Translator: 549690339
MO Xiuchen, his dark and deep eyes focused on the laptop’s screen, opened his mouth to answer, “It is because we haven’t found out anything yet that I must go. If soone in F City intends to harm Wen Ran and they didn’t trick her last night, they might resort to other ans.”
“So when are you coming back? You’re not going to stay in F City for a few days until the end of the dical exchange conference, right? What about the engineering project? I can’t handle it!”
Seeing him staring at him, Qin Mu felt a chill in his heart and shook his head in fear.
“I will try to be back tomorrow.”
MO Xiuchen thought for a mont, made a decision. He wanted to take a look to put his own heart at ease. Based on his understanding of Wen Ran these past few days, he was certain that she had not told Wen Jin about last night’s incident.
Without results from the investigation, he felt uneasy without taking a trip to F City himself.
“Alright, I guess I will be working overti by myself tonight then.”
Although Qin Mu was reluctant, he knew that nothing could change MO Xiuchen’s decision. His obsession with Wen Ran was, to Qin Mu’s mind, irrational.
Based on intuition alone, he had co to the conclusion that Wen Ran was the girl from back then. Not only did he deny the possibility of ‘Cheng Jia’ being the one, but he also went to great lengths to prove that his intuition was correct. This guy was completely obsessed.
“Help book a plane ticket later, for the flight at 6:30 p.m.”
After finishing his sentence, MO Xiuchen picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his slender fingers then confidently tapped on the keyboard.
“Understood!”
Qin Mu glanced at him, grabbed a dish of shrimp, roughly peeled off their heads, cramd them into his mouth, venting all his displeasure onto the shrimps.
Luo Haofeng had been fulfilling his role as a bodyguard dutifully for the entire day.
Because of the umntenaecl ‘KISS’ In tne morning, Bal Xiaoxlao gave mm a cold face the whole day. Luo Haofeng didn’t mind and carried on with his cheerful disposition. Although he claid that the unplanned ‘kiss’ was also his first kiss, the reality was that it was a trivial matter for him.
After finishing work for the day, the person in charge of the main event invited him, along with several other manufacturers, for dinner. Luo Haofeng was among those invited, leaving Wen Ran to be accompanied by Li Qian and Bai Xiaoxiao.
During dinner, Wen Ran’s phone rang. It was a call from MO Xiuchen.
The room was bustling with lots of people, so after hesitating a little, she excused herself from the group, took her phone, and went outside to answer the call.
“Ranran, I’ll go with you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao, sitting next to Wen Ran, also saw the caller ID. Thinking about what happened last night, she felt uncomfortable and stood up to accompany
Wen Ran.
“Okay!”
Wen Ran knew Bai Xiaoxiao was worried about her, so she smiled and nodded.
Both won left the room. When Wen Ran picked up the call, indeed it was MO Xiuchen on the other end.
Bai Xiaoxiao, being a sensible third wheel, excused herself saying, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Wen Ran ignored Bai Xiaoxiao’s teasing smile and waved at her, signaling her to hurry up and leave. The voice that ca into her ear was mixed with noise, as if it was from an airport or similar place.
“Where are you now?”
The low magnetic voice of MO Xiuchen ca through the phone. Wen Ran told him where she was and suddenly blurted out, “Are you in F City?”
“Would you welco ?”
The voice of MO Xiuchen had a hint of laughter and was charmingly flirtatious, as if he was talking right next to her.
Wen Ran’s heart suddenly throbbed!
Her eyes widened in surprise. She was just guessing initially, but he was really in F City! After her surprise, a warm tender feeling surged in her heart, a sense of being touched, even jubilant.
The construction of the Comrcial Trade Building had just begun. He had ntioned that these days would be very busy. But now, he had rushed to F City because of her.
Arriving so late must an he ca after work.
“Why don’t you speak? You really don’t welco ?”
On the other end of the call, as MO Xiuchen was heading towards the airport exit, unable to hear her voice, he asked in a teasing manner. “I am pleased, of course I am pleased. Have you had dinner?”
Wen Ran’s voice was filled with unabashed joy.
“I headed to the airport straight after work. The food on the plane was terrible. F City is your hotown after all. Why don’t you treat to sothing when I
arrive?”
“Okay, no problem!”
Although Wen Ran was not very familiar with her hotown, she had been in F City for a few days already. She could find a suitable place to treat him for a
al.
“Wait for there. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
MO Xiuchen spotted the person who had co to greet him. After instructing Wen Ran, he hung up.
In the corridor, Wen Ran held her mobile phone and turned towards the restroom. Her mind was preoccupied with thinking about what to treat MO Xiuchen to, and she did not even put the mobile phone back in her bag. As she passed the ergency exit, she failed to notice anything strange.
Wen Ran struggled in terror, let out a couple of muffled cries, then her body went limp, sliding to the ground.
The hand holding the mobile phone lost its strength, and the phone fell to the ground.
“Let’s go quickly!”
One of them said, dragged Wen Ran, and quickly disappeared behind the ergency exit door.
In the restroom, Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from her father. He said that MO Xiuchen had agreed to cooperate with their company and asked when she was coming back.
After chatting with her father for a few minutes and hanging up, Bai Xiaoxiao estimated that Wen Ran and MO Xiuchen were still on the phone, so she idled around in the restroom for a while before leaving.
In the corridor, although the light was dim, a mobile phone that had fallen to the ground could still be seen by Bai Xiaoxiao.
She picked up the mobile phone, and when she saw the screensaver photo, her eyes widened in surprise. On the screen was a photo of Wen Ran and her family.
“Ranran!”
Bai Xiaoxiao took a glance around, called out again, stared at the mobile phone, and suddenly had a bad feeling. Thinking of the possibilities, her face turned pale, and she grabbed the mobile phone and ran towards the room.
She pushed open the door of the room to find people inside happily chatting, the spots where Wen Ran and she had been sitting, were empty. Her heart suddenly sank.
“Bai Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?”
In the room, Luo Haofeng was about to take a sip from his wine glass when he saw her troubled face. He frowned and asked.
“Luo Haofeng, sothing happened to Ranran!”
Bai Xiaoxiao was gasping after rushing there, but she didn’t have ti to catch her breath. She completely disregarded the many people present and yelled at Luo Haofeng.
“What’s going on, weren’t you with her?”
Luo Haofeng’s handso face changed, he put down his wine glass, jumped up, and hurried out. His push was so strong that the chair slid and hit the wall, creating a loud noise.
“She was just on the phone with MO Xiuchen, while I went to the restroom. When I returned, I found her mobile phone outside the restroom. She, she’s missing. ”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes reddened, and she seed on the verge of crying.
In a flash, Luo Haofeng’s tall figure was standing in front of her. After hearing her explanation, he snatched Wen Ran’s phone from her hand, shoved her aside, and rushed out of the room.
Bai Xiaoxiao, after being shoved by Luo Haofeng, stepped back a few paces before finally managing to steady herself. The next mont, Li Qian grabbed her hand and asked anxiously:
