Chapter 445: No Answer and No Return Call

The man looked at the big bosses seated across the mahjong table with a confused look. “Brother Ling, are we accepting the mission or not?”

Yun Ling waved his hand with a spiteful look. “No, no.”

“Okay.” The man bowed slightly. “I shall take my leave, Brother Ling.”

Yun Ling tapped a mahjong tile on the table repeatedly and did not speak.

“Hold on,” Yun Ling suddenly said as the man passed him.

The man turned around. Lin Shuang and the others turned to him subconsciously. They wondered what he was going to do.

Yun Ling picked up his phone and gave Gu Mang a call. His voice was low. “I think I should ask the big boss first.”

The others looked at him in silence as they waited for the outcome.

...

The moment Gu Mang’s phone vibrated, she widened her eyes. Lu Chengzhou, who had just put his tablet onto the bedside table, heard the sound and turned around. He made eye contact with Gu Mang’s cold, black, and distant eyes.

The girl looked at him. She was very alert. There were very few people who would be immediately vigilant and alert right after waking up. This was the third time that Lu Chengzhou had seen Gu Mang like this. Her eyes were like icy objects. There was no warmth at all in them. Gu Mang looked away and slanted her head to retrieve her phone.

When she saw that it was from an unknown caller, she pressed the decline button expressionlessly and put the phone back.

Lu Chengzhou looked at her. “Are you not going to answer it?”

Gu Mang acknowledged with a hum. “Harassment call.”

Lu Chengzhou nodded. “Continue sleeping?”

“Tired,” Gu Mang uttered. She pulled the pillow behind her down and lay on it. Then, she shut her eyes.

Lu Chengzhou pushed the hair on her face to the back of her ears and turned around to switch off the light.

...

Meanwhile.

Yun Ling was not surprised that she declined the call. It wasn’t the first time that this had happened. The big boss was known to be aloof. Regardless, she would probably get back to him soon.

The group continued playing mahjong and told the person who came to report the news to return to wait for an outcome. But even after they had finished four rounds of mahjong, Yun Ling still received no response. Yun Ling picked up his phone several times to confirm it. He did not receive any missed calls.

He frowned and found it rather unbelievable. “What’s going on? Is big boss busy?”

Why did she not answer or return the call?

Lin Shuang could guess what was going on without much effort. She told Yun Ling with a calm voice, “It’s midnight where Arctic Fox is now. Where do you think she is?”

Yun Ling thought of Lu Chengzhou instantly. Black Eagle and another hacker were dumbfounded when they heard her. In the past, only Lin Shuang had been close with Arctic Fox. Now, it seemed like Yun Ling had also met Arctic Fox in person.

Black Eagle felt really sad that he had never seen his big boss before. The previous time, he had missed out on seeing her in Country K. But what did picking up the phone or not have to do with it being midnight?

“What’s wrong with it being midnight?” Black Eagle asked with a confused look. “Everyone in Shadow League is single. Don’t singles go through the same thing in the middle of the night? Why would it be inconvenient for her to pick up the call?”

Yun Ling and Lin Shuang did not answer. They just gave him an odd look.

Another hacker gave off an expression that showed that he had understood suddenly. He raised his voice. “Oh! I know now! Does big boss have a girlfriend already? At such a timing, he must be... hehehe...” As he spoke, he gave an infatuated smile.

The other three were speechless.

The four of them played mahjong until 9am in the next morning. At that time, the stock market of Country K opened. They were not very tired. Black Eagle took his laptop and looked at the current status of the Country K stock market together. The changes in the trends were still inexplicably odd but they were still under control.

The main thing was that fear of the unknown had caused panic.
