Jiang Lirong, however, was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, and said with a stern face, "Whether A-Lang and I are friends is not for others to comment on."
Yuan Heng was extremely anxious and shouted, "A Lang is sick! Do you know that?! If you truly consider her a friend and genuinely love and care for her, you shouldn't have kept her whereabouts a secret!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lirong remained unmoved and secretly glared at Sheng Xuan.
"I only know that she is in country N, but I cannot disclose her exact location."
He had barely finished speaking when he turned to close the door—
"Wait!" Sheng Xuan pressed the door shut just in time, and said calmly, "Mr. Jiang, there is something else I would like to ask you."
Jiang Lirong, abandoning his usual gentle demeanor, said gruffly, "No need! I have nothing to say to you! You guys go! Don't bother me!"
Yuan Heng angrily cursed, "Ah Lang is really sick! We've been looking for her in N country for over half a month, trying to persuade her to come back to China for treatment and surgery! Is your head made of wood?!"
Jiang Lirong seemed to be angry too, and shouted: "She is an adult, and she is free to do whatever she wants! I promised her I wouldn't reveal her whereabouts, and I will definitely keep my word!"
"Nonsense!" Yuan Heng said in a deep voice, "I also promised her not to reveal that she came to N country! But after I found out she was sick, I came to find her with Sheng Xuan without stopping! True friends are those who genuinely care about her and consider her health, not those who just watch her die!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lirong remained unmoved and said calmly, "No comment."
Yuan Heng let out a "roar!" and bared his teeth and claws, about to rush over—Sheng Xuan calmly stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him back.
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut!
Yuan Heng was furious and shouted, "Why are you stopping me?! I'm going to beat him to death!"
“What’s the point of beating him up?” Sheng Xuan said in a low voice, “Hitting someone is illegal. You have to find a respectable opportunity to beat him up. You can’t let him make you half-dead with anger and then send you to the police station.”
Yuan Heng took a deep breath, turned around angrily, and walked back.
Sheng Xuan slowly stepped forward.
The two entered the elevator together.
Yuan Heng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "He clearly met A-Lang and knew her whereabouts, but he deliberately refused to tell us. Damn it! We told him A-Lang was sick, but he didn't believe us! If he truly loved her, shouldn't he have jumped up immediately, worried and taking us to find her? What kind of love is this? Luckily, A-Lang didn't choose him!"
Back in school, Jiang Lirong pursued A Lang relentlessly, showering her with love letters, roses, gifts... he practically used every trick in the book to win her over.
He even advised Alang that Jiang Lirong was a gentle and handsome man with a good family background and was a top student in the law department, so he was worth considering.
A-Lang simply smiled and said he wasn't her type.
Now it seems that this person is not worthy of cooking for her at all.
Sheng Xuan said in a low voice with a stern face: "Ming Haoyuan said he has been here for a week. A few days ago, there was a typhoon here, but he said it had no impact. This means that he has been staying in Joy City and has not left."
Yuan Heng said irritably, "So what? Does it prove that A Lang is in Joe City? He might really be staying here on vacation."
Sheng Xuan sneered: "Does his颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a listless or颓废 appearance) look like he's on vacation?"
Yuan Heng was taken aback, then thought back to how Jiang Lirong had changed from his usual handsome and refined image to someone with a bad complexion and a disheveled appearance, looking utterly dejected.
"He doesn't look like... he looks more like one of those heartbroken, failed men."
