Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Heartbreak

A meal that left everyone breathless. Jing Ruo couldn’t swallow her food, while Bo Jingshen hardly touched his chopsticks from start to finish.

When he stood up to pay the bill, Jing Ruo almost wanted to argue with him to pay instead—not because she really wanted to pay, but because she desperately wanted to step outside for some air, so as not to continue sitting in this suffocating atmosphere.

However, Bo Jingshen held her back, "You sit here with them for a while, I’ll go pay the bill."

Jing Ruo could only agree with a strained smile.

Jing Ce wasn’t blind to Bo Jingshen’s avoidance, but he had no comments on it, letting Bo Jingshen unabashedly demonstrate his evasive attitude as he went to pay.

Not long after Bo Jingshen left, Jing Ce received a phone call. He glanced at the screen and answered.

"Mmm. Speak."

The voice on the other end was polite and respectful, "Mr. Jing, the person you asked us to follow has left the restaurant. Do you want us to continue the surveillance?"

Jing Ce hummed in response, his tone indifferent, "Keep going."

"Understood. We will report their subsequent movements to you. I won’t disturb you any further. Goodbye," said the person on the line.

Jing Ce hung up the phone.

The phone call was very brief; Jing Ce had only spoken four words, including that "hmm."
