The plane landed steadily at the North Island airport at nine oclock in the evening.
As soon as Jane Jiang disembarked, she contacted the person on the other end, who spoke with a local accent, telling her, "Brother Nine has something come up suddenly, so he sent me to pick you up, Miss Jiang. Please exit the airport and wait by the roadside."
Jane checked the time on her phone; it was about right.
When she met the man, he was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in local attire.
"Miss Jiang, its me, Im the one who spoke with you on the phone. My name is Sam."
Jane politely introduced herself: "Im Jane Jiang."
A black SUV was parked by the roadside, emitting a strong smell of gasoline, mixed with an indescribable odor. As soon as Jane got in the car, she felt nauseous.
She felt suffocated and nauseous.
Jane didnt usually get carsick, but the bumpy mountain road caused the car to jolt, and her stomach churned along with it.
The interior of the car was dim, and Sam, focused on driving, didnt notice her discomfort, saying, "Miss Jiang, the road is a bit far. Ill wake you up when we arrive. You must be exhausted from a day of flying, so please rest."
Jane responded with a heavy nasal tone, not daring to speak for fear that she would vomit the acid in her stomach.
She leaned back against the car seat, closed her eyes to rest, and held her backpack tightly, not daring to move.
She didnt know how much time had passed before they finally arrived.
The inn was brightly lit, with few people around.
Sam helped her with her luggage, walking and saying, "Miss Jiang, Brother Nine wants you to stay here for the night, and hell come tomorrow."
Jane nodded, her face pale, her forehead beaded with sweat.
Sam was acquainted with the innkeeper, and after handing Jane over to her, he was about to leave.
The innkeeper warmly welcomed Jane to her room, and Jane didnt need to show her ID or pay for the room; everything was arranged.
The room Jane stayed in was near the corridor, with a good view. Opening the window, she could see the distant lake view, but she was in no mood to appreciate it. As soon as the innkeeper left, she rushed into the bathroom, having endured it all night, and vomited stomach acid.
After cleaning up, she called her cousin Cindy Shen to report that she was safe.
Cindy asked on the phone, "Was it Luke Lu who picked you up?"
Jane replied, "No, a friend of his came to pick me up."
"Why didnt he pick you up? Where is he? How can he just leave a girl alone in a strange place like this?" Cindy clearly couldnt accept it. "Its not right. I shouldnt have let you go to him alone."
Jane didnt mind: "Its okay, dont be angry, Im already here."
"Your voice sounds weak. Is it the change in water and soil?"
"Im just a bit carsick."
"Right, the environment there isnt good, and the roads are tough. Forget it, well talk about it tomorrow. You rest first, I wont disturb you anymore."
The inns room was reasonably clean. Jane took off her makeup, took a shower, and went to bed.
Not everyone can adapt to a new environment immediately. Jane woke up after a few hours, feeling a bit better, so she got up to freshen up.
After all, he was coming today, and for their first meeting, she wanted to look her best.
The morning sunlight was very dazzling. Jane put on a pair of sunglasses, her face largely covered by the large lenses, revealing only a small lower half of her face, with a delicate nose and red lips. She wore a long red tassel ethnic-style dress that fluttered in the wind.
When she went downstairs, Sam was there, waving at her and calling out, "Miss Jiang, come have breakfast!"
Besides Sam, there was no one else.
Including the person who was supposed to appear.
"Miss Jiang, Brother Nines matters arent finished yet. Hell come over once hes done. He asked me to tell you to wait for him for a few days."
Jane said, "Okay."
