Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 420 - 388:

"Bao Ye, promise me, won’t you? You have to find out why Boss Zou is looking for Tian Tian before you consider telling him."

"I know there are interests between you, but that can’t mean risking lives, sacrificing a poor life for nothing."

"I could never forgive myself if that happened."

Bao Ye knew she was soft-hearted. Hearing her words, he didn’t hesitate to agree: "Okay."

"I’ll send someone to get information tomorrow."

"But there’s something you need to be mentally prepared for, Jiang Ruan."

"What?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"From what I know about Boss Zou, he likes planting informers everywhere. Given that Su Tiantian has appeared, it’s highly likely he won’t remain oblivious for long."

Jiang Ruan stared wide-eyed: "Then what should we do?"

Bao Ye: "Let’s take it one step at a time."

"Starting today, it’s best if you don’t see her until I’ve figured things out."

Jiang Ruan: "Alright."

With that, they reached an agreement.

Jiang Ruan was curious: "How did you know I was keeping this from you? You didn’t also plant informers around me, did you?"

Confronted, Bao Ye’s eyes flickered with a ripple, yet his sharp face remained calm: "Of course not."

He said, "When I texted you today, I was near your car. Chen Nan saw you drive past me, heading towards the mall."

"I casually sent you a text, wondering if you were going shopping, but you told me you were at the company."

Bao Ye sneered: "Jiang Ruan, you’re quite good at lying, aren’t you?"

Jiang Ruan was embarrassed, feeling cowardly, she leaned over and kissed his cheek, looking at him eagerly: "Don’t be mad, I had my reasons for this."

"It was really just this one time, never before."

Bao Ye glanced at her: "Really?"

How could he not believe her?

"Absolutely. If you don’t believe me, I can swear to it." Jiang Ruan said, holding up three fingers.

But before she could swear, Bao Ye grabbed her hand, his voice low: "Don’t swear blindly."

"The heavens have no eyes."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

The heavens would surely be furious to hear you say that.

But at least the issue seemed to have reached a conclusion.

This allowed Jiang Ruan to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the following days, Bao Ye sent his subordinates in South Africa to discreetly inquire about Boss Zou and Su Tiantian’s situation.

The information received was that Boss Zou had an accident a few years ago in the country, disappearing for several months, and later it was heard he was saved by a local girl.

It’s uncertain whether that girl was Su Tiantian.

Nothing else could be found out.

Bao Ye relayed these words to Jiang Ruan, who was nestled on the sofa, hugging her knees, her chin resting on her legs, pondering: "If Su Tiantian did save Boss Zou, and he has been looking for her, then is it to repay her?"

"But Boss Zou is searching for Duan Tiantian, yet she’s clearly called Su Tiantian—I saw her ID. Did Su Tiantian deceive him back then?"

Bao Ye: "Maybe."

It’s turning into a detective novel.

He’s had enough on his plate for the day.

And now there’s this whole new complication.

"So what do we do now?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Bao Ye said: "You can try to sound out Su Tiantian when you have the chance and see what her reaction is."

Jiang Ruan: "Alright."

So that evening, Jiang Ruan started chatting with Su Tiantian.

Then Su Tiantian video called her.

On the other side of the video, Su Tiantian was in her bedroom wearing a white nightdress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, looking very much like a literary girl.

"Tian Tian, why aren’t you asleep yet?" Jiang Ruan asked with a smile.

Su Tiantian stuck out her tongue: "I just finished my homework, I can’t sleep now, I’m so bored. What are you doing?"

Jiang Ruan’s eyes flickered, and she replied: "I was just reading a novel."

Su Tiantian asked curiously: "What novel?"

Jiang Ruan gave her the name of a book.

"Is it good?" Su Tiantian’s curiosity was indeed piqued: "I don’t usually read novels."

Jiang Ruan: "It’s good, the novel is about a wealthy heir who gets into an accident and ends up in another country, and in a life-and-death moment, a girl saves him..."

Saying this, Jiang Ruan quietly observed Su Tiantian’s expression.

But she was simply listening patiently, even showing interest: "And what happens in the end, do they end up together?"

Asked back, Jiang Ruan: "..."

Actually, she was just making it up.

But Su Tiantian’s reaction was indeed too composed.

The task failed.

Jiang Ruan’s lips twitched, helplessly she said: "I don’t know, I just read a passage, haven’t reached the ending yet."
