Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 694 - 687: A Woman’s Mind (Part 1)

Due to Leng Yichen’s words, Xiao Qiao ultimately didn’t make fish for dinner, only quickly stir-fried the vegetables they had at home and the mushrooms they picked from the mountain. The taste was quite ordinary, not showcasing any culinary skill.

Once the meal was ready, Xiao Qiao called the two of them out to eat. Only Wang Hai came out, while Leng Yichen was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is he?" Xiao Qiao asked.

"The boss doesn’t feel like eating right now." Wang Hai sat down at the dining table and started eating absentmindedly. In truth, he didn’t have much of an appetite either, but he understood the principle that physical strength is the capital of revolution. Finding Bai Yiran was no easy task, and maintaining his strength was crucial.

The same principle was understood by Leng Yichen. However, knowing is one thing, but whether one can eat is another. They were all adults; Wang Hai couldn’t force Leng Yichen to eat. Besides, Leng Yichen was his boss, and he didn’t have the guts to do so. Even if he did have the guts, he certainly didn’t have the strength.

No one understood Leng Yichen’s skills more than Wang Hai. Even in a professional boxing match, Leng Yichen would display an extraordinarily high level polished by years of taking hits.

Xiao Qiao took a couple of bites of food, unable to shake off her worry. She stood up abruptly, picked up the bowl prepared for Leng Yichen, served the food, and said, "Brother Hai, you keep eating, I’ll take some to him."

"Xiao Qiao..." Wang Hai actually wanted to stop her and tell her there was no need, that going now would just be asking for trouble. But this girl was too fast; he couldn’t get the words out in time.

In fact, even if Wang Hai called out, it wouldn’t have mattered; Xiao Qiao still would have gone to bring Leng Yichen his food.

In the room, Leng Yichen was on the phone. The signal here was bad, and with the rain outside, it was even worse. Communication seemed less than smooth, and Leng Yichen was becoming a bit agitated.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao stood at the door, not daring to enter immediately. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The person on the other end was Gao Sheng. After leaving the small shop in town, Leng Yichen had informed Gao Sheng that Wu Chengzu and Yao Zhiqing might be hiding in this place.

Gao Sheng was excited upon hearing this, immediately reporting to superiors and dispatching the police. However, due to consecutive heavy rains causing a landslide, repairing the road was necessary to proceed.

"Leng Yichen, I don’t recommend acting recklessly. The other side has weapons, and there are many of them. You only have two people on your side, the disparity is too huge for a successful rescue, and it will only alert them instead."

Gao Sheng’s words were rational. Everyone needed to remain calm; dealing with those desperate fugitives required a well-planned setup.

"Are you just going to let them be if the road isn’t fixed in a day?"

Currently, no one knew Wu Chengzu’s exact location. Leng Yichen had only provided Gao Sheng with the name of the small town, but the road leading there was out of action due to natural factors that no one could change.

"If they are really in town, with the road out, they can’t leave either."

"What if they’re not in this town? What if they just passed through and are hiding somewhere else? They must have another way out. What if they move? Will you take responsibility for that?"

Gao Sheng was silent, understanding that no one could bear that responsibility.

After a while, Gao Sheng sighed, "They’re already working overtime to repair the road. I’m sure it will be passable soon. If you insist on continuing to search for Bai Yiran on your own, I can’t stop you. I can only remind you to be careful."

This was a pointless phone call. Leng Yichen hung up straight away, turning to see Xiao Qiao standing at the door.
