346: Turned Off Her Phone!

Turned Off Her Phone!

The previous time his boss came to Country E for business purposes, he had changed his destination last minute due to what had happened to Miss Ling. She ended up getting ambushed there too.2

Which meant the other had prepared a backup plan. No matter where his boss showed up, he would be ambushed.

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

"Boss, it seems that we might have a mole in our midst, or…" He didn't continue.

To know his boss' schedule and make arrangements in advance, if they weren't a mole, then it would have to be someone in the Ruan family.

"It's a Ruan," Ruan Zeyan said what Du Gang did not, and he was confident of his words.

"I don't know who exactly it is. The other had contacted me anonymously. Even his phone was a burner phone, and I couldn't track any information from it. I have told you everything I could. Please let me go…"

The assassin begged. It didn't look good or feel good, losing his life just for petty cash.

"I'll leave the rest to you." Ruan Zeyan did not spare the assassin another glance and left after giving Du Gang the instructions.

After returning to his room, the first thing Ruan Zeyan did was video call Ling Tianya.

But the moment the request was sent out, it was quickly rejected by Ling Tianya.

What?

Ling Tianya nervously looked at Yu Chenshi napping beside her, relieved that she wasn't rudely awakened by the call.

A message came then.

"Why did you reject the call?"

Ruan Zeyan glared at his phone, waiting for Ling Tianya's reply. The feeling as he waited for her response exasperated him.

Finally, the woman replied. "I can't pick up."

… What?

It's already so late into the night. Shouldn't Ling Tianya be preparing for sleep? What could she be doing? Why couldn't she pick up?

Thoughts flew through Ruan Zeyan's brain, churning out all the possible scenarios one by one, making his mood worse the more he thought about it. When he called again, she had already turned her phone off.

Ling Tianya, how dare you turn off your phone!

On the other end, the brightness of the phone and message ringtones still managed to wake up Yu Chenshi. The woman turned over. "Tianya, it's late. Turn off your phone and sleep. We're still going to visit your aunt tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Ling Tianya didn't want to delay anymore and just turned off her phone. She would never know how much turmoil this small action of hers had caused Ruan Zeyan.

The next morning, Du Gang felt something amiss with his own boss. He was still over-the-moon hearing that Miss Ling had torn down someone's home earlier. Why did his mood change so quickly?

Du Gang secretly asked Big One and Small One what Ling Tianya was up to currently.

Their reply: Miss Ling's in her room, and they're standing guard outside, so they didn't know what she was doing, most likely sleeping.

Du Gang was even more confused now. So what was his Boss so hung up on?

For such a cold man like Ruan Zeyan, he definitely would never admit that he had tossed and turned the entire nigh, just because Ling Tianya had rejected his video call and even turned her phone off. How embarrassing would it be should word spread?

The morning's sunlight were piercing. Huang Yuqing came dejectedly to an entertainment facility's door. The young man by the door answered her tiredly, exhausted by a whole night's work. "Go home, we're closed."

Huang Yuqing's face twitched. "I'm looking for Brother Kui."

The kid was stunned. "Brother Kui's still sleeping. He won't talk to you."

"Tell him that I am Huang Dawei's daughter. He will meet me," Huang Yuqing pressed, refusing to give up.

The moment Huang Dawei's name was brought up, the kid rolled his eyes before spitting out his words, "Fine, wait here!"
