Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 614
It wasn’t long before Gui Xingli received the news.
Xiao Linye also received the news on his end.
Lin Yunzhou had discovered Ye Yuning’s whereabouts in Turanxi, and this, coupled with Chen Wei’s transfer, completely exposed her movements.
When Xiao Linye heard she was in Turanxi, his eyes darkened. "She went to Yundong International on her first day?"
"Yes," Lin Yunzhou confirmed with a nod.
She went to Yundong International on the very first day. So, her being untraceable this time... was it mostly related to Shang Yu?
The thought of Shang Yu made Xiao Linye’s breathing deepen.
Lin Yunzhou reported, "Judging by Miss Ye’s arrangements there, it seems unlikely she’ll be returning to the country anytime soon." Lin Yunzhou wasn’t particularly well-versed in business matters, but with Ye Yuning handling several large deals in Turanxi, she was undoubtedly busy. Moreover, her personal assistant had already joined her there.
Xiao Linye asked, "Where is Qin Jinchuan?"
"F Country!" Lin Yunzhou replied. "The leads I’ve gathered indicate that Qin Jinchuan is indeed in F Country."
It had to be said that despite the haste, Qin Jinchuan’s preparations were remarkably thorough. Even Lin Yunzhou, Xiao Linye’s trusted subordinate, hadn’t been able to fully uncover his tracks.
Xiao Linye nodded. "Alright, I understand." He didn’t pursue the matter of Ye Yuning further, nor did he show any particular reaction.
Lin Yunzhou was taken aback. He’d been so urgently searching for her before. Now that they’d found her, wasn’t Master Xiao going to Turanxi?
Xiao Linye lit a cigarette. "You may go back now."
"Understood." Lin Yunzhou nodded and turned to leave.
Once Xiao Linye was alone in the villa’s spacious hall, he took a harsh drag from his cigarette. Even though he now had news of Ye Yuning, an undeniable shadow of melancholy still clouded his features.
When he learned she was *that person’s* sister... He wasn’t too keen on her having so many connections with that group from back then, whether those ties were good or bad. Those involvements were like whirlpools. Even now, he harbored doubts about Hanyi’s death, so the full truth of those past events, the good and the bad, remained obscure. He had never wanted to stir the murky waters of the past again. But then Gui Xingli had appeared, and Shang Yu as well... It seemed some things truly couldn’t be buried by time.
Ye Yuning was staying in the hospital. Having decided to remain in Turanxi, she started contacting Tang Xi.
Over the phone, Tang Xi was relentlessly scolding her. "Do you have any idea? I was scared to death! Oh, and Ling Yan has come to Upper City too."
Tang Xi had indeed been terrified these past few days. With no word from Ye Yuning, she had been completely clueless about her whereabouts or if she had met with an accident. The latter was her greatest fear; any accident would be a major crisis.
Hearing that Ling Yan had come to Upper City, Ye Yuning snorted. "She’s probably here about the collaboration."
After all, it was such a large design fee, and a hefty deposit had been paid upfront. Other projects had Manlang designers assisting, so they were at least contactable. But Ling Yan’s project was entirely her own. Losing contact with her so suddenly, Ling Yan must be frantic.
However, Tang Xi insisted, "I don’t think that’s it!"
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Tang Xi continued, "She went completely berserk trying to find you, causing a huge scene over here..."
"Seriously, Tang Xi, we’re talking about over fifteen million. Of course she’d go crazy, right?"
Wasn’t it because she was worried I’d run off with the money? Could it possibly be out of genuine concern for me?
Thinking of Ling Yan, Ye Yuning felt a fresh wave of anger.
Tang Xi asked, "She paid you that much for the design fee?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
That couldn’t be right, could it? Such an exorbitant fee for a designer was outrageous. When the Xiao Family had offered five million before, she’d already thought that Seventh Master Xiao was incredibly generous. Ling Yan, despite coming from a wealthy family, was notoriously stingy back in school.
Ye Yuning replied, "Exactly. So she must be terrified I’d abscond with it."
Tang Xi was momentarily lost for words. Right, she must be genuinely scared! After all, over fifteen million wasn’t a sum that just appeared out of thin air. No wonder Ling Yan was so frantic.
"Alright, let Andai know too."
"Okay. And you should tell Gui Xingli. She’s apparently clashed with the Xiao Family these past few days trying to find you."
"What?" Ye Yuning was stunned. Gui Xingli clashed with the Xiao Family too? This...
"I don’t think Gui Xingli’s frenzy is solely because of the design fee," Tang Xi said.
Ye Yuning fell silent.
Of course, it wasn’t. From the very beginning, Gui Xingli was completely different from Ling Yan in Ye Yuning’s eyes. That Ling Yan woman had constantly been at odds with her during their school days. But Gui Xingli... she was somewhat peculiar. She treated Ye Yuning exceptionally well—so well, in fact, that it seemed to go beyond the bounds of even close family.
"Okay, I understand."
She had planned to call Gui Xingli right after Tang Xi anyway. She just hadn’t anticipated that her being away from Upper City for a few days would cause such chaos.
Gui Xingli answered her call. "As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters! That’s wonderful news. But... how on earth did you leave the hotel?" Gui Xingli asked, her voice still tight with worry. To this moment, she hadn’t managed to find out how Ye Yuning had slipped away from the hotel.
Ye Yuning almost blurted out "Qin Jinchuan!" But the name died on her lips, and she swallowed it back.
"You shouldn’t ask about this," she said instead. "And don’t try to investigate it."
She hadn’t forgotten the relationship between Qin Jinchuan and Xiao Linye.
