Thousands of miles away in Beijing, the man was sitting in front of the French window, looking at the interface on his phone.
The lights in the office were off, and the glow from Beijing’s central business district building shone on his face.
He looked at the ongoing call interface on his phone, and his eyes flickered with a dark light.
He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip. The taste of red wine and eucalyptus leaves mixed together and permeated the air.
The girl on the other end of the phone had already fallen asleep, and the sound of steady breathing came from the other end.
Unknowingly, the man’s breathing rate gradually became the same as Guo Miao’s.
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
“Enter,” Tong Pei said. He turned off the microphone on his phone but did not hang up.
Tong Huan walked in. He didn’t turn on the lights and stopped two meters away.
“The second and third families have indeed begun to take action. Your plan should be able to begin. They’re contacting JS and KS now. I reckon they’ll start working together soon,” Tong Huan said respectfully.
“Tell Jin Xu to keep a close eye on KS. Don’t make any mistakes with the contract,” Tong Pei said slowly, “Get someone to keep an eye on JS. Just don’t let them touch Guo Miao.”
“Alright.” Tong Huan nodded. “Fifth Young Master, you’re really good at predicting things,”
“You’ll naturally understand after having gone through it many times.” Tong Pei suddenly spoke as if he was mocking himself, his tone carrying a faint sense of helplessness.
“What did you say?” Tong Huan thought that he had heard wrongly, “Isn’t this the first time we’re fighting the second and third families head-on?”
“Yes, I remembered wrongly,” said Tong Pei.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Tong Yao is still in Haicheng,” Tong Huan said.
Tong Pei nodded.
“It was the right decision for you to let Young Master Tong Yao go to Haicheng so many years in advance,” Tong Huan said.
In the beginning, Tong Yao grew up in the capital, but later on, in order to protect Tong Yao, he was temporarily allowed to live with the Zhong family in Haicheng. He did not expect that he could protect Guo Miao now.
“Then, 1’11 go deal with the matter of JS first.” After Tong Huan finished speaking, he walked out of the office.
Tong Pei looked at the number on his phone, his eyes carrying a faint sadness.
This time, he would definitely succeed.
At this moment, in Hongcheng, Tong Yao, Zhong Nian, and the others were sitting on the rooftop of the villa, eating supper.
When Lin Nian saw Tong Yao, she also walked to the rooftop.
Tong Yao was eating, but when he saw Lin Nian, he stood up and was about to leave.
Lin Nian stood in front of Tong Yao and stopped him. “Wait.”
“What’s wrong? Don’t you know how much trouble you caused today?” Tong Yao said expressionlessly.
If Uncle Wu knew that Guo Miao’s illness today was related to Lin Nian, she would probably lose her head.
“It was my fault today. I know now that Guo Miao is really a good girl, but she doesn’t like you.”
Tong Yao was stunned when he heard that.
Before he could react, Zhong Nian laughed out loud. Zhong Nian knew about Tong Pei and Guo Miao, but he didn’t expect Lin Nian to interpret it this way. “What are you laughing at?!” Lin Nian protested unhappily, “Isn’t that so? My intuition is very accurate.”
“Accurate, my a*s.” Tong Yao’s face darkened. How would he dare to like Guo Miao? Wouldn’t he be torn apart by Fifth Uncle?
“Guo Miao isn’t my crush. Don’t make wild guesses,” Tong Yao said with a dark face,”
“Oh,” Lin Nian replied. “I’m now Goddess Miao’s number one fan. I swear to protect Guo Miao.”
Everyone laughed. The conflict between the few of them dissipated like melting snow.
“But what did you mean just now? Does Guo Miao have a crush?” asked the man who was eating.
“Yes, Goddess Miao does have a crush. It should be someone who treats her very well.” Lin Nian rested her chin on her hand. “She said that she didn’t care what kind of person that person was. She cared about how that person treated her.”
Tian Yang lowered his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to be a little disappointed.
“Someone who treats her well?” Tong Yao frowned.
Although his Fifth Uncle treated Guo Miao well, he was not by her side every day. The person Guo Miao was talking about should not be his Fifth Uncle. Then, who was she talking about?
This was an incredible piece of information. He had to tell Fifth Uncle as soon as possible..
