Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1048: Chapter 615: Gaining Entry (Part 2)

"Right now, we all need to stay calm..." Luo Ye tilted her head back to keep the tears from falling, continuing, "Panic and urgency won’t save Lianlian. The fact they spent over a year planning this means they’ve been scheming for a long time. If you recklessly rush in, you’ll only lose your life and solve nothing. Listen to me, wait for my news."

"Okay, I’ll follow your advice and not waste any more of your time. Thank you, goodbye." After speaking, Yanyan swiftly hung up the phone.

"Ye’er, what should we do next?" Liu Xing, who had been listening in, asked urgently.

"Why didn’t you just call me directly earlier?" Luo Ye’s tone carried anger, "This is the kind of situation where every second counts, don’t you know?"

"Actually..." Liu Xing hesitated a moment, "I was nearby, even if I had called you, it would have only been half a minute faster."

Luo Ye’s eyes glistened, she sighed softly and said: "I’m sorry, I was too anxious and lost my temper. Don’t take it to heart. Now, I must find Ye Xuan first. In this regard, the Ye Family is the most capable."

"Ye’er, I know you’re upset, I won’t blame you. Let’s do this: I won’t bother you, but if you need my help, call me right away, okay?"

"Okay!" Luo Ye promptly responded, waved at him, and dialed Ye Xuan’s number, only to be greeted by the service personnel repeatedly saying it was temporarily unreachable, so she had no choice but to call his office number.

"Mayor Ye’s office, who is this?" The voice from the receiver was the secretary’s.

"I am his fiancée, I have an urgent matter to discuss with him." At this moment, Luo Ye couldn’t afford to be polite.

The secretary’s voice became more enthusiastic: "Hello, hello, the thing is, Governor Hu from the province is here inspecting work, Mayor Ye accompanied him to tour the underground stone mine. He’ll be back in about an hour."

The underground stone mine had no signal, no wonder Ye Xuan’s phone was unreachable. Luo Ye sighed softly, politely expressed thanks, and hung up the phone.

Though the situation was urgent, directly seeking Ye Family elders seemed slightly inappropriate, after some thought, she quickly ran out of the campus and took a car to Ye Xuan’s residence.

On the way, she gradually figured it out, the fact that they waited over a year to kidnap Luo Lian indicated that they wouldn’t harm her immediately, otherwise, assassinating someone wouldn’t take this long.

The matter involving Yao Qian, she had felt something was amiss earlier.

Now she understood, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance they’re killing two birds with one stone, Luo Lian being one bird, and she, Luo Ye, is the other. What they’re waiting for is her showing up!

Of course, if following this analysis, perhaps the kidnappers weren’t those sisters, but Grandpa Lian Fengnan from Qiao Xiaowan’s side could be capable of such a thing.

Who it truly was, she couldn’t conclusively determine at the moment.

Thus, she needed to carefully plan this matter, waiting for the one and a half hours until Ye Xuan finished work, perhaps they could carefully study it together before deciding what to do.

Report to the police? She didn’t even consider it.

Their methods, reporting would only expedite Luo Lian’s suffering.

All indications showed they weren’t just targeting Luo Lian, which meant, in the short term, Luo Lian was safe.

Thinking this way, her internal panic gradually faded.

As the car drove into the compound, Ye Xuan’s call came through: "Ye’er, is there an emergency?"

Luo Ye responded: "Yes, but let’s discuss it after you’re off work. I’m heading to your place now, should get there before you."

Knowing her personality well, Ye Xuan didn’t ask further and straightforwardly said: "Alright, I’ll say goodbye to Governor Hu and head back shortly."

"I’ll wait for you." Luo Ye hung up, sighed softly, and walked upstairs. At this moment, her foremost concern was Luo Lian’s safety, not Ye Xuan’s future.

If Governor Hu gets displeased, so be it. There’ll be chances to make amends later. This issue truly isn’t suitable for public discussion.

Contemplating along the way, she arrived at Ye Xuan’s door, just as she pulled out the key, the door was yanked open, Ouyang Zijing wearing an apron jumped out: "Darling, you’re back?" Seeing it was Luo Ye standing there, her eyes filled with surprise, "Why is it you?" She looked back, "Where’s Xuan?"

"Why are you here at his place?" Luo Ye’s face quickly darkened, although she was generous, this kind of scenario was utmostly intolerable!

"Xuan’s too busy, I’ve been helping him with meals lately." Ouyang Zijing chuckled, "I’ve said, during this year, it’s my gain if I could win him over, if not, no regrets either."

Luo Ye pushed her aside, entered, glanced around, her father Yu Fa’s face sternly shadowed, the sofa, coat rack, adorned with Ouyang Zijing’s jacket, sweater, scarf casually hung.

"Jealous?" Ouyang Zijing giggled, "Rest assured, our current relationship is purely platonic. I just come over to cook, then we eat together, after washing the dishes, he chases me home. Not a bit considerate, well, I just like him, enjoy being ill-treated by him..."

Before she could finish, Luo Ye had already turned and exited, snorting coldly, swiftly descending the stairs.

Ouyang Zijing’s lips curled, she discreetly gestured a victory sign, hurriedly ran to the window.
