Chapter 413 - 406: I Heard
When she arrived at the company, the busy work temporarily made Bai Yiran forget the unpleasantness between her and Leng Yichen.
Knock, knock!
Brother Zhou stood outside the door, tapping on Bai Yiran’s office door, "Let’s go, the morning meeting is starting."
"Okay."
Bai Yiran replied, somewhat unwillingly, and went with Brother Zhou to the meeting room. Actually, in her view, the daily morning meetings were really boring. Sometimes, thirty minutes were spent talking about irrelevant matters, which was a total waste of time and energy. She would rather use those thirty minutes to explore a potential client.
At this moment, the administrative manager was speaking, but Bai Yiran wasn’t paying attention. She found it difficult to concentrate, as drowsiness surged towards her like a giant wave, and her eyelids began to fight against each other.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed with vibration, it was a call from Wu Jingjing. Bai Yiran glanced at the phone and directly rejected the call.
Wu Jingjing sat on the bed, looking somewhat disappointed at the text message replied by Bai Yiran after rejecting her call.
I’m in a meeting.
Wu Jingjing, more sensitive than other children her age, reacted to these few words by thinking that Bai Yiran didn’t want to take her call.
"So, did she pick up?" Wu Chengzu walked in, a cigarette in his hand.
"No." Wu Jingjing’s mood was low. Yesterday, Bai Yiran clearly came to see her, even took her to see a doctor and made food for her. But now, everything seemed to have reverted to how it was before. Wu Jingjing suddenly raised her head and glared at Wu Chengzu, "How did you know she wouldn’t answer my call? Did you do something to her last night?"
Before Wu Jingjing made the call, Wu Chengzu had clearly told her that Bai Yiran most likely wouldn’t answer. Wu Jingjing didn’t believe it and insisted on calling. As a result, it turned out exactly as Wu Chengzu had said; Bai Yiran didn’t answer.
Wu Chengzu felt even more wronged than Dou E. He indeed hadn’t done anything to Bai Yiran. However, he thought it might indeed be because of him that Bai Yiran no longer answered Wu Jingjing’s calls.
Last night, that final look Leng Yichen gave him before leaving, he still remembered clearly. It was filled with warning.
Besides, it wasn’t until this morning he realized yesterday was Valentine’s Day.
"Get out, don’t smoke in my room!" Wu Jingjing’s undisguised disgust made Wu Chengzu’s face look bad, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He owed his daughter, so he tolerated these minor matters.
Walking out of Wu Jingjing’s bedroom, a call came on Wu Chengzu’s phone. The caller displayed was a series of numbers, with no designation of who it was.
"Can you talk now?" The voice on the other end was a woman’s.
"Go ahead." Wu Chengzu replied impassively, almost mechanically.
"Have you found that Bai Chuan?"
"No."
"Can he just disappear into thin air? How come you’re so incompetent now? Have your skills vanished after being gone for two years?" The woman’s voice faintly showed displeasure.
"While I still have patience, you better watch your damn mouth when talking to me!" Hearing the woman’s complaints suddenly ignited Wu Chengzu’s intense anger.
The woman paused for a moment and softened her tone, "The next deal with Mr. Dong is set and there can’t be mistakes this time, or neither of us will get away with it. I’m anxious as well, especially since the last time one of your men betrayed us, Mr. Dong and we both suffered considerable losses."
"I don’t need you to remind me of this nonsense!" Wu Chengzu walked onto the balcony and closed the door, "At worst, I’ll throw my life down with him, then no one will get away with it!"
"Fine, I didn’t say anything, did I?" The woman paused, "I heard Leng Yichen went to H City."
