The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1652: Chapter 1652: Ants on a Hot Pan

It didn’t take long before Chu Liyuan returned.

"Mr. Chu, the information on that side has been blocked, I couldn’t find anything!" Chu Liyuan’s face didn’t look good.

Because even things he couldn’t find out meant that it must be something very serious.

Chu Liyuan’s face, which wasn’t looking good originally, now turned even more frightening.

Suppressing the urge to erupt, he took out his phone and dialed Shang’s number.

"Li, what’s the situation? Don’t forget that you’re now the highest-ranking official at the base, why are you throwing everything to me?" Shang’s voice, full of complaints, came through as soon as the call connected.

"What happened in XX?" Chu Liyuan mentioned a place name.

"You’ve got some fast news; I just got notified on my end and you already know?"

"What incident?" Chu Liyuan’s eyes were filled with danger.

"An unknown virus has been discovered there, and isolation procedures have been initiated."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liyuan nearly crushed the phone in his hand.

"Do I need to head over?"

"Haven’t received any notification yet!"

"Wait, I’m coming over now!" He said, directly getting up to leave.

Chu Liyuan quickly followed...

The two rushed to the base at the fastest speed.

"Li, what exactly happened, you..." The intimidating aura emanating from Chu Liyuan made even him hesitate to approach.

Chu Liyuan did not answer and went straight to his office.

The reason he needed to return to the base was that some people could only be contacted through the phone in his office.

With a bang...

The office door was slammed shut, locking Shang and Chu Liyuan outside.

"Chu Liyuan, what’s going on with Li today?"

"Jian Dan is currently in XX." Chu Liyuan spoke slowly.

"What?" Shang immediately understood the reason for Chu Liyuan’s loss of control.

Not long after, the office door was opened.

The man inside looked like the God of Death descending, with coldness emanating from his eyes.

"Get ready!"

After hearing Chu Liyuan’s words, Shang knowingly left...

Over here, after Qin Rou finished speaking, Jian Dan kept calling Chu Liyuan, but no one was answering.

"Rou, do you think Uncle is angry and that’s why he’s not answering my calls?" Jian Dan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Let me ask you this, if you were in my uncle’s position, would you be angry?"

After thinking for a moment, Jian Dan nodded.

"There you have it."

"What should I do? Now Uncle isn’t answering my calls, even if I want to apologize, there’s no way to!" Jian Dan looked like she was about to cry.

"My uncle is surely angry, but you don’t need to worry too much because he won’t stay angry with you for long; he’ll probably call you by tonight because he won’t be able to hold out."

"Really?"

"Others can’t be sure! But for you, my uncle definitely will!" Qin Rou said these words without a trace of hesitation.

Jian Dan held her phone tightly and nodded heavily.

The seconds ticked by, and waiting is often a long process; Jian Dan didn’t let go of her phone all afternoon, clenching it tightly in her palm.

But it never rang, and as daylight faded, "Rou, will Uncle really call me?" Jian Dan asked, looking at Qin Rou with a distressed expression.

"Why don’t you try calling Uncle again?" Qin Rou was also losing confidence.

When she said those words in the morning, she was conservatively estimating. But now that it was dark and Jian Dan hadn’t received a call, even Qin Rou was caught off guard.
