Chapter 141: Heading out for a mountain climb and a date, whose date has eight light bulbs following
"Filming is finished, and it'll probably be released after the New Year," Jiang Yue replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng looked at Jiang Yue with a joyful expression, thinking that her sister had finally overcome her hardships and that she would gain a lot of fans when the TV show aired next year.
"By the way, Chengcheng, are you free tomorrow? How about we get our nails done together? I recently saw a really pretty design." Jiang Yue said, handing a picture from her phone to Jiang Chengcheng.
"Huh? Tomorrow? No way, I have plans with someone else." Jiang Chengcheng met her sister's bright eyes, scratched her head, and reluctantly refused.
Although she also wanted to get her nails done, Sirius was more important!
"With whom? You just got back during the New Year, how come you have another appointment?" Cheng Juan peeled a tangerine in her hand and glanced at Jiang Chengcheng when she heard this.
"I made plans to go hiking with my friends," Jiang Chengcheng replied, sitting down on the sofa.
"Going hiking in this freezing weather? You guys are really something! -_-||" Cheng Juan looked at her daughter with disbelief.
Logically speaking, Jiang Chengcheng's friends in W City should all be locals. Who would go hiking in winter, especially so close to the Chinese New Year?
"Haha, I already made an appointment with them! Well, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep now!" Jiang Chengcheng quickly laughed and fled to her bedroom when she saw her mother's questioning look.
Outside.
"I always feel like something's off with Chengcheng, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Could she really be in a relationship?" Cheng Juan looked at her husband Jiang Hai with a worried expression.
"Really? Chengcheng doesn't have many male friends, does she? Yueyue, did you see any particular men around her in Beijing?" Jiang Hai said this, but he was still not entirely sure.
"No." Jiang Yue didn't pay much attention to whether Jiang Chengcheng was in a relationship at a young age.
After all, she had been secretly dating her childhood sweetheart (?°3°?) without her parents' knowledge. They'd been dating since middle school, and only her younger sister knew about it; her parents found out later and were unaware that they were dating in their youth. π_π
……
A piercing cell phone ring at five in the morning woke Jiang Chengcheng from her sleep. Looking at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, Jiang Chengcheng yawned, rubbed her eyes, and got out of bed.
After turning on the lights and changing her clothes, Jiang Chengcheng dawdled over to the vanity, where her long-forgotten cosmetics were placed.
Since undergoing the system's transformation, Jiang Chengcheng has hardly ever worn makeup, but the thought of meeting Sirius today still makes her uncontrollably worried about having dark circles and wrinkles on her face.
Although it was highly unlikely, it still couldn't stop Jiang Chengcheng from wanting something more refined.
Jiang Chengcheng and Sirius arranged to meet at the Westin Hotel at 6:30 a.m.
After all, if it's too late, more people will see them. Although Jiang Chengcheng isn't a big star in China, she still has some fame because she's an Olympic champion.
The transportation to Guyang Mountain was arranged by the Chinese government, and Jiang Chengcheng and Sirius rode in the same vehicle.
Not far outside the car.
"Old Xie, go arrange a few more cars, otherwise we won't be able to keep up." Xiao Shan, who had long been forgotten by Jiang Chengcheng, walked up to his good brother Xie Yunnan and said.
"What? Arrange another one? What are you guys doing here too?" Xie Yunnan was a little surprised to see his good friend Xiao Shan suddenly appear in front of him. Shouldn't Xiao Shan be protecting someone else right now?
Although he wasn't quite sure who it was, anyone who could get them to protect them around the clock must be a very important figure in China.
"You're asking me again! I'd like to ask you too! It's the one you were supposed to protect who kidnapped our Miss Jiang! I don't know how they met! But they should be friends." Xiao Shan was furious when he mentioned this, and then he revealed his guess. But he never dreamed that the two were not friends at all!
"? Was that girl you were protecting?" Xie Yunnan looked completely bewildered when he heard Xiao Shan's words.
This is too coincidental, right?
Could it be that the eldest son from country E insisted on coming to W city just to see his friend Jiang Chengcheng?
"What else?" Xiao Shan greeted the sniper hiding in the shadows, and the guards quickly gathered together.
"Alright, the car I called will be here soon. We'll scout ahead first. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on that girl for you," Xie Yunnan said, scratching the back of his head.
"Okay." Xiao Shan didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, given Miss Jiang's busy work schedule, she often managed to escape their sight. With Xie Yunnan helping to keep an eye on things, it wouldn't matter if they arrived a little late.
……
inside the car.
Jiang Chengcheng clenched her hands nervously, not daring to look at Sirius beside her.
This should be considered their first date, right?
Although there were at least a hundred or so light bulbs following them!
The third wheels: ...So this is why you were planning to get rid of us!
Guyang Mountain is quite far from the city center, requiring a journey of dozens of kilometers on the highway. The large number of domestically branded cars on the wide highway formed a beautiful sight.
To prevent any accidents from happening to Sirius, even though the Chinese government agreed to let him travel alone, they still sent armed forces to protect him.
A row of black armored commercial vehicles were firmly protected by armed vehicles in the middle. Passing vehicles, seeing this scene, were amazed and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
A white Mercedes slowed down and, seeing this scene from afar, the man in the passenger seat slowly rolled down the window.
"Holy crap, are they detaining prisoners? Why are there so many armored vehicles?" the man exclaimed, looking at the row of black cars.
"What are you thinking? If this were a prisoner being escorted, it would probably be someone like Jack the Ripper! But given the current state of affairs in China, how could such a vicious criminal possibly emerge?" the driver said, glancing at the man in the passenger seat.
"What's going on here? I don't think I've ever seen any of these cars before," the man said, curious.
"You'd be lucky to have seen it! These cars are all domestically produced, officially supplied. Ordinary people can't even see them, let alone buy them! See that black glass? It's said to be able to withstand multiple shots from the best sniper rifle in the world! The people sitting inside are either foreign heads of state or Chinese officials!" The white car driver gave the man in the passenger seat a thumbs up.
"Wow! Does that mean we've run into a big shot?" The man became even more excited upon hearing this.
"It's pretty much a done deal. Judging from the way it's done and the regulations, it seems more like they're protecting foreign guests." The driver himself is a political enthusiast and has been paying close attention to this matter.
"Hey! Slow down, I want to take a picture and post it on my WeChat Moments after we pass them!" the man said quickly upon seeing this rare sight.
"Are you out of your mind? You can't just take pictures of this like that! Be careful you don't get arrested and go to jail!" The driver quickly warned the man as he saw him taking pictures of the convoy with his phone.
"Oh, it's okay! I was just taking a picture of the car, not the people inside! Don't be so timid!" The man didn't take the driver's words of advice seriously. He was just posting on his WeChat Moments, not some foreign spy!
