A Billion Dollar Exchange 331 You've wanted what was never yours

''Where is your phone? ''

He asked as he stood up from the bed;

''I think I left it inside my bag '' Liling thought for a moment before replying; she wondered what he was going to do with her phone;

Liu Wei walked to a couch in the room and opened her bag, he took out her phone, picking up his own from the table; he called someone.

'Liling watched him for a moment before standing up from the bed and walking to him;

He talked with the person for a moment before turning to Liling;

''You would have to call Yan Ran now? ''

''What? ''

Her eyes widened at his statement, why did she have to call her?

''Trust me, sunshine; just call her and keep her on the line for at least thirty seconds. ''

She nodded and took the phone from him, at that moment she had done the best she could do and she trusted his every move, without an iota of doubt; taking her phone from him, she called Yan Ran.

It rang for a few seconds before she answered;

''Well, well, well, you finally called; I've been waiting for your call for so long. ''

Liling breathed in; ''How long do you intend keeping my father hostage? ''

She asked with a sober voice;

Yan Ran laughed; ''Truthfully, I'm even tired, I would still release him but it will still take some time, I need to be sure that Liu Wei wants nothing to do with you anymore, or you can openly tell the media that you guys are no longer together, that would be a lot faster.''

Liu Wei heard all that she said since it was on loud speaker; from her words, it was clear that she didn't know that she was with him;

''Is that what you want? ''

Liling asked;

''What else do I want? I just need you out of his life forever!''

She screamed over the phone like some maniac; Liling was quiet; as though thinking about her offer;

''Fine, I'll arrange an interview tomorrow. ''

''Now you're talking! Call me when you've finished with the interview. ''

''Okay. ''

Liling replied and ended the call;

''Was that okay? ''

She asked and he nodded; he dialed the person's number again;

''Did you get the location?''…

''Okay, start moving, I'll be coming after you. ''

''What? Have you found them?''

Liling asked; her eyes bright; she was surprised that everything was solved with just one phone call and she had wasted her tears and caused him pain for nothing!

''Yes, they've been staying at Hills Inn all the while; the place is very deserted, I now know why they were able to hide from my men. I'll be going there now, stay here. ''

''No! I want to follow you. ''

She said immediately and Liu Wei shook his head; ''No, it's dangerous; I can't risk you getting hurt. ''

''Please, I want to go; I'll not come near, in fact I'll stay in the car, please!''

Liu Wei sighed; ''Sunshine, you haven't taken even your bath ''

''Uh? '' Liling remembered that she had not taken her bath;

''I'll bath as soon as I come back ''

''You've not even eaten; '' Liu Wei said, pointing at the food that was already growing cold on the stool.

She turned around to peek at the food;

''I'll eat when I return promise; I just want to watch how they'll be caught. ''

He thought for a moment;

''Okay, as long as you'll be in the car; ''

''Yeah, promise. ''

''Go and take your bath, I'll be waiting for you; ''

He said with a smile; tiptoeing, she kissed his cheeks and ran off to the bathroom;

As soon as she closed the bathroom door, Liu Wei took his car keys and left the house. The last thing he was going to do was endanger her life; he was not going to let that happen.

On the way; he called the leader of the gang;

''Where are you guys? ''

''We are almost there; ''

''Okay, when you arrive let me know; ''

Liu Wei said and ended the call; stepping on the accelerator, he increased his speed; He hadn't been to Hills Inn, so he followed the direction on his map.

In about ten minutes, the leader called him again; swiping, he answered the call;

''Boss, we've arrived but there are armed men; ''

''How many are there? ''

''We've seen four, but from the look of things they are not more than five. Should we proceed? ''

Liu Wei though for a moment;

''Proceed but do not hurt the old man, ''

''Yes Boss. '' He replied and Liu Wei ended the call.

…

When Liling came out of the bathroom, she didn't find Liu Wei and she knew that he had left; quickly she ordered an Uber and dressed up;

By the time she came out, her ride was already waiting for her;

''Hills Inn. '' She said as she entered the car;

''Hurry! ''

In about fifteen minutes they arrived; she told the driver to park afar off and she came down and walked to the inn. It was a deserted Inn; there were little bushes on the foot path; she drew closer and suddenly stopped when she heard noises;

It was Yan Ran's voice;

''If anyone moves I'll shot him… don't you dare…''

She heard Yan Ran scream; she tiptoed to a hidden fence and stuck her head into the compound. Yan Ran was holding her father hostage, a gun pointed to his head;

Da Xia was by her side; all of a sudden she shifted the gun a little and shot Da Xia on the head; nobody expected what happened; it was when her body fell limply to the floor blood gushing from her mouth and head that they realized that she had shot her.

''She's overstayed her welcome; I can't be protecting myself and protecting her, one person had to die.''

She said as though it was nothing; it was clear that she was prepared for the worst;

Fear gripped Liling; from what she saw, she knew that killing her father was going to be nothing to her; she had to think fast.

''You! I loved you! I worked for you for so many years but you couldn't see me! Why? Why didn't you see me?''

She screamed; her hand tightening around Liling father's neck, his face was turning pale.

''You have wanted what was never yours to begin with; it's time for you to let go. ''

''Shut up! Shut up or I blow his head up!''

She screamed;
