Chapter 107: Secret operation

“Then tell me what to do?! If Gao Jialan and her child are harmed, we would be the sinners!”

Suyang closed the main door and took me inside the bedroom. Then, he closed the bedroom door as well. He whispered, “Speak quietly. Most likely, Wen Yihan will have people monitoring us for a while. There are ears behind walls.”

I felt utterly defeated by the power of the wealthy. I was so stressed and tired. I tightly tugged on Suyang’s collar. “Then what should we do? Suyang, tell me. Give me a solution.”

“First, give Shaoqian a call.” Suyang took out his cell phone.

“Why are we calling Shen Shaoqian?”

“Wen Yihan is not going to make a move that quickly. He is not going to bring Gao Jialan to his house. Most likely, he’s going to hide her somewhere. Shen Shaoqian can find out where Wen Yihan might be holding her hostage.”

“Shen Shaoqian has that ability?! I didn’t realize he was that useful…”

“He has a very wide network. Usually, I get him to do the investigative work.”

“So what happens after we figure out their location?”

“Then we go save her, duh!” Suyang knocked me lightly on my head. “We will find an appropriate opportunity to rescue Gao Jialan and then hide her elsewhere. Then, when Wen Yihan comes to look for her, we just won’t admit to anything. What can he do then?”

“I have one more question. How are we going to save her? Based on Wen Yihan’s tactics… how can the two of us save her?”

“Don’t we also have Shen Shaoqian!?”

“Fine, let’s include Shen Shaoqian. Three people?! Do you think this is the time to joke around?”

“A hundred people have hundreds of methods. Three people have methods for three people. We will figure out something. Don’t worry!”

Ahh… my head hurts.I wanted to drink some water to freshen up my brain. But the moment I turned around, Suyang assumed I was going to run after them again. He shouted, “What are you doing?!”

I took a deep breath. “I just want to drink a cup of water. Calm down. Before I know where Wen Yihan is hiding Gao Jialan, I’m not going to make any rash moves.”

“Oh, alright then.” Suyang knew he had misunderstood me so he shook his head and coughed. He wanted to dissolve the awkwardness. “Then... I’ll go give Shen Shaoqian a call right now.”

When I turned towards the dining area, the first thing I noticed was the 600rmb that Gao Jialan had initially wanted to give me to allow her to stay here.

I felt so guilty.She gave me money yet I wasn’t able to protect her…. Sigh.I gulped down the water and my brain felt more refreshed. But deep down, my heart was still in a disarray.

It was a feeling similar to a stranger stealing something you like in front of you. Yet, you were helpless and couldn’t do anything about it. There was so much resentment and regret.

I prayed that Gao Jialan could hold on for a while while we think of a way to save her...

Suddenly, Wen Yufan appeared in the living room. I was shocked, but more so, frightened. I dropped my cup of water as he gazed at me.

I didn’t have the courage to face him. I didn’t know how to explain why I wasn’t able to protect Gao Jialan.

“Um… we’ll think of a solution to rescue her. Please don’t worry. Your child will be fine.” My voice was turning lighter and lighter. I was attempting to get closer to comfort him.

Strangely, Wen Yufan didn’t seem like he was afraid or suffering at all.

Was it because he had became a ghost for too long? Ghosts tend to be expressionless, but his is too much…. Has he gotten to another level? An idiot?

No! Aside from being expressionless, he also looked a bit relieved? What the heck?! How could you look relieved when your wife and child might be in danger!?

“Hey! What’s with your expression! Your wife and child may be in danger!” I clapped my hand, wanting to wake Wen Yufan up.

Before I could interrogate him, Wen Yufan vanished.

“Don’t go!” I was left alone yelling in the living room. Suyang came out with his phone in his hand.

“What happened? Who came?”

“Wen Yufan! His expression is really weird… This will not do. We must save Gao Jialan and find out exactly what’s going on!” -----

We had set the operation day on Mid-Autumn festival. But the night beforehand, the guys were actually planning to go without me. I caught them in the middle of the night while I was heading to get a drink of water.

The moment I opened the bedroom door, I saw Suyang and Shen Shaoqian in the living room doing something in the dark.

“What are you two doing?” They were so focused that they didn’t realize I was in front of them. My voice caught them off guard.

So suspicious…
