Chapter 352: 339 The Truth, Seeing Ying Zijin’s Future [1 more update]

Not even a breath could be heard.

Complete silence.

Jiang Ran put down his chopsticks, his heart felt like it was being squeezed by a large hand, and he called out again, “Mom?”

However, there was still no sound on the other end.

Although Jiang Ran’s hearing wasn’t as good as Ling Zhonglou’s, it was still far superior to that of an ordinary person.

He wouldn’t miss any sound.

Moreover, this phone call wasn’t in line with Jiang Huaping’s character.

When Jiang Huaping called him, she would never be silent.

Something had happened.

These three words leaped into Jiang Ran’s mind, and his breathing quickened.

Jiang Ran steadied his mind and spoke for the third time, pretending to be unaware of anything, “Mom, say something, why do you always like to scare your son?”

“It’s fine.”

Two very calm words.

It was Jiang Huaping’s voice.

But Jiang Ran could clearly hear that something was off in her tone.

“As long as it’s fine,” Jiang Ran continued pretending, “I thought you were going to hit me again.”

The call was then disconnected.

Jiang Ran quickly opened a location system on his phone, where a red dot was flashing continuously.

The red dot was 800 kilometers away from him.

This was Jiang Huaping’s location.

The Ling Family is a very special family within the Ancient Martial World, as it does not adhere to the old-fashioned views.

Other Ancient Martial Families reject the use of modern high technology and firearms.

They believe that ancient martial artists are already powerful enough and do not need these things to strengthen themselves, setting strict rules in the process.

If any family member is found using high-tech products outside of the family’s specified list, they would be punished.

But the Ling Family wasn’t the same; Ling Zhonglou even provided firearms for his family members.

Although ancient martial artists can block bullets once their Inner Strength is cultivated to a certain extent,

there’s a saying: “Even a hundred precautions can’t account for one oversight.” You never know when an accident might occur.

Having extra protection can sometimes save a life.

Jiang Ran didn’t think further, grabbed his coat, and rushed out of the apartment.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Jiang Huaping was incapable of refining Ancient Martial Arts, and Ling Zhonglou was very worried about this, so he could only provide her with the best weapons and bodyguards.

There were a total of two bodyguards, but their strength was absolutely among the top ten within the entire Ling Family.

In theory, outside the Ancient Martial World, if ordinary people had any ill intentions towards Jiang Huaping, they wouldn’t even get close to her before being knocked out by her bodyguards.

Jiang Ran suspected that maybe a family that was the Ling Family’s archenemy had come to Shanghai City.

If they were also from an Ancient Martial Family, they certainly had the capability to harm Jiang Huaping.

He checked what was 800 kilometers away.

A small city called “Nan City.”

When Jiang Ran was about to book a flight, he found that there were no flights from Shanghai City to Nan City, nor were there any high-speed trains.

The only train was a regular one that took eighteen hours.

Jiang Ran was extremely anxious, so he made a call to Xiu Yu to borrow her racing car.

He didn’t tell Xiu Yu that he suspected something had happened to Jiang Huaping, only that he was trying to escape from his father’s pursuit.

Jiang Ran started the car and began to race at high speed.

Hopefully, nothing would go wrong.

At this moment, in Nan City.

Inside that rental room.

“Jiang Huaping.” Ye Suhe held a gun in her hand, pointing it at the heart of the woman in the cheongsam, coldly stating, “I’ve let you make the call. Now, turn off your phone and throw it over here.”

Jiang Huaping sat in the chair, casting a brief glance at Ye Suhe and, without saying anything, tossed her phone over.

After catching it, Ye Suhe picked up a hemp rope and tied Jiang Huaping’s arms as well.

Only after she was sure Jiang Huaping couldn’t break free did she feel relieved.
