2289 There's No Need to Wait. Mr. Martin Is Not Coming



Feng Yu watched the car leave his sight before putting away his smile. Taking a deep breath, he then took out his cell phone from his coat with a serious expression, found a contact number, and called.

"Beep…"

The phone rang several times before someone picked up. "Hello?"

Feng Yu adjusted his mood before asking gently, "Hello, I'm Feng Yu from the First Research Institute. Is Mr. Martin free today?"

"Ah, Dean Feng, hello." The person who answered the call was Martin's personal assistant. He had met Feng Yu a few times and the two of them could be considered to know each other.

He did not make Feng Yu wait for long. After checking, he replied, "I'm sorry, Dean Feng. Sir has an appointment today."

Feng Yu's heart sank. However, he maintained his composure and asked, "Is it convenient for me to ask where Mr. Martin went?"

This question was actually a little rude.

However, with Feng Yu's status, the assistant did not think too much about it. "Sir was originally going to the Mountain Sea Pavilion to attend the appointment tonight, but an important guest asked him out at the last minute, and Sir rejected the invitation of the Mountain Sea Pavilion. As for where he is now, I'm not too sure."

Feng Yu had been keeping an eye on Ji Ziyin and Gu Hengbo for the past few days. This afternoon, he received a report from his spies that they were both in the Mountain Sea Pavilion. At that time, he had a bad guess…

In the end, Martin did not go to the Mountain Sea Pavilion?

Feng Yu was slightly distracted.

So, where did he go?

And who was the important guest?

Feng Yu's mind was filled with questions.

Since he did not speak for a long time, the assistant said politely, "Dean Feng, why are you looking for Sir? Do you need me to call Sir and tell him that you're looking for him?"

Feng Yu pulled himself out of his confusion and smiled. "No, I'm fine. I just thought that since Mr. Martin is in the independent continent, I wanted to ask him out to chat."

"Ah, I see."

Feng Yu said, "It's fine if he's busy. I'll call him another day."

The assistant did not ask further. He only said politely, "Alright. Dean Feng, is there anything else?"

"That's all. You can hang up."

Feng Yu waited for the other end to hang up before walking to the door of the Mountain Sea Pavilion and calling Shi Fu to tell him that Ji Ziyin had not met Martin today.

After finishing the call, he thought about it and sent a message to his subordinates asking them to investigate.

Martin had always been a man of his word and rarely stood people up.

Gu Hengbo must have made an appointment with him and brought Ji Ziyin to the Mountain Sea Pavilion, but Martin stood him up.

Feng Yu also wanted to know who the 'important guest' Martin's personal assistant talked about was.

* * *

Mountain Sea Pavilion, in the 'Mountain' private room.

Ji Ziyin was still anxiously waiting for Martin to arrive.

Halfway through, someone called Gu Hengbo.

The call lasted a full five minutes.

Only then did he return.

Ji Ziyin looked at the time and then looked up at him. She asked respectfully, "Teacher, did Mr. Martin get held up by something? Why isn't he here yet?"

She had waited for almost two hours. It was a little long. No wonder she was getting impatient.

Gu Hengbo had also been a little impatient. At this moment, his expression did not look good. He walked over and pulled out a chair before saying, "…We don't have to wait anymore. He's not coming."
