The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Li Yan frowned a little. He wasn't very familiar with this voice, but it hadn't been long, so he still remembered it quite clearly.

"Yu Xiaodi? How do you have my number?"

"There's no time! Come quickly to save me! I've been captured by someone, and it was tough to find the chance to make this call to you. I couldn't reach you earlier, and now you finally picked up! Please, come save me!" Yu Xiaodi seemed extremely anxious, with a hint of sobbing in her voice.

Li Yan felt speechless for a moment; this person still hasn't given up and wants revenge. "Really? Did you just find a bad phone and, with your tech skills, managed to dial out? Wow! You're amazing, I so admire you. If I hang up, will you not be able to dial out again?"

"I'm not kidding with you!" Yu Xiaodi almost shouted, then quickly lowered her voice, "Li Yan, I know it's you. I'm Yu Xiaodi. I've been kidnapped and can only reach you. Please come save me! I know you can save me..."

"If you have trouble, call the police. Don't know the police number? I can tell you. Dial 110, someone will definitely answer." Li Yan said as he was about to hang up.

Yu Xiaodi pleaded tearfully from the other end: "Li Yan! I'm telling the truth, I don't know where I am now..."

"Nerve! Lying is a skill, you need to be more professional. If you don't know where you are, calling the police won't help, what's the point of calling me?"

"I don't know..." Yu Xiaodi's voice trembled a bit, "They locked me in a dark room and took my bag. My phone was in the bag, and I can't remember any contact numbers..."

Li Yan sat down, pretending to listen as if it were a story. Can't remember any home numbers but remembers mine, who would believe that!

"... The phone I'm calling you from now is a different one. I kept it in my pocket because everything else was in the bag. They didn't take this phone. I bought this phone separately, and your number is the only one on it, so I can only reach out to you..."

"Keep making things up."

"I'm not!" Yu Xiaodi gritted her teeth and continued: "I admit I initially had bad intentions. I planned to use it to make silent calls at night to scare you but didn't dare use my number, so I bought a new phone and saved your number. But I haven't used it to scare you! This phone, which wasn't taken away, has only your number. I'm bad with numbers, can't remember others' numbers, don't randomly memorize phone numbers. If I could contact my dad, would I be begging you like this?"

Li Yan was slightly stunned. From their last interaction, her personality indeed might resort to such childish methods for revenge. Maybe saving her from the car accident last time made her realize something, or the silent call harassment. Could she really be in trouble?

He did suspect last time's incident to be man-made, but it wasn't his business, so he didn't investigate further, just reminded her to be careful. Could it be that after failing the car crash, someone kidnapped her?

What were the bodyguards doing? Uh, with her personality, aside from wanting them for work, she indeed doesn't seem like someone who'd want to have a watchdog.

"Hey... are you still listening...? If you don't save me..." Yu Xiaodi pleaded with a teary voice, "They are targeting my dad, they might not kill me, but they might... wah..."

At the point of fear, she couldn't help but sob. But soon she covered her mouth, listened for a while, then whispered, "Someone's back! I can't talk anymore, come save me quickly!"

Hearing the rustling sounds, he guessed Yu Xiaodi was hiding the phone. Li Yan felt a bit at a loss, you could at least tell me who your dad is, even if I don't have his number, having his name would help. Trusting someone you've met twice, who's rather an opponent, is beyond foolish, right?

But on second thought, any girl under twenty in such a situation would be helpless. Being able to think beyond yelling for help and holding on to the only hope as a lifeline is already impressive. Not habitually hanging up on her is also commendable.

The voice on the other end lowered, unclear where it was hidden, making it inconvenient to shout loudly at her.

Li Yan was in a dilemma, needing to choose between a deceptively more convincing prankster and a possibly seriously endangered kidnapped girl.

What else could he do?

Just because it might be a prank, should he not act? Uh... Although not seeing it for himself, hearing it also weighs on his conscience.

Unable to continue running calmly, Li Yan immediately returned to his room, found another phone, dialed a number, spoke softly for a few moments, then hurriedly changed into a set of clothes.

Not having the luxury to take a shower, unlike Brother Baihu's calm, he sighed as he gathered two phones, a Bluetooth headset, and went to Zhang Yurong's office.

Knocking and opening the door, the office-bound workaholic was surprisingly not there at this moment!

He had no choice but to go to the main bedroom where Zhang Yurong stayed and knocked urgently.

After a while, Zhang Yurong opened the bedroom door a crack, a cautious look on her face.

"What do you want?"

Having just returned not long ago, she was very tired, took a shower, and as soon as she undressed, she heard urgent knocking. The only one who would knock here is her husband, the one legally qualified to enter, so she couldn't help being a bit wary.

Seeing her hastily put on clothes, Li Yan immediately understood but had no time for small talk, straightforwardly said: "Give me the car keys, need to borrow your car!"

Just that simple? Zhang Yurong, who suspected he might have some excuse, had prepared to deal with him, only to busy herself for nothing.

"Hurry, I'm in a rush!"

Zhang Yurong then realized, "In... the bag in the living room, get it yourself..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Li Yan already leave, and quickly added, "Don't rummage through my other stuff!"

"Really, not even a thank you, so rude..." Zhang Yurong muttered with a sigh of relief, though slightly puzzled why her laid-back husband, appropriate for his status in the company, would choose to borrow a car for appearances tonight. Meeting an old flame? Female netizen?

Thinking about her husband possibly driving her car to meet another girl, as indifferent as she was, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

Showing off? A date?

At this moment, as Li Yan fumbled for the car keys, if he knew, he'd be amused and exasperated; he simply thought his little QQ wouldn't suffice, so he borrowed a faster, more powerful car to drive.

A few minutes later, as Li Yan drove out, a gentle voice came through the headset: "Li Yan... are you still there?"

"Even if you're not, I'm still here," Li Yan said, adjusting the volume lower.

"Oh... good... let me tell you..." Yu Xiaodi spoke softly, as if whispering, straining her voice, "… No one's come in, there's just one person outside eating. When buying food so quickly... I estimate there's a restaurant not far around here, can't have deliveries sent over, should be easy to find, afraid of being discovered... so far it's only one person... when they kidnapped me there were many... if you're coming, come quickly, don't wait for them all to return... that's all the info I have, all depends on you now, please..."

After that, she fell silent. Still capable of observing and analyzing? Should he commend her calmness or suspect it's a deliberate trap? Li Yan drove without much speed, just leaving Houhai Villa District, waiting for a call.
