Chapter 211 - 215

Start from the beginning
                                    

She knew what Qu Wan was capable of and that she would not easily give herself away. It was okay though, time would tell. There had to be a slow process to reach a desperate state. Only when someone was truly desperate, would she do irrational things for any little bit of hope.

Ling Tianya looked at the time and it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Ruan Zeyan had not contacted her all day.

The woman frowned and decided to call him on the phone.

“Hello?” The call was connected, but what came out was a woman’s sweet voice.

Hearing the woman’s voice come through the line, Ling Tianya’s first reaction was to assume that it was Ruan Zeyan’s head secretary Christine, but it didn’t seem like her voice either. Christine’s voice was like a cloud made out of iron, gentle and yet hardened by life. It was definitely not this sickly-sweet cotton candy voice.

“Who are you?” Ling Tianya questioned.

The next few moments were just a mess of sounds, as though someone was snatching the phone from the woman. She shouted out of displeasure, before Du Gang’s voice came through.

“Miss… Miss Ling.” Du Gang’s voice was trembling as though he was worried that Ling Tianya would be angry. He quickly continued, “Boss is in his meetings, his phone is not with him.”

Even though the call was picked up by a woman, his boss was not with the woman. “Miss Ling, please don’t think too much of the situation.”, Du Gang thought.

“He’s in his meeting? For the whole day?” Ling Tianya prodded. “Does he not want to live anymore?”

Just how much did he not care about his own body? The doctor clearly instructed him to rest, but the moment he was discharged he went to have a whole day of meetings!

It wasn’t hard to hear that Ling Tianya was angry over the phone, but he was not too sure whether Ling Tianya was angry over the fact that his boss had a full day of meetings, or that the woman had picked up his boss’ phone.

Du Gang had prepared a whole arsenal of explanations, but it seemed like they were all unneeded. Miss Ling didn’t even give it too much thought.

Miss Ling, what a mystical woman…

“The few days that Boss had been hospitalized, some things happened in the corporation. They all require the boss’s own intervention, so he’s a bit busier.”

For so many years, Ruan Zeyan had always governed over the corporation with an iron fist, securing his position as the CEO of the company. He had kept the decision making power in the hands of Ruan Qishan’s side of the family. Because of that, Ruan Zeyan had become the most powerful, feared, and the person that many people wanted to dispose of in order to prevent future worries.

The assassination attempt could have very well been from the members of the Ruan family.

Even though nothing fatal had happened to Ruan Zeyan, there are some people that had taken action and had become restless during his absence. Ruan Qishan had washed his hands off the happenings of the company, so there were many things he was unable to accomplish, no matter how much he wanted to.

The moment Ruan Zeyan was discharged, he went to settling the source of the unrest in the corporation.

Even though Du Gang didn’t state it outright, Ling Tianya knew that the bigger the family, the bigger the conflicts and scheming. Being an assassination target was not the scariest thing, being assassinated by your own family members was.
