When Ye Chen returned to the Grand City Apartments, he realized that Sun Yi still had not returned.

The problem was he could not get through Sun Yi’s phone and judging from Xia Ruoxue’s words, Sun Yi did not even ask for a leave.

What important thing happened at this girl’s home?

Or did something happened along the way?

Ye Chen could not help and began worrying. Sun Yi was a woman after all, and a very beautiful woman at that. Sun Yi was very important to Ye Chen. He would not allow anything to happen to her, considering the kindness that she had given him that year.

No longer hesitating, Ye Chen picked up the phone and dialed a string of numbers from memory.

…

Hidden Dragon Building.

It stood in the center of the city, but it was as if it was standing far apart from the hustle and bustle of the city.

No one knew its origins and no one knew why it existed.

For some people, they could only learn just a little bit about the building after searching through their various complicated networks: A man lived on the top floor of the Hidden Dragon Building!

His name was Ye Lingtian.

At this moment, Ye Lingtian was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed on the top floor of the Hidden Dragon Building. He had one hand on one side of the chair while his other hand was playing with a special disc!

The design on the disc was very strange. It was a blood-thirsty black dragon. The black dragon seemed to be wrapped in clouds and mist, hiding the sky and covering the earth (TN: Chinese idiom that means omnipresent) and was looking down upon the mortals with arrogance.

Suddenly, his mobile phone on the table rang!

His sharp eyes opened almost instantly, emitting a glow that could chill everyone down to their spine.

Only six people in the world knew this number.

Ye Lingtian stretched out his hand to grab the mobile phone. It looked as if it was being pulled by something and was sucked to it!

He glanced and saw that it was an anonymous number.

Could they have called the wrong number?

He was about to hang up when he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that person calling?

No longer hesitating, he immediately pressed the button to answer.

“Who’s this?”

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and the silence was a bit scary. Ye Lingtian shook his head. It seemed like they really had the wrong number. He was about to hang up when a lazy voice sounded, “It’s me.”

Hearing this voice, Ye Lingtian’s entire person stood up straight. A burst of violent aura was unfurling in his body. His body trembled, and his breathing was a little quick!

He had kept this phone by his side for three years!

And it did not even ring once!

He had been hoping that the man would remember this number someday and call him! Yet, every hopeful moment had always led to disappointment! He had even thought that the name, Ye Lingtian, was utterly worthless!

“Hall master…” His voice was trembling to the point he sounded almost as if he was sobbing.

If those men in power saw Ye Lingtian like this, they would be absolutely startled until their jaws were dropped to the ground, How could Ye Lingtian harbored such tenderness in his eyes!

“I’ll say this again: don’t call me Hall Master and don’t try to look up this number. Help me check on someone. Her name is Sun Yi. Her hometown is Great Field Town, River City. I lost contact with her ten hours ago and I want to know where she is now, if she is in any danger or if something had happened at her home. I will call you again within five minutes. By then, you must give me this information.”

There was a definite tone from the other end of the phone. When he was done, the call was efficiently ended.

Ye Lingtian shuddered and gathered his composure quickly. He logged into a website while making a call with another mobile phone.

“Sha, I want all the information on this person within the next three minutes. Her name is Sun Yi, female…”

The scene turned to Grand City Apartments.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen got lost in his thoughts. He had never wanted to make that phone call. He did not want to involve this group of people in his development or vengeance plan. Although now it seemed that there was no other way other than to face these people upon returning to Huaxia.

After looking at the time, he then sat on the sofa and drew out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. A cigarette fell onto his hand after he had shaken it lightly. A trail of smoke coming from his lighted cigarette swirled in the air.

Cigarettes were not that bad of an antidote when one was upset.

Five minutes have passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Chen snuffed out the cigarette in his hand. With a flick of his fingers, the cigarette butt swept through a curve and landed directly in the trash with accuracy.

He dialed the phone again. “Any news?”

The tone on the other side of the phone was calmer.

“Hall…cough…I’ve found news of Sun Yi…She left River City’s Grand City Apartments at 11.35 pm. She drove a Volkswagen Beetle 180TSI to the Fifth People’s Hospital at 12.25 pm. The car is still parked in the hospital parking lot.

“According to my investigation in River City, Sun Yi’s brother, Sun Haozhe, suffered a sudden condition at 11.20 pm and needed immediate surgery that costs 700,000 yuan.

“We’ve obtained her phone records and the footage in the hospital. We found that she had made three calls while she was there. The first call was to a mortgage company. Miss Sun Yi sold the Beetle for an extremely low price of 50,000 yuan.

“The second and third calls were to private numbers. When the third call was done, Miss Sun Yi threw the phone into the second trash can outside ward 512 on the fifth floor… I also have a detailed investigation report here. Is there a need to send it to your email?”

“No need.” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and hung up the phone.

‘This silly girl, why hadn’t she told me even at this time? Did she not consider me a friend?

‘Or did she think that I was completely powerless?

‘I’ve told you that I’ve had made nearly 100 million yuan. Why couldn’t you believe me?

‘Why should you rely on those common doctors when there is a miracle doctor living right beside you?’

700,000 yuan. Ye Chen knew it very well that Sun Yi only had 300,000 yuan. Even if the car was sold, it would not be able to make up for the remaining 400,000 yuan.

He was afraid that the two private calls were to borrow money… And the result was a failure.

Sun Yi was probably at the most helpless time of her life now.

“This time five years ago was the time when I was the most helpless and today, five years later, is when you are most helpless. It’s time that I pull you out of this abyss.”

“Jeez, what a silly woman.”

Ye Chen simply grabbed a jacket and put it on. Closing the door, he immediately melded into the night.
