The Investors

Chapter 48: Pretend Like You Don't Know

After Wei Heng's departure, Cia Yonggan instantly cleaned the makeup on her face. He washed his face in the bathroom. As he stared at the mirror inside the bathroom, just thought of him how could he make a very fast movement to catch Wei Heng's ankle and then lift it with just one hand without feeling sore?

Normally, even a strong person would need two hands to lift Wei Heng's body upside down. Moreover, Wei Heng's legs and hands that were constantly struggling to escape, certainly needed more energy for someone to hold him back.

He raised both his hands in front of his face and formed a fist. There seemed to be something strange about the strength of these two hands. Was this another miracle after the dragon and the dragon mustika were melted into his body?

Not wanting to believe it so easily, he swung his fist at the mirror in front.

"Prank..!!"

The mirror broke into pieces. His fragments were scattered over the surface of the sink where he washed his face earlier.

"Wooow..!!" he was amazed.

It was not the mirror fragment that amazed him, but the effect on him after he destroyed the mirror. His hands felt no pain at all, even though his knuckles were stuck in pieces of glass and slightly bleeding.

He finally believed. Now he has amazing strength that will be difficult to face by others, even by Mo Kat who is martial arts. He became even more excited about chasing after Mo Kat and finishing off that person.

Yes, Mo Kat, the one who once defeated him in a duel. Although it was said to be a duel, but it was a duel that could be called unfair. At that time both hands were still in pain from being beaten with blunt weapons by Wei Chung's subordinates when he was about to catch him. Not to mention that he hung all day, of course, causing his joints to become increasingly lacking in energy. Now was the time to demand vengeance against Mo Kat.

Even now it felt like he was waiting for Wei Chung's return to this house, so that he could punish the man. But after knowing Gao Mei Gui would be taken people to Taiwan, she preferred to ignore her dealings with Wei Chung first. There is a much more important affair, which is following Gao Mei Gui.

It is not known whether Mo Kat has left to take the girl to Taiwan or not. If not, it is likely that Gao Mei Gui is still in the capital of Fujian Province, Fuzhou City. But if Mo Kat had already crossed the Taiwan Strait, it would be more difficult for him to trace the Gao Mei Gui trail in Taiwan there.

Please note, Nanping City is a prefecture-level region under the authority of the Fujian Province government. From here to Fuzhou City takes a maximum of three hours when using a car. Meanwhile, if you use a speedboat through the Minjiang River, it can take four hours, because there are many river turns.

To go to Taiwan, besides being able to be reached by plane, sea lanes are the most possible alternative. Fuzhou City is very close to Taiwan's capital, Taipei. Only need to cross the Taiwan Strait. It can also be reached by using private sea transportation such as speedboats.

Also, the relationship between China and Taiwan is complicated and unique. According to China, Taiwan is part of its province. Instead Taiwan claims to be a sovereign state independent of China. China does not impose passport obligations for Taiwanese who want to come to China and replace it with a Taiwanese entry permit issued by the Chinese government. The Taiwanese government also applies the same to Chinese citizens who want to come to Taiwan.

This means that Cia Yonggan does not need to take care of passports first, if you want to follow Gao Mei Gui to Taiwan. He only needs to take care of the completeness of the administrative file such as a self-identification card.

So he immediately searched Wei Heng's room. He found his wallet and important papers scattered in the drawer of the room table with the keys of Gao Mei Gui's car. He could not find his cell phone in this room.

Wei Heng had confiscated Cia Yonggan's wallet, car keys and cell phone. Where the phone itself had been slammed to the ground by Wei Heng after making strange noises to Gao Mei Gui over the phone so that the girl thought that Cia Yonggan was playing crazy with women others then forget his desire to continue the relationship with Cia Yonggan.

Almost the entire room, including the closet, was dismantled by Cia Yonggan, but the phone was not found. Only Wei Heng's cell phone was left on the table, as Wei Heng could not think of anything else while running away from his house. Of course Wei Heng's phone would be of no use to Cia Yonggan, anyway to access it required Wei Heng's fingerprint, not his. Then he ignored Wei Heng's phone.

In China, one mobile phone and a mobile number means everything. People no longer use cash, buying and selling transactions are done in cash. Everything is done by simply accessing a privately owned mobile phone and scanning the barcodes available at every shopping place. Each transaction will automatically deduct the balance in the bank account of the mobile phone owner. Alipay payment app and conversation app WeChat are two of the leading developers in financial transactions in China.

Without his phone, it could be said that Cia Yonggan is the poorest person in China today. Somehow he will fill the stomach when hungry later. Somehow he would refuel if Gao Mei Gui's car ran out of fuel on the way to Fuzhou City.

"Yes...." Cia Yonggan could only complain.

Even so, Cia Yonggan did not want to waste any more time. The sooner he left, the more shortened he was to Gao Mei Gui. He immediately left Wei Chung's house and drove Gao Mei Gui's car to Fuzhou City, no matter which fuel tank indicator needle the car showed only a quarter of the tank was filled with fuel.

The connecting road between Nanping City and Fuzhou City has many tunnels that cut through the hills. The expertise of the Chinese state in building infrastructure cannot be denied, even the world recognizes it.

Twenty-four years old, Cia Yonggan never traveled to Fuzhou City. Nanping City was the furthest place he visited when counted from his hometown. But he did not worry, because the Minjiang River empties into Fuzhou City. He only needed to walk down the road along this river. Even though he knew this car would never get there due to insufficient fuel stock. When he needs to run he will travel to get to Fuzhou City.

Sure enough, only half the way, the car began to show symptoms of going on strike. The fuel tank indicator line is at the bottom. He immediately pulled over, otherwise the cars speeding behind him could have hit him.

After turning off the car engine, unplugging the key and locking the car door, without wasting any more time he started running. Yes, Cia Yonggan was galloping along the roadside. Even the speed reaches 25 kilometers per hour. That running speed is above the average running speed of an adult human.

Usain Bolt, a Jamaican runner known as the world record holder ran the fastest, 43 kilometers per hour. But the record holder ran just minutes ahead of the final line.

Cia Yonggan is not. He was able to run nonstop at that speed, without stopping and without feeling tired. Even after running for an hour, he still did not show any signs of fatigue. It was just that sweat was seen drenching all over his body and he started to feel thirsty because it had expended a lot of energy and sweat from within his body.

He himself was aware of the power he had now and was no longer astonished. This must have been the result of a magical event last night. He just needs to feel grateful to the creator for having been chosen to be the person who is believed to have this miraculous power. I don't know what strength he has. Let time answer.

But it is different from the driver who just preceded the run of Cia Yonggan. The driver was shocked when he glanced at the rearview mirror looking at the person behind, running on the side of the road.

He immediately pulled over the luxury SUV about a hundred meters ahead and opened the car door. Then the feet were seen treading on the ground. Now look a tall and slender girl. She wore casual clothes with a white shirt and jeans on her knees, revealing her beautiful body shape and long legs.

"Yonggan!!" opening his black glasses, he shouted to the young man who was running towards him.

The girl looked happy as soon as she saw Cia Yonggan.

Cia Yonggan was straight ahead, instantly able to figure out who the person was.

With a happy smile he replied. "Bigg!!"

Who else would he be if not Xiao Meilin.

"How did you get here?" Xiao Meilin asked in surprise.

Didn't he leave Cia Yonggan this morning near Wei Chung's residence, in Jinshan, Nanping City to find his girlfriend, how could he now be here running?

Cia Yonggan shrugged both of his shoulders and replied. "As you can see, Cici. I'm running."

Xiao Meilin scrunched her forehead. With this expression, the girl looked adorable to anyone who was looking at her.

Cia Yonggan knew for sure, Xiao Meilin was about to give her a ride, as the girl was about to return home to her parents' residence in Fuzhou City, to gather with her family for a while on holiday this weekend. He entrusted his work in Nanping City to his assistant for a while.

Cia Yonggan who wanted to quickly get to Fuzhou City immediately moved to open the passenger door and allowed Xiao Meilin to sit on the passenger bench which was responded to by a strange gaze by Xiao Meilin.

"Cici, let's go in. I'll explain it on the way, '" said Cia Yonggan.

The girl did not argue. A little bit he already understood the character of Cia Yonggan. It did look disrespectful, because he had not offered the young man a ride at all, but he was already so confident he would be given a ride.

Indeed, he already knew the intelligence of Cia Yonggan reading people's minds, expressed or not at all it makes no difference.

"Cici, why are you always present when I'm having a hard time?" Cia Yonggan had a good time as he sat behind the wheel which was responded with a sweet smile by Xiao Meilin.

Just a few meters away, Xiao Meilin asked Cia Yonggan. "Yonggan, I can give you some advice, can't I?

"Tell me, Cici. I don't mind" replied Cia Yonggan.

"Look, you do have that cleverness, but it's not supposed that your actions precede what others will say," the girl started what she wanted to say.

"I'm sorry, Cici. I don't mean to be disrespectful, it's just that I'm being..." Cia Yonggan became embarrassed at being branded as disrespectful by Xiao Meilin.

"That's not what I mean, Yonggan," Xiao Meilin hurriedly cut in. Then he continued. "I mean, even if you can figure out what people are thinking, you try to be a little patient waiting for your interlocutor to say it. It'll feel weird to other people when you've acted before the other person says what he wants to say."

Cia Yonggan was silent. It is true what the girl said. Perhaps to Xiao Meilin, his actions were not surprising, but they were certainly not the same as others who did not know him yet.

Xiao Meilin gently touched the hand of Cia Yonggan who was holding the gear lever and explained. "Yonggan, you will talk to people a lot in the future. Pretend like you know nothing, even if you know the truth. It's for your own good. If you always guess the contents of other people's hearts so easily, then you no longer need to talk to others, just read the mind. But that will make your conversation with the other person awkward."

"Thank you, Cici. Your advice is very good," Cia Yonggan turned to the side while looking at Xiao Meilin.

"Oh, yeah. You haven't asked me where I'm going and in what order to Fuzhou City," Xiao Meilin fished with a smile.

"yes too. Ahhaha.."

Both laughed amusedly. Cia Yonggan learned to follow Xiao Meilin's advice, so the two engaged in conversation along the way to Fuzhou City.
