The mother and son, Yun Chan and Yun Yi, also hadn’t slept.
They were discussing how to deal with Lian Lian and Li Yan.
"I plan to report to the police," Yun Chan said as she watched Yun Yi’s expression, "Based on the evidence we have and your testimony as the victim, they won’t escape a charge of intentional injury. With your injuries, they’ll be sentenced to at least a year. Lian Lian will get off easy since she’s pregnant; she’ll probably get a suspended sentence."
This was why she had been wrestling with this issue for the past few days.
Yun Yi was injured and lost his memory, almost resulting in her losing her only son, and she felt a suspended sentence for Lian Lian was too lenient!
She had better and legal ways to make these two pay, even investigating Lian Lian and Li Yan’s family backgrounds.
Lian Lian came from an ordinary family, and Li Yan’s family was slightly better off, considered a small wealthy family, but still not enough to compare to her.
With very little effort, she could ensure these two never have a proper job or any company willing to employ them, making them regret for the rest of their lives what they did.
But if she did that, she would occasionally have to keep an eye on them or listen to reports about their situations. For the sake of Lian Lian and Li Yan, she wasn’t willing to waste even a second on them now.
It was better to just report to the police; even if Lian Lian didn’t have to go to jail due to her pregnancy, having a criminal record would be a permanent stain she could never erase.
This would be much less hassle than monitoring them herself.
"You little rascal, don’t tell me you’re going soft?"
Yun Yi, annoyed at his mother’s disapproving glance, shook his head vigorously and shouted, "No way!"
"Alright, alright, don’t shake, your memory just recovered, be careful not to shake it away again." Yun Chan’s palm landed on his head, "Tomorrow morning, we’ll both go to report it."
Yun Yi changed his shaking head to a nod, "Hmm."
"And after reporting, do you plan to stay in the country or go abroad with me?" She paused and added, "The international fashion gala in a month, Lingxi will definitely attend, and she’ll most certainly have her assistant with her."
Though she sincerely felt that the possibility of her rascal son and Changning getting together was slim to none, what if? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel•fire.net
Looking at his past taste in girlfriends, she genuinely wasn’t reassured.
"I, I’ll go abroad with you, do you have a place for me in your team? I can drive pretty well, and I’ve learned photography."
Yun Chan couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "If you want to join my team, there’s a lot more you need to learn..."
Here, the mother and son’s relationship eased due to this incident, but this relaxed atmosphere didn’t even slightly affect the room separated by just one wall.
"What is this, where did you get it?"
Lian Lian looked at the item in Li Yan’s hand, her eyes confused for a moment before she remembered, "Where did you find that?"
"At the bottom of your backpack," Li Yan admitted without hesitation that he went through her bag, "I was packing my own backpack and heard something ringing in yours, so I took a look. This thing seems like a phone, but no phones are on the market, I dare say you couldn’t have gotten this with your abilities. And there’s sand in the gaps of this thing!"
Lian Lian opened her mouth, but under Li Yan’s increasingly aggressive gaze, she hesitantly replied, "It’s from that person in the desert who gave us the USB drive. He died then, Yun Yi suggested we bury him, and when I helped lift him, I felt something that seemed valuable, so I kept it hidden and brought it back. Later, too many things happened, and I just forgot!"
Li Yan once again felt like he was seeing the person in front of him anew, "You even dared to take from a dead person, I, I’m really impressed!"
Lian Lian shrank her shoulders, watching the little light on the strange phone in Li Yan’s hand continuously flash, "Did someone just call this phone?"
"I don’t know." Li Yan shook his head, frowning, "I took it out just as it stopped ringing, I’ve never seen this thing before, I have no idea how to use it." With that, he irritably smacked the table, "We can’t get out now, can’t even find someone to take a look."
How did he end up in this situation!
About not being able to get out, Lian Lian first took a few steps back to avoid becoming Li Yan’s nearby dartboard, then she cautiously spoke, "Now that Yun Yi regained his memory, will he report to the police directly? Will we..."
The rest of her words were muffled as Li Yan pounced on her and covered her mouth.
Facing Li Yan’s fierce eyes, Lian Lian couldn’t help but tremble, but she quickly noticed the hand pressing against her mouth was trembling even more than she was.
This showed that Li Yan had also considered this possibility and was perhaps no less afraid than she was.
So the big brother shouldn’t laugh at the second brother.
"Oof, let go of me, you’re pressing on my stomach!"
After all, it was his own child, but Li Yan still warned "don’t talk nonsense" before letting go.
"What should we do now?"
"How should I know? Could we possibly sneak past those bodyguards outside and escape? There should be surveillance in this room, too!"
Li Yan paced back and forth like a trapped beast, "Wait a minute!"
A sudden cry stopped him in his tracks, "What now?"
"I suddenly remembered," Lian Lian stared at the strange phone on the coffee table, "this suite has no signal."
Though neither Yun Yi nor his mother confiscated their phones, with no signal, their phones were as good as decorations.
But why was this phone able to receive a call?
They both exclaimed together.
Though it wasn’t like the satellite phones they’d seen, this was the only explanation they could come up with.
"Do you remember that strange USB drive? I have an idea."
Li Yan took a deep breath, "Go on."
He had already seen Lian Lian’s vicious nature and boldness, so maybe the idea she had would actually work.
"That day, the person who grabbed the USB drive from me, their palm got burnt, but we were fine, which means that USB drive isn’t ordinary. The person who died in the desert probably wasn’t ordinary either. I still remember how that person was dressed; he didn’t look like an ordinary person. Now, his companion has called, probably looking for him, and since we have his phone, could we demand the person on the other end to rescue us?"
Li Yan was deep in thought, but his hand instinctively picked up the phone.
"Let me study this thing first."
The two of them, rare in their cooperation, ignored how late it was and began studying the phone together, speaking one after another.
The bodyguard observing their actions through the monitor didn’t pay them any mind; with several bodyguards on watch and being on the top floor, even if someone came to save them, the outcome would be leaving yet another body behind.
If they caught someone, maybe the boss would even give them a bonus.
Their reckless fiddling managed to make the once-dark screen light up for a moment.
But before they could celebrate for a few seconds, Li Yan felt his right hand gripping the phone go numb and lose all feeling, and at the same time, the phone emitted an unpleasant burning smell.
They were both dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Luan Hua, who was driving toward them, received instructions from Yin Chong, "Chong Jiu’s phone location has disappeared, and personal information is locked. Without a doubt, someone has the phone, and he’s likely dead. Once you arrive, just knock them out and bring them out."
