Chapter 258 A Disappointing Outcome (2/2)
A week later, Young Master Shen returned.
”How is it?” Xin Qing looked at him nervously.
Young Master Shen remained silent, looked down, and then shook his head.
”It's not working? It can't be taken out, or, should we wait till the next time?” Xin Qing asked at a loss.
”Boss Wan is still looking into it. There is no solution at the moment.”
Zhang Mi started feeling anxious, ”What's so hard? Just cut it open, take it out, and it's done.”
”It's right on top of the heart. Nobody can guarantee they can take it out right away safely,” Young Master Shen hugged Zhang Mi, reassuring her, ”What are you worried about?” He glared at her, and then looked at Xin Qing.
Zhang Mi reacted, and held Xin Qing's hand while saying, ”Don't be upset, didn't they say they're looking into it? There must be a way.”
”I'm okay. I'm tired, and I'll go to bed.” Xin Qing waved her hand and turned around to go upstairs.
Young Master Shen and Zhang Mi knew she was upset but did not know how to comfort her. Moreover, Young Master Shen knew how serious the issue actually was. If Ying Qingcang really chose to give up, then what would happen to Xin Qing... He dared not think about it.
Burying herself under the blankets, at this very moment, Xin Qing's strength and courage all turned into tears. Waiting was not scary. It was this kind of indefinite, and even endless, waiting, which was truly scary.
”Ah Cang, I am brave because of you. If you're no longer with me, what is the point of all of my courage...” Xin Qing wrote these few words on her tablet, then spaced out while lying there, until she finally got tired from crying, and fell asleep.
The room was quiet. A figure walked in, carefully getting close to the bedside. He picked up the tablet and was about to leave a message, but after a slight startle, he stood for a long time. In the end, he did not write anything and left silently.
Rong Siman got off the plane and declined the man's request to go to the hotel. She wanted to meet Ying Qingcang immediately.
Over these dozen days, she phoned Ying Qingcang almost every day. She could hear that Ying Qingcang was very busy as if he was discussing business with somebody, but the other party's voice was completely unfamiliar. She had never heard it before.
Not sure why, but she had been feeling uneasy lately...
After getting home, and realizing that Ying Qingcang was not around, she turned on the wiretapping device. It was noisy inside and sounded like a bar.
She was about to make a phone call, then recalled she'd spent some time with that model on the plane's lavatory, and decided to take a shower first. Once she finished, she saw that Ying Qingcang had just returned.
”Where have you been?” Rong Siman tugged her pajamas, hurriedly walking over, ”Ah Cang! I've been missing you.”
Ying Qingcang looked shocked. ”Why didn't you call to tell me that you're coming back? I would have gone to fetch you.”
”I hitched a ride with those ladies,” Rong Siman led him to sit on the sofa, ”You still haven't told me where you've been!”
”Gone to the bar for a business meeting,” Qingcang rubbed the place between his brows, ”An overseas Chinese from Malaysia came over recently with a pretty good business deal.”
Rong Siman was going to ask more, but Ying Qingcang stood up. ”I'm going to shower. You should sleep earlier too, and go to the company tomorrow with me to meet them.”
Everything seemed to be normal. But Rong Siman kept feeling like something was going to happen. The next day, she took the chance to call Ying Qingcang's secretary in, while Ying Qingcang was in a meeting.
”Xiaoding, you've been with us for two years, right?”
Secretary Ding did not know what she meant, and could only reply with caution. ”Yes.”
Rong Siman looked at him smilingly, ”Don't be stressed. You're doing very good. I just wanted to ask you, while I was away, has Ah Cang been busy with work every day?”
”Boss and a Malaysian businessman have been working together on a project. Indeed it had been exhausting for him lately. That Malaysian is tough to deal with,” Secretary Ding complained, ”Boss had arranged to meet him for a meal tonight. Miss Rong should go and teach him a lesson then!”
Only then was Rong Siman put at ease. It seemed like her worries from before were because she had been toying around with other men behind Ah Cang's back, and had simply been feeling rather guilty about it. She dismissed the secretary with a wave of her hand, then decided to never look for that model again.
After Secretary Ding left, he hastily made his way to a quiet place. He looked around his surroundings carefully before taking out his phone and dialed a number.
”Hello, it's me. Miss Rong just asked me.”
”Yes, I just replied as you've requested.”
”Okay! As soon as possible.”
Secretary Ding hang up, adjusted his mood for a bit, and returned to work.
Someone had paid him a lot of money to make him lie to Rong Siman. He only knew that Ying Qingcang had only met the Malaysian businessman once. Boss had not been in S City lately at all.
But none of these had anything to do with him. Perhaps both of them had lied. One of them went to see his mistress, and the other went to hook up with men. Heh, weren't rich people just like this? It was good as long as they paid him.
”Young Master, the money had been transferred.”
Young Master Shen nodded, ”Remember to send people to watch Rong Siman.”
”Understood. Ah Huang asked if he still had to pretend as a model to seduce Rong Siman.”
”Hehe. Let him stay in the modeling circle. He must be happy to be surrounded by so many women every day. As for Rong Siman, tell him not to lose touch with her. Surely, he'll still be in need!”
