Chapter 499: Quick to Arrive

Mandy looked at the man in front of her, the joy after the calamity not preserved for long. Her face once again looked frightened, her gaze settling not far away at the gun in the tall, unconscious, thin man’s hand.

Small Guy stood there, seeing through Mandy’s thoughts. He bent down and took the black handgun and, under Mandy’s gaze of despair, disassembled it.

Mandy quickly backtracked, staring at Small Guy, now alert. “Why are you here?”

Small Guy threw the scattered pieces of the gun in his hand on the floor. “I obviously followed you here.”

“You…” Mandy looked frightened. “You mean, you heard the conversation that transpired between me and him?”

Small Guy nodded.

Mandy inhaled deeply. “Then, have you come to kill me?”

Mandy knew that Small Guy was Ling Tianya’s bodyguard. Since he overheard their conversation, that would mean that everything she had done was now exposed.

Small Guy laughed, pulling Mandy up from the floor. “The young madame only ordered for me to save you and not to kill you.”

“What…” Mandy looked at Small Guy, astonished. “Ling Tianya told you to come save me? How did she know that I was going to be killed? She…”

The more Mandy thought about it, the more frightened she got. If Ling Tianya was able to anticipate that she was going to get killed today, then as for the other things…

Small Guy didn’t have the patience to answer Mandy’s question. He coldly said, “I recorded your conversation just now. I was only following orders. The young madame still has a use for you, so for the time being, you are safe.”

After he was done speaking, Small Guy lifted Mandy in one hand and lifted the unconscious man with the other and walked out of the factory in large strides.

When Ruan Qishan, Madame Ruan, and Ling Tianya arrived home, they ordered for Mr. Zhong to bring Mandy to them. In the end, even after Mr. Zhong and his people searched the entire Ruan mansion, Mandy was nowhere to be found.

It was only after they looked through the surveillance recordings that they realized that Mandy had driven off when no one noticed.

Ruan Qishan ordered for Mr. Zhong to go into Mandy’s room but he found nothing there. Even Ling Tianya’s half-eaten bowl of nourishment soup had disappeared from the third floor. All of the evidence that was disadvantageous towards Mandy had disappeared. Although everyone was aware that Ling Tianya’s current situation definitely had something to do with Mandy, they were not able to find any evidence against her.

Wang Yazhi sat on the sofa, weeping in shame. “This is all my fault. In the past, it was because Mandy had saved me and I pitied the fact that she was staying on Huxin Island alone so I allowed her to stay at home. Who knew that she would be so evil, using me to harm Yaya? Why is she so terrible?”

Madame Ruan sighed, dejected. The love she held for Ling Tianya was not a small matter. “As the old expression says, a woman’s feelings are the most evil. Once a woman is angered, she is scarier than 10 men combined.”

Ruan Qishan sat there, his expression dark. He was profoundly affected by the fact that Ling Tianya was now barren.

At this moment, Mr. Zhong came to report that Ruan Guofu had arrived with third Mrs. Ruan.

Madame Ruan coldly snorted. “Humph, they sure were quick to arrive!”

Just as she was done speaking, Ruan Guofu and third Mrs. Ruan walked in, laden with grief. “Big brother, I heard that something has happened to my nephew’s wife? What is going on?”

Ruan Qishan’s complexion changed and he finally nodded. “Right. How did you know?”
