Chapter 376: The Gambler at the End of His Rope
"President, what should we do?" Yang Ru asked in a low voice.
"Increase the manpower," Yan Sijue instructed gravely, "Prepare to force our way in, but don’t alert the enemy!"
"I understand." Yang Ru accepted the orders and left.
Yan Sijue’s mood was extremely heavy.
He knew full well that at this point, only Mu Yiliang coming over could calm down the madman Ye Moran! However, the more it was like this, the more unpredictable Ye Moran’s actions would become, and he was unwilling to take that risk no matter what!
Recalling what Xiao Qi said, his gaze became even deeper and more inscrutable.
If he had to make a decision, he would rather have her hate him than let her take the risk!
******
Two days quickly passed.
At the place Yan Sijue was temporarily staying, another severed finger of Qiao Yebai was received!
Yang Ru did not dare show him the item, only reporting the situation: "... It seems Ye Moran is reminding us!"
Yan Sijue wished to tear that madman Ye Moran into shreds!
Qiao Yebai’s life or death was of no concern to him! But if Qiao Yebai died, Mu Yiliang would definitely not forgive him!
He promised her he would bring Qiao Yebai back safe and sound, is he going to go back on his word now?
But the problem was, it wasn’t that he was unwilling to sacrifice, but that Ye Moran clearly didn’t want those things. He wasn’t incapable of bringing Qiao Yebai out, but if he really did so, he’d probably only bring back Qiao Yebai’s corpse!
Yan Sijue took a deep breath, lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Arrange another meeting with him."
Yang Ru nodded and went to contact Ye Moran’s subordinates, but after a while, he walked back helplessly.
"President, Ye Moran refuses to see you." Yang Ru smiled bitterly, "Unless Lady Mu comes, he won’t see anyone."
Right now, Ye Moran was like a gambler on the edge of despair, clinging to his last chip, refusing to make a move without seeing the cards.
Yan Sijue pressed his lips tightly, a storm raging in his eyes! He was truly afraid that he would lose control of his anger and do something insane!
However, in the afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Housekeeper Li.
"Sir, Madam insists on finding you! I couldn’t stop her, so I sent as many people as possible with her..."
Yan Sijue’s face changed dramatically!
This woman, she actually did it anyway!
There was no time to blame Housekeeper Li; he maintained a calm expression and immediately took people to the airport to meet her!
At the first sight of Mu Yiliang, Yan Sijue’s heart tightened!
How in just a few days did this woman turn herself into such a state?
Her face was pale as paper, devoid of any color, so fragile that a gust of wind might knock her over!
The man couldn’t bother to blame her, striding forward to embrace her, his hands trembling uncontrollably!
"Yiliang..." He heard his own hoarse voice, "What on earth were you thinking?"
"You..." Mu Yiliang knew her sudden arrival would surely displease him and sniffled, "I was worried about you! Although I don’t want anything to happen to Ye Bai, I care even more about not wanting you to take risks!"
Yan Sijue was shaken, a trace of complex emotion flitting through his eyes.
He picked her up horizontally and walked towards the car.
"...We’ll talk about it when we get back."
Accompanying Mu Yiliang, besides the bodyguards, were Xiao Qi and a doctor.
Mu Yiliang’s condition was not well, as her complexion alone could tell.
