Chapter 7 At All Costs
The car drove into another luxurious villa area. Yun Ran did not return to the Yun family, but went to Li Ting's house.
This villa is no less beautiful than Gu He's. Li Ting occupied the largest and best location. It is fully equipped with front and back gardens and swimming pools, and there is also a lawn for pets to play.
Of course, Li Ting didn't have any pets, at least not yet. But the grass remained, neatly trimmed, bare and devoid of any other facilities.
Yun Ran had been awake for a while, and she had lived here for even longer before officially appearing in front of Gu He.
She figured out how the situation had changed in recent years and sought cooperation from Li Ting. After Li Ting agreed, she moved in here, but she rarely returned to the Yun family.
Fortunately, Yun Ran had her own place to live before the accident. Her father was busy with work, so it didn't attract attention if she didn't live at home.
After entering the door, Yun Ran changed her shoes and glanced at Li Ting who was pushed into the living room with his back to her.
After waiting for a while and not hearing any instructions, Yun Ran said hello and went upstairs.
It's strange to say, during the initial negotiations, Li Ting asked her to stay with him before he would agree to cooperate, but when she actually moved in, she was given a separate room, and Li Ting never asked for an intimate relationship with her.
It's totally incomprehensible.
However, Yun Ran didn't care about his partner's psychology or his quirks. He turned the doorknob and entered the house.
Li Ting is a typical X-cold style. The style of the villa is highly unified from decoration to accessories, with gray, white and black occupying the main colors.
Yun Ran's room also had the same style at first, but after she moved in, it was gradually changed. The changes were not big overall, but it was already clearly different from this villa.
For example, light blue curtains, warm yellow star lights, and thick white plush carpets.
Yun Ran didn't have any requirements for her living place, and she didn't have the time to bother with all that. The little changes she made didn't attract anyone's attention. When she came to her senses, she found that the housekeeper had transformed it into the way she would have liked it in the past.
After going into the bathroom to take a shower and change into pajamas, Yun Ran blew his hair half dry and climbed onto the bed with his eyes closed.
After a whole day of tossing and turning, I was very tired and fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.
downstairs.
Li Ting sat by the window, looking at the dark night outside for a long time, then reached out and took the phone with a broken corner of the screen from Fang Xiang.
I looked through the contacts and made a call.
"Have you made any progress on the investigation you were given? What exactly happened during those days when she was kidnapped three years ago?"
The voice on the other end was not clear through the receiver: "All surveillance footage has been destroyed and cannot be restored. However, following your instructions, we have found traces of the kidnapper who managed to escape. As long as we catch him, all the questions will be answered."
"It's just that guy is so slippery. I was a little slow this time and he got away. It takes time to lock on again."
Li Ting tightened his grip on the phone, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke: "As soon as possible, at any cost."
After finishing the call, he asked Fang Xiang and the others to go and have a rest, and he maneuvered his wheelchair into the elevator alone.
He stopped on the second floor and walked quietly to Yun Ran's door. After hesitating for a while, he raised his hand and knocked twice.
There was no response from inside, so Li Ting lowered his eyes, turned the doorknob and opened the door.
The warm bedside lamp was on in the room, and the person on the bed had already fallen asleep.
Li Ting lowered his voice, walked to the bedside, and gently held Yun Ran's hand.
The emotions that he had tried so hard to suppress during the day burst out. The calmness and depth in his eyes as he stared at Yun Ran were gone, leaving only indescribable love and pain, swirling and emitting sparks, as if to burn out all his rationality.
