1618 Chapter 1618: Trace Of Ashes
Long Hui did not give any response other than a sound that something fell. The call disconnected. The receptionist thought that Long Hui fell on his knee after seeing Yu Qi. She suspected that Long Hui must be rushed out and heading down to meet his beloved fiancee.
As the receptionist expected, Long Hui appeared in the lobby super fast.
“Let’s go.” Long Hui pulled Yu Qi and left the lobby.
The receptionist called her manager and immediately inform him about this. The manager was quite surprised when he heard about the news.
The manager asked the receptionist whether she knew where Yu Qi went for the past few days. The receptionist told him that she did not know much about that. Yu Qi already told her that she had an urgent business that needed her attention. That was why she left this place.
The manager did not think much about that. Since Yu Qi already returned safe and sound, he was relieved. He could not sleep thinking about Yu Qi’s missing. He was quite afraid of Long Hui.
The manager informed the security team that Yu Qi was safely returned. He also told them that Yu Qi had to leave for urgent business. She lost the phone and could not call others to inform them that she was leaving.
Everyone was happy knowing that she was safe. Except for one person. He was feeling weird. How could that happen? Yu Qi is supposed to be in their base right now.
He did not know what happened to their base. He thought everything was fine over there. He wanted to confirm Yu Qi’s matter. So, he called Aran.
“What is it, Leodo?” Aran answered the call.
It was that man’s name, Leodo.
“I heard something weird today,” Leodo said.
“Weird? What is it?” Aran asked.
“I just got heard that Tang Yu Qi return to the hotel. She was with Long Hui right now.” Leodo told Aran.
Aran who sat down, immediately stood up. “What did you say?”
‘Tang Yu Qi returns to her fiance.” Leodo repeated for the second time.
Aran did not hear Leodo replied to him. Aran was very shocked. How could Yu Qi be there? She should be at their base.
However, Aran remembered that he did not find their base after searching for such a long time. He was not stupid. He was sure that he was at the correct location.
Tang Yu Qi probably did something to their base. Otherwise, there was no way that she could escape the place uninjured.
“Aran?” Leodo tried to call Aran after he realized that Aran did not respond at all.
“Oh, yeah,” Aran responded. “There is something that I need to tell you.”
“What is it?” Leodo asked.
“When I go back to the base, I can not find the base,” Aran explained.
“What?” This time, it was Leodo who stood up in shock.
His colleagues looked at him in confusion.
“I am sorry. Please continue your work.” Leodo apologized to the people around.
Leodo stepped out of the room.
“Are you alone right now?” Aran añsked.
“Yes but right now I am outside. Hey, explain to me what is going on here.” Leodo said.
“I went back yesterday but I found nothing in the area that supposedly has our base.” Aran started to explain to Leodo. He then continued. “Since she appears here, meaning she escaped. She must have something with the disappearance of our base.”
“Can you contact them?” Leodo asked.
“I try but to no avail,” Aran said. “Well, I will go to the base first to see if everything is okay. You watch their movement.”
“Okay… I will keep watching them.” Leodo stated.
The call ended there. Aran who just sitting around waiting for feedback from the headquarters but they still got nothing.
Aran decided to go back to the base. He thought he would see the building. But to his shock, he saw a trace of ashes here.
If there was a fire at the building, the building would not disappear to ashes. He needed to report this to headquarters.
Yu Qi must be related to this matter. He really wondered how could Yu Qi have done making the entire building to ashes.
Matty and James were probably already dead seeing that they did not answer his call.
After leaving the place, he immediately sent the report telling about the incident.
“They probably know about now.” Yu Qi was humming a song.
“Hmm… that’s right.” Long Hui nodded.
“That is what happened if you dare to mess with me.” Yu Qi said. She also added, “It might be bad news to them but it was good news for the hostages.”
Long Hui looked at Yu Qi with worried eyes.
“It’s okay. I am already fine” Yu Qi smiled.
She knew that Long Hui was worried about her.
“Hmm… There is nothing left here. We should leave this place and return home.” Yu Qi said.

So, they started to prepare to leave. Long Hui seemed to make a call to someone.
After that, they left. The receptionist was surprised to see the couple here to check out.
“You are leaving today?” The receptionist asked. She knew that the couple was not from this place.
“Yeah. I have another urgent business that I need to settle.” Yu Qi gave an excuse.
“I see. Take care of yourself.” The receptionist said.
