Jing Pengfei had no idea that his whereabouts had already been exposed, let alone think that the person he believed to be a hundred kilometers away was actually merely a few dozen meters from him.
He held his phone and a plane ticket in his hand, occasionally glancing around, with a smile on his face that seemed to anticipate escaping to freedom.
Just the thought of Jiang Ning driving back to Beijing with great effort tonight, only to end up wasting her trip, was enough to make him struggle to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up too much.
As Jing Pengfei was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder from behind.
He turned around instinctively and a youthful, delicate face with fair skin came into view.
Jing Pengfei was slightly startled, "?"
But Jiang Ning just smiled at him, "What, you don’t recognize me?"
It would have been better if she hadn’t spoken, but once she did, her familiar voice instantly entered Jing Pengfei’s ears.
And finally, Jing Pengfei also came to his senses.
It was actually Jiang Ning!
His eyes widened as he pointed at Jiang Ning, his facial expression so shocked that he was almost unable to speak.
It wasn’t surprising that he hadn’t recognized Jiang Ning at first glance.
Although Jiang Ning never used filters during her live broadcasts and there wasn’t much difference between her online and offline appearance.
But it’s still a different kind of unfamiliarity when someone you frequently see on a phone screen suddenly appears right in front of you in real life.
Not to mention that her appearance was so sudden that it caught Jing Pengfei completely off guard.
Jiang Ning enjoyed the shocked expression on Jing Pengfei’s face and spoke with a smile, "Isn’t this a coincidence? I didn’t expect to bump into you right after getting off the plane."
She looked Jing Pengfei up and down again, "Where is the Lanling rich young man heading?"
Her gaze fell on the plane ticket in his hand, "Oh? Planning to go abroad?"
Jiang Ning concluded, "Bravado on the live stream and then secretly fleeing the country, is this your capability?"
Qi Xingzhou stood between the two, holding his phone up, the camera focusing directly on Jiang Ning’s fair hand resting on Jing Pengfei’s shoulder.
[I can’t believe it!!! Is this really such a coincidence?!]
[No way!!! Did they just catch the Lanling rich young man ?!!!]
[Damn, this is too coincidental, so much that I’m starting to doubt if Jiang Ning’s script...]
[How did Jiang Ning recognize this guy? How is she so sure he’s the Lanling rich young man? Could she have mistaken someone else?]
In this short span of time, the number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded five hundred thousand.
No one had expected to witness the climax they had been concerned about for two or three hours as soon as they tuned in, and the fervent discussions exploded instantly.
They both anticipated Jiang Ning quickly exposing the Lanling rich young man and were curious about the real identity of the Lanling rich young man.
The flood of comments on the screen was dazzling.
Finally, Jing Pengfei’s reasoning returned to him, and he realized, "Who are you? What are you talking about?"
He suppressed the shock on his face and played dumb with a denial, "You must have mistaken me for someone else. I don’t know you at all."
With that, Jing Pengfei tried to sidestep Jiang Ning and shake off the hand resting on his shoulder, "The flight I’m catching is about to take off, I’m short on time! I won’t stoop to your level!"
