Chapter 370
Gu Ren heard Ye Zhi’s name again, and this time, the hatred that swept across his eyes disappeared in a flash.
His thin lips pursed tightly, indicating that at this moment, there was a surge of anger boiling under the mask of a seemingly calm appearance.
Sheng Lian asked again, “Are you interested in doing this with me?”
Liu Cang looked at Gu Ren, who nodded slightly, so he replied, “How can I not make money if I have money to earn?”
Gu Ren was extremely angry now, but he didn’t stop moving and typed a line of words calmly.
Liu Cang glanced at the screen of the mobile phone and read out the sentence, “Let’s meet at a place to discuss this matter in detail.”
Liu Cang told Sheng Lian a location and the other party agreed.
As Liu Cang hung up the phone, Qi Cheng said, “You can go home as usual these days, but we will monitor your calls and our men will be outside your house.”
The implication was that if Liu Cang made any suspicious movements, the police would know immediately.
Liu Cang nodded silently.
The next day, Liu Cang arrived at the place he agreed to meet with Sheng Lian. The police had set up monitors in advance and the conversation between the two of them could be heard by the police with the utmost clarity.
When Liu Cang arrived at the table, he glanced around. Several tables were surrounded by police officers disguised as customers who were observing their behaviour at every single moment.
After a while, Sheng Lian arrived and the monitoring police listened carefully.
Sheng Lian asked Liu Cang to pay close attention to Ye Zhi’s actions for the next few days and find an opportunity to follow Ye Zhi’s car. Then, they would initiate the plan to kidnap her in attempts to get the ransom from Nie Jiqing.
After some deliberation, the police asked Ye Zhi to stop at one place on purpose on the day when the action was going to be taken. The police would lay an ambush there in advance, and as soon as Sheng Lian made a move, they would immediately arrest him.
During this time, the people around Ye Zhi have been replaced by policemen, who were protecting Ye Zhi and preparing for that fateful day.
On this day, the police were going to take action to arrest Sheng Lian and Ye Zhi was about to go out. At this moment, a low and hoarse voice sounded behind her, “Ye Zhi.”
As soon as Ye Zhi turned her head, she was held in a cold embrace. Gu Ren put his hands around her shoulders, hugging her ever so tightly. He lowered his head as his chin rested on Ye Zhi’s neck. The warmth of his body enveloped her like a fine and gentle net.
The air was silent and Gu Ren didn’t say anything; just content to hug her like that.
Ye Zhi didn’t ask him anything either, but they already knew what the other was thinking about.
Ye Zhi raised her hand and hugged Gu Ren gently. She put her hand on his back and touched it gently, soothing the worries and unrest in his heart.
She understood all of his worries. However, they were going to face the next stream of events together.
Ye Zhi continued to work as usual. Although she was relatively nervous, she didn’t show any of that unease on her face.
After Ye Zhi finished work, she went to the car and was about to open the door when she noticed that someone was coming towards her.
Ye Zhi turned her head and looked over.
