Trevor retorted, “What about me?! What should I do?! Should I continue to wait for you, wait until you change your mind, or do you give me a definite answer directly, do we want to formally end this relationship or not?!”
Tawana pondered for a moment, calmed down, and said seriously, “Trevor, let’s end it here. To be honest, I don’t love you anymore. I’m sorry.”
On the other end of the phone, Trevor’s tone was unusually calm. He said, “Tawana, you can not love me, but you have to love yourself. The best way to fall in love with a man like that is to keep this love in your heart, then find a man who can tolerate that you have another man in your heart and marry him. Over time, perhaps it can dilute your feelings for him. But if you keep being deeply trapped in it, you will likely delay yourself! Waste your precious youth!”
Tawana was silent for a long time, smiled slightly, “Trevor, thank you. I know you’re doing it for my good, but sometimes people are like this, knowing it’s impossible, yet unwilling to give up completely. Moreover, I still have more than half a lifetime to waste.”
After saying that, without waiting for Trevor’s response, she said, “Let’s break up, Trevor. This is good for both of us. I know you’re a person who cares about face, so I won’t say this to the media. I’ll give you two months. At that time, you can explain it clearly to the media. During these two months, I won’t meet you, nor will I respond to any rumors about the engagement.”
Then, Tawana hung up the phone, sighed with relief, and two tears slid silently from the corners of her eyes.
…
On the first day of the second lunar month, Charlie wade and Claire Wilson took a plane to Eastcliff.
Shortly after his flight took off, in Qixia Temple, Stephen Thompson also prepared to set off.
In order not to leave any records that could be checked, An Chengqi prepared for him a cargo plane flying from Hu City to Melbourne, the largest city in Australia.
This cargo plane belonged to the industries under An Chengqi, but unlike the transportation company of the Po Qing Society, An Chengqi’s transportation company was almost all legal and aboveboard business. The transportation company she actually controlled was already the largest express logistics group in Asia, owning the largest all-cargo aircraft fleet in Asia, and even having its own exclusive cargo airport in the mainland.
Her cargo aircraft fleet had nearly a hundred self-purchased cargo planes, and dozens of leased cargo planes, and had built an air transportation network covering the world.
This company had cargo planes flying to and from Melbourne and Sydney in Australia every day, and all the goods carried were clearly traceable, with a clean background.
Letting Stephen Thompson take this plane to leave the country, An Chengqi had a way to let him avoid all customs and supervision. After arriving in Australia, airport ground staff would directly receive him, disguise him as one of the ground staff, and he could enter the country smoothly. When he completed the task and returned, he only needed to return to the airport in the same identity as a ground staff member. The original ground staff could then normally go to work, and Stephen Thompson could take another flight to leave Australia.
Before leaving, An Chengqi instructed Stephen Thompson, “Thompson, on this trip to Australia, you must ensure that everything proceeds according to plan. As long as you can successfully complete the task, Charlie’s life will transition to the next stage.”
Stephen Thompson immediately said respectfully, “Madam, rest assured, I will not fail the mission!”
An Chengqi said, “Your plane takes off tonight, and the arrival time in Melbourne is noon tomorrow in China time. At that time, Nan Nan’s concert hasn’t started yet. If the Wilson family girl reveals the news to Charlie according to the plan on the morning of the next day, Charlie flying to Melbourne will at least wait until the evening of the third day in China time. The time left for you is sufficient. You must leave Australia before Charlie arrives in Melbourne.”
Stephen Thompson nodded heavily, “Madam, rest assured, after everything is completed, I will wait quietly in Melbourne. Once the young master successfully boards the plane to Melbourne, I will immediately set off to leave.”
“Good.” An Chengqi said, “I’ve arranged a flight to Osaka for you. At that time, I will wait for you at Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto.”
Stephen Thompson asked in surprise, “Madam’s next stop is Japan?”
“Yes.” An Chengqi nodded and said, “You suddenly appear in Australia, luring Charlie south to Australia. When he returns from Australia and finds that the Wilson family girl and her parents have suddenly disappeared, he can easily guess that this is your strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain.”
“At that time, Charlie will also know that the departure of the Wilson family girl and her family of three was promoted by you behind the scenes. He may not doubt your character, but he will definitely guess that behind you, Stephen Thompson, there is another master.”
“With his personality, he will never accept all this muddleheadedly. He will definitely find a way to figure out the ins and outs. So I, Sister Sun, and all other people who have had contact with Charlie and Wilson girl, must leave China before Charlie returns, to avoid complications.”
Speaking of this, she paused slightly and said, “The abbot of Kinkaku-ji is Jing Qing’s disciple. He has already arranged for Kinkaku-ji to close for renovation. We can rest there for a while.”
Although Jing Qing is not old, because of his unparalleled talent and fortune in Buddhism, he has gained widespread recognition and support in the entire East Asian Buddhist community. Many East Asian eminent monks, in order to advance further, have the idea of apprenticing under Jing Qing and learning Buddhism from him. Jing Qing has also accepted a few unnamed disciples according to different people’s Buddhist affinities. The abbot of Kinkaku-ji is one of them.
An Chengqi knew that Charlie wade had deep feelings for Claire Wilson. Stephen Thompson taking Claire Wilson away behind his back, he would definitely do everything to find her, so she simply left China first to avoid being caught by Charlie wade, and Kinkaku-ji was a good place.
