Chapter 399 The Last Counterattack

Yi Yunrui means something else by his words. Zhang Hai obediently shuts up.

It will really take some time to tell the whole story of that event. Just now, Jing Shu appeared and caused some delay. It is past eight already.

In addition, Zhang Hai needs to concentrate on driving. He may not say something else.

Zhang Hai goes back to the car. Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui get in the car, too. Zhang Hai starts the engine and the car goes away.

Because they are in a hurry, Zhang Hai drives fast, but stably. When they arrive at the media building, it is right on time.

Yi Yunrui opens the door for Xia Ning, “Sweetheart, you may go to your office.”

Xia Ning hesitates for a while, “Darling, … do you think that I was too mean?”

“Mean?” Yi Yunrui removes the hair on her forehead, “Before the truth is found out, nothing is supposed to be mean. We are all protecting ourselves. Sweetheart, don’t worry. You may go to work now.”

Xia Ning responds and gets off the car.

Yi Yunrui looks at his wife’s back. He turns to Zhang Hai, “Zhang Hai, without the permission of Mrs. Yi, you are not allowed to bring any woman into this car.”

Zhang Hai inhales a cold breath, “Yes, Sir!”

Yi Yunrui darkens his eyes. Just now, his wife was silent in the car. She must hide something from him. Vaguely, he found that his wife looked strange in the recent days. She often hesitated to speak. She must have noticed some things.

A woman in love with her husband tends to find the abnormality of her husband easily. Just now, his wife stealthily glanced at him and he noticed it.

He slightly lifts his lips. He feels sweet in his heart, realizing that his lovely wife loves him.

He hopes that his wife will love him as much as she does now after she knows the truth.

However, … he is unsure about that.

This time, he is not confident with that at all.

“Sister Xia, I heard that you gave Jing Shu a long vacation. Did you?” Gu Ruoruo puts the coffee she brings with her on the desk for Xia Ning.

“Oh. The probation is over. I need to think it over again.” To the coworkers of the company, she can’t but say that she gives Jing Shu a vacation. She doesn’t tell them her real intention.

Gu Ruoruo glances at Xia Ning, “In my opinion, in this company, giving someone a long vacation means to fire her. Sister Xia, you fired Jing Shu, didn’t you?”

“Don’t talk too much about uncertain things. Or, some people may create some rumors. Well. How is Director Gu? When will he come back to the company?”

“He still needs to take some rest. He will come back when he is truly recovered.”

Xia Ning nods, “That is right. Health is the most important thing. It is the basis of work.”

Gu Ruoruo stands in front of Xia Ning and doesn’t speak for quite a while. At the beginning, Xia Ning doesn’t notice that. But one minute later, Xia Ning feels surprised.

“Ruoruo, what’s wrong? Anything else?”

Gu Ruoruo purses her lips. Suddenly, she blushes. She speaks, “Well.” And she closes her mouth again.

Xia Ning frowns, “Ruoruo, if there is anything, tell me frankly. We have known each other for a long time. You don’t need to feel shy.”

Gu Ruoruo takes a deep breath, “Sister Xia, in July, I want to ask to leave for a month.”

Xia Ning feels confused to hear her words, “One month? Can you tell me why?”

Gu Ruoruo’s face turns redder, “It is for honeymoon.”

Xia Ning feels shocked!

Yes!

Previously, her elder brother said that he would hold the wedding with Ruoruo. Seemingly, she hasn’t received the invitation yet. Based on Ruoruo’s words, the wedding will be held within this month.

“Congratulations! Seemingly, I need to call you elder sister-in-law next month.” Xia Ning is a few years older than Ruoruo. She feels a little unused to addressing a younger girl elder sister-in-law.

She can’t help feeling that time flies. As if she has been in her thirties in a blink of eyes.

Gu Ruoruo smiles sweetly. She turns around, “I may go out to work.”

“Ruoruo, will one month be enough? Do you want to have a longer vacation?”

Guo Ruoruo hears Xia Ning’s words from behind. She slightly hesitates and smiles to run away.

Ha. She is still a shy girl.

Xia Ning lowers her head to drink the coffee. Suddenly, she widens her eyes!

The crystal brooch on her chest turns pink!

That means there are really some monitoring instruments in her office!

Yi Yunrui’s words pop up in her brain. Xia Ning makes a cough. She puts down the coffee, “Oh, I want to tease Ruoruo again.”

Then, she stands up and walks out of the office.

She goes to a hidden place. She takes out her phone and dials Yi Yunrui’s number.

“Sweetheart, it is only twenty minutes and you begin to miss me?”

“Ahem. We may talk business in office hours.” Xia Ning pauses and says, “Darling, my brooch turns pink.”

Yi Yunrui slightly pauses, “Hum. I see. I will send some people to check around your office. You may pretend to talk to them about other things.”

“OK. I see.”

Xia Ning hangs up. A few minutes later, Xia Ning goes back to her office. Because she doesn’t know the performance of those instruments, she tries her best to keep silent. She even doesn’t open the company’s internal system. She only reads some news.

The news in recent days is all about Long Shaojie’s kidnap. The media report that an illegal society did it for a ransom. Fang Youqi is not mentioned at all in the reports.

Soon, someone knocks at the door. Gu Ruoruo comes in, “Sister Xia, some men come for you. They say that they have made an appointment with you. But I can’t find the record in your agenda…”

“Oh. That’s a temporary arrangement. You may ask them to come in.”

“OK.”

Gu Ruoruo leads three tall men in. They are all very strong. Xia Ning knows that they must be sent by Yi Yunrui.

“Ruoruo, you may go out. I need to discuss some things with the three gentlemen. If anyone wants to meet me, please call me.”

“OK.” Gu Ruoruo responds. She glances at the three men and turns around to leave.

The door is closed. The three men straighten their bodies and salute Xia Ning at the same time, “Mrs. Yi.”

Xia Ning twitches her lips. Luckily, her office is sound-proof. Or, people outside must hear their greetings.

“Soldiers.” Xia Ning waves her hand, “As you see, this is my office. You may check to see what’s wrong here.”

“Yes!” The men respond. One of them turns to say something to the other two. Then, he lifts to say to Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, we begin to check now.”

Yi Yunrui carries a big bag of vegetable in his left hand when he is picking fish with his right hand. There is a group of people standing not far away behind. They are women, young and old, from teens to middle ages. They are all obsessed with Yi Yunrui and they look at him with admiration.

Yi Yunrui is not surprised that he is popular with women. He pays all his attention to the fish, wondering whether it is good for steaming or boiling soup.

Which will his wife like better?

“Hum. This one, please. Please help to prepare it for me. Thank you.” He suddenly catches a fish precisely with his hand and smiles to pass it to the seafood boss who is shocked blankly.

At the time, the phone on his waist rings.

It is Zhang Hai.

“Commander, Fang Youqi takes some actions! Five minutes ago, he gathered a group of people and got in a mini bus. Now, they are driving to someplace. We are following them.”

“Hum. Keep close. Don’t miss them. Call me if anything happens.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Yi Yunrui has just hung up and put aside his phone when the boss hands over the fish, “Boy, to be honest, a handsome man like you should stay at home to be served by women. You come to the market in person. Ah, the woman who is going to eat the food prepared by you is really lucky.”

Yi Yunrui gently smiles. He takes the fish over, “Uncle, the lucky one is me. Thank you.”

Then, Yi Yunrui turns around to leave.

When He was a kid, his wish was to accompany her all his life. As he grew up, what he thought about was how to pamper her and love her. He didn’t expect that she would fall in love with him and care about him, too.

Because of these, Yi Yunrui believes himself to be the happiest man in the world.

He returns home; his phone rings just as he enters the door.

“Commander, Fang Youqi is going towards Mrs. Yi’s company.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes. He puts the things at the security room and says, “Boy, please help me keep this for a while. Zhang Hai, stop him. I am coming now.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Yi Yunrui hangs up. He dials a number, “You three, go downstairs in three minutes to check whether there are suspicious vehicles or people. If yes, get them under control at once! Wait, don’t tell Mrs. Yi about my order!”

“Yes! Com…” The man suddenly swallows back his words and hangs up.

“Got it. It is here.” One of them says in a low voice. Then, he takes down a little instrument behind a picture on the wall. “Here it is.”

Another man takes it over and nods, “Mission completed. Let’s go downstairs at once.”

“Mrs. Yi!” They salute again and report, “Mission is completed. Please permit us to leave!”

Xia Ning feels embarrassed to hear that. She smiles uneasily, “Thank you. You may leave.”

“Yes, Mrs. Yi!” They hurriedly open the door and leave the media building at once.

They leave in such a hurry that many people look at them curiously.

Xia Ning strokes her forehead. Seemingly, there are rumors to come soon.

“Boss, what should we do after we catch that woman?” A man carrying a black hood asks. He looks like a ruffian. He continues, “Do you think we should give some special service…Ah!”

He has not finished his words when he is hit forcefully on his head.

Fang Youqi widens his eyes, “You just catch her. Without my order, none of you is allowed to touch her. Or, I will kill all your family!”

Through some connections, he found these young gangsters. They fear nothing. As long as they are given some money, they are very obedient in their actions.

Yi Yunrui doesn’t give him another chance. Then, Yi Yunrui can’t blame him for being heartless.

He will catch the person Yi Yunrui cares most first. With her under control, he doesn’t believe that Yi Yunrui will refuse to talk carefully with him!
