Chapter 1379: You are married

At 12:30 noon, Ye Chen drove slowly into Jin Ling Finance and Economics University. At this time, the school had already reached the lunch break. There were many students walking in pairs on the campus roads, mostly heading toward the cafeteria and dormitories, and some looked like they were preparing to dine off-campus.

He Zhiqiu asked Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, will my father have gone to eat? Should I contact him?"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "In a while, I'll send him a voice call. You must not make a sound."

He Zhiqiu knew that Ye Chen just wanted to give her father a surprise, so she agreed, "Okay..."

Ye Chen parked the car under the administrative office building and then used WeChat to call He Yuanjiang.

As soon as the voice call request was sent, the other party answered immediately. Immediately after, He Yuanjiang's voice came through, "Ye Chen, how are things over there?! Is there any progress?"

Ye Chen said, "Uncle He, don't be anxious. The situation here is a bit complicated; it's not something that can be explained in one or two sentences."

He Yuanjiang hurriedly asked, "Then have you seen Zhiqiu?"

Ye Chen replied, "Not yet. The opposition's guards are very strict, and I'm still thinking of ways."

As he spoke, Ye Chen asked him, "Uncle He, have you had lunch?"

He Yuanjiang sighed, "How could I have the mood to eat? I've been restless from last night until now. I called you several times earlier, and it showed they were all out of service area. You shouldn't have a signal over there, right?"

Ye Chen explained, "There is definitely no communication signal, so there's no way to make or receive calls normally. However, I have a satellite internet device here, which can connect to the internet via satellite. It's just that the data fee is a bit expensive."

He Yuanjiang didn't notice anything unusual, but couldn't help but sigh, "This matter is really troubling you too much... No matter if there is a chance to see Zhiqiu or a chance to save her next, you must ensure your own personal safety."

Ye Chen smiled, "Uncle He, don't worry. I will bring your daughter back to the country safe and sound."

As he spoke, he hurriedly said, "Uncle He, I'll hang up first. I'll tell you when there's progress."

He Yuanjiang had no choice but to say, "Then you must pay attention to safety!"

Ye Chen ended the voice call. He Zhiqiu beside him couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we do next?"

Ye Chen turned off the car engine, took out two disposable masks, put one on himself, and said to He Zhiqiu, "Put on the mask. We'll go directly to your father's office. He must be there."

He Zhiqiu knew that Ye Chen wanted to give her father a surprise, and said with a smile, "Do you think if I put on a mask, my dad won't recognize me?"

Ye Chen smiled, "I bet that as long as you don't speak, your dad definitely won't recognize you."

"Impossible." He Zhiqiu shook her head and said firmly, "I just don't talk much with my dad, but that doesn't mean our relationship is very tense or distant. He will definitely recognize me at a glance."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "If you don't believe it, try it. In a while, you go knock on the door directly and see if he can recognize you."

He Zhiqiu pouted, "Okay, the loser has to treat the other to a meal!"

After saying this, she immediately cooperated and put on the mask.

After the two got out of the car, they walked directly into the office building. He Zhiqiu followed Ye Chen, somewhat nervously whispering, "Do you know where my dad's office is? I've never been here once."

Ye Chen nodded, "I know. Just follow me boldly."

At this time, He Yuanjiang was pacing back and forth in his office.

His only daughter was far away in Syria, her life or death unknown. Naturally, he was extremely worried, and Ye Chen hadn't replied with any clear progress, so he didn't know if his daughter could escape this disaster.

Precisely because he was worried, He Yuanjiang had been distracted and made mistakes several times while teaching today. He felt that his spirit had been stretched to the limit. If there was still no news of his daughter today, he could only temporarily ask for leave from the school and then go to Syria himself.

He also knew that he didn't have the ability to save his daughter, and might not even have the ability to reach the place where his daughter was being held, but he still hoped that he could be closer to his daughter in space, which would allow him to find some comfort in his heart.

Just when he was restless, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

His chaotic thoughts were forcibly interrupted, so he could only walk to the door and reach out to open it.

As soon as the door opened, he saw a young, fashionable woman standing outside. However, the woman was wearing a mask, and he didn't see her appearance, so he asked in surprise, "Hello, may I ask what you need?"

He Yuanjiang did not recognize the daughter standing in front of him.

This wasn't to say that he and his daughter were distant, but in his memory, his daughter He Zhiqiu had never worn such fashionable and feminine clothes.

Usually, He Zhiqiu, although not a tomboy, dressed simply and plainly, and rarely wore skirts. Because she graduated from Stanford University, her dressing style was almost identical to those programmers in Silicon Valley. In summer, it was T-shirts paired with jeans, and in winter, it was hoodies and down jackets paired with jeans.

And this girl in front of him looked like someone who was very particular and cared very much about her attire, a world apart from He Zhiqiu's style.

Moreover, he didn't think of his daughter at all. After all, in his subconscious, his daughter was thousands of kilometers away in Syria, and it was absolutely impossible for her to suddenly appear in front of him.

He Zhiqiu also didn't expect that her father really didn't recognize her.

She stared with wide eyes and looked He Yuanjiang up and down, her eyes filled with surprise and also carrying a bit of a hint.

However, He Yuanjiang didn't have the mood to carefully ponder the meaning in her eyes.

Seeing that this girl in front of him just stared at him without speaking, He Yuanjiang didn't have the patience to continue wasting time here and said directly, "If there's nothing, please go back."

After saying this, he closed the door directly.

He Zhiqiu outside the door was completely stunned.

She never dreamed that just by wearing a mask, her dad wouldn't recognize her.

Not only did he not recognize her, but he also closed the door.

Ye Chen, who was leaning against the wall on one side, looked at her with a smile at this time and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Are you convinced?"

He Zhiqiu said angrily, "At worst, I'll treat you to a meal tonight!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, "Tonight won't work. I have to go home tonight; my wife is waiting for me at home."

He Zhiqiu asked in surprise, "You... you are married?"

Ye Chen nodded, "Married for four years."

He Zhiqiu suddenly felt a bit empty in her heart, but she adjusted quickly and said, "Okay, then we'll talk about the meal another day. Anyway, I'll stay in Jin Ling to work for you from now on, and I can fulfill the bet at any time."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll keep a record of this meal."

After saying this, he pointed to the door of He Yuanjiang's office and smiled, "Do you want to give your dad another chance?"

He Zhiqiu somewhat angrily raised her hand and knocked on the door again.

Knock, knock, knock.

He Yuanjiang inside was obviously a bit irritable. He opened the door with a bit of anger. Seeing it was still that girl, he asked, "What exactly do you need?"

He Zhiqiu stomped her foot in anger, took off her mask directly, and blurted out, "He Yuanjiang! You can't even recognize your own daughter?!" ===== CHAPTER 1380 =====
