Chapter 661: I can pick locks

"Director Shi hasn’t finished yet?"

Jiang Chen, having paced around for the whole afternoon and seeing the sunset approach, couldn’t help but ask.

"I’ll make a phone call and ask."

With that said, Gao Zhengbi took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"What?"

"Okay, I got it."

"What happened?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Gao Zhengbi put down the phone, his expression not looking too good, "Director Shi has been detained by the Korean investigative authority."

Jiang Chen frowned.

Jinhai is a foreign enterprise, and for economic considerations, any country would be very cautious when dealing with foreign enterprises.

"What exactly does this detention mean?"

"According to Korean law, Director Shi might need to stay with the Korean investigative authority for forty-eight hours."

"Can we see her?"

Gao Zhengbi shook his head, "I’m afraid not."

Jiang Chen fell silent.

Even though it had been only one day, through the communication with Shi Qianxi in the morning and the moves by the Korean investigative authority, the nature of this incident might be more serious than imagined—certainly more serious than what Shi Qianxi had expected.

"Let’s head back to the hotel."

In such a situation, they naturally lacked the mood to continue sightseeing.

In the car, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone and made a call to China.

The person on the other end was none other than the founder of Jinhai, the legendary businessman Shi Zhenhua.

"Uncle Shi, Qian Qian has been detained by the Korean investigative authority."

"I already know."

Shi Zhenhua’s voice on the other end was quite steady.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already sent Ouyang Cheng to Korea. He has always been in charge of the business there; he should be able to handle it properly."

"When will he arrive?"

"Around eight o’clock."

"Good, I’ll go pick him up."

"Hmm."

"Then, Uncle Shi, I’ll hang up now."

Jiang Chen hung up the phone.

A true leader is a true leader.

Unflinching even if Mount Tai collapses before him.

His daughter detained, yet without a ripple of emotion showing.

After a quick dinner, Gao Zhengbi and Jiang Chen drove to the airport.

They waited for almost an hour before they finally saw Ouyang Cheng appear.

Jiang Chen naturally didn’t recognize this meritorious elder who had expanded the boundaries for Jinhai, but he was Gao Zhengbi’s former superior.

"Director Ouyang!"

Gao Zhengbi greeted him excitedly.

Ouyang Cheng, who traveled light with only two attendants, gave a calm nod to Gao Zhengbi and then turned his gaze toward Jiang Chen.

"Director Ouyang, hello, I’m Jiang Chen."

In the car a moment ago, Jiang Chen had already heard about his important deeds from Gao Zhengbi.

So-called bearing reflects the mind.

From the looks of this first member of the Jinhai board of directors, he was indeed a shrewd and capable person with a formidable presence.

"Jiang Chen, is it? I’ve always heard Director Shi mention you, indeed a talented individual."

Jiang Chen kept a poker face and smiled slightly, "You flatter me, Director Ouyang."

"Let’s go."

Without much small talk, this core member of Jinhai, a genuine doer, quickly mentioned a destination after getting in the car.

"To Longhua Temple."

Jiang Chen, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the rear-view mirror.

"Alright."

Gao Zhengbi didn’t ask further, immediately starting the car.

Longhua Temple.

Located near Incheon University.

"Wait for me in the car."

Ouyang Cheng got out of the car alone.

Jiang Chen and Gao Zhengbi sat quietly in the car, and about half an hour later, Ouyang Cheng came back out.

"Director Ouyang, where to next?" Ouyang Cheng got into the car, and Gao Zhengbi asked.

"To Incheon investigative authority."

Ouyang Cheng said calmly.

Gao Zhengbi’s spirits lifted, and he immediately turned the car around.

Ouyang Cheng’s trip to Longhua Temple was certainly not for worship.

At the very least, Buddha and the immortals probably didn’t have the power to reverse heaven and earth; and even if they did, it was unlikely that they would have shown such a quick miracle.

Who Ouyang Cheng had met at Longhua Temple was unknown, but by the time Jiang Chen and the others arrived at the investigative authority, Shi Qianxi was safely released from detention.

"Uncle Ouyang."

"Did they give you a hard time?"

When facing Shi Qianxi, Ouyang Cheng’s stern and imposing face unconsciously revealed a trace of tenderness.

"No."

Shi Qianxi shook her head with a smile.

"Let’s talk in the car."

They all got into the car.

"Uncle Ouyang, did my dad send you?"

Jiang Chen was still seated in the passenger seat, Gao Zhengbi was driving, and Shi Qianxi and Ouyang Cheng sat in the back.

"Hmm, your dad originally wanted to come personally, but he has just recovered a bit and is not suited for long-distance travel."

"Uncle Ouyang, who did you seek help from? They seemed so determined, I thought I really had to stay there for two days."

"Jiang ZhaoHui."

Ouyang Cheng uttered a name.

"The mayor of Incheon?"

Gao Zhengbi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"When I first met him, he was just a national assembly member."

Ouyang Cheng stated unhurriedly.

Jiang Chen didn’t interject.

Wealth and power are like identical twins, intertwined and inseparable.

It’s the same in every country.

To do business in a country, how can one avoid dealing well with local politicians?

Considering Ouyang Cheng has always been in charge of Jinhai’s operations in Korea and knew some Korean officials, it was not surprising.

"Uncle Ouyang, thank you for the trouble, and for making the trip personally."

Shi Qianxi said with a sense of guilt.

"Just because you call me ’uncle’, this trip was a must for me," Ouyang Cheng smiled and continued, "But Qian Qian, I think it’s best if you return to the country first, I’ll take care of the rest. For safety’s sake, you should head back."

"Why?"

Shi Qianxi’s brow furrowed, her face showing confusion.

Ouyang Cheng’s smile faded, "I just talked with Jiang ZhaoHui, and while he didn’t reveal much, this incident might not be as simple as it looks on the surface. His willingness to help this time is also because he once owed a favor to Jinhai. Just to be safe, it’s better for you to return to the country."
