Guo Miao looked out of the window.
She didn’t know when the snipers had disappeared, but her eyes darkened. Ryan was really a little bit of a pushover.
“There’s no need for dinner. I still have to go down the mountain early,” Guo Miao said.
“Not good, Miss Guo Miao. The road on the mountain is slippery now. You might not be able to go down the mountain today.” Justin suddenly shouted, “The road is slippery. The only car we have left here is a car that can’t go on the mountain road. It will be dangerous for you to leave now.”
Guo Miao was a little speechless. What was going on? Did the Orsolas like to keep guests here by force?
Guo Miao glanced at Ryan.
Ryan just shrugged. “It’s useless for you to be anxious now. Why don’t you come with me to taste the cooking of these chefs in the sanatorium? Moreover, there are many rooms in the sanatorium. Why don’t you stay here tonight?”
Guo Miao looked at the pouring rain outside the window and finally nodded slowly.
This sanatorium was located on a mountain peak, with its back facing the vast forest. If anything happened, she could escape from here at any time and hide in the forest.
After getting Guo Miao’s approval, Ryan put on a polite smile again. “Then, don’t be shy. I’ll get them to prepare dinner and your room now. You can wait here.”
Ryan opened the door and walked out.
Guo Miao slowly sat down and looked at Jack, who was lying on the bed, and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Ryan’s phone rang outside the door. He picked up the phone and heard a cold male voice on the other end.
“Mr. Ryan, what are you doing now?” The person on the other end of the phone sounded angry.
“Miss Guo Miao is our guest. It’s okay if I let her stay for a night. Mr. Tong Pei, ever since I came to Haicheng, you’ve been sending people to follow and monitor me. Do you think that you’ve crossed the line, or that I’ve done something inappropriate?” Ryan said with a smile.
“This is China. No matter if it’s in Haicheng or Beijing, our Tong family has a lot of power,” said Tong Pei. “How do you know that our power isn’t coincidentally there but is monitoring you? Aren’t you confessing without being forced?”
“Young Master Tong, as far as I know, the Zhong family has always been the main force in Sea City. I’m afraid that you’re not doing this for your own power but for Miss Guo Miao.”
The air was still for a second, leaving only the sound of rain outside the window.
“Mr. Ryan, you’re very smart, so I hope you understand the consequences of offending the Tong family.” The person on the other end hung up after saying this.
Ryan showed Justin his phone screen.
Justin was a little worried. “Isn’t it really inappropriate for us to force Miss Guo Miao to stay? After all, the Stuttgarts are so rampant now. If we offend the Tongs, it will only put the Orsolas in greater danger.”
Ryan shook his head and stared at the door.
“This isn’t considered offensive. The cooperation between the two families has always been very deep. I’m not worried that Tong Pei will do anything to us. I’m just a little interested in this little girl.” Ryan laughed.
When he smiled, his eyes were still very calm, and there was a sly glint that was hard to detect.
His interest in Guo Miao wasn’t between a man and a woman.
He was just a little curious. How could such a young girl have such a strong ability to detect those snipers and even shake Tong Pei, this thousand-year-old fox?
“Help me prepare dinner,” Ryan said.
Justin nodded and walked toward the kitchen.
Dinner was held in a bar in the sanatorium.
Ryan didn’t choose Western food. Instead, he chose the specialty of China: hotpot.
Guo Miao was speechless as she looked at the boiling pot on the dining table and the curious Ryan.
“Miss Guo Miao, this is the feast I specially asked them to prepare for you. What do you think?” Ryan said.
Guo Miao was speechless as she looked at the pot with clear water on one side and a few mushrooms floating on the other.
Ryan had invited her over for a vegetarian meal, right?
“Our Chinese hotpot is generally divided into two sides: one side is not spicy while the other side is spicy. There’s no such thing as a clear water soup base. Mr. Ryan, are you trying to brush me off, or do you want to say something to me?” Guo Miao asked.
Ryan smiled. “I don’t understand Chinese cuisine, and the people I brought here don’t know much either. If there’s any mistake, 1 hope you can forgive me..”
