943: The Real Him (2)

The Real Him (2)

Hearing the boss's question, Zhang Ke was the first to stand up and told the truth of everything that had happened. "I was going to take some fruit to Ling Tianya, but right as I came out of the kitchen, I bumped into Mark. He said that he wanted to talk to me. He said he is part of the organization and one of your most trusted subordinates, which is why I didn't suspect him at all. I didn't expect that he would use such an underhand trick as to drug me and steal the key to Ling Tianya's room, then lock me in the storeroom while I was still affected by the drug."2

"As for what happened after that, I do not know. Because I had been a tester for the drug during its development, I have developed some resistance against it. Therefore, the effects wore off quite quickly."

"However, by the time I rushed to Ling Tianya's room, it was already empty. Only a rope that had obviously been used to tie someone up was left. I knew that something had gone wrong and started looking. In the end, I found Ling Tianya in the basement. At that time, Mark was holding Ling Tianya down on the bed, while Ms. Mandy was holding a surgical knife and was about to stab Ling Tianya. In a moment of panic, I picked up a pair of pliers beside me and threw them at Ms. Mandy's hand."

After listening to Zhang Ke's words, the man's eyes looked towards the back where Mandy stood and at her hand. It was indeed pierced through and was still bleeding.

Noticing that the man was looking at her, Mandy immediately pouted and raised her hand to show the man.

She thought that the man would feel sorry for her and scold Zhang Ke, but unexpectedly, the man glared at her with an extremely cold gaze. Then he glared at Mark as well.

Mark couldn't bear the overwhelming pressure from the boss's gaze and immediately kneeled on the floor. "Leader, I've committed a sin!"

Zhang Ke looked coldly at Mark who was kneeling on the floor, then continued, "In order to save Ling Tianya, I fought with Mark, and Ling Tianya took the opportunity to run away. Along the way, she probably bumped into the man who is locked in there..."

Zhang Ke was going to say Gu Zhiqian's name, but while looking at the boss who looked exactly like Gu Zhiqian, Zhang Ke couldn't bring herself to say it.

However, although Zhang Ke didn't voice it, the man obviously knew what she was going to say. He had already expected this. Besides, Ling Tianya had already worked out a long time ago that he wasn't Gu Zhiqian, so there was no reason for him to pretend anymore.

As Zhang Ke watched Ling Tianya who was being held by the boss, her heart started to waver. Actually, she hadn't needed to fight with Mark for so long. She didn't know what was up with her either, but her subconscious had actually wanted to keep Mark busy. Despite the fact that she had already seen Ling Tianya running away out of the corner of her eye, she didn't give chase immediately.

It was only later, when the others had also discovered that Ling Tianya was gone and she had no other choice, that Zhang Ke left to give chase.

She was a fast runner and quickly overtook everybody.

There was a moment when she even thought why not let Ling Tianya run away like this and let her leave this place.

This thought persisted in her heart until she got here and saw the boss, then all of her thoughts instantly vanished.

Finally, after this series of events, Ling Tianya still returned to her original room.

She sat on the sofa and looked at that person whose face was exactly the same as Gu Zhiqian. "You are not Gu Zhiqian."

The man took off her jacket, then sat down casually and lazily across Ling Tianya and replied mildly, "That's right."

Hearing the reply she had expected, Ling Tianya looked at him intensely. "Although I feel that it's impossible, but I still think that you are Mandy Wang's brother, Wang Manpeng."
