Chapter 1012 - How Different (8）

Upon returning to his office, Cheng Chen immediately called Ruan Zeyan.

Although Ruan Zeyan answered the call more quickly this time, his tone when he answered had not improved.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Ling Tianya was back? Even her cousin, Yu Luoluo, didn’t know,” Cheng Shen asked Ruan Zeyan. He did not want to waste any time on unnecessary chatter.

From the very beginning, Ruan Zeyan hadn’t intended to reveal that Ling Tianya returned. After all, the Ling Tianya that returned was an imposter. Given how close Cheng Chen and Ling Tianya were, it wouldn’t take long for him to realize that the Ling Tianya who had returned wasn’t who she seemed to be.

No matter how concerned Ruan Zeyan was about the issue, he refused to acknowledge the fact that the Ling Tianya that returned was an imposter.

At this point in time what was most important was the safety of the real Ling Tianya, which Ruan Zeyan didn’t want to gamble with.

And as for Yu Luoluo, Ruan Zeyan wasn’t ready to drag her into this issue

However, based on what Cheng Chen had just said, it was likely that they had already met the fake Ling Tianya.

Before Ruan Zeyan had the opportunity to speak, Cheng Chen voiced his thoughts, “There’s something wrong with Tianya.”

The Tianya that Cheng Shen knew wouldn’t have spoken to him in such a disdainful tone. She also wouldn’t have treated Yu Luoluo like she did.

The most prominent characteristic of Ling Tianya was that kinship was of utmost importance to her. This was especially the case for her relationship with Yu Chenshi. Hence, upon knowing that Yu Chenshi had been hospitalized, she would have abandoned everything at hand to visit Yu Chenshi instead of causing a ruckus in the lobby and arguing with Yu Luoluo.

So, there was definitely something wrong with Ling Tianya.

Appearance-wise, there wasn’t anything amiss. It was indeed the Ling Tianya he knew of.

Cheng Chen concurred with Du Gang’s opinion: it wasn’t possible for two people in the world to look exactly the same.

But the way Ling Tianya had acted today was not normal and that was why Cheng Chen was feeling perplexed.

On the other end of the line, Ruan Zeyan still hadn’t spoken. “Ruan Zeyan, I’m talking to you.”

Silence prevailed. Ruan Zeyan’s chilly voice then sounded down the phone. “Just be concerned for yourself. Don’t meddle in the affairs of others.”

Upon hearing what Ruan Zeyan said, Cheng Chen instantly responded, “If you’re saying that, then there’s certainly something wrong with this Ling Tianya! She’s an imposter, isn’t she?”

Listening to how certain Cheng Chen seemed, Ruan Zeyan, faraway in City H, began to feel his hackles rise.

Other than himself, Cheng Chen was the first to realize that there was something amiss with this Ling Tianya. That made him displeased.

How close Cheng Chen was to the real Ling Tianya made him angry.

“Just be concerned about yourself,” Ruan Zeyan said before hanging up.

This wasn’t the first time that Ruan Zeyan had hung up on Cheng Chen. It was something he had already gotten used to. However, this time, not only did Ruan Zeyan not answer his queries, he even hung up on him! It was no longer something that he could stand.

Cheng Chen couldn’t believe that this man was being jealous at this point in time.

However, Cheng Chen was a smart guy. From Ruan Zeyan’s simple-worded answer, he could decipher the message Ruan Zeyan wanted to convey.

By telling him to just be concerned for himself, Ruan Zeyan was advising him to pretend that he still wasn’t aware of how things are and to not do anything rash.

If the Ling Tianya before them was an imposter, that would mean that the real Ling Tianya was still in the hands of those terrorists. So, this moment on would be a crucial period where her life was at stake.

In order to keep her safe, they had to make sure that the imposter wouldn’t realize that anything was amiss.

Cheng Shen dumped his phone on the table, his expression darkening.

As Mandy Wang entered the entrance of the mansion, she heard a familiar, yet strange sound. She walked into the living room and caught sight of Wang Manpeng sitting there. He was in disguise as Gu Zhiqian.
