy director. Although his position wasn’t high, he had real power in his hands. He was someone whom everyone in Rao City had to give face to. When the people saw his respectful and humble attitude toward a female high school student, they were all stunned. They kept looking at Qiao Nian, wishing they could see through her.

The expressions were extremely puzzled.

She was a high school student. Apart from being pretty, she didn’t seem to be any different. Why was Chief Cai treating a high school student like this?

Who was this girl?

However, Qiao Nian wasn’t affected by his humble attitude. She said casually, “I’ll call you Chief Cai instead. You’re older than me. According to seniority, I shouldn’t call you by your name directly.”

Cai Gang followed suit and immediately climbed up the ladder. A genial smile appeared on his stern face. “Haha. Miss Qiao, if you insist on following seniority, I happen to be about the same age as your uncle. You can call me Uncle Cai.”

“…” Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and did not comment.

Cai Gang could tell that she had an unfathomable power behind her. If he wanted to suck up to her, he didn’t really want to be thick-skinned and force her to acknowledge him as her uncle.
