Chapter 302: A Mysterious Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Yan Ruo said that Yan Yuan should stay home to reflect on himself, Yan Ruo did not restrict Yan Yuan’s freedom.

After Yan Yuan left the Yan Family’s residence, he immediately avoided people’s attention and sneaked into an unremarkable small hotel on the street. He booked an hourly room.

He used the phone in the room to dial a number.

“How could Yan Ruo still be alive?!” Yan Yuan was extremely fl.u.s.tered. Was he really going to sit and wait for his death?

The person on the other side used a voice changer, and it actually sounded like a little boy’s voice. That person laughed loudly, appearing extremely eerie.

“Then you have to ask why the person you found didn’t kill Yan Ruo.”

Hearing this, Yan Yuan had another headache. “What should we do now? w.a.n.g Lai’s been taken away by him. I’ve captured w.a.n.g Lai’s family, but I can’t guarantee that he won’t rat me out!”

“That depends on whether you treasure an old relationship or you want to protect yourself.” The childish voice said extremely cold and ruthless words, throwing the choice to Yan Yuan.

“You mean to say… get rid of w.a.n.g Lai?” Yan Yuan frowned.

w.a.n.g Lai had been by his side for so many years and had also risked his life for him. Was this really the only path he could take now?

“You can’t bear to? Then you want to be caught by Yan Ruo like him? Or do you want to be removed from the Yan Family and become nothing?” A mocking voice came from the other side of the phone. Yan Yuan gritted his teeth and made a decision.

“Then why did Yan Ruo manage to escape this time? We’ve made all the necessary preparations, even finding a scapegoat. I’ve even received a photo of Yan Ruo being buried under the ruins.” Yan Yuan was puzzled.

“Hmph, do you really think the photos are that credible?” That person only felt that Yan Yuan was impatient and stupid. No wonder the power of the Yan Family could not be handed over to him.

“Don’t tell me that…” Yan Yuan thought about it carefully and suddenly realized.

Yan Ruffs body was not in the picture, and he was told that the scapegoats they had found, Rattlesnake’s group, would be executed after returning to the organization. The information he had received was deliberately pa.s.sed to him by someone!

Yan Yuan clenched his fists.

The person on the other end of the phone also received the doc.u.ments sent by his subordinate.

He casually flipped through a few pages and knew that even though their plan was extremely thorough, Yan Ruo had seen through everything and played them for a fool.

Yan Yuan held the phone and listened to the person on the other side describe Yan Ruffs strategy in a simple and concise way.

This was a trap within a trap.

Long when Yan Ruo had left Traveler, he had been investigating everything. He was also investigating all this while in the Abyss, deliberately leaving behind evidence for them and releasing false news to bait them, finally catching them by surprise.

This trap could be said to be interlinked.

Yan Yuan did not dare to imagine how many people Yan Ruo had schemed against this time. He only felt that Yan Ruo was simply too unfathomable.

Very soon, the evidence of the people hired by Zheng You against Yan Ruo would be placed on the table of all the elders of the Yan Family. The marriage between the Yan and Zheng families would no longer be possible, and Zheng You would never have the right to step into the Yan Family.

To them, they had lost an extremely important chess piece that they could control.

Yan Yuan had lost w.a.n.g Lai. Even if w.a.n.g Lai could hold on this time, what about other things? Not to mention that Yan Ruo had suspended Yan Yuan for two months.

They had originally thought that they had set up a flawless trap, but who would have thought that it was Yan Ruo who had played them like a fool, causing them to go for wool and come home shorn in the end.

The mysterious man’s expression on the other end of the phone became extremely sinister.

He would definitely make Yan Ruo pay the price.

Two days ago…

Bai Lin and Yan Ruo were having a good conversation in the underground ruins of the research inst.i.tute.

Her thoughts were always active, and very few people could keep up with her pace. Yan Ruo was one of the rare people who could talk to her.

After settling the matter at hand, the two of them began to talk about everything, and the topic got further away.

Yan Ruffs men were well-trained, and they had, in fact, rescued the two of them in less than two hours.

As for how the production team dealt with the public opinion online and the series of subsequent problems, Yan Ruo would send someone to settle everything.

When Bai Lin came out of the research inst.i.tute, she did a simple disguise to hide her whereabouts. She changed cars four times and returned to her hidden residence.

She took out a phone from the drawer and inserted a SIM card that she rarely used.

“Go and investigate Yan Ruo and Huan Yu Group.” After a pause, Bai Lin added, “Check on the Zheng Family in City A too..”
