246: Chapter 246: Leng Le’s Heart 246: Chapter 246: Leng Le’s Heart In the serene depths of the night, Leng Le was on a call, her voice full of apparent glee, “How are you, my gorgeous lady, are you getting used to life abroad yet?”
From the other end of the phone, Liu Yao’s pleasing voice ca through, “It’s alright.
I just don’t have any friends here yet.
It’s so boring staying alone in the dormitory and feel lonely walking alone on the street.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Le couldn’t help but complain, “Your father, he lets you go abroad to study not long after your wedding.
How much was he unwilling to let his daughter get married?”
Liu Yao couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay, my father just hopes I can learn more and gain more insights.
Besides, my husband also supports .
Although Yuan Cheng and I have not been married for long, we have been inseparable even before we got married.”
“You make it sound like you’re an old-married couple,” Leng Le laughed playfully, which made Liu Yao answer with a laugh too.
The two best friends chatted for quite a while.
As it got late, Leng Le started to probe, “By the way, Gorgeous, which city are you staying in while abroad?
When I have ti, I will co to see you.”
There was silence on the other end of the call.
Liu Yao was hesitant, Liu Zhendong had repeatedly instructed her not to reveal to anyone which city she was in overseas, considering her safety.
“What’s wrong, gorgeous?” Leng Le was a bit anxious, afraid that Liu Yao would not tell her.
In the end, Liu Yao put enough trust in her dear friend and revealed the city she was in overseas, even disclosing the university she was attending.
“Okay, once I wrap up things here, I’ll co visit you.” It was no idle talk, Leng Le was already making plans in her mind.
She needed to confirm Liu Yao’s location to ensure she wouldn’t let slip any sensitive information.
At the end of the call, Leng Le dialed the number of the Big Boss.
She took a few deep breaths, thought about how she would put it, “Hello, Big Boss, I know where Liu Yao is.
Shall we act now?”
A cold voice ca from the other end of the line: “Just in case, she must be dealt with.
Su Hui and Zhuo Hang won’t give up on tracking her.
They will surely find her.
Our influence is limited overseas, and we can’t guarantee that Liu Yao is within our control.”
“Alright, I got it.
Do you need to fly there to confirm?” Leng Le’s proposal made the Big Boss pause for a mont before saying, “No need.
If you go there and sothing happens to Liu Yao right after, you will be suspected.
Better to stay put and keep your focus on Gu Fan.
I don’t know how this kid found the Elite Club, we can’t let him keep snooping.”
Hearing the tone of the Big Boss, which suggested murderous intent, Leng Le kindly reminded him, “Big boss, I think we should plan this long-term.
Gu Fan is under my control right now, and I can act based on his actions.
If we take out Gu Fan, I will have no idea how far along Su Hui and the others are with their investigation.
It would be better to keep Gu Fan alive as my informant.
Besides, he knows Hai’s identity.
If we push him too hard, I am afraid he might reveal Hai’s identity.”
“That’s a good point.
It seems we need to keep this kid Gu Fan alive for a little while longer.” After saying that, the Big Boss chuckled in a cryptic way, “Leng Le, I always thought your heart was as cold as your na.
I didn’t expect it to be lted by this kid.”
Leng Le responded imdiately, “Big Boss, as I have said before, for your great cause, I can sacrifice personal feelings.
If one day Gu Fan does beco a hindrance to us, I can eliminate him without hesitation.”
“I believe you can do it.” The Big Boss sounded trusting.
Then he wondered, “One more thing, are you sure Gu Fan drank that poisoned wine?”
Leng Le nodded, “I’m sure.
I poisoned it with my own hands, and he took the wine glass from .
I just don’t understand why the poison didn’t affect Gu Fan.
Could it be because too much ti had passed?
Could poisons also have expiration dates?”
Big Boss replied, “Even slow-acting poisons won’t work this slowly.
Either this kid has a unique constitution or he used so other thod that we don’t know.
There’s also a possibility that he knew you were going to poison him, so he was prepared.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Le grew pale: “Are you saying that Gu Fan knows my real identity and that I was planning to poison Liu Yao?
So, to protect Liu Yao, he drank the poisoned wine.”
“We can’t rule out this possibility.
This kid always seems to defy our expectations.” In the end, the Big Boss warned, “Don’t let your guard down, Leng Le.
You think you’re controlling this kid, but in the end, you might find out that he’s the one controlling you.” With that, the Big Boss ended the call.
Leng Le’s heart sank.
What the Big Boss said could indeed be a possibility.
She had previously suspected that Gu Fan had recognized Old Xing when they t at the unfinished building and feared that Gu Fan had recognized the true identities behind the mask while still playing the love ga.
The thought of it terrified Leng Le.
However, later on, it was confird that Gu Fan did not recognize Old Xing as he indeed looked different than before, which made Leng Le breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Gu Fan was still in the dark.
The love between them was not staged; Gu Fan was genuine.
But now, the words of the Big Boss sparked the fear deep within Leng Le’s heart.
She hoped Gu Fan would not discover anything that would bring their relationship to an end.
She had so reluctance to let go.
If they did break up, she wanted to control the way it ended.
“Gu Fan, if the day cos we are through, it will be because it has beco necessary, because I have used you up and I am ready to kick you out.
The pain will be yours, not mine.” Leng Le secretly vowed.
This relationship will either continue or end on her terms.
There wouldn’t be a third option.
Just then, Leng Le received a text from Gu Fan, vaguely inviting her over to keep him company.
“This kid, already begging for attention now that he is feeling better…” Leng Le scoffed but agreed imdiately.
She then started getting ready to make a striking appearance to Gu Fan.
anwhile, Gu Fan was sitting on the sofa, playing with his phone, tapping it against his head, a troubled look on his face.
From the texts he sent and various indications during their relationship, Gu Fan could keenly feel Leng Le’s commitnt to their relationship.
“For God’s sake, please give a happy ending this ti.
I really love her.” Gu Fan sighed, then stretched a bit, looking forward to Leng Le’s arrival.
After all, it was a rare night where Su Hui was working late, which ant he could do whatever he pleased at ho.
