Chapter 3730: Master Wang, Aren’t You Answering the Call?
Hua Ci opened her mouth, but Ye Lan said, “I’ll hang up first.”
There was a beep, and the figure on the projector disappeared into the light.
Ye Lan had already hung up.
Hua Ci bit her lip. Embarrassment surged in her heart. Then, she bent down, picked up her cell phone, and found the number on her contact list. She hesitated for a moment before calling.
Beep…
The call went through as soon as it was made.
Hua Ci’s heart raced.
Her blood flowed faster and focused on her heart. Every second was magnified infinitely, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
“Beep, beep…”
The phone rang a dozen times, but no one picked up.
From the initial excitement, Hua Ci became a little nervous and flustered. Did he not bring his cell phone with him?
Another two seconds passed.
No one picked up the call, and it was automatically hung up.
Hua Ci heard a robotic female voice. “I’m sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
Hua Ci hesitated for a moment before calling again.

In a white European-style villa.
The independent continent.
Mo Dong was reporting to Ye Wangchuan on the developments of the various large factions in the independent continent in the past few days, including the movements at the various docks.
“… The Ji family’s more powerful docks are much quieter. Those people are afraid of Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao is in the independent continent, and they don’t dare cause any trouble, obediently following Young Master Ji’s arrangements. Therefore, things in the Ji family have been relatively peaceful lately.
“… During your absence, things in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance have been rather chaotic. Simon’s sudden departure has caused chaos within. Several projects have been annexed by other forces, and their strength declined. They are also divided into two factions. One faction is following the arrangements Simon imparted before he left and is biding their time. The other faction is very close to the Xie family and seems to want to curry favor with Miss Qiao by building a relationship with them. The Xie family are acting dumb. They clearly don’t have any relationship with Miss Qiao, but they used the in-law relationship between the Xie family and the Ji family to reap benefits from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.”
Simon’s sudden departure left the Chamber of Commerce Alliance leaderless.
Some people knew the inside story and learned that the President had left the office that day after Qiao Nian came to their headquarters.
They were afraid she would take revenge on the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and they took a detour in the form of Old Madam Xie.
Old Madam Xie was used to using facades to deceive people. This time, she took a lot of the benefits from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
However, Xie Yun had long fallen out with her family, and Ji Nan did not buy his grandmother’s words… In fact, Old Madam Xie had taken a lot of benefits from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but she could not contact Qiao Nian at all.
Some people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance were already dissatisfied with her behavior and stirring up trouble.
“… If they get into a fight, I’m afraid Old Madam Xie won’t be able to keep her integrity anymore. It won’t be worth it.”
As Mo Dong spoke, he noticed that Master Wang’s phone kept vibrating, and he kept glancing at the coffee table.
Seeing that Ye Wangchuan had no intention of answering the call, Mo Dong couldn’t help but remind him, “Master Wang, aren’t you going to answer the call?”
Under his scrutiny, Ye Wangchuan bent down slightly, picked up the cell phone, smoothly rejected the call, and then proceeded to blacklist the number.
After putting his cell phone on the sofa, he stood up and asked Mo Dong, “What time is it?”
Mo Dong looked at the watch on the wall. “11:30.”
