"Ah? Ye Chen? Weren't you … Weren't you missing for a long time? I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried. "
The assistant on the phone suddenly let it slip. When he heard Xi Yechen's name, his tone was obviously shocked and incredulous, but he didn't seem happy at all.
Xi Yechen could naturally hear the assistant's tone. Originally, he didn't quite believe the contents of the text message, but now, Xi Yechen had no choice but to re-examine this assistant of his.
Xi Yechen was silent on the phone for a long time, then he said with some loneliness, "Tian Lin, don't you know where I went during the days I was missing?"
"I … I really don't know, but I've been looking for your whereabouts." When Tian Lin heard Xi Yechen's words, his tone suddenly became a little hesitant.
Xi Yechen laughed coldly.
However, the assistant on the other side had already rushed to Gong Zhenguo, while calming Xi Yechen on the phone.
"Ye Chen, where are you now? I'll come find you right away. During the days you were away, all of us were very worried. "
"All of you?" Xi Yechen asked his assistant on the phone again, because Tian Lin's words expressed too many meanings.
Clearly, he only had this assistant as his trusted aide, but now he said "all of them". It seemed that there were quite a few people behind this, and it was quite lively. Xi Yechen's lips curled into a cold smile.
Moreover, at that time, there was always someone helping him behind the scenes. No one knew about this matter, because he didn't tell anyone about it at all.
And this was also the intention of that person at that time.
"Oh, what I mean is that if I can't find you after you went missing, everyone around you will be worried about you." Tian Lin's tone suddenly became a little flustered in front of Xi Yechen.
"Oh, is that so?"
Xi Yechen snorted and smiled. It turned out that some dogs really couldn't be fed.
"Of course, Ye Chen, quickly tell me where you are, I'll come find you right away."
The assistant still pretended to be extremely calm and spoke in front of Xi Yechen.
"Aren't you very busy now? Will it be a waste of your time to look for me?" Xi Yechen's tone was full of sarcasm.
But the assistant didn't hear it. He smiled happily and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I can let them replace me."
"Okay, I'm at the restaurant we used to drink coffee at. Come and find me now."
After the conversation between Xi Yechen and his assistant, he could already hear the many flaws in the way Xi Yechen handled the conversation.
For example, as his assistant, he had been missing for so long. What else could he be busy with?
Xi Yechen smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. It seemed that if he wanted to figure out these things, he had to find a chance to meet with the assistant alone. With his temper, he would have already brought that person's people over by now.
Therefore, Xi Yechen didn't go to the restaurant as agreed. Instead, he found a nearby restaurant with a relatively wide view and sat by the window to observe.
At this moment, on the other side, Xi Yechen's assistant had already come to Gong Zhenguo's side after receiving the phone call. At this moment, Gong Zhenguo was talking to Yu Lingwei about his father's arrival with an old face.
Gong Zhenguo nodded and bowed. Perhaps this was the way of survival in this world. In front of people who were superior to them, there would always be some people who would show a fawning appearance in front of them, and Gong Zhenguo was a typical representative.
The assistant paused, then found an opportunity to come to Gong Zhenguo's side and quietly told him the news that Xi Yechen had escaped.
When Gong Zhenguo heard this, his expression immediately changed, so he hurriedly said in front of Yu Lingwei very apologetically, "Weiwei, I have some personal matters that I need to deal with urgently. I'll be leaving first."
Yu Lingwei smiled at Gong Zhenguo, then shook her head and said, "It's okay, Mr. Gong, if you have something to do, just hurry up and do it."
After Gong Zhenguo nodded, he hurriedly followed Xi Yechen's assistant to a corner.
"What the hell is going on? How do you know that he has escaped?
At this moment, Gong Zhenguo's face had already turned livid. He asked coldly in front of Xi Yechen's assistant with a dark and gloomy face.
"I don't know either. Look, this is our call record just now." Tian Lin hurriedly showed the phone to Gong Zhenguo.
Gong Zhenguo's expression became a little solemn, and he hurriedly made a phone call to the person who was guarding Xi Yechen.
Soon, the other side picked up the phone.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings, where did the person I asked you to look at go?"
Gong Zhenguo flew into a rage on the phone. If that person was in front of him, he would probably be beaten up badly.
"Second Master, Xi Yechen has been locked inside all this time. I've asked the servants to keep a close eye on him. Did something happen?"
When Gong Zhenguo made the call, the person who was guarding Xi Yechen on the other end of the phone still looked very confused, which instantly made Gong Zhenguo angry.
"Let me tell you, if you can't bring him back by today, you know what I'm going to do." When Gong Zhenguo said this, his tone suddenly became gloomy, and he added meaningfully, "The clubhouse has always been short of people."
"Second … Second Master, I will go and see the situation now. Don't worry, I will definitely bring him back for you."
When the person on the other end of the phone heard this, he immediately trembled in fear.
How could he not understand what Gong Zhenguo meant? Once they were sent to the so-called clubhouse, they might really live a life worse than death. After all, they were straight men of steel.
Listening to Gong Zhenguo's words, even Tian Lin, who was standing by the side, was so scared that he swallowed his saliva.
Then, Gong Zhenguo turned to him and said, "Tian Lin, that Xi Yechen shouldn't know that I locked him up, right?"
"He probably doesn't know. He just escaped, and I didn't say a word to him."
Only then did Tian Lin recover from his shock, and he hurriedly spoke in front of Gong Zhenguo.
Gong Zhenguo nodded in satisfaction. "That's good, but I can't rule out the possibility that he already knows the truth. Otherwise, why hasn't he contacted me yet?"
Gong Zhenguo sized up Tian Lin again, reached out his hand, and patted him on the shoulder with a look of admiration. He said, "How about this, I'll leave this matter to you. If you can bring him back, I will definitely thank you solemnly."
Sure enough, after hearing Gong Zhenguo's words, Tian Lin became very excited.
He directly licked Gong Zhenguo's face, and with a look of confidence, he guaranteed, "Second Master, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."
After Gong Zhenguo nodded, he waved his hand at Tian Lin and said, "Go, I've already prepared people for you. You just need to lead them there."
And so, Tian Lin left the venue.
As he watched Tian Lin leave, a smile appeared on Gong Zhenguo's face. In this world, as long as you had money, you could drive a lot of things.
Tian Lin had been so loyal to Xi Yechen in the beginning, but now, he was being used by Gong Zhenguo.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Yang had also returned to report to Gong Mohan after completing the task.
"Is he safe now?" Gong Mohan sat on a chair in the office and asked Sun Yang.
Xu Yang nodded. "As long as he doesn't provoke Gong Zhenguo, he should be safe. After all, we've already told him everything that should be told."
"Mm, I hope he's on his own." Gong Mohan sighed helplessly and said indifferently.
He knew that with Xi Yechen's personality, if he helped him openly, Xi Yechen would definitely reject him. Therefore, he naturally didn't expect Xi Yechen to ask him for help.
"Don't worry. With this lesson, he shouldn't be careless again."
Gong Mohan nodded slightly and didn't bother about this matter anymore.
The most important thing now was to find a way to stop Yu Lingwei's father, Yu Yueze, from investing in Lumin Group.
In any case, he couldn't help the evildoer. If Yu Yueze invested 200 million yuan in Lumin Group, then it would be really difficult to go against Gong Zhenguo in the future.
At this moment, on the other side, Xi Yechen had already found a place opposite the cafe and sat down. Because it was on the third floor, the view was relatively wide. As long as he sat here, he could see anything that happened on the opposite side. As long as his assistant wasn't alone, he could see it at a glance.
Xi Yechen sighed slightly in his heart. He hoped that the assistant wouldn't let him down.
After all, they had a relationship of four to five years. Although on the surface, Xi Yechen was his assistant, he had long treated him as a brother and had never mistreated him. Therefore, Xi Yechen really didn't understand why Tian Lin would rely on that person.
Also, Xi Yechen was now very curious about why that person would help him. Why did he lock himself up? What was his purpose? A series of questions emerged in Xi Yechen's mind.
Picking up the phone, Xi Yechen thought of Gu Wan. He didn't know how she had been recently.
After thinking about it, Xi Yechen decided to tell Gu Wan that he was out first.
Then, Xi Yechen dialed Gu Wan's number.
