He was somewhat apprehensive, wondering if he had offended the CEO, or if his report was unsatisfactory. Or perhaps the CEO was dissatisfied with their department's performance?
Although assistant Hao Ren was also puzzled, he still smiled and said, "I'm sorry everyone, the president has some urgent matters to attend to. Today's meeting will end here. I will notify you later whether it will be postponed or not. Please dismiss everyone for now."
The marketing manager breathed a sigh of relief, wiping his forehead. It was good that it wasn't his fault; he had been terrified.
After Fu Yunchen left, he kept calling Yi Tianran, but she didn't answer any of his calls and hung up immediately. His face was extremely gloomy.
He turned on the electronic bracelet on his wrist, connected it to the computer, and Fu Yunchen quickly typed on the keyboard to locate Yi Tianran's bracelet.
If Yi Tianran ran away, why wasn't his bracelet reacting? Fu Yunchen didn't know for the time being, but he had a vague guess in his mind.
Looking at the distance between the two wristbands on the computer screen, he was stunned. He noticed that the red dots on the two wristbands on the map were actually overlapping.
Fu Yunchen narrowed his eyes, looked around, and quickly opened the drawer of his desk. Sure enough, he found another bracelet in one of the drawers, the one that should have been on Yi Tianran's wrist.
He gripped it tightly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and immediately notified his men: "Prepare the car, go to the airport, and also contact the airline to find someone."
Yi Tianran, you dare to run away? Just wait until I catch you...
At the airport, Yi Tianran lost count of how many calls she had to cut off from Fu Yunchen. Her heart was pounding. After checking in, she immediately pulled the little furball onto the plane.
She breathed a sigh of relief and now wished the plane could take off immediately.
"Mommy, I'm a little nervous right now. What if Daddy catches us?" The little furball blinked.
"Let's talk about this after we take off. It's bad luck to say it now." She rolled her eyes.
Yi Tianran took out her phone, just about to turn it off, when another call came in. She thought it was Fu Yunchen calling again, but to her surprise, it was Zhuang Yizhan calling.
She answered the phone: "We'll talk about it later, I'm busy right now."
Zhuang Yizhan raised an eyebrow: "I think you'd better let me finish speaking first."
Yi Tianran frowned: "What is it?"
"Didn't you keep asking me to help you find your teacher's whereabouts?"
She was stunned, overjoyed: "You found him?"
Zhuang Yizhan shrugged: "No, how can someone who has mysteriously disappeared for so many years be found so easily? I have spent a lot of effort and have only found some clues so far."
Yi Tianran was somewhat disappointed, but she could understand: "Alright, something is better than nothing. What clues?"
"I've sent the information to your email. Please check it."
She immediately asked Xiao Mao Tuan to bring out the computer and connect to the email. Sure enough, there was a new email. When she opened it, there was only one page, which contained a photo.
The photo shows a circular, relief-like pattern with intricate and complex lines in the center. It's hard to tell what it resembles, but even through the screen, you can feel its antique charm.
Zhuang Yizhan said, "The only clue we've found so far is this pattern. According to the information I have, your teacher suddenly disappeared five years ago. Before he disappeared, he appeared in the underground black market in N country and participated in an underground auction."
“Auction houses keep the identities of their guests confidential, and places like the black market are even stricter. All I managed to get my hands on was this photo, and I don’t know what it means yet.”
Yi Tianran frowned, staring intently at the photo. The little furball beside her craned its neck to take a look and suddenly said, "Mommy, I've seen this pattern before!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran's eyes lit up with joy: "Where?"
"On Daddy's computer."
During the few days that Yi Tianran took care of Huaihuai, Xiao Maotuan and Geng Geng were really bored, so they kept having all sorts of competitions, one of which was hacking into their dad's computer. Unexpectedly, when they entered the confidential files together, their dad discovered them when he sat back down at the computer.
The competition was lost, but the little furball had a photographic memory from a young age and memorized the pattern.
Yi Tianran paused for a moment, then asked, "Besides that, what else did you discover?"
The little furball shook his head and said, "Daddy came back suddenly, so I was kicked out before I could even take the next step!"
At this moment, a flight attendant came over and kindly reminded everyone: "Hello, miss, the plane will be taking off in three minutes. Please turn off your electronic devices. Thank you for your cooperation."
Zhuang Yizhan raised an eyebrow and smiled on the other end of the phone: "You're on the plane? Looks like you've already got the chip and escaped unscathed."
Yi Tianran: "..."
She blinked, swallowed hard, and felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"
Even just half an hour earlier would have been better.
Zhuang Yizhan asked, puzzled, "Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is," she said through gritted teeth.
The clues are now with Fu Yunchen. Although it's unclear how the photo relates to Fu Yunchen's businesses, compared to her complete lack of leads, Fu Yunchen's approach is clearly a better bet.
In other words, she not only couldn't run away, but she also needed to stay by Fu Yunchen's side and try to get more information about the photo.
But now she's run away, and Fu Yunchen already knows.
That man must be furious, but she still has to obediently send her back. Is God playing a cruel joke on her?
"Alright, I have something to do, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Yi Tianran took a deep breath, quickly shut down her computer, packed her things, and took her little furball off the plane.
The little furball was a bit confused and could only guess, "Mommy, does Uncle Zhuang have a mission? Is that why we're not going to Mexico and are changing flights to another country?"
Even so, it shouldn't be now. Daddy is already on his way. Shouldn't they be running away as soon as possible?
Yi Tianran sighed: "No, we're not leaving. We're heading back home."
Little fluffy ball: "..."
He blinked: "Mommy, that joke is terrifying."
“It is indeed terrifying, but what’s even more terrifying is that this is not a joke… Things have changed, and it’s estimated that we will be staying in China for a long time.” Yi Tianran said with mixed feelings.
A gust of wind blew by, and despite the sweltering summer heat, the mother and son felt a chill run through them. The little furball touched his arm and said, "Mommy, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
History repeats itself, and the little furball is filled with despair.
Yi Tianran smiled bitterly. She wanted to, too, but things just happened to be so coincidental, it was so frustrating.
Just then, her phone rang again; it was Fu Yunchen calling.
