From Sidekick to Bigshot

Wherever the old woman was now, the video call between her and the car that Jian Yiling was in right now was being made over the Internet.

Both the old woman’s image and Jian Yiling’s image were being transmitted over the Internet.

If the call was long enough, one of Jian Yiling’s contacts would be able to detect it.

As expected, the video was detected by one of Jian Yiling’s contacts.

Almost at the same time, one of Master Liang’s top computer experts and Huo Yu both detected the video call.

Master Liang was then informed about Jian Yiling’s situation.

After seeing the old woman on the screen, Master Liang’s brows furrowed.

“Ahh, this is a big problem. This witch isn’t easy to deal with. She has the power from an international organization behind her…”

This was someone who could give Master Liang a headache.

This meant that it was incredibly dangerous that Jian Yiling had fallen into the hands of this old woman.

Then, Master Liang hurriedly said to his men: “Do not let her take Yiling on the plane!”

Once they left the country, it would be incredibly difficult to bring Jian Yiling back again!

“Check all the flights today. Also, check the approved private routes. Check the large airlines, small airlines, and even helicopters! Make sure to check everything that can fly!”

If only they could suspend all the flights for today.

That would buy them more than enough time.

However, Master Liang could not control the departure times of the major airlines.

The vehicle that was carrying Jian Yiling drove on for another while. Then, in a corner without surveillance, they transferred Jian Yiling to another car.

The car then continued on its way to the Hengyuan International Airport.

The old woman was planning on taking Jian Yiling out of Hengyuan City. This was just as Zhai Yunsheng had predicted.

However, when they arrived at the airport, they were shocked to find out that the private flight that they had applied for had been restricted due to air traffic control. They had to wait for further information before they could take off.

All the flights on airport arrival and departure screens were red.

Almost all the international flights were delayed.

Delays were a common occurrence. Usually, there were often significant delays due to the weather and air traffic conditions.

However, today’s delay was rather unfortunate. It seriously affected the old woman’s plans.

After asking the airport, the airport was unable to give a new departure time to the old woman.

And thus, the old woman had no choice but to order her subordinates to take Jian Yiling to an unused factory that was next to the airport. The few of them were to wait there.

The car drove to the unused factory.

In their waiting time, the old woman called Jian Yiling again.

“Dr. F.S, please take this time to consider my offer. I hope that by the time I see you in person, your decision and attitude will have changed.”

The middle-aged man in the car also tried to persuade Jian Yiling: “Miss Yiling, you clearly behaved intelligently at your school just now. Why are you making such a stupid decision now then? Cooperate with our boss! It will do you no harm!”

The middle-aged man had just finished talking to Jian Yiling when he saw people come out of the unused factory. The people appeared to look strong and well-trained.

They appeared out of nowhere. It was as though they had magically popped out of the corners of the factory.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man and his subordinates were shocked.

“What’s going on? We decided to move here a few minutes ago! How can there be so many people in ambush?!”
