She followed the hand and looked up, arm, arm, neck, and finally to the face that was particularly strange in her mind but she had been looking forward to seeing it.
"Miss Wan?" Seeing that she didn't return his hand for a long time, Ling Feng gently called her name.
The polite and familiar call was like a ruthless blow to Wan Qianqian, immediately pulling her out of the complicated emotions in her heart that she had been looking forward to seeing her family and sister being abused.
Wan Qianqian also raised the corner of her mouth, politely reached out her hand to greet him, and said bluntly, "President Ling, where are my children?"
As soon as the words came out, Wan Qianqian clearly felt that his hand holding her was slightly tightened, and a trace of surprise flashed through his dark brown eyes, but soon he hid that emotion and restored his gentlemanly look.
"Young Master Gu, Miss Wan, please sit down." Ling Feng directly ignored her question, took back his hand, and sat down on the sofa next to him, with his legs crossed.
Wan Qianqian stood there quietly for two or three seconds, with his warmth still lingering in her palms. She clenched and unclenched her hands by her sides without a trace. After repeating this several times, she took a deep breath, showed a faint smile again, and followed Gu Tanfeng to sit down on the sofa just now.
The three of them had their own thoughts, thinking about and exploring some things that they were curious about. Sharp eyes crisscrossed in the air. Ling Feng and Gu Tanfeng talked about some business matters, and didn't mention a word about Xin Yue and Xin Yi.
With the passage of time, Wan Qianqian's patience was worn down to the point where it was almost gone. Her smile gradually became stiff, and in the end, her face was completely gloomy. If it weren't for Gu Tanfeng who always quietly reminded her not to act rashly, she would have laid everything out and told him everything.
"Uncle Ling, you are a smart man, and you know what I want!" After talking about business, Gu Tanfeng didn't even give a perfunctory answer, and asked with a taut face.
Ling Feng's face showed a confused look. The gentleman image gave people a feeling that he was very sincere and honest, but in fact, he was a hidden old fox.
In the study, Ling Yuxuan stood in front of the monitor screen with his arms crossed, carefully observing the two tender and stubborn faces. He tightly pursed his lips, and kept digging in the depths of his memory about these two familiar faces, but the door deep in his memory seemed to be locked with countless shackles, and couldn't be opened easily.
"Da —" A light sound rang in the silent air. If it weren't so quiet in the study, maybe Ling Yuxuan wouldn't have noticed it.
The moment the sound rang, Ling Yuxuan's body reacted faster than his brain, and his whole body moved like a cheetah toward the direction. But when his body gradually moved in that direction, he noticed that something was wrong, and there was a strange fragrance in the air.
Ling Yuxuan subconsciously wanted to cover his nose, but in the end, he couldn't resist the strong effect of the drug. The fragrance passed through his nose and went straight to his nervous system, and he quickly lost consciousness.
The feeling of powerlessness filled Ling Yuxuan, and his whole body gradually fell to the ground. The moment he completely lost consciousness, a familiar and delicate face quickly flashed in his mind.
"Hmph." The second after Ling Yuxuan fell, a cold and disdainful snort floated in the air, and then a beautiful figure walked out from a dark corner. Standing next to Ling Yuxuan's body, she looked at Ling Yuxuan with a disdainful attitude. "You want to use that thing to bind me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she snorted again. Lin Li swaggered to the desk and quickly rummaged through every drawer, but in the process of rummaging, a soft cough suddenly sounded, and her whole body instantly tensed up, entering a state of high alert.
After two seconds of silence, the light cough sounded again, and the frequency became more frequent, deeply attracting Lin Li's attention.
The huge surveillance screen hanging on the wall showed the surveillance footage of a room. Lin Li had long been used to the existence of this screen, so she didn't pay much attention when she came in. At this moment, when she looked in that direction, her pupils instantly shrank.
In the room, two small figures curled up into a ball and sat together, and Xin Yi coughed because of the stuffy air. After a while, the petite face was already red, but the coughing still didn't ease.
"Xin Yi, are you okay? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xin Yue hurriedly imitated the way his mommy used to stroke his back to help ease Xin Yi's breathing, and his delicate face was full of panic.
After being locked here, he didn't show a trace of panic. At this moment, the little bit of calmness that he pretended to be collapsed, and his true emotions were exposed.
"No, cough cough …" Xin Yi covered her chest and coughed while trying to comfort her brother that he was fine, but there was a feeling that it was counterproductive.
This made Xin Yue even more worried, and Xin Yue's whole face was almost scrunched up, and he hurriedly looked around to see if there was any water. Fortunately, his eyes quickly caught the location of the cup and kettle, and he hurriedly walked in the direction of the kettle with his slightly sore legs.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li momentarily forgot to continue looking for things. Seeing the two pitiful faces, a part of her heart seemed to be hit hard, and there was a dull pain.
In the next second, Lin Li closed the opened drawer, and without thinking carefully, she rushed to the room where Xin Yue and Xin Yi were locked up. When her footsteps stopped at the door, the moment her hand touched the door lock, she was a little suspicious, and her mind was slowly sinking.
Everything seemed too coincidental. During the time she stayed in the Ling family, Lin Li had a little understanding of the Ling father and son's character. Why did Ling Feng go and provoke Gu Tanfeng?
A bunch of doubts constantly lingered in Lin Li's heart, and the countless speculations were like many crisscrossed lines mixed together, unable to be sorted out clearly. And from the crack of the door came the sound of Xin Yi coughing, constantly hindering Lin Li's ability to think, but her body made a choice faster.
The hand on the door lock turned a little, and the heavy door was slowly opened by her. Because the room had been locked for a long time, there was a kind of stuffy and turbid atmosphere in the air.
The tit-for-tat confrontation downstairs also continued, and the two sides were in a deadlock. Ling Feng still pretended to be confused, and Gu Tanfeng and Wan Qianqian gradually realized that something was wrong, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly.
"Tan Feng, your father and I are good friends, why would I do anything to your children?" The situation became more and more deadlocked, and Ling Feng's face was full of helplessness. His sincerity was displayed incisively and vividly on his seemingly gentle and gentlemanly face, so sincere that no trace of hypocrisy could be found.
"President Ling, didn't my son tell us that your Ling Family invited my children to be guests here?!" Wan Qianqian, who had held back for a long time, finally couldn't hold it anymore. From the beginning, Ling Feng seemed to be playing Tai Chi, and he pushed the matter back and forth.
Wan Qianqian, who was concerned about her children, gradually became angry, and she deliberately emphasized the word "guests" to express her dissatisfaction.
Hearing Wan Qianqian's words, a helpless smile appeared on Ling Feng's face, and he shrugged slightly. "Miss Wan, I really don't know what you are talking about. My son is now dealing with something in the Middle East. Did you make a mistake?"
His stubborn attitude made Gu Tanfeng and Wan Qianqian look more and more gloomy. Just when Wan Qianqian was about to say something, the harsh phone rang.
The sound of the phone ringing gradually became louder, and Wan Qianqian's heartbeat also accelerated with the change of the ringtone. She saw Gu Tanfeng take out the phone and press the answer button. The moment before she answered the phone, she saw He Zeng's name flashing on the screen.
When she saw that name, her heart skipped a beat, and she heard Gu Tanfeng's melancholy and complicated voice. Some words faintly passed by her ears, and they were related to Xin Yue and Xin Yi.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Tanfeng's hand that was holding the phone quietly tightened, and he said with a cold and apologetic expression, "In that case, we won't disturb Uncle Ling."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ling Feng looked as usual, and his attitude toward Gu Tanfeng suddenly changed.
Suddenly, he said with a cold and apologetic expression, "In that case, we won't disturb Uncle Ling."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ling Feng looked as usual, as if the sudden change of Gu Tanfeng's attitude was within his expectation, and he responded to Gu Tanfeng lightly.
Wan Qianqian, who was still immersed in confusion, let Gu Tanfeng pull her out. It was not until the two of them arrived at the car that she reacted. She suddenly stopped and stared at Gu Tanfeng suspiciously.
"Xin Yue, Xin Yi has already returned home." As if he had already seen through her doubts, Gu Tanfeng spoke softly the second she stopped. His voice was very calm, as if he had already guessed it.
Wan Qianqian felt that the thoughts in her mind were in a mess, and she subconsciously looked at the villa behind her, but she accidentally met the eyes of Ling Feng, who had walked to a balcony on the second floor. She clearly saw the strange smile on his face.
Even though they were separated by a long distance, Wan Qianqian could still clearly feel the coldness in that smile, and it made her heart clench!
"What is he trying to do?" After meeting that pair of eyes for a while, Ling Feng left the balcony. Wan Qianqian came back to her senses, and she clenched her fists tightly, and her voice was filled with infinite heaviness and anger.
Wan Qianqian, whose mood swings were too obvious, caught Gu Tanfeng's attention. A glimmer of light flashed across his deep and dark eyes, and he was already quietly thinking in his heart.
