At this moment, Ning Shuqian was so frustrated that she was on the verge of killing someone. Ever since the bodyguards whom the mysterious man had assigned to stay by her side disappeared for no reason, she had been trying to contact the mysterious man but to no avail.

She again tried to call the familiar number, only to realize that she could not reach him at all. Gritting her teeth in anger, she threw her mobile phone onto the couch and muttered under her breath, “What the heck is going on? I can’t reach him again.”

He was the one who initiated collaboration and yet, he stopped contacting me out of nowhere. What does he mean? Is he seriously afraid of the power that Wen Xinya has to support her?

At the thought of it, Ning Shuqian could not help but recall the multiple times that she was assassinated, and how her wounds opened up again. Back then, she broke out into cold sweat from head to toe and was in terrible pain. She then felt feeble and weak.

She immediately grew flustered at the thought of it. Wen Xinya is scheming and vicious and even has a mysterious yet powerful backer. There’s no way I can deal with her at all. If that man really stops cooperating with me, it’s only a matter of time before Wen Xinya kills me.

Ning Shuqian gripped her mobile phone tightly with increasing anxiety. She continuously tried to call the number which she had recognized.

“Hello, the number you’re trying to dial cannot be reached at the moment.”

The automated, robotic voice rang in Ning Shuqian’s ears, making her heart sink to rock bottom. She felt as if she was being dipped in cold water.

She could not help but shiver before attempting to call them again.

“Hello, the number that you have called is currently unavailable!”

The simple automated message sent Ning Shuqian into an emotional turmoil, and her only hope had turned into dust.

Ning Shuqian’s eyes widened in shock and she turned as pale as a sheet. She yelled at the top of her lungs, “Unavailable? How could it be unavailable!?! I must have dialed the wrong number.”

In a moment of panic, she tried to dial the number again. This time, she tallied the number before dialing it.

However, she still received an automated response.

She tightened her grip on the mobile phone to the extent that her hand began to hurt. She shrieked. “No! No! This is not real!”

Her body stiffened before turning into jelly. She collapsed onto the couch and cupped her face with her hands.

At this point, things between her and Wen Xinya had already reached a point of no return. Only one of them could survive, and she had lost her greatest backer. How am I supposed to defeat Wen Xinya? What do I do now? What do I do?
