Ye Zhen hadn't been able to contact Xu Nuo for days and was very anxious! One moment he felt that Xu Nuo had deceived him, and the next he felt that he hadn't lost anything!
He went to see Nan Qing'an twice, but Nan Qing'an only told him to focus on preparations. However, this promise never materialized. What use was it to prepare everything else if he didn't have the funds?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Nuo was playing him, and that he and Ye Linyan were playing him together! Where did he get so much money?
Ye Zhen paced back and forth in his office, finally deciding not to wait any longer; he still had to go find Nan Qing'an!
Just as he picked up his coat, the phone rang.
Ye Zhen glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar phone number, a virtual number. After hesitating for a moment, he answered it anyway.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Ye, I heard you miss me a lot! Hehe~"
Ye Zhen listened carefully for a while before asking uncertainly:
"A promise?"
"Yes, who else could it be but me?"
"Are you kidding me?! You've disappeared for so long? Where's the money?"
Ye Zhen's patience has run out. He has already made all the boasts, and not only has the promised funding not arrived, but the person has also disappeared. He can no longer sit still!
"So urgent! Give me an account number, and I'll transfer the money to you right away!"
"Really?" Ye Zhen sat down and asked with some doubt.
"Why would I lie to you? But now that the money's in your account, you should know what you need to do!"
"We'll talk once the money is in your account!" Ye Zhen replied.
"I'll send you an email in a bit. Send me your account details! Now it's up to you, Mr. Ye!"
After making the promise, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ye Zhen's reply!
.........................................................................................................
At this moment, Xu Nuo was standing at a mountain pass, holding a satellite phone in his hand.
After hanging up the phone with Ye Zhen, he then called Shao Rui, gave him instructions, and then stared blankly at the distant, continuous mountains for a while!
"Can we go now?"
Night Owl was wearing sunglasses and the windbreaker that Xu Nuo had promised to buy for him.
"I haven't called Nan Qing'an yet! I still don't know what's going on with him! And there's no new information from Shao Rui either!"
Xu Nuo stood side by side with Ye Mao. He had been here for two days, but there had been no response to the news he had sent to inquire about Nan Qing'an.
"He has people here, and we have no idea which ones are his! Or maybe he has people everywhere! What do we do?"
Night Owl glanced at the people following him, then turned back and said:
"These few are absolutely trustworthy; I only brought a handful of them with me!"
Xu Nuo patted Night Owl on the shoulder: "It's okay, I have a way!"
"Let's go then!"
Night Owl took a few steps forward, then noticed that Xu Nuo hadn't followed, and turned to look at him...
"I'll call my brother again!"
Xu Nuo had been hesitating for a while about whether to call Ye Linyan, but he finally made up his mind just now.
He dialed a number he knew by heart and walked a few steps away.
The phone rang only a few times before it was answered, and a familiar voice came through:
"Arno?"
Ye Linyan was in a meeting when his phone displayed a virtual number. He immediately realized it was Xu Nuo calling and paused the meeting.
"Brother, weren't you going to send me to school? Why did you send me here!"
Xu Nuo said with a grin.
"Afraid you'd run away! Are you happy now?"
Ye Linyan left the conference room, closed the door, and then spoke softly.
"It's alright, I just miss you!" Xu Nuo felt the sun was too bright today, so she took out her sunglasses and put them on.
"You stay put there, understand?"
"Huh? I can't hear you... Brother..."
Xu Nuo deliberately pulled the phone away, pretending he couldn't hear it.
"You.....................Don't pretend you can't hear me............"
Ye Linyan dared not raise his voice, and could only hesitate to speak.
"Have you missed me, brother?" Xu Nuo asked.
Ye Linyan stood at the conference room door, glanced inside, and took a few steps to the other side:
"Um."
"What does 'hmm' mean?"
Xu Nuo pressed for further questions.
"That's enough, I'm in a meeting."
"How come you have so many meetings every day! Bro, do you think they could lock me up if I wanted to run away?"
Xu Nuo smiled and kicked a pebble at his feet.
"You shut up!"
After Ye Linyan finished speaking, he looked around and lowered his voice: "Don't cause any trouble!"
"Then tell me you like me!" Xu Nuo could imagine what Ye Linyan was like just by listening to his fluctuating voice, and her smile grew even brighter.
"Brother, I saw the love letter you wrote to me!"
Ye Linyan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "That's not a love letter!"
"Oh, so you're saying you like me!"
Xu Nuo's laughter came through the phone. Ye Linyan looked left and right. There was no one here now, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them!
"If you don't tell me, I'm running away! But I found out that Nan Qing'an confessed his feelings for me on his WeChat Moments..."
"How dare you say that! If you hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have done this..."
Upon hearing Xu Nuo's words, Ye Linyan felt a surge of jealousy again and walked a distance away from the conference room.
"Will you tell me or not?"
Xu Nuo adopted a tone that suggested he wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of it.
Both sides remained silent, with only the static from the phone ringing for a moment.
Xu Nuo kept the phone pressed against his ear, certain that Ye Linyan would say that even when the phone was pressed against his ear until it turned red, he wouldn't move it away even a little!
Ye Linyan held the phone in silence for a while, his grip tightening. His other hand, which wasn't holding the phone, braced against the wall. After a long pause, he finally moved his lips and uttered a sentence:
"I like you!"
The voice was very soft, but Xu Nuo heard it clearly! She grinned, showing her little tiger tooth, and spun around in place, completely stunning the night cat not far away.
"I love you too, brother! Come here! Give me a kiss!"
Xu Nuo kissed the microphone, and his voice clearly reached Ye Linyan's ears, making Ye Linyan's ears burn!
"I'm in a meeting, I'm hanging up!"
Ye Linyan hung up the phone, feeling her heart beating a little fast. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before pushing open the office door!
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing like that?"
Night Cat looked at Xu Nuo, who was grinning with that little tiger tooth and seemed to be jumping around, and asked.
"Mind your own business... Let's go!"
