Chapter 2296 - 2296

Liu Zhizhong and Gu Yan took a taxi and left the station directly.

Their suitcases were of course placed in the trunk, and they sat in the back row.

If one person sat in the front passenger seat, it wouldn't be convenient to talk.

After getting in the car, the driver asked where they were going, and Liu Zhizhong gestured for Gu Yan to go first.

Gu Yan then mentioned the Shell Hotel.

Liu Zhizhong added, "First, head to the Shell Hotel, then go to the Moon Viewing Hotel in the west of the city."

The driver got the destination, feeling this was quite the job!

The Shell Hotel is in the south of the city, whereas this station is in the eastern suburb of the provincial city, and the final destination is the Moon Viewing Hotel in the west of the city, possibly fifty to sixty kilometers away!

After the driver started driving, Gu Yan sat behind the driver, Liu Zhizhong sat on the right side of the back row, naturally leaving a position in the middle.

Their status really maintained the different roles of male and female, not close, not near, each polite.

Liu Zhizhong was indeed very polite, while Gu Yan felt a bit awkward.

Gu Yan, deep down, silently lamented, "Oh sister, oh sister, you married the wrong person, making it so awkward between me and Brother Zhizhong!"

However, she still whispered, "Brother Zhizhong, do you have business in the provincial city? Staying at the Moon Viewing Hotel is expensive!"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled and said, "Sort of, but I'm not staying there. It's just that there's a dinner and an event over there tonight."

"Oh..." Gu Yan nodded, wanting to ask what kind of event, but felt it wasn't appropriate, fearing it might be awkward.

Liu Zhizhong thought for a moment and asked, "There's still a week before the exam, are you staying at the Shell Hotel because it's close to the test venue?"

"Yes, right, the test venue is not far from here! Shell isn't very expensive, it's just right. Being close to the test venue makes it easier to rest and everything."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "That's right. The exam is important, but resting well is even more important. But, are you staying at Shell alone?"

"Yeah, why?"

Liu Zhizhong thought about it and said, "It's not great for you being single in the provincial city. Although it's a law-abiding society now, you never know about people like Lu Liang, what if he stalks you and harasses you at the hotel? Based on my experience, he's definitely got someone observing you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block you at the train station."

Gu Yan felt troubled upon hearing this, but after thinking about it, she said, "Who cares! If he dares to harass me at the hotel, I'd call the police! Besides, Shell isn't weak in security, they're effective. Additionally, if he really is... really is..."

Thinking of this, Gu Yan couldn't continue, glanced at Liu Zhizhong, and clammed up.

Liu Zhizhong noticed something, "Really is what?"

Gu Yan shook her head, "It's nothing, haha... it won't happen, haha..."

"Oh..."

Liu Zhizhong didn't bother to ask further.

Actually, Gu Yan was thinking: if Lu Liang really gets clingy, she'd call her brother-in-law Zhang Xiaoyang and let the Zhang Family deal with Lu Liang.

Yet, at this moment, mentioning the current brother-in-law in front of the former brother-in-law wasn't quite right, haha...

Ah, such a kind little sister-in-law...

The atmosphere in the taxi slightly turned silent.

Originally, Gu Yan had many things to tell Liu Zhizhong but didn't know where to start.

For Liu Zhizhong, it didn't matter, he'd talk if they talked, and stay silent if they didn't.

Plus, with the taxi driver as a third party present, it wasn't the place to chat.

Liu Zhizhong closed his eyes for a little break in the car.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yan had even less reason to say anything.

Actually, she still cared about this former brother-in-law. After all, Liu Zhizhong was treated quite unfairly, haha... Of course, now Liu Zhizhong was wealthy and doing well, for which she was genuinely happy for him.

Sometimes, Gu Yan asked her sister Gu Man if she regretted it?

Gu Man just shook her head with a wry smile and brushed it off with a few casual words.

On the way to the Shell Hotel, they had only driven halfway when the taxi driver said, "Hey, it seems there's an Audi car behind us, intentionally following!"

This immediately alerted Liu Zhizhong and Gu Yan, dispelling the silence in the car.

Gu Yan looked backward but didn't see anything.

However, Liu Zhizhong, sharp-eyed, quickly spotted the suspicious Audi in the rearview mirror and said, "Master, could you take a few random detours for us?"

"Detours? The company will blame me for intentionally going off route, and if you complain, I'm done for!"

Liu Zhizhong calmly smiled, handed him a two hundred yuan bill, and said, "First, consider this a fee for the detour; second, I won't complain. I only want to find out what the Audi's up to."

The driver took the money, naturally agreeing to go for a detour.

The tailing Audi, of course, belonged to Lu Liang's lackey, who managed to keep up.

The taxi driver was experienced, not senselessly going around but taking appropriate detours, while he and Liu Zhizhong kept an eye on the tail.

Sure enough, after a few rounds, it was confirmed the car was following them.

Then, the taxi driver suggested, "Should we call the police? Such malicious tracking would be dealt with by the police."

Gu Yan nodded, just about to respond, when Liu Zhizhong said, "No need to call the police, the issue doesn't seem serious, just drive to the destination. After my schoolmate gets off, if they continue following, I'll think of a way, haha..."

The taxi driver, seeing this, said no more, simply drove according to the destination.

Gu Yan looked at Liu Zhizhong with a doubtful expression, "Brother Zhizhong, why did you..."

Liu Zhizhong smiled slightly and whispered, "This is my judgment on Lu Liang! I guess that car has his men inside, watching our every move! Of course, the main target is you, not me, haha…"

Gu Yan blushed, understanding, and helplessly said in a sweet voice, "That person is really annoying, like sticky tape, impossible to shake off, sigh..."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Love, haha, is like that. But if he bothers you at the hotel, just call security until it's worthy of calling the police!"

"Yes, okay..."

In fact, as soon as Gu Yan entered the hotel room, she wanted to call her sister and have Gu Man ask Zhang Xiaoyang to deal with Lu Liang.

After Gu Yan got off the car, Liu Zhizhong helped her carry the suitcase, personally escorting her to the hotel lobby, watching her check-in, then returned to the taxi.

This process took at least ten minutes, and the taxi driver patiently waited, haha...

When Liu Zhizhong came out, he still found that the Audi hadn't left and was keeping an eye covertly!

Liu Zhizhong chuckled to himself, "What the hell, are you planning to find out where I'm staying too?"
