Chapter 578: Chapter 575 Escape (1)

"Ling," Tang Shiyun affectionately wrapped her arms around Ling Chen’s arm and asked, "When did you come to Beijing?"

"I arrived yesterday." As he spoke, Ling Chen looked around, watching the patrolling police to avoid revealing his identity.

However, he overlooked one thing.

Being with a highly sought-after celebrity, it’s difficult not to attract attention. Seeing more and more people focusing on him, Ling Chen quickly said, "Are you taking a private jet or a commercial flight back to East Sea City?"

"The company arranged a private jet, why?"

"Let’s go, I’ll go back with you."

"Really?" Tang Shiyun said excitedly, "That’s great."

"Hurry up." Ling Chen, fearing his cover might be blown, urged Tang Shiyun to leave quickly.

Having a major star by his side made everything convenient; they entered through the VIP lounge and then were driven directly to the boarding gate.

After boarding the plane, Ling Chen put down his backpack and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he ran into Tang Shiyun today; otherwise, it might have taken several more hours to reach Changling City.

"Ling, what were you doing in Beijing?" Tang Shiyun asked curiously. "I haven’t seen you for a while, and you weren’t in East Sea City either."

"I’ve been busy elsewhere," Ling Chen answered casually.

After chatting for over ten minutes, Ling Chen looked out the window and asked, "Why haven’t we taken off yet?"

"I don’t know, it was supposed to depart at eight o’clock, and it’s already past time," Tang Shiyun was also puzzled.

Zhu Yansong stood up and said, "I’ll go ask the pilot."

In a little while, Zhu Yansong returned to the cabin and said, "Mr. Ling, Tang, the flight is going to be delayed by half an hour."

"Delayed?" Ling Chen’s heart sank, immediately having a bad feeling. He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhu, what’s the matter?"

"Just now, the control tower relayed a message, all planes leaving Beijing are to be inspected, apparently to catch a fugitive. Ah! What a waste of time, how could there possibly be a fugitive on our plane?"

Just as he thought!

Ling Chen’s heart thudded, it seemed that guy wouldn’t rest until he caught him.

What could he do now?

Thinking for a moment, Ling Chen stood up from his seat and said to Tang Shiyun and Zhu Yansong, "Girl, Mr. Zhu, let’s talk inside."

There was a separate bedroom in the back of the airplane, and once inside, Tang Shiyun asked, "Ling, what’s going on; what’s so important that we had to come here to talk?"

Ling Chen confessed, "I won’t hide it from you, the fugitive they’re looking for is me."

"You?"

Hearing this, Tang Shiyun and Zhu Yansong were taken aback.

"Ling, what... what’s going on?" Tang Shiyun looked at Ling Chen, her face filled with disbelief. "How did you become a fugitive?"

Ling Chen gave a wry smile and said, "It’s a long story, I was trying to save someone. Anyway, I can’t be found by those people, I hope you can help me."

"Ling, don’t worry, I won’t let those people take you away."

"Mr. Zhu, what about you?" Ling Chen asked.

He knew Tang Shiyun would stand by him, but he was unsure about Zhu Yansong.

Zhu Yansong hesitated for a moment then spoke, "There are only friends on this airplane, no fugitives."

Ling Chen’s lips slightly curled into a smile as he sighed in relief and nodded, "Thank you!"

If Zhu Yansong had refused to cover for him, he would’ve had to flee and find another way out of Beijing.

Not long after, several men in suits appeared at the boarding gate.

Upon entering the cabin, Zhu Yansong immediately stood up to greet them, smiling as he asked, "Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"

One man in a suit held out a cellphone, swung a photo in front of Zhu Yansong, and asked, "Have you seen this person?"

Zhu Yansong scrutinized the photo carefully and then shook his head, saying, "Sorry, I don’t recognize this person."

The man in the suit looked at Zhu Yansong with a mixture of suspicion and disbelief, saying, "Since you don’t recognize this person, surely you wouldn’t mind us checking around, right?"

"Of course not, it’s just..." Zhu Yansong appeared somewhat troubled.

"Just what?" the man in the suit frowned slightly.

"Gentlemen, I mean no offense, but this plane is Miss Tang’s private jet. She is resting in her room, and I hope you will not disturb her."

"Miss Tang? Which Miss Tang?"

"Could it be Tang Shiyun?" Another man in a suit took over, his face showing unhideable excitement.

"Exactly, Miss Tang."

"Enough talk, hurry up and search," the leading man in the suit impatiently waved his hand, gesturing for his subordinates to check the cockpit and the bathroom.

"That... sir..."

The man who was interested in Tang Shiyun patted Zhu Yansong on the shoulder and asked with a flattering smile, "Could you get me an autographed photo of Miss Tang? My daughter is a loyal fan of hers; I hope you can do me this favor."

"Of course, no problem," Zhu Yansong smiled and said, "Please follow me."

Instantly, the two men approached the bedroom and gently knocked on the door. After getting a response from Tang Shiyun, Zhu Yansong pushed the door open and went in.

Before the man in the suit could enter, Tang Shiyun appeared at the doorway, blocking him outside.

"Mr. Zhu, who is this gentleman?"

"His daughter is your loyal fan, and he wants an autographed photo from you."

The man in the suit earnestly said, "Miss Tang, I am often busy and rarely at home with my daughter. Next month is her birthday, so I’d like to prepare a special gift for her. Please help me out."

Hearing this, Tang Shiyun smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

After speaking, Tang Shiyun returned to her room, rummaged through her luggage for a photo, then came back and signed her name in front of the man, adding a few words of blessings.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes, yes," the man in the suit nodded excitedly, full of gratitude. "Thank you, Miss Tang."

"You’re welcome! If there’s nothing else, I’m going to rest now."

"Alright, then I won’t disturb Miss Tang any further."

With that, the man in the suit turned and left the doorway.

The leader saw that the man in the suit had returned and immediately asked, "Has that room been checked?"

"It’s been checked, only Miss Tang is there, no one else."

"Boss, all clear, no fugitive found."

"Then we should go."

"Gentlemen, take care, I won’t see you out."

After seeing off the men in suits from the plane, Zhu Yansong finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the outside of the bedroom, knocking on the door.

"Mr. Ling, Tang, those people have left."

Just after he spoke, Ling Chen came out from behind the door. He had been hiding there this whole time, and thanks to Tang Shiyun blocking that person at the doorway, his presence went unnoticed.
