Seeing Luo Yuming standing still, Ruan Qing'an was slightly taken aback and leaned out of the car window: "Luo Yuming, what's wrong?"
Luo Yuming did not speak, but his expression turned slightly somber.
Ruan Qingan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Did something happen to your friend? I haven't seen him since last time."
Hearing this, Luo Yuming finally raised his head and said helplessly, "...Miss, you are quite perceptive at a time like this."
"I'm not stupid."
The young lady gave an impatient snort and beckoned to Luo Yuming: "Come here, do you think you can come up with a solution by just standing there like an idiot?"
After getting into the car, Luo Yuming leaned against the edge of the window, rubbing his phone with his fingertips, seemingly deep in thought.
Cheng Yue lost contact two days ago after he went to the Ruan family. The last message he received was also related to the Ruan family. Could it be that he ran into the Ruan family?
The woman on the other end of the phone was named Wen Hui. She was Cheng Yue's girlfriend and also Luo Yuming's friend. She was worried not only about Cheng Yue, but also about how this sudden change might affect Luo Yuming's plans.
Just then, Ruan Qingan suddenly said, "Tell me."
Luo Yuming didn't take it seriously, and just casually said, "His name is Cheng Yue. He lost contact after picking you up from the Ruan family."
"So, you're suspecting the Ruan family? Well, that's not impossible. That old man would do anything for Ruan Tiantian. I think he's gone mad."
"Besides, if it really is the Ruan family that detained Cheng Yue, it won't be easy for you to handle. The Ruan family has a huge and deeply rooted network of connections in Nancheng. It won't be easy for you to confront them easily, not to mention that if they have special connections there, it won't be a solution either."
Ruan Qing'an rested her chin on her hand, thinking and frowning as she pondered, "Grandpa Mo is also going back to the Ruan family. I can ask him to help inquire about the situation. He's an old man and familiar with the Ruan family."
"For the rest, we can just wait for the Han family to put pressure on us."
Ruan Qing'an tucked her fingers together, slightly raised her chin, and said casually, like a queen on a high throne: "At least for now, that old man doesn't dare to offend the Han family, which makes things easier to do."
Luo Yuming countered, "Are you confident about dealing with the Han family?"
“I’ve already said it, what Grandpa wants is not just a granddaughter, but also an heir who is as outstanding as Mom, or even more outstanding. I made a bet with Ruan Tiantian not for my scumbag father, but for Grandpa and the others.”
After Ruan Qing'an finished speaking, she looked at him intently with her leaden gray eyes. The usually short-tempered young lady had quieted down at this moment.
Luo Yuming nodded slightly without saying much. Ruan Qing'an's suggestion was also a method, and for him, it was the least risky one. However, whether the young lady could actually do it remained to be seen.
He didn't intend to dampen Ruan Qing'an's enthusiasm; he simply responded while sending a message to Wen Hui on his phone—Luo Yuming had to be prepared for both possibilities.
...
Soon, regardless of whether they intended to continue business cooperation, the Norman family still came to the South City. The person in charge was a middle-aged man who was also a confidant of the head of the Norman family.
Nguyen Thanh An had gathered information in advance and made preparations well in advance.
037: [This is just my personal opinion, based on a systemic subjective view and objective data—]
"The prelude has been brewing for too long, little system."
037: […Okay, my goodness, in the original story, even with the female lead's halo protecting her, Ruan Tiantian still couldn't take down the Norman family.]
Ruan Qing'an paused as he flipped through the documents: "That's because she's not good enough."
037 seemed to want to say something more, but Ruan Qing'an had already silently pressed the mute button in his mind and continued to leisurely look at the data: "Don't think too much, little system."
The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.
All that data and all her hard work these past few days has paid off.
Just then, Mo Hong called her: "Hello, Miss, the kitchen at the villa has indeed been making extra single-person meals lately, and it seems they've been delivered to the basement."
"It seems he's indeed locked up... Is he in danger?"
"Not at the moment. The master is busy with the bet between Ruan Tiantian and Miss, and has been contacting the Norman family. He doesn't have time to come back."
Hearing this, Ruan Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things at the villa for me, Grandpa Mo. If anything changes, you must let me know immediately."
Mo Hong nodded: "Okay, don't worry, Miss!"
Just as Ruan Qing'an was about to hang up, she heard quick footsteps on the other end of the line. Then Mo Hong lowered his voice and said, "Miss, there's one more thing. The Norman family has arrived. After the master gave his greetings, Ruan Tiantian went to the horse farm."
“…I understand, Grandpa Mo.”
Ruan Qing'an's eyes darkened, and his smile turned cold.
The information she found was that the people sent by the Norman family for business negotiations loved horseback riding and had their own horse farm abroad. Ruan Tiantian probably chose to cater to their hobbies because of this.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Qingan got up and walked towards the door, saying to Luo Yuming in the living room, "Your friend is fine. I'll keep an eye on things if there are any problems later."
"So stop looking so sad and get ready to go to the horse farm with me."
After saying that, Ruan Qing'an threw a stack of documents in his hand to Luo Yuming and turned to go back to his room to change his clothes.
Luo Yuming was slightly taken aback and looked down.
This young lady really doesn't hold back when she's ordering people around...
He muttered to himself, but his eyes held a indulgent smile.
【Affection Level: 60】
When Nguyen Thanh An and Loc Yu Minh arrived at the horse farm, the Norman family's car was already parked outside, and Nguyen Thien Thien was waiting at the door to greet a foreign man in a suit.
Luo Zhihong sat in a wheelchair beside Ruan Tiantian.
Just like before, when he followed Ruan Qing'an closely, Luo Zhihong listened to his father's words and immediately changed his target.
“Mr. William, please come with me.”
Ruan Tiantian politely greeted the middle-aged man, and while they were talking, she spotted Ruan Qing'an and his companion getting out of the car in the distance.
She panicked and quickly led the clueless Mr. William into the racecourse, constantly giving Luo Zhihong meaningful glances—Ruan Qingan and Luo Yuming had just arrived, but could only watch them go in, while Luo Zhihong, in his wheelchair, blocked the entrance.
"Ruan Qing'an, stop chasing."
"Sweetie is the legitimate general manager of Hongyuan Group. What gives you the right to meet Mr. William? It's laughable. What makes you think you can sign a business cooperation contract on behalf of Hongyuan Group?"
