Su Zhinian stepped on the gas pedal without even putting on his seatbelt. He turned the steering wheel as his car blasted out of the carpark and got onto the highway that led back to the city.
One hour… It’s already 11.10 am… There’s only forty minutes left to the timeframe Brother Kun promised his handler… I have to reach Song Qingchun within the next forty minutes if I want to prevent this tragedy from happening.
As the thought settled in Su Zhinian’s mind, the force on the gas pedal increased. The man was like a ticking time bomb; every cell in his body was tense. He stared at the road in front of him, operating the car as his mind churned.
He had only heard a snippet of the words from this ‘Brother Kun’, especially the second half of his sentence.
In an hour… I guarantee… the news of Song Empire… young miss… News anchor… TW Station… falling from water tower… will be… over the news…
He was probably be saying: In an hour, I guarantee that the news of Song Empire’s young miss, the news anchor from TW Station, accidentally falling from the Water X Tower will be broadcasted all over the news.
Su Zhinian’s brows furrowed deeply. Water X Tower should be the location where this Brother Kun was dragging Song Qingchun. It was the most crucial piece of information, but it was also the one that he could not hear clearly.
If I call the police, Song Qingchun might have died before they even figure out where this place is. Therefore, the best solution is to figure out where this Water X Tower is myself, then inform the firefighters and police to have them set up the safety net and safety cushion. But what exactly is this Water X Tower?
Su Zhinian had a good memory, and he had been born and raised in Beijing. He had been to many places and had a good memory of most of them. After he started ST Empire, the first field that he entered was real estate. Many buildings in Beijing had dealings with ST Empire…
Su Zhinian squeezed his mind to come up with buildings that had Water or Tower in their name, but the only name he could come up with was ‘Beyond the River Leisure Club’. Su Zhinian glanced at the clock in his car—11.20 am—there was less than thirty minutes left.
The sweat started to pour on Su Zhinian’s face. The longer he spent trying to come up with an answer, the more anxious he became; the more anxious he became, the worse his concentration became.
Eventually, he pulled out his phone to call Cheng Qingchong.
Cheng Qingchong was surprised to receive his call. “CEO Su, you’ve not left?”
Su Zhinian did not have the time to deal the pleasant surprise in Cheng Qingchong’s voice. He cut her off and quickly ordered, “Help me search for buildings with the words ‘water’ and ‘tower’ in their names that we have in the city…”
Cheng Qingchong was efficient after years being under his training. In less than thirty seconds, her voice cut through the sound of typing. “Water like lake water? Tower like tall tower?”
“Yes…”
As Su Zhinian finished, he could hear the shuffling sound coming from Cheng Qingchong’s end. After another minute, Cheng Qingchong reported, “CEO Su, there are about 28 buildings with those two words in their names within the city.”
