An hour later, Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong had arrived at Boston Airport.
At the moment, both of them had changed their looks and put on new clothes. Hand in hand, they walked into the VIP lounge.
What happened one hour ago showed them what black technology was. The ones following them did not let them go. Instead, someone helped Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia’er off the record. Someone hacked those cars and forced them into auto-driving mode.
As for who helped them from the shadows, that was another mystery.
Ever since Lu Jia’er found out her real ident.i.ty, the patterns of recent events had been shifting from one mystery to another.
She disliked this feeling. However, she was helpless. As if fate was being manipulated from behind a veil she could not see past.
When they heard the calls for boarding. Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia’er stood up together.
But at this moment, Jin Xiangdong’s cell phone began to ring. It was from his secretary.
Jin Xiangdong picked up. Soon, his expressions changed greatly.
Noticing the change, Lu Jia’er hurried to ask. “What is it?”
Jin Xiangdong stood there lifelessly. Over the phone, his secretary kept on asking, “Mr. Jin, are you there?”
“Ace!” Lu Jia’er grabbed his hand and called his name.
Jin Xiangdong came back to his senses. However, a cloud was cast over his face and it was as if he had lost part of his soul.
Lu Jia’er was worried. She grabbed his phone and answered it. As she heard the news from his secretary, her expression changed, just like Jin Xiangdong’s did.
Jason had been in an accident. He was in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment!
During the dozen hours they were on the plane, Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong held each other’s hands. Both of them were hoping that the plane could land as soon as possible.
Deep in their heart, they did not believe that his secretary would inform them just before they boarded the plane with such shocking news from out of the blue!
They did not believe it. They thought this was a joke.
Maybe, when they got off the plane, Jason would appear before them and tell them: I tricked you. Surprise!
However, when the plane landed at the airport in City B, there was no trace of Jason.
Jin Xiangdong contacted his secretary at once. Upon learning the details, they headed to the hospital at once.
On the way, Lu Jia’er contacted Xu Lei and was informed that Su Han had been rescued by MSS. But something unexpected happened in the process. During the rescue, Jason, the vice chief engineer of BUA Technology, came to the site. When Su Han was rescued and they were leaving, the kidnapper detonated the explosives. Jason protected Su Han who was weak himself but he was hurt in the explosion and was in critical condition.
It was a fortunate thing that Su Han was safe. Yet, at the same time, Jason was in fatal danger.
In the hospital, Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia’er met Jason’s mom Professor Li again. It was only two months since their last meeting but Professor Li appeared to have aged overnight.
“Mrs. Li!” Jin Xiangdong hurried to Professor Li.
Seeing that Jin Xiangdong had come, Professor Li burst into tears. “Xiangdong!”
Jin Xiangdong supported her with his arms. “How is Jason doing?”
“Still in critical condition!” Professor Li grabbed Jin Xiangdong’s hands tightly.
The Jin Family and Yan Family had always been close. While Jin Xiangdong grew up abroad, Jason’s parents were involved in his upbringing. He and Jason had been close friends for many years. Jason’s father had just gone through surgery last month and now, this happened to Jason. It all must be weighing heavily on Professor Li.
