Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Rou turned around abruptly, wanting to inform her father immediately. However, she didn’t expect the door to be locked when she ran toward it.
Tang Rou’s face instantly turned pale, and her heart almost stopped beating. She walked to the door and frantically hammered it, “Let me out!”
“Where are you going?” The cold male voice was like ice, instantly causing Tang Rou’s heart to turn cold.
She turned her head and realized that there was someone sitting behind the table. That person raised his head and looked at her indifferently.
It was the Ning Chen that she had seen countless times.
But at this moment, Ning Chen’s originally dark and lusterless eyes were as clear and bright as the stars in the night sky.
“You lied to me! You’re not blind at all!” Tang Rou suddenly rushed forward, “You pretended for so long, how did you do it?!”
For so many years, no one ever suspected that Ning Chen wasn’t blind. He was just pretending all this while?
What kind of endurance and patience was this? It was simply too terrifying!
If it was Tang Rou, she would feel tormented if she had to pretend to be blind for an entire day.
Ning Chen smiled indifferently, but there wasn’t a trace of a smile in his eyes. He looked coldly at Tang Rou, “If I don’t fake it, how could you take the initiative to look for me?”
It was because Ning Chen pretended to be blind that everyone thought he was easy to deal with. They all felt that they could deceive him. Even Tang Rou let down her guard in front of him.
“Then you’ve been lying to me all this time, haven’t you? You’ve never liked me, do you?” Tang Rou laughed bitterly and looked at Ning Chen mockingly.
Ning Chen looked down indifferently, “How could you think that I like you? I’ve never said that I like you.”
Tang Rou suddenly came to a realization. In an instant, she felt like she had always been a clown. She began to laugh maniacally.
“Yeah, you never admitted it. You just didn’t take the initiative and didn’t reject it. It made me feel like your attitude towards me was different. It made me think that you were starting to accept me. Ning Chen, you had me running round in circles like a fool!”
Tang Rou’s eyes flashed with vicious hatred, but Ning Chen didn’t seem to care at all. He slowly stood up, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, “Who sent you?”
Hearing his question, Tang Rou laughed even more flirtatiously, “So you don’t know everything. You don’t know where I came from, right? You want to know? Then beg me. If you beg me, I’ll tell you!”
Ning Chen glanced at Tang Rou indifferently, “You were sent by Ouyang, right?”
The smile on Tang Rou’s face froze, but then she sneered, “You should have already known about Ouyang from Zhou Lai. Zhou Lai, that soft-hearted guy, actually confessed everything so quickly. But so what if you know? You can’t find Ouyang.”
Ning Chen nodded, “Indeed, I can’t find Ouyang.” After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Tang Rou with a faint smile, “But with you here, I feel that they will take the initiative to find me.”
The blood suddenly disappeared from Tang Rou’s face, but she quickly reacted, with a bit of a fierce look on her face, she roared, “What’s the use of you catching me? I’m insignificant, just like Zhou Lai. You won’t be able to get anything out of me. Besides, I’m not Zhou Lai. So many people outside know that I came to your place today. If you dare to imprison me like you did with Zhou Lai, the Tang family will soon call the police on you!”
Tang Rou laughed proudly, “I’m the daughter of the Tang family! You can’t touch me!”
Ning Chen didn’t comment on Tang Rou’s words. He only asked in an indifferent tone: “Is that so?”
The next day, Tang Rou posted a photo of herself next to Ning Chen on her social media platform. She added, “Out and about with my dearest. The sun is unforgiving! A selfie with him~”
No one took this news seriously. Only a few gossipy commenters left comments below, asking how far Tang Rou’s relationship with Ning Chen had progressed.
Seeing Ning Chen take away her phone, Tang Rou struggled desperately in her chair, “Ning Chen, you bastard!” But at this moment, she was tied up in her chair and couldn’t move at all.
Previously, Tang Rou had thought that Ning Chen was blind, so she didn’t have any vigilance in front of Ning Chen. She didn’t even avoid Ning Chen when she unlocked her phone, So Ning Chen had long since memorized her the password.
After gaining access to Tang Rou’s phone, Ning Chen assumed Tang Rou’s identity and sent a few messages out. He edited a caption and attached a selfie from Tang Rou’s phone. It looked as if Tang Rou and Ning Chen were out together, this way, Tang Rou’s disappearance for a few days wouldn’t attract any attention.
After sending the message, Ning Chen checked Tang Rou’s phone records for the past few days. Then, he sent the records to Uncle Wen for him to investigate further.
After doing all this, Ning Chen glanced at Tang Rou. He didn’t say anything and was about to leave the laboratory.
“Ning Chen, come back! Come Back!” Tang Rou’s roar muffled as the door locked.
