Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Suddenly Realized
Since the old lady now realizes her mistake, she will certainly find a day to come and apologize in person.
By that time.
I hope Li Yanling can truly let go.
It was at this moment, after having a blast in the bar, that Old Luo noticed he had missed several phone calls.
He picked up his phone and finally reacted to what he had forgotten.
Then he immediately made a call.
"What’s going on? The task I assigned to you wasn’t completed at all, so what’s the result now?"
But the person on the other end sighed helplessly and then spoke.
"Oh, don’t mention it. We waited there for a very long time, and the old lady didn’t come out. As it got dark, we tried calling you but you didn’t answer, so we eventually had to leave."
Upon hearing this, the person was naturally incredulous and couldn’t immediately come back to reality from his own world.
How could this be? Everything was planned so well; how could any complications arise at this moment?
Could it be that the medication took effect earlier than expected?
Or had something happened to her inside?
Right then and there, such doubts couldn’t help but arise in his heart, but he couldn’t understand the specifics of what happened right away.
"What the hell happened? Did any of you see her come out?"
Upon hearing this, the person in front of him naturally shook his head right away.
"Because we didn’t see her come out, that’s why we left. Otherwise, why would I have left?"
Old Luo quickly hung up the phone, as he was unclear about what exactly had happened.
Everything was supposed to go according to plan, so how could such a mishap occur at this time?
He had even promised Huang Haoxiang that, no matter what, he would definitely take care of this matter. Now that an unexpected complication had arisen, it was incredibly distressing to him.
If Huang Haoxiang were to find out that the task wasn’t successful, what kind of situation would he face?
At this moment, he was indeed afraid, fearing that things could turn out to be very bad, and afraid that everything might develop in an unforeseen direction.
How could this not be considered a terrifying matter for him?
He stepped out of the bar and into the adjacent area, took in the cold breeze to sober up a bit, and gave serious thought as to what he should do next.
No matter what, he needed to calm down.
He had to think things through, regardless of the circumstances.
To avoid any real accidents happening.
After a while, he prepared to send someone to the old lady’s home to thoroughly check whether she had returned.
He was also afraid that there might have been some mishap with the medication, which resulted in her not being able to leave.
If it turned out that she had died inside, they could make a big issue out of the event.
But all of this was uncertain, so it was essential to confirm the situation thoroughly before figuring out how to resolve it.
And quickly, he made a call to his subordinates.
"Go and check thoroughly where that old lady is now."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately sprung into action, knowing exactly what to do.
When they arrived at the old lady’s house, they found that she seemed not to be home at all and there were no signs of her having returned.
This made them feel very strange and entirely unsure of what had happened.
Soon, they called Old Luo back.
"Boss, we’ve got to her house, but it looks like she’s not at home at all."
When Old Luo heard this, he felt even more bewildered.
If that were true, did it mean that the woman had come to harm?
But at this point, he couldn’t be sure.
After all, facing such a situation made him feel quite upset.
Right then, he hung up the phone and began to ponder seriously about what action to take and how to solve the issue.
This was of great importance to him, and he couldn’t dare take it lightly.
Quickly, he prepared to go there himself to see if the old lady really wasn’t home or if some other circumstances had arisen.
After all, this was a task entrusted to him by Huang Haoxiang, and if he didn’t handle it well, he might face some punishment.
Not only that, but should things go south, Huang Haoxiang might vent all his anger on him.
Facing such a situation would indeed be difficult to deal with, especially since Huang Haoxiang tended to have a big temper.
And soon he arrived at the old lady’s house.
However, when he got there, he found the place to be completely empty.
And it seemed there really were no signs of her having returned.
Could it really be as he had speculated, that the medication had taken effect prematurely and the old lady had died?
At that moment, with this thought in mind, he began to think seriously about whether he should send people to make a commotion as it might achieve the same effect.
But all these were merely his own ideas for now, and he wasn’t fully certain about the next steps to take just yet.
It was indeed a very complicated situation, and he might have trouble making a quick decision.
And just as he was pondering over the best course of action, his phone rang abruptly.
Startled, he picked up the phone and answered the call, discovering it was Huang Haoxiang’s voice on the other end.
"What’s happened? How is the matter progressing?"
After hearing this, he had to calm his somewhat panicked emotions before responding.
"We’ve already started the operation, and there should be a result soon."
At this point, he naturally didn’t dare to tell Huang Haoxiang the real situation, as that could implicate him as well.
So he had to put up a front for now.
Huang Haoxiang seemed very expectant and nodded right away, saying,
"Good, make sure to teach him a lesson. No matter what, we can’t let him off easily!"
"I want to see how he plans to deal with this situation!"
