Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

752 Things Went Bad

***************

CHAPTER 752

The previous night after escaping the clutches of Ye Cheng and Fong Wei Ling’s Men, the kidnappers who escaped remained on a low key and hid wherever they could.

It wasn’t until the next morning after escaping far from the kidnapping site that they made a call through to their boss.

They had done all as expected but things took a drastic turn regardless.

As for Li Qi, she kept up all through the night as she anticipated the call of their success but even after everything, nothing came.

Just when she decided to call Kim Fan and have him explain to her what exactly was going on, a call came through from her second phone.

Slowly, Lin Qi left her eyes drift off in the direction from whence the call came through. After some seconds she reached for the phone and took the call. “Hello?”

“Thank goodness. Good morning boss,” the young man greetee.

.....

Immediately Lin Qi’s eyes shot open at the sound of the voice.

Boss. Although she made her deal with one, she knew he was going to convince more of the others to join in on her plans.

And for him to call this number, then there was every possible way that he succeeded.

“Morning, what’s the status report on your mission and also where is your leader? Why isn’t he the one speaking to me? Why didn’t he contact me earlier on? Did you guys succeed?”

Her questions came in one after the other, not giving the young guy any time to speak before bombarding him with the rest.

In the end, he waited for all of her questions first before answering.

“No he is not.

“Why?”

“Something happened last night and things went awire. I just called to let you know about it.”

“What? What the hell happened out there?”

“We were found out and we tried to escape. A lot of other things did happen ma’am.”

“I see. And the captive?”

“We could not take her with us. My apologies. It was either her or us.”

A deep sigh fell off Lin Qi’s lips. Letting her eyes drop close, she managed to contain her rage.

Not only had she lost this time, she did not get Li Jing nor did she scare her enough.

Her plans failed beyond words. That alone was more terrible than she could think of.

Failure wasn’t an option to her but now it was inevitable all because she decided to trust one person.

Shaking her head, she leaned back against the chair she was sitting in as the creases on her brows straightened out.

“Okay, I want you to tell me exactly what happened yesterday. What went wrong and who do you think gave off your position?”

“Sure, I would. However before then, I would need your help in getting out of the city. There is no doubt the police would be searching for us now.”

“True but I want to listen to everything. That way I can be sure you are not working for me enemy.”

“Excuse me?”

“Yes,” she tightened her hold on the remote control by her side. She was playing a dangerous game and she knew it.

But at this point, she couldn’t be more bothered by this.

Give or take she was going to cut them off when push comes to shove.

If she denied everything, then they won’t have a lead on her.

“It is only reasonable to think that you have been caught and forced to make this call to me.”

“I never did anything like that. Look, you need us. If we get caught, know that you will too. So what’s your decision? What call would you make Ma’am?”

For some seconds she kept silent, trying to figure out the best way to handle things. After some seconds, she heaved out a sigh and released her fist.

“Fine. What do you need? I would make this gamble to the best if my abilities. And if I find out you betrayed me, I would make your life a living hell, I promise.”

“Since you’ve got trust issues, I won’t bother exchange words with you. Anyhow, we need money and a way out of the city. You think you can pull it off?”

“Sure. I would get back to you. Give me sometime.”

“Huh, we do not have so much time. I should not tell you who your enemy is. They won’t take this incident lying down and...”

Beep! Beep!

She did not wait for another more of his rants and ended the call. She already knew who are enemies were and not words from him could help with that.

If she did not know, she would not have gone the extra mile to get Li Jing taken care of. And instead of bothering about Li Jing and Ye Cheng, she knew her biggest problems were her brothers, Lin Zian and Lin Liqin.

Her eyelids came to a close while her brain worked more than it had ever been before.

In th end she did not get any useful information out of that guy. And now he needed and wanted her help.

“Arghh! Bunch of miscreants who cannot do their jobs right,” Lin Qi hollered in anger.

Seconds passed and her chest continued to rise and fall with each deep breath taken and released.

“I need to call Xuilan. I can’t be the only one worrying about this case. After that, we can choose whether or not to trust Kim Fan. Not until I know what exactly went down, I can’t tell whom to trust.”

~Fong’s Residence~

Once Fong Wei Ling and Ren had finished with everything Ye Cheng asked from them they retired to the Fong Residence.

At this point, it was going to be a hard case for them to interfere with the police investigation. Not that he couldn’t entirely but their means had to be different from what the cops would use in drawing out the information needed.

Seated in the big study room, Fong Wei Ling sat with his back to Ren on one of the big sofa in the room as he picked up his laptop.

“Now what?” Ren questioned out of the blue.

“We wait,” Fong Wei Ling responded and returned his gaze back to his laptop.

“Wait? I do not think that is entirely a grand idea.”

“I know,” Fong Wei Ling replied as he narrows his eyes on the laptop screen.

“Then?”

“Look, things went out of our hands when we chose to involve the cops. And yes before you ask, we have links and connections inside the force. However, it is preferable to let them handle it.”

“Why?”

Fong Wei Ling arched his brows at Ren’s question before turning around to face the latter. “Why, you ask?”

“Yes, why?”

“Should Li Jing’s aunties be responsible, we need the police to actually arrest them. As much as I would love to ruin them business wise and all, it would be grand to take away their freedom. They deserve to spend their lives in jail. All I pray is for us to get more crucial incriminating evidences against them and have the law do their best.”

“I understand. I do not know much about her family but from the little research I did.l, I think her first granduncle would not sit for any injustice. He is a respectable general in the force.”

“Yet his wife is a nuisance. What a shame it would bring to him should everything go out of place. Anyways, why not let us have a dig on what is going on in the station.”

“Huh?”

Seeing how lost he was, Fong Wei Ling shook his head and pursed lips together.

“Did living in hiding all these while actually surpress your intelligence or is it that there was none in the first place?”

0_0

Lifting his hand in a threatening manner, Ren grumbled out. “Why you...”

No sooner had he done that than two men walked out from different corners of the study with their hands on their side.

From where he sat, Ren could see their guns waiting to be pulled out.

Gulp!

“Got a problem or have you forgotten this is the Fong’s residence?” Fong Wei Ling reminded him.

“Tsk... Enjoy why we can. I would make sure to get one on you.”

“I shall anticipate it. However, be reminded, I am not Ye Cheng. I won’t let any stunt you pull go.”

“At least he is the better man.”

“Nope. He is a gentleman. I am not. However, I doubt his gentility would last much longer.”

“What do you mean?”

.....

“Did you forget what happened yesterday night? Had Li Jing not been there, he would have hurt someone brutally. You can hurt him and he would let it go but for someone he cherishes, in this case Li Jing and his mother, he can get out of hand.”

“I see.”

“Yes. However I think this would be the last straw. His actions against his other enemy won’t be one resolved by the police. His mother was threatened. War has just begun.”
