Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 1024
Chapter 1024: That Pen’s Use (5)
Another night passed. Ruan Zeyan sat on the sofa, his long fingers pounding on the computer keyboard. His red eyes stared unblinkingly at the screen. It contained surveillance footage of many miles of paths in City H. He needed to find the path that Mike and his people had taken in the van and, from there, narrow it down.
This was like finding a needle in a haystack. He couldn’t fast-forward the footage. If he did, then he might miss critical details.
At this time, his phone rang once again. This was the same person who had been calling him N + 1 times since dawn: Wang Mandy.
Seeing the word “Wife” on the screen, Ruan Zeyan subconsciously thought of Ling Tianya. Then he quickly reacted. The person who was calling him was not Ling Tianya but Wang Mandy.
This feeling of disappointment and hate made Ruan Zeyan feel incredibly disgusted. In the end, he placed his phone in do-not-disturb mode. Besides Du Gang’s phone call, no one else’s call would come through.
Because Wang Mandy could not connect with Ruan Zeyan, she called Du Gang. Therefore, Du Gang similarity experienced the explosion of phone calls in the morning.
In the beginning, he picked up the phone and dealt with it, saying that Ruan Zeyan was busy and such. But later, he also gave up and similarly placed his phone in do-not-disturb mode. Besides Ruan Zeyan and the people in the hidden guard’s system, no one else could call him.
Ruan Zeyan looked at the time. It was already eight. The birthday party began at eleven-thirty, which meant that before twelve, as a son, he must return.
Ling Tianya and Gu Zhiqian walked for a long time before they found a small village.
Gu Zhiqian’s first reaction was to call the police. However, Ling Tianya stopped him. Zhang Ke was still there. If they called the police now, the police would rush there and would capture Zhang Ke along with the members of the terrorist organization.
However, this wasn’t the reason why Ling Tianya stopped Gu Zhiqian. It was mainly because she was unclear about the situation with the mansion and the Gu family. If they suddenly called the police and alerted Wang Manpeng, then who knew what kind of crazy things they would do?
Ling Tianya wanted to connect with Ruan Zeyan. However, she realized that she couldn’t get a hold of Ruan Zeyan’s phone. She didn’t dare call the mansion and could only call Du Gang. Similarly, Du Gang also could not be reached.
Ling Tianya sat outside of the small grocery store, somewhat disappointed. Gu Zhiqian bought some water and bread using the money that Zhang Ke had given them and gave them to Ling Tianya. “No matter what, eat first. I have already talked to the boss here. In a while, he will send us to the station. We will buy the earliest return ticket and stop Wang Manpeng.”
Ling Tianya lifted her head and looked at the clock in the grocery store. “Based on your method, we won’t make it on time.”
“Then what can we do? If all else fails, we can use all of our money to call a cab. It’ll be an hour, and we’ll get there in time if we rush.”
Ling Tianya laughed. “Then what? Are we going to rush in like this? If we do that, we won’t solve anything. We will only walk into a trap.”
“Then what can we do?”
Ling Tianya pondered this question. Neither Ruan Zeyan’s nor Du Gang’s phone could be reached. At this time, she didn’t dare to call anyone else either.
Suddenly, Ling Tianya’s eyes lit up as she remembered the fountain pen that Ruan Qishan had given her.
