Chapter 816: Start of the Great War (10)

Ling Tianya suddenly opened her eyes. She was greeted by the sight of Aunty Wang and Zhang Ke.

“Boss, are you awake? You scared me half to death!” Zhang Ke looked anxiously at Ling Tianya.

“Why are you here?” Ling Tianya was disorientated, and she was unable to focus.

“Have you forgotten? You told me to organize some information about the new book. I wanted to bring it over to you today. When I got here, I saw that you had fainted.”

“I also heard that President Ruan is missing...”

Ling Tianya’s eyes became still, and she ran out of the bedroom barefooted.

When Ruan Qishan heard the news, he immediately went home. He sat in the large study, his expression grave. Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi sat on the sofa, their faces pale.

Ling Tianya ran over to them. She looked at Ruan Qishan and asked, “Father, is there any news about Ruan Zeyan?”

Ruan Qishan’s face was still, and he immediately fell silent.

Wang Yazhi began crying. She was on the verge of fainting.

Madame Ruan was also very emotional. She became even more fidgety when Wang Yazhi began crying. “What else can you do besides cry?!”

“But Zeyan, he... My son, he...”

“Your son isn’t dead. He’s only missing. Whose funeral are you wailing at!”

Madame Ruan’s scolding made Wang Yazhi make a real effort to stop crying. However, her tears continued to fall uncontrollably.

“Qishan, think of something!” Madame Ruan said, her voice serious.

Ruan Qishan had been trying to cope with the news the entire time. Ruan Zeyan was not only his only son, but he was also the head of the Ruan Family. If something were to happen to him, then the consequences would be inconceivable.

“I’ve already ordered people to keep this incident sealed and temporarily hide it from the outside world. This way, we can avoid panic and unnecessary problems.”

“How can you seal the news! You have to find who is responsible!” Madame Ruan was anxious.

“I know. I’ve already sent everyone that I can over there.”

“Big One, Small One!” Ling Tianya called them in.

“Young Miss!” The two walked in and respectfully greeted Ling Tianya.

“How many of our secret guards can still be used?”

“Currently, the only ones we can move are the twenty people beside you, Young Miss,” Big One responded.

The hidden guards belonged to Ruan Zeyan, so he was the only one who could give them orders. Therefore, although Big One and Small One were known figures in the group, there were still unable to order any of them around.

Ruan Zeyan had also taken his best defensive guards on his business trip with him.

“Okay, then go with them to Country E right now to search for the boss’s location.”

“But, Young Miss... The boss ordered us to protect you. If we leave, who will do that?” Small One asked.

“I don’t need any protection right now!” Ling Tianya’s face became cold. “Are you listening to what I’m saying?”

“No!” Small One immediately rejected this suggestion. Then, with a serious expression, he said, “How about this? Big One will stay to protect you and the mansion. I will take the other people with me to Country E.”

The pediatrician had come to check on Tiny Rice Ball. There wasn’t anything majorly wrong with him. His throat was a little inflamed. Knowing that the baby was alright was one less thing to worry about.

Zhang Ke was worried about Ling Tianya and stayed at the mansion to keep an eye on her.

Big One was watching the door with a couple of others. At this time, the safety of the mansion could not be ignored.

Zhang Ke walked out and gave Big One a glass of water. “You’re working hard.”

“This is what I’m here to do.”

“Then I won’t bother you anymore.” She turned around and prepared to leave. However, she turned around again. “I’m not sure if you know my name. I’m Zhang Ke.”

After she was done speaking, she rushed back inside, her face red.

Big One looked at Zhang Ke’s retreating figure and mumbled, “I know.”

This night, everyone at the mansion was fated to remain sleepless.

The following morning, the guard stationed at the front door rushed into the house.

In the living room, Ling Tinaya waited for the guard, thinking that there was news about Ruan Zeyan. However, that guard was trembling in fear. “President,” he said, “the mansion is surrounded!”
