Chapter 329: Find Her, At Any Cost _1
“Also, we brought all the cutlery you used. We found residues of sleeping pills in the bowl of soup you had. Tianling, did soone try to kill you? I heard from the hotel staff that there was another woman with you. Who is she? Was she trying to harm you?”
Yan Yue asked, her brow furrowed in deep concern and unease.
Having heard what she said, Ruan Tianling more or less understood what had happened.
He narrowed his dark sharp eyes, his voice coldly questioning, “You’re saying soone drugged my soup with sleeping pills?”
“Yes!” Yan Yue confird emphatically.
“When you ca to see , was I the only one in the hotel room?”
“Yes, it was just you. There were no signs of anyone else. The hotel staff have reviewed the surveillance footage. They just called to tell that last night, a woman carrying a suitcase and wearing a hat and sunglasses was seen leaving your room. Tianling, who is she? Do you know her?”
Ha, who else would that woman be, if not Jian Yufei?
Ruan Tianling closed his eyes. His thin lips pressed into a firm line, and he felt weak all over, too weak even to clench his fists.
He was straining himself, using all his self-control to suppress his raging anger.
He recalled what Jian Yufei had said to him in the elevator the day before.
[“Ruan Tianling, wouldn’t it be great if you were dead? That way, you wouldn’t harm others.”]
[“You want dead?”]
[“Yes!”]
[“Then why don’t you kill yourself?”]
She indeed tried to kill him!
Jian Yufei, do you hate so much that you’d even want to kill yourself?!
After all the trust I put in you, I genuinely thought you were just in a bad mood, so I brought you out to take your mind off things.
I even thought about making things right, for you and our child, when we returned.
But this is how you repay !
Ruan Tianling’s heart felt as though it’d been poisoned, throbbing with intense pain, as if he’d rather be dead.
He bit his teeth so hard he almost broke them.
After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold, sharp, and brooding.
He sat up and coldly asked Yan Yue, “Where’s my phone?”
“Here,” Yan Yue hurried to hand him his phone. She felt a bit afraid of him for so reason.
He seed dangerous, like a beast poised to sever the throat of its prey.
Ruan Tianling stared down, expressionless, as he dialed Jian Yufei’s number, only to find out she had turned off her phone.
His lips curved into a cold smile before he dialed another number.
“Find soone, Jian Yufei, find her without sparing any costs! Once you find her, bring her to safely, no mistakes allowed!”
Yan Yue’s heart skipped a beat, she clenched her teeth so hard that her lip bled and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ruan Tianling hung up the call, then looked at her. She t his gaze head-on, but could no longer hold back her tears, which slid down her rosy cheeks.
“Tianling, the woman with you was Jian Yufei, and she’s the one who drugged you, didn’t she?”
“…”
“Why were you with her in the first place, and why do you still care about her safety even when she’s trying to kill you? Tianling, are you…are you in love with her?” Yan Yue asked him hesitantly, choking on her words in anguish.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with unease and trepidation, fearful of receiving an affirmative answer from him.
Ruan Tianling’s deep gaze was devoid of any emotion. “It’s not what you think,” he said.
