C175

Night, Hong Kong.

In the suite on the top floor of the 7-Star Beach Hotel, Gong Yan finished his shower and came out of the bathroom. In the suite on the top floor of the 7-Star Beach Hotel, Gong Yan finished his shower and came out of the bathroom.

He walked up to the bar he'd brought with him and had just taken out his glass of wine when his cell phone, which had been muted on the table, lit up.

Naturally, he turned around and walked over to pick up his phone.

He looked at the name that lit up on the screen.

He ran his finger across the screen and placed the phone beside his ear. "What is it?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was Tang Sen's official tone, but it sounded even more desolate than usual. "Young Master Gong, Miss Su has returned to Cloud City."

Gong Yan paused when he was holding the bottle, his eyebrows suddenly sank, "When?"

He put down the red wine in his hand and walked over to the French window. He looked out at the pitch-black night sea, and his pitch-black and deep eyes were like the surging waves of the night.

"The news I just received should be coming soon. She had disguised herself, but a sharp-eyed person down below recognized her."

Gong Yan narrowed his eyes.

He had planted spies in Hong Kong, and logically speaking, her every move was being watched, but she was still able to sneak out.

Why would she want to return to Cloud City at this time?

Surrender?

He quickly dismissed the idea. She wouldn't do something so stupid.

Gong Yan's thin lips slightly tightened, his deep voice was especially clear in the empty room, "What did she do to make you not dare to directly capture her?"

When Townsend received the news, he didn't just take her down. It also proved that she had something to fear, so he didn't dare act rashly. Instead, he gave her a call.

Asking her to return to Cloud City, no matter what her goal was, the situation slowly began to change.

"She has three people with her, so she should be a member of some organization that has left. She seems to be pretty good, with all of them on her person, and I'm afraid the police and the media will be alerted to the exchange of gunfire outside, and they'll have to follow them until news of me comes."

While he was speaking, Gong Yan took out his clothes from the wardrobe, quickly took off his bathrobe with one hand, and put on his shirt.

"Where are you now?" He moved quickly, and in a short while, he was fully dressed. He then opened the door and walked out.

That day, he had forced Qin Luofan to hand over that woman. Even if Qin Luofan had the heart to protect her, Old Qin, the head of the Qin family, would not allow him to continue indulging himself like this.

Offending him was undoubtedly offending the palace. Old Man Qin, who had started his life from scratch, clearly understood the pros and cons of weighing the pros and cons.

Without her last bit of protection, it wasn't strange for her to walk this path.

But the most important thing was that if she didn't want to turn back, she was still trying to pull someone down with her …

Thinking of this, Gong Yan's steps couldn't help but quicken.

Townsend sat in the driver's seat, his eyes resting on the dining room across the street, smoke drifting out between his fingers on the steering wheel. "I'm looking at the young lady right now, but I don't see anything unusual. I'll deal with it as soon as I can."

"Take care of her. I'll head back now. Don't let any accidents happen to her before I arrive."

"Yes."

"..."

In a restaurant.

Pei Luoyi focused all her attention on what she was going to do later. She also had a small appetite for the best dishes on the table.

"What's wrong, Sister Yi Yi? The dishes don't suit your appetite?" Tong Jia sat across from her. After seeing that the dishes had been served for a long time, she did not move her chopsticks and asked.

Pei Luoyi snapped out of her daze and shook her head with a smile, "No, I'm just thinking about something. Eat it."

Tong Jia looked at her thoughtfully and nodded. Finally, she raised her head and asked, "You are … "Are you thinking about the painting?"

It seemed like he had been absent-minded all day?

Hearing her question, she smiled and replied, "Yes, that painting is very important to me. I've been looking for a long time, and now that I've found a clue, I have a feeling that it isn't real."

Then, as if she thought of something, she asked, "Oh right, has your friend had dinner? Do you need us to bring some?"

Tong Jia was still deep in thought after hearing her words. She suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Oh, no need. I asked him just now. He said that he had already eaten. We can go find him after we finish eating."

"Alright." Pei Luoyi nodded and did not say anything else.

The two of them ate in silence. Halfway through their meal, a phone call came in.

Pei Luoyi picked up her cellphone and glanced at the name displayed on it. Her lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

"Where are you?"

As soon as the call was picked up, the man's low and even slightly tight voice came from the other end of the line. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the slight gross disorder on the other end.

Pei Luoyi's smile lightened a bit as a trace of indescribable nervousness rose up in her heart. She spoke with a puzzled tone, "Eating? What's wrong?" You don't sound right... "

"Outside?" Instead of answering her question, the man asked her.

Pei Luoyi was even more confused now. When she heard his tone, she tensed up, even her words were tinged with nervousness. "Yes …" Yeah, I'm having dinner with a colleague.

The man was quiet for a moment, then said slowly, "It's fine. If you have nothing to do after you eat, then go back and rest early. Do you understand?"

It was obvious that something had happened, but he had hidden it from her.

Pei Luoyi was not a slow person, so he was clear on this point.

Her red lips moved. Just as she was about to reply, she suddenly remembered something she had to do later. The words stuck in her throat.

On the opposite side of the table, Tonya was eating with her head down, as if she was deaf to the situation on her side.

Pei Luoyi looked at her and bit her lips. In the end, she decided to hide it from him first.

She had never intended to tell him about this before, and this was such a rare opportunity that she couldn't afford to miss it.

"Alright, I'll be back after eating." She obediently agreed, but when she spoke, she still felt guilty.

Seeing that he had agreed, the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Yeah, I still have something on here, I'll call you later."

Pei Luoyi, "Oh …" "Alright."

The call ended.

Pei Luoyi looked at the screen extinguishing on its own. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly creased in unease.

What on earth was going on …? She understood that with a man's personality, there shouldn't be any big issues. He wouldn't suddenly call her and remind her of those ridiculous words.

But if she didn't say anything, she couldn't know what had happened.

After pondering for a moment, he felt his head hurt.

Forget it, it's better not to think about it. In any case, she shouldn't be able to help him with the matters that he could solve.
