After speaking, Jin Xuyan reached for Jiao Lizhi's wrist and gently but firmly led her to the passenger seat. Without resistance, she sat down, allowing him to buckle her seatbelt.
Once he was done, he turned to Zhang Yuan and ordered, "Zhang Yuan, we are going to the factory area. Lead the way."
Hearing his order, Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Captain."
Jin Xuyan then took the role as driver for Jiao Lizhi and sat in the driver seat. Looking at Pei Yijun, he said, "Young Master Pei, you can follow the armored vehicle and be at ease. I will take care of the rest."
Pei Yijun met his gaze for a moment before glancing at Jiao Lizhi. Without a word, he turned and walked to his jeep. Soon after, he started the engine and followed the fleet.
Sitting beside him, Feng Yun suddenly sighed and said, "A beautiful flower will always have an owner."
Hearing this, Pei Yijun shot him a glare and said coldly, "Shut up."
Sensing his bad mood, Feng Yun exchanged glances with Luo Jing and wisely decided to stay silent. Someone was clearly jealous—it was best not to provoke him.
Behind them, Jiao Lizhi observed the man driving the car and asked, "Brother Yan, what's your plan next?"
Hearing her soft voice, Jin Xuyan's mood brightened and asked her back, "Ah Zhi, do you have any plans?"
She looked at him and recalled the last call in her past life. In the moment before she was torn apart, it had seemed as if someone had jumped from a building, trying to catch her. That person might have been him.
Noticing her distraction, Jin Xuyan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Ah Zhi, what are you thinking about?"
Jiao Lizhi snapped out of her thoughts at his words, shook her head, and said"It's nothing."
"I plan to gather more supplies before heading to Sanchou City," she added.
Jin Xuyan's eyes flickered momentarily when he heard her words before returning to normal. He nodded and said, "If Ah Zhi wants to go, then I will accompany you."
Glancing at his military uniform, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Don't you need to escort Pei Yijun to Jiangning City?"
"Why do you think I have to do that?" he asked in return.
"Well, he said that you and your team were sent by his father to escort him back to Jiangning City," Jiao Lizhi replied.
At his words, Jin Xuyan sneered and said, "He really dares to talk. His father begged me to come and rescue him—I never agreed to send him back to Jiangning City. Besides, his father is just a businessman, he has no right to order me around."
Jiao Lizhi glanced at him and noticed his grip on the steering wheel tighten. It seemed that Jin Xuyan and the Pei family had an unusual relationship.
Jin Xuyan raised an eyebrow when she remained silent and asked, "What? Ah Zhi doesn't believe me?"
