Chapter 213 - 203: Women, It’s Okay Without Them! (First Update)
Yuan Hang nodded, "I think so too, our people are already following."
"Send another group to follow her secretly as well." Tong Airui paused slightly, "Her base and house should be under tight surveillance, don’t miss any suspicious points. Also, have our people reextract DNA samples from Du Ma’s body."
"Master, you suspect..."
"I just don’t want to overlook any possible clues. With the post-war restructuring, her leaving now definitely raises questions." Tong Airui threw the phone onto the table, cursing under his breath, "I originally planned to head back today, but now they’ve decided to create trouble for me at this inconvenient time."
"Go back? What about this situation here?" Yuan Hang asked, confused.
Tong Airui glanced at his shoulder insignia, "You’re not young anymore. For my sake, up until now, you don’t have a family or a reputation. I plan to give you a hand up."
Yuan Hang shook his head, "My life was given by the old Duke. I’m already grateful for what I have now. What good is fame to me? Protecting you well is what I should do. As for a family, having one becomes a burden. Look how haggard you’ve become just a few days after leaving; you should give up on women."
"That’s what someone who’s never been in love would say; those who have wouldn’t speak that way." Tong Airui laughed lightly and shook his head, "Leave the post-war peacemaking to you. Once you find out what tricks Katie’s up to, I’ll head back. I have a bad premonition... go ahead and get to work; I’ll think it over a bit more."
Yuan Hang responded and exited.
After Yi Luowa hung up Tong Airui’s call, she carefully lay back down. As soon as her head touched the pillow, Tong Yao opened her eyes, "Finished so quickly? I was wondering if I should pretend to sleep a bit longer."
Yi Luowa smiled apologetically, "Mom, I’m sorry for waking you."
"I was about to wake up anyway." Tong Yao looked at her lovingly, "You have dark circles under your eyes, did it hurt so much last night that you couldn’t sleep well?"
