Chapter 1493 Who can be blamed for this?
When the phone rang, Chu Yan was sitting in the dark in a daze.
He sat at the hot pot table that had long since cooled down. Outside the window was the howling night wind and the waves. The pot in the room that had been steaming hot before had now solidified into an ugly shape and no one had cleaned it.
The cruise ship was sailing alone on the sea. The lights on the ship were dim and it was very quiet, as if it was full of silent ghosts.
Chu Yan woke up from his trance, picked up the phone, took a look at it and answered it.
He said nothing and remained silent for a long time after listening to the anxious and low voice on the other end.
The corners of his mouth curled up into an emotionless smile, his eyes staring at the cooling hot pot without focus, muttering to himself,
"What a shame."
I thought there would be more time.

Huo Family Mansion
After Yan Yi's speculation was made known, everyone immediately took action.
This speculation was finally confirmed until a servant in the Huo family was found who was responsible for taking care of the tombstones in the back mountain every day.
"They didn't believe me before, but I did see a large cruise ship from a distance this afternoon, and it clearly left from the foot of the mountain behind."
The gardener had just been pulled out of bed and was now making a dazed explanation with his hair messy and his eyes squinting.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Huo's cane struck the ground with a loud bang.
"Arrange tracking immediately! Send out all the ships and follow the direction given by Yan Yi!"
Huo Lang, who had been following him, immediately accepted the order. When he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Cheng Zhiyuan. He turned around and saw the dark eyes of the leader without any light.
"Notify the special forces stationed in Yungang and have them rush over immediately with their weapons."
Cheng Zhiyuan handed over something. Huo Lang took it and took a look. He was shocked. It was a golden badge representing the rank of chief. There was absolutely no fake of this kind of badge directly awarded by the country's leaders. However, this kind of thing would usually be taken back by the highest military department upon retirement. Cheng Zhiyuan had clearly retired for a year, but for some reason, he was still holding this badge.
Huo Lang looked at him with complicated eyes, nodded, and turned away.
Cheng Zhiyuan sat on the sofa, pressed his forehead, his face a little pale. Commander Cheng glanced at him, and his face, which had been cold and hard, finally showed a little bit of heartache, but he was interrupted by the vibration of his mobile phone the next second.
Cheng Zhiyuan took out his cell phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was a string of unsigned numbers.
After a moment of silence filled with a strange and ominous premonition, he pressed the answer button.
He didn't speak for a long time, as if waiting for the other party to speak.
But the person over there seemed to be waiting for him to speak first. After a moment of strange but tacit silence, the person over there chuckled softly.
"You are really patient, Cheng Zhiyuan."
His palms clenched slightly, and his teeth bled almost instantly, but his voice remained calm.
"How can I compare to you in terms of patience? You've been lurking by Shen Pianpian's side for so long, probably all for this moment?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others instantly understood who was over there.
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Yan Yi immediately raised his eyes, winked at the Shao family men beside him, pointed at Cheng Zhiyuan's mobile phone, and signaled him to locate it immediately.
On the phone, Chu Yan was speaking to Cheng Zhiyuan in his gorgeous, smiling voice,
"Who can I blame for this, Cheng Zhiyuan? Isn't it your fault for not protecting her? For not finding out my identity as quickly as possible? For not stopping her from continuing to associate with me after she roughly knew my identity? She fell into my hands defenselessly today. This is all your fault, Chief Cheng."
