She was speaking to Shen Liannuo.
Shen Liannuo shrugged, "What else can we do? I can't let you go to the Hidden Tribe alone. Besides, I sent Song Jun away before the New Year, and just gave my phone to Qi He. Using a special voice changer to chat with them should be fine."
To conceal everything from everyone, Meng Jingwei had Qi He take Shen Liannuo to get their voices 'recorded' and uploaded into a voice changer, specifically to deal with calls from Song Jun and Lu Yanming.
Because Qi He had previously obeyed Qing Muye, after a scolding from Meng Jingwei, Qi He no longer dared to reveal any information about Meng Jingwei to Qing Muye.
Only then did Meng Jingwei trust Qi He and entrust important matters to her.
"Regardless, let's just go with this for now," Meng Jingwei was truly at her wit's end.
If she didn't seek He Kayian's help this time, she truly didn't know how Qing Muye would overcome this difficulty.
"Let's take it one step at a time. It should be fine," Shen Liannuo mused.
Meng Jingwei sighed, not responding.
More than anything, she didn't know what to say.
An hour later, the two arrived at the airport and boarded a private jet.
Since the only flight to Country C was at 3 PM, to save time, the two chartered a private jet and headed directly to Country C.
At the same time, they contacted friends in Country C in advance, asking them to pick them up at the airport and also book a cruise ship.
Everything was done to compress time and rush to the Hidden Tribe as quickly as possible.
Qing Muye, in Lancheng, was overwhelmed by company matters and was worried about how to hide it from Meng Jingwei. Unexpectedly, he received news that she was going for 'closed-door training,' which instead relieved him.
Although the public relations department had been working to suppress the heat, the situation was escalating too quickly. No matter how hard they tried to suppress it, it wouldn't last long before the outside world found out.
At that point, the news would reach Meng Jingwei's ears.
Her sudden 'training' now removed Qing Muye's worries, allowing him to wholeheartedly deal with company matters.
However, while some were happy, others were worried.
At the hospital, Shi Ran, wanting to hide her disfigurement from her parents, pretended to be asleep to avoid breakfast but ended up falling into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
Pregnancy already made her prone to drowsiness, and after a whole night of exhaustion, she was already worn out.
This time, she didn't wake up on her own but was shaken awake.
"Ranran, Ranran, wake up!"
Mother Shi nudged Shi Ran, waking her from her sleep.
Seeing her open her eyes, Mother Shi immediately pointed to her face and asked, "What happened to your face?"
Shi Ran's eyes were still blurry, and her mind wasn't catching up, "My face?"
She asked groggily, and then Shi Ran's mind buzzed. She immediately reached out to touch her cheek, finding that the mask had fallen off at some point. Reaching out, she could feel the scar on her face.
"What happened? Such a good face, who did this to you?" Father Shi asked, furious, but more so with heartache.
Facing her parents' questioning, Shi Ran cursed herself for being careless.
She pushed herself up from the bed, sat up, frowned at her parents, pursed her red lips, and said, "I... I..."
She racked her brain but couldn't come up with any excuse to explain to her parents.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She remembered the news she had seen at the end of last year, about a man in Lancheng who had a mental breakdown, went out on the street with a knife, and randomly attacked people, eventually being shot dead.
Shi Ran could only lie, "Don't you remember the news in Lancheng at the end of last year? The mental patient who injured six people and was shot dead by the police. I... I was the unlucky one among them, my face was cut. I... I... I've been too scared to tell you."
"What?" Father Shi's voice rose. Enraged, he slammed the bed, "He's dead, so who will compensate you for your ruined face?"
