Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Song Baiyan Appears at the Bus Station

Tang Li thought of another matter.

Yesterday, the Lai Family People were at the police station from day to night; given Lai Wenyan’s status and position, even if he was asked to go to the police station, he should have been able to leave quickly, not linger until late at night.

Now that she thought about it, it must have been related to Ji Ming.

Ji Ming was the favorite of the New President, and even though Lai Wenyan seemed to have a higher position, the person who was truly close to the center of power was Ji Ming.

Because of Ji Ming’s care for her, those working under him also gave her preferential treatment.

Ji Ming’s voice continued to come from up front: “The Sir also asked about it; now, besides official business, Miss Tang’s affairs have also been prioritized by the Sir.”

That sentence sounded like teasing, yet also reflected sentiment.

Hearing this, Tang Li involuntarily clutched the pillow in her arms tighter.

The next day, Tang Li first went to meet Feng Qi at IMG, then in the afternoon was accompanied by Yuan Qin to the bus station.

As the holiday was approaching, a long queue had formed outside the waiting hall.

After passing through the security check, Tang Li found a seat near the ticket check and sat down, then sent a farewell text message to Song Baiyan: “During the time I’m not here, you must think of me. [Goodbye]”

A few seconds later, Song Baiyan replied: “Haven’t boarded yet?”

Tang Li had not expected Song Baiyan to respond so quickly; she thought he was busy, and that when she sent the text message, he might not notice it until evening or night.

Not wanting to take up too much of his time, Tang Li quickly typed: “Ticket check is in half an hour.”

After sending it, she thought for a moment and added another message: “If you’re busy with work, no need to reply.”

After sending the two messages, her cellphone did not vibrate again.

Tang Li felt satisfied and told Yuan Qin to watch the luggage, while she went to the vending machine to buy bottled water. Just as she walked away, less than a minute later, Yuan Qin’s cellphone rang.

Seeing the incoming call, he immediately answered.

Tang Li came back with two bottles of water and just sat down when her cellphone buzzed lightly in her pocket.

It was a text message from Song Baiyan: “I’ll have Ji Ming go and see you off.”

“Now?” Tang Li checked the time, 17 minutes until the ticket check, and continued to reply: “It takes more than an hour from Tan Palace to North Station; he definitely won’t make it.”

She sent a third message: “Better not to come.”

Song Baiyan replied: “Ji Ming is already on his way.”

Tang Li recalled what she spoke about last night in his office; him sending Ji Ming over, was it for this reason?

She had said, every time she leaves the Capital, she’s always a solitary figure, so now, he sent Ji Ming to bid her farewell.

“Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?” Tang Li texted to ask.

“Just driving over, no trouble.”

After receiving the message again, Tang Li opened the APP to try and purchase a later bus ticket, only to discover that all tickets for buses to Lishan before six o’clock that evening had sold out.

There were only 10 minutes left until the ticket check.

Tang Li stood up from the bench and informed Yuan Qin beside her: “I’m going to use the restroom.”

Having said that, she hurriedly walked through the crowd and out.

She bypassed the restroom and went to the entrance of the waiting hall.

Standing near the railing of the security channel, Tang Li looked outside. As the ticket check time drew nearer, she bit the corner of her lip, her gaze constantly searching through the crowd outside, trying to spot Ji Ming.

Suddenly, someone bumped into her body.

In fear of obstructing other passengers, Tang Li moved aside.

Her eyes still fixed outside.

“Looking for something?” A familiar voice sounded behind her.

Tang Li thought she was hallucinating, turned around abruptly, and who else could she see but Song Baiyan?
