Chapter 1960: Chapter 1964: The Good Sister-in-Law of His Family
Leng Zirui stood up quickly, took large strides out of the bathroom, crossed the living room, and went outside, raising his phone once more.
The screen showed no signal.
"Do you want to make a call?" A bodyguard, seeing his expression, came over to inquire.
Leng Zirui nodded, "Why is there no signal on my phone?"
"There’s no signal here. If you want to make a call, you can use the satellite phone in the room," the bodyguard explained politely. "Shall I take you there?!"
"Mr. ROY!" A maid jogged over, "Lunch is ready, Mr. Luo Ke invites you over."
Glancing at his still signal-less phone, Leng Zirui suppressed his inner irritation and returned to the dining room.
In the dining room, lunch was already served. Luo Xiaoqian, seeing him return, flashed him a polite smile.
Seeing her radiant smile, Leng Zirui felt nothing but helplessness.
There’s no signal on the phone, and he didn’t dare use the satellite phone in the room. How was he supposed to contact Leng Zimo?!
Sitting down, Leng Zirui frowned and glanced at his watch.
"What’s wrong?!" Luo Xiaoqian noticed the expression on his face and asked with concern.
"I had promised to call my girlfriend at twelve, but there’s no signal here," Leng Zirui said with a troubled expression. "If I can’t reach her, she’ll definitely be angry."
Luo Xiaoqian, innocent and naive by nature, took him at his word and immediately turned to Luo Ke, "Don’t we have a phone here?"
"Don’t worry, madam, there’s no need to be concerned about his so-called girlfriend," Roselia bluntly disrupted Leng Zirui’s act.
Luo Ke, however, smiled at Luo Xiaoqian, "Bring the phone to Mr. ROY."
The maid agreed, and shortly brought the phone from the hall to Leng Zirui, delivering it to him politely.
"No need, let’s finish lunch first," Leng Zirui said with a smile.
He didn’t actually have a girlfriend to call; it was just an excuse he made up. To call Leng Zimo in front of Luo Ke would be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?!
"It’s okay, you can call her and explain," Luo Xiaoqian said with a gentle smile, "I understand, you must feel embarrassed, right? You can make the call outside."
"Sissi, you’re so considerate." Leng Zirui seized the moment and took the phone, "Then I’ll excuse myself for a moment!"
"Take your time," Luo Xiaoqian replied with a smile.
Truly a good sister-in-law of his family, even if she didn’t remember him, she was still helping him!
Holding the satellite phone, Leng Zirui was anxious yet didn’t dare show his urgency. He lazily ambled toward the villa’s exit.
...
...
A hundred kilometers from the island’s shore, a medium-sized yacht was leisurely cruising the ocean.
On the deck, Leng Zimo frowned and glanced at his watch. It was almost twelve o’clock; why hadn’t Zirui sent a message yet?
"How’s the phone signal?!" he turned and asked Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu looked at the specially prepared satellite phone in his hand, "The signal is excellent."
Leng Zimo opened the face of his watch, glanced at the tracker inside, and saw the tiny red dot still blinking.
Glancing at the time again, he turned and walked into the cabin, removing his suit jacket as he went. "Ah Sang, bring me the diving suit!"
Ah Sang promptly fetched the prepared diving suit and handed it to him, quickly changing clothes himself.
