Chapter 74 The New Phone Calls Yan Qi
As Shi Yue watched Liang Yu and the other two turn and leave, she immediately took out her phone, took a short video, and sent it to Cao Lan. She then sent a text message.
[Big sister, Liang Yu is shopping at the mall right now. There's no one guarding the hospital. The girl in black next to Liang Yu seems to know martial arts; she's very skilled.]
Liang Yu had no idea what Shi Yue had done behind her back. She took Lin Xiao and Zhao Wen directly to the mobile phone store.
After buying the latest model mobile phone, Liang Yu and Lin Xiao went to a nearby coffee shop to sit down and tinker with their new phone while drinking coffee.
After setting up his new phone, Liang Yu immediately called Geng Shi.
The call was answered quickly, and Geng Shi began to speak:
"Young Miss, what are your orders?"
Liang Yu said:
"Assistant Geng, I want to confirm something with you. Did you just call me and ask me to go to Country A to meet Liang An and sign a share transfer agreement?"
Geng Shi replied:
"Yes, young lady, are you in trouble?"
Liang Yu replied with a smile:
"No, I just wanted to confirm with you again. I'm about to apply for a visa."
Geng Shi said:
"Okay, Miss. Once you've booked your ticket, please remember to tell me your flight number, and I'll pick you up at the airport."
"Also, Miss, no matter what trouble you encounter, you can tell me at any time, and I can solve any problem for you."
Liang Yu replied:
"Okay, thank you. See you in Country A."
After Liang Yu hung up the phone, the phone screen remained on the contacts page.
She gently swiped through the contacts, finally stopping at Yan Qi's name.
Liang Yu stared at Yan Qi's name without moving, his thumb trembling as he rubbed the edge of the screen back and forth.
To fight or not to fight?
Actually, Liang Yu really wanted to give it a try.
She wanted to know if Yan Qi had really blocked her.
She desperately wanted to know whether it was because of the old phone number that she couldn't get through to Yan Qi, or whether Yan Qi had really blocked her.
But she was also panicked, afraid that if she called back, she would still hear the same "cannot be connected" recording.
Deep down, she was afraid of being disliked and disliked by others.
She didn't want to embarrass herself again and again.
My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, each beat pounding against my ribs, as if trying to find an answer.
Just one last time.
If she calls again and gets a "cannot be connected" message, she will never contact Yan Qi again.
Pretend you've never known Yan Qi.
The thumb holding the phone slowly rose, and the fingertip finally landed on Yan Qi's name.
The conference room of Haicheng Private Equity Association.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, cutting obliquely into the large conference room.
The light fell on Yan Qi's exquisite black shirt, outlining the cold, hard lines of his shoulders and back, making the gloom that seeped into his bones even more intense.
Inside the conference room, the executives were reporting their work results in an orderly manner.
Yan Qi sat in the main seat, looking down at the data report on the table, his eyes filled with a lingering melancholy.
He exuded a cold aura, making the senior executives who were reporting to him even more cautious, fearing that the results of their reports would not satisfy Yan Qi.
Yan Qi's phone, which was lying beside him, suddenly vibrated a few times before falling silent again.
He casually lifted his eyelids and glanced at his phone screen.
When Yan Qi saw the name on the caller ID, his hand, which was turning the page, suddenly stopped, and the chilling aura surrounding him instantly dissipated.
Yan Qi lowered his eyes, the shadow of his thick, long eyelashes falling on them. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He didn't move, but the smooth report came to an abrupt halt.
The executive who was giving the report tightened his grip on the document, thinking he had said something wrong, and even his breathing became much lighter.
When Yan Qi looked up, his eyes remained calm and composed.
His gaze swept quickly across the executives surrounding the conference table, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice, as always, was deep and authoritative:
That's all for today. We'll continue the report another day.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qi reached for the phone, then got up and walked out of the meeting room.
The executives were left looking at each other in bewilderment, but no one dared to question why the meeting was suddenly suspended, assuming that another global order had come from Hong Kong.
Inside the mall's coffee shop.
When Liang Yu heard the dial tone from the receiver, he felt his heart pounding so hard it hurt his eardrums.
The busy signal had only gone off twice when she pressed the hang-up button as if she'd been electrocuted.
Liang Yu stared at the call log on the screen with "call duration 00:00", barely daring to breathe.
The nerve that had been taut for so long suddenly relaxed.
A strange joy welled up inside me, and even the corners of my lowered eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
Her hand holding the phone was still trembling slightly, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
Yan Qi actually didn't block her.
Yan Qi neither disliked nor rejected her.
It turns out that the problem really was with that old phone.
Liang Yu was still immersed in her joy when her phone suddenly vibrated.
The screen suddenly lit up.
It was a call from Yan Qi.
Yan Qi actually called back.
Liang Yu's mind went blank, and he instinctively answered the phone:
"Hello, Yan Qi."
Yan Qi's deep voice came through the receiver:
"What's up?"
Liang Yu suddenly started to stammer:
"No, no..."
Yan Qi hummed in agreement, then fell silent.
The phone went silent instantly.
Two soft breaths mingled gently through the telephone receiver.
The blues music from the coffee shop slowly blended into the receiver, becoming the background music on the phone.
Liang Yu's restless heartbeat gradually calmed down with the blues music.
She quietly took a deep breath and cautiously asked:
"Yan Qi, have you been busy lately?"
Yan Qi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes pressed down so low that they just covered the shimmering light surging in his eyes.
He gripped the phone tightly and replied slowly and deliberately:
"not busy."
Liang Yu pursed his lips and asked again:
"Well, the three months aren't up yet. Are you still willing to be my driver?"
The coldness in Yan Qi's eyes vanished instantly.
Even if the lip line is stretched into a straight line, it cannot suppress the almost imperceptible upward curve at the corner of the lips.
Yan Qi's thin lips parted slightly, his deep, husky voice ringing out clearly in the empty office:
"willing."
The joyful emotion was like sugar soaking in warm water, silently melting in Liang Yu's heart.
She happily said "okay" and said with a smile:
"I'm not working right now, but I need to travel between Lishu Village and the hospital, so my schedule might not be as regular as before. Can you manage that?"
Suppressing the excitement that spread from his brain to his fingertips, Yan Qi replied in a deep voice:
"Can."
Liang Yu replied happily:
"That's great. The car is still in the basement of the Fang's building. You can drive it over when you have time. I'll send you a message when I'm going back to Lishu Village."
Yan Qi deliberately lowered his voice and said:
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Yu seemed to be in much higher spirits.
After the two finished fiddling with their new phones, Lin Xiao immediately dragged Liang Yu to a women's clothing store.
Lin Xiao linked arms with Liang Yu and walked straight toward the brand-name women's clothing store she often bought from.
Zhao Wen followed closely behind as before, constantly observing everyone who approached them.
The three entered the store, and the shop assistant immediately greeted them warmly, smiling as she said to Lin Xiao:
"Miss Lin, you've arrived! We just got some new women's clothing in our store. Would you like to try them on?"
Lin Xiao, with a generous air of offering to treat everyone to the meal, cheerfully replied:
"Give us three, and let each of us take a few items to try."
The shop assistant cheerfully said "okay" and immediately ran to the hanging area to get the new clothes.
Just as Liang Yu and his two companions sat down on the sofa, the glass door of the women's clothing store was suddenly pushed open.
A loud "bang" shattered the tranquility of the store.
Liang Yu and Lin Xiao looked towards the door with curiosity.
Zhao Wen's expression changed, and she stood up from the sofa, her eyes sharply fixed on the doorway.
Cao Lan, dressed in a red dress and followed by a group of bodyguards in black sportswear, strode into the store with an imposing air.
Cao Lan scanned the store and finally fixed her gaze on Liang Yu.
Liang Yu frowned, instantly recalling his kidnapping experience in Jiangcheng, and his hands trembled slightly as he clenched them into fists.
Zhao Wen subconsciously took a step forward, blocking Liang Yu behind her, her eyes fixed on Cao Lan standing at the door.
After Cao Lan entered the store, her dozen or so tall bodyguards immediately dispersed.
Some guarded all the entrances and exits, while others surrounded Cao Lan, forming a tight protective circle.
Several bodyguards went one by one to the other customers in the store, using warning looks and intimidating postures to drive them away.
In less than two minutes, all the other customers in the store left, leaving only the staff huddled in a corner, too afraid to move.
The once bustling women's clothing store suddenly became deserted.
Cao Lan stared intently at Liang Yu, a sinister smile playing on her lips, and walked straight toward him.
The clattering sound of high heels on the floor sent chills down one's spine.
Cao Lan stopped a few steps away from Liang Yu.
She tilted her chin up, looking at Liang Yu with disdain, her tone languid yet tinged with hostility:
"Liang Yu, what a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here."
Liang Yu slowly straightened up, met Cao Lan's gaze, and replied in a calm tone:
"You went to all this trouble just to bump into me?"
Cao Lan curled her lips into a sneer and said:
"Of course not. I'm here today to make a deal with you."
Liang Yu took a step forward, stood beside Zhao Wen, and calmly replied:
"Tell me, what kind of deal?"
Cao Lan curled her lips and said in an unfriendly tone:
"It's a secret deal; we can only talk about it privately."
Liang Yu instinctively refused:
"Say it if you have something to say, otherwise I'm leaving. I don't have that much time to entertain you."
After saying that, she took Lin Xiao and Zhao Wen's arms and walked towards the store entrance.
The three had only taken two steps when Cao Lan's bodyguards sprang into action, swarming around them like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
Zhao Wen was prepared. She immediately pulled her arm away, turned around to face the bodyguards who were rushing towards her, and punched the bodyguard in the face.
Caught off guard, the bodyguard at the front was punched in the face by Zhao Wen and staggered back a few steps, blood immediately seeping from the corner of his mouth.
He bumped into the clothes rack behind him, which made a "clattering" sound, and clothes fell to the ground.
Lin Xiao turned deathly pale, trembling all over. She clung tightly to Liang Yu's arm and asked in a trembling voice:
"Xiao Yu, should we call the police?"
The bodyguards that Cao Lan brought were all professionally trained.
Several bodyguards surrounded Zhao Wen and attacked her in turn. Even though Zhao Wen was very skilled, she was outnumbered and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Seeing Zhao Wen surrounded and attacked, Liang Yu anxiously said to Lin Xiao:
"Call the police immediately."
After saying that, he was about to rush up to help Zhao Wen, but he was blocked by two bodyguards as soon as he took a step.
The other two bodyguards also held Lin Xiao's arms tightly, preventing her from calling the police.
Zhao Wen was exhausted by the bodyguards and was about to be captured alive.
Liang Yu angrily shouted at Cao Lan:
"Cao Lan, arrest me if you must! Tell them all to stop and not hurt my friend!"
