Jacob Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, “Then thank you, President Pei.”
President Pei quickly said, “Jacob, we’re all on the same side; just give a shout if something comes up, no need to be so polite, it’s too distant.”
Jacob Wilson very much enjoyed this feeling of being valued, laughing, “Alright Old Pei, with our relationship, I won’t stand on ceremony with you; when I get back, I’ll bring you a gift!”
Twenty minutes later, Jacob Wilson and Elaine had both packed their luggage.
Claire Wilson hid in the bedroom she shared with Charlie wade, burrowing under the covers and crying her heart out.
After crying, she wiped away her tears, took pen and paper to leave Charlie wade a letter, and placed it on the bedside table.
Then, she simply packed a few clothes and essentials, washed her face with cold water, and only then came out of the room.
In the living room, Jacob Wilson and Elaine were both using their phones to search for Tahiti travel guides; seeing Claire Wilson come down, Elaine bustled about, saying, “Great daughter, we’ve been waiting for you; let’s hurry and set off, to Tahiti!”
Sun Meng Meng was waiting in the courtyard at this time; seeing the three come out, she hurried forward to take Elaine’s luggage first, saying respectfully, “Uncle and Auntie, you two get in the car first; I’ll handle the luggage.”
Then, to Claire Wilson, she added, “CEO Wilson, you sit in the passenger seat; let Uncle and Auntie take the second row.”
Claire Wilson nodded and said to her parents, “Dad, Mum, you two sit in the back.”
“Alright.” The two agreed readily and got straight into the back row of the business car.
The most comfortable seats in a high-end business car were the two first-class style chairs in the second row; knowing it was a long journey, the two sat down and familiarly adjusted the seats to their own preferences and needs.
Claire Wilson knew her parents would soon be anaesthetised, so she felt a bit worried deep down.
Sun Meng Meng could see her concern and smiled, saying, “CEO Wilson, rest assured, everything is very safe; let Uncle and Auntie get some proper rest.”
“Alright.” Claire Wilson also knew that at this point the arrow was on the string and had to be loosed; no matter what, she could not stay behind and hold Charlie wade back.
So, she helped Sun Meng Meng load the luggage, then directly got into the passenger seat.
Soon, the business car drove out of Tang Chen Yi Pin.
In the back row, Jacob Wilson and Elaine had not noticed anything amiss yet, their minds full of thoughts about the luxury cruise trip to Tahiti that was about to begin.
When the business car pulled out of Tang Chen Yi Pin, several vehicles parked nearby immediately followed, keeping distances of dozens to hundreds of metres; these vehicles and the people inside were all subordinates of An Cheng Xi, and they would escort Claire Wilson and her parents all the way to Dao Cheng.
The convoy soon left the city and entered the highway.
By now, the sky had completely darkened; Sun Meng Meng drove while saying to Jacob Wilson and Elaine, “Uncle and Auntie, won’t you get too bored sitting in the car? How about I raise the middle TV and play a promotional video for our Tahiti cruise route for you two!”
“Sure!” Elaine agreed immediately, smiling, “We’ve been wanting to do some homework on it! Let us learn more first!”
Sun Meng Meng immediately pressed the switch, and the partition between the rear cabin and driving compartment slowly rose, separated by a wide-screen television.
Then, the TV played a Tahiti tourism promotional video; the scenes in the video were breathtakingly beautiful and captivating, drawing Jacob Wilson and Elaine in so completely that they could not look away.
At that moment, the air conditioning vents released a burst of colourless and odourless gas; as the two watched entranced, they only felt increasingly drowsy, their eyelids just starting to droop when they uncontrollably fell into a deep sleep…
