Chapter 344 Asse

After deciding what to do with the rescue operation, Jiang Yue decided to call Shen Rong to inform her about their plans.

Shen Rong was in a cafe at that moment, enjoying some time alone after the tiring conversation with her family members.

The duo's conversation went on, as Jiang Yue decided to ask Shen Rong about her current situation with the Main Family. Were they bullying her? Or did they pressure her father to set up an engagement with Zhang Wenhao?

Of course, Shen Rong told Jiang Yue everything that had happened since she arrived at M Country. Including the fact that her cousin seemed to have developed a habit of getting close to her. She found it very suspicious. She also told Jiang Yue about the fact that Zhang Wenhao and her cousin had an intimate relationship.

This conversation, however, was interrupted when a guy, who seemed to recognize Shen Rong as a graphic artist and designer of Jiang Yue's games, asked her to give an autograph.

Shen Rong instantly signed the document and continued her conversation with Jiang Yue. At that time, she did not find the man suspicious, as he was dressed very well. In fact, the man looked like a student with the way he carried himself.

"Alright, take care and call me if something happens." Jiang Yue said before ending the call with Shen Rong.

"How is she?"

Jiang Yue had just put down her phone when she suddenly heard Wang Minghua's voice from behind.

"What are you doing?" She asked as she turned to face him, before dramatically stroking her chest. "Do you want me to die from a heart attack?"

"Sorry, I was just curious," he said.

"Then, why don't you call her yourself? Ay… Minghua, tell me honestly. Do you like Shen Rong?"

"Why would I like that noisy woman?" He glared at her. "I was just concerned about the company! What if something happens to her? Then, we will lose a valuable asset! Alright? She is an asset in the company!"

Seeing Jiang Yue smirk at him, Wang Minghua could only grit his teeth before storming away from Jiang Yue.

"Just like a kid." She thought out loud.

Her cousin was indeed very cute. She wondered, how long had it been that Wang Minghua started liking Shen Rong. And why was he so slow to tell her? Wasn't he afraid that someone else would own Shen Rong's heart?

Jiang Yue could only shake her head as she wondered if she should help her cousin and tell Shen Rong about his feelings. However, Jiang Yue instantly decided not to do that. After all, Wang Minghua was a grown-up man. She doubted that he wanted her to intervene in his personal matters.

"What's wrong with Minghua, he seemed to be not in his right mind today." Fu Jin asked the moment Jiang Yue entered the room.

"He likes Shen Rong and is too stubborn to accept it," she answered before laying down on the bed. "I wanna spend the rest of our vacation like this." She declared.

"By the way… Can you check if there was a storm at B Country last night?" She added. "I have tried to call Long Die this morning, but I can't seem to reach her phone."

Jiang Yue and Fu Jin decided to use the name Long Die when talking about Wang Ruo, just to avoid questions if someone accidentally heard their conversations.

"No... " Fu Jin answered. "Have you sent her an email?"

"Yes. But I haven't received any reply yet. Maybe, she is just busy." She said. "It's okay, I can wait. It's not really a big deal. I was just checking if she was alright."

Jiang Yue badly wanted to talk to her mother and ask her about the things that the King had said but she couldn't compromise and do it over the phone. Moreover, she also wanted to talk to her in person, to see her reaction.

Though her facial reaction would be useless if she indeed had been trained to lie just like what the king told her.

"How about her personal guards?" She asked. She just remembered that her mother had her own personal bodyguard.

"I was actually trying to call everyone, who was with her in M Country…" Fu Jin started. "And it seems that I can't reach anyone."

Jiang Yue's face instantly paled as she jolted up from the bed. She then ran towards her laptop and turned it on in seconds.

Her hands instantly flew on the keyboards, as she typed a series of codes. A moment later, Jiang Yue's face darkened.

"She's gone!" She blurted out before looking at Fu Jin. Her face was full of fear, horror, and anger. "My mother! She's gone! Someone has taken her!"
