    Chapter 40 Information

    [Qingrang, are you okay?I’m worried about you.】

    [Chen…he is in a bad mood recently, I’m afraid…]

    [You said before that you would always protect me, didn’t you?】

    [Qingrang, where are you?】

    [Why doesn’t Qingrang reply to me?!Why!I hate you!】

    【fraud!What a shame!You are a complete coward!!!】

    Lu Qingrang’s fingertips hovered above the broken screen, and the messages that gradually slipped from worry and concern to hysteria were drawn one by one.

    The fingers holding the phone turned white, and the entire palm of his hand trembled uncontrollably.

    Sure enough…do you still care?

    There was a very faint bitter arc on his lips, with a strong sense of self-mockery.

    Several harassing messages popped up at inappropriate times on the phone’s pop-up window, which suddenly brought Lu Qingrang back from his chaotic thoughts.

    【dd】

    [Have a chance, Brother Lu!】

    【~~~】

    It’s Xu Wen.

    The one who vowed to “be back soon” before going out, but within five minutes of leaving, he couldn’t help but start harassing him in this clumsy way.

    Lu Qing let the tight corners of his mouth soften unconsciously, and the real curve formed a slight arc.He quickly typed two words in the reply box:

    【Bubbling】

    Almost the next second after his message was successfully sent, there was a response, and the words popped out one after another:

    【Like】

    [Brother Lu, if you register a vx, you will need money via text message!We must be diligent and thrifty!】

    [My vx is: xwdsg123, remember to add me!】

    Lu Qingrang looked at the new contact information sent by Xu Wen, and the bitterness in his heart due to past events suddenly relaxed.He moved his fingers and replied:

    【Good】

    He casually exited Xu Wen’s dialog box, and the screen switched back to the hysterical dialog box.

    This time, he did not hesitate and typed a line of words calmly with his fingertips:

    [Su Xia, don’t contact me again.】

    As soon as the message was successfully sent, the other party responded almost instantly, as if he had been staring at the phone, waiting for this moment.

    【Quiet!You finally got back to me!I knew you wouldn’t really ignore me!】

    [I miss you so much, really miss you…]

    【Where are you?Tell me, okay?I just want to see you, just once…]

    Looking at these familiar emotional blackmail tactics, Lu Qingrang felt extremely calm, and the inner lake that had just been soothed by Xu Wen was no longer disturbed.

    His bony fingers responded quickly and clearly on the screen, with each word marked with a clear line:

    [Don’t say these misleading words.】

    [Pay attention to your status, you are married.】

    [I am replying to you just because I feel it is necessary to speak clearly.】

    [Between us, I don’t owe you anything.】

    This calm and almost cold response obviously hurt the other party.

    Su Xia seemed to be forced into a corner and began to play the emotional card even more crazily:

    [Qingrang, how can you be so cruel?We have known each other for so many years and have so many memories, have you forgotten them all?】

    [You were not like this before… You said you would always protect me.】

    [Are those promises all lies to me?】

    [Brother Qingrang…please, just come back and stay with me, okay?】

    Lu Qingrang looked at the familiar coquettish title on the screen, and the last trace of fluctuation in his eyes disappeared.

    He blinked his dry eyes tiredly and placed his fingertips on the screen:

    [Stop pretending, Su Xia.】

    [You are stalling for time.】

    He could almost imagine someone on the other side of the screen staring at the progress bar of the tracking program.A mixture of boredom and realization came over me.

    【I know you too well.It’s that loser Nangong Chen who wants to use this to locate me, right?】

    The moment the message was successfully sent, the prompt “The other party is typing…” at the top of the dialog box suddenly disappeared, and the person there was silent as if his throat was being strangled.

    Lu Qingrang had no expression on his face, and his finger movements were fast and steady, with the determination to completely cut off the past:

    [Trash, don’t waste your efforts.Use my things against me?】

    【Farewell to this】

    He paused, and finally gave the last bit of mercy:

    [Nangong Chen is by no means a good match, you should take care of yourself]

    After the message was sent, he didn’t give the other party any chance to respond or quibble. He simply deleted the contact, blocked the number, and directly logged out of this social account that held too many unbearable memories.

    A series of actions flowed smoothly, as if he had completed a complete break with the past.

    At this moment when the dust settled and my mind was at a loss, the phone screen lit up again, and a new text message alert broke the silence.

    [Where are the people???】

    [Why don’t you add me vx!(angry)]

    【Reply to me!Get back to me!Get back to me!(Crazy shaking.gif)]

    Seeing Xu Wen’s tone and expression that could almost be imagined, Lu Qing let the tight corners of his lips soften unconsciously.

    [Sorry, I’m not very good at using mobile phones.】

    At the same time as this message was sent, his actions of registering a new account and adding contacts were smooth and smooth, not unfamiliar at all.

    The moment the rustic nickname “Prairie Eagle” appeared in the search results, a faint smile flashed across his eyes, and then he calmed down, as if nothing happened.

    He pressed the add button, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he added a message slowly, with a hesitation in his tone that he was trying to hide:

    […Added.Is this you?】

    I’ll get back to you in seconds

    【(Handsome guy appears.gif)】

    【Yes yes yes~】

    —————

    The tablet in front of Nangong Chen was displaying the final report of the technical team: [Tracking failed.The target communication signal has completely disappeared and cannot be located.The last valid information exchange was not long enough, and the data packet was interfered with and truncated by some unknown program.】

    “Bang!”

    The tablet was slammed against the wall and fell apart instantly.

    In the office, the technicians and several subordinates were silent.

    “He found out.” Nangong Chen’s voice was low and hoarse, with the ultimate anger after being teased. He slowly turned his head and glanced at Su Xia, who was curled up on the sofa with a pale face. “You can’t even do such a small thing as delaying time.”

    Su Xia trembled, tears burst out, and she explained in vain: “No, Chen, I tried my best, he really…”

    Nangong Chen didn’t even hear her finish.He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the glittering city below, his chest rising and falling violently.

    Lu Qingrang not only escaped from his grasp again, but also used this method to nakedly mock his incompetence.

    This sense of loss of control made him furious, and also gave him a twisted interest and resentment towards the mysterious man Xu Wen who could bring Lu Qing back to life and cut off the past so decisively.

    He took a deep breath, and when he turned around again, his face had returned to a cold calmness.

    “Start Plan B.”

    He ordered the assistant behind him, every word carrying murderous intent.

    “Cast the net wider. The key point is to check everything about Xu Wen. Dig three feet into the ground and dig them out for me.”
