Hua Ci opened his mouth.
Ye Lan: "I'll hang up first."
There was only a beep in the hotel suite, and the figure on the screen projector disappeared in the light. Ye Lan had already hung up.
Hua Ci bit his lip, feeling embarrassed. He bent down to pick up his phone, found the phone number in the address book, hesitated for a moment and called.
"Beep..."
The call went through immediately.
Hua Ci's heart beat faster, boom, boom.
The blood in her body flowed faster and focused on her heart. Every second was magnified infinitely, and time seemed to freeze at this second.
“Beep…”
The phone rang more than ten times but no one answered.
Hua Ci was excited at the beginning, but became a little nervous and flustered later. Could it be that he didn’t bring his cell phone with him
Another two seconds passed.
No one answered the call and it automatically hung up.
Hua Ci heard a mechanical female voice coming from the phone: "Sorry, no one answered the number you dialed. Please call again later."
Hua Ci put the phone away, hesitated for a moment, and dialed the number again.
**
Independent state villa area.
Inside a European-style white villa.
Mo Dong was reporting to Ye Wangchuan about the developments of the major forces in the Independent Continent during his absence, including the movements at the major docks.
"…The Ji family's stronger docks are much quieter. Those people are very afraid of Miss Qiao. As long as Miss Qiao is in the Independent Island, they haven't made any trouble and have honestly followed Young Master Ji's arrangements. Therefore, the Ji family has been relatively peaceful recently."
"…The Chamber of Commerce Alliance was in a mess during your absence. Simon's sudden resignation caused chaos within them. Several projects have been eroded by other forces, and their strength is not as good as before. They are also divided into two factions. One faction is still following Simon's arrangements before his resignation and keeping a low profile. The other faction is very close to the Xie family, and seems to want to get close to Miss Qiao by getting close to the Xie family. The Xie family also pretends to be stupid. They obviously have no friendship with Miss Qiao, but they also use the in-law relationship between the Xie family and the Ji family to cheat benefits from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance by using the relationship between Xie Yun and Miss Qiao."
Simon's sudden resignation left the Chamber of Commerce alliance leaderless.
Some people knew the inside story and learned that the president was so scared after Qiao Nian came to their headquarters that he resigned at a meeting that day.
This group of people were afraid that Qiao Nian would retaliate against the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, so they tried every possible means and used many connections to find Old Lady Xie.
Old Madam Xie is used to using illusions to deceive people, and this time she took advantage of a lot of the benefits given by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
However, Xie Yun had already broken up with her family, and Ji Nan didn't buy into her grandmother's words... In fact, Mrs. Xie received a lot of benefits from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but she couldn't contact Qiao Nian at all.
The people in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance were already dissatisfied with her practice of taking benefits but not doing anything, and began to secretly show signs of making trouble with her.
"…If the two sides start quarreling, Mrs. Xie will probably lose her dignity for the rest of her life. It's a bit of a loss."
As Mo Dong spoke, he noticed that his master's cell phone kept vibrating, and he kept glancing at the coffee table.
Seeing that Ye Wangchuan had no intention of answering the phone, Mo Dong stopped and couldn't help but remind him: "Master Wang, aren't you going to answer the phone?"
Under his gaze, Ye Wangchuan leaned forward slightly to pick up the phone on the table, hung up the call smoothly, and added the number to the blacklist.
Then he put his phone on the sofa, stood up and asked Mo Dong: "What time is it?"
Mo Dong looked at the time on the wall: "11:30."
