Mysterious man (2)

After Jiang Chen left, An ran sat on the sofa and there are multiple of clips of their memories that randomly popped up.. Jiang Chen was her best friend.. They both were friends for more than 15 years.. People do say that if you are friends for more 7years, then they are no longer friends but instead family.. Taken this principle, doesn't it mean Jiang Chen is her family?? Yes he was.. That one person who stood by her side even when everyone turned against her, that one person who protected her from the LU's clan power struggle, that one person who helped her marry Ram.. Today, she called him a murderer.. Why did it turn out to be like this?? Why didn't he help her when she begged him for help?? Had he been, by now, everyone might have been very happy. Tears started flowing from her eyes continuously.

Ziyi looked at Ran's sad expression. She could understand the turmoil in Ran's heart. She held her hands tightly and said, "Ran, forget about the past. You need to move ahead. I don't know what happened in the past but holding the past will always give you unbearable pain. Let it go.. Don't let the hatred blind your sensibility..I will call Ram and see where he is in.."

Ran smiled forcefully and nodded in agreement. As Ziyi called Ram, he didn't pick up the call and instead it was replied with a message, 'Ask Ran to take a train to Edinburgh. I got some sudden work and won't be able to accompany her. Tell her that I will meet her after two days in Aberdeen for the conference. Please take care of her '. Ziyi was surprised noticing this message.

She immediately rushed upstairs and opened her tab. She logged into ACE's specialised GPS tracking and looked at the direction in which Ram is moving.. The navigation pointed that he is heading towards Birmingham. Why is that he is going in the opposite direction which makes the journey quite long.. Is Ram safe?? Suddenly a thought ran across her brain and she immediately sent a high alert message to the level 9,8,7 employees immediately. Zaw and Maria are the first people to respond.

"Icey, I was just about to text you.. Just now I got an update from Matt that Ram was taken by a group of people. But, they are not the ones whom we thought.. Do you remember, a couple of times we encountered someone, whom we couldn't track. Matt said that these people are from that man itself.. ", Maria spoke nervously.

"What?? Why did he kidnap Ram?? ",Zaw shouted anxiously.

Ziyi was the only person who listened to the entire conversation patiently. She opened her another chat box which is encrypted by a BB84 protocol triad method. She typed, "Did you take away Ram?? "

"You got it quick.. Not bad", the other person replied.

Seeing silence from the other end, he replied, "protect the ones in your hand.. An Ran & her daughter . "

"why?? Why do you need to take Ram?? Is it for protecting?? ",Ziyi replied back.

"Who said that I will protect him... I took him because, I simply need him.. Don't worry, I won't kill the people who are dear to you" ,he replied with a winking smiley attached at the end.

"You better be!! ",she replied and just exited from the chatbox without waiting for further reply.

After logged out, Ziyi came to her earlier chat conversation. She typed, "Don't worry guys. Ram is safe. Sorry for the trouble. I will take care of Ran's matter"

Maria and Zaw responded in unison, "How do you know?? "

Ziyi replied, "That guy informed me. Since he assured, he isn't going to kill Ram, we don't need to bother anymore. You guys were fully tired out. So, just go and have some sleep"

Maria replied, "Okay.. I will see you guys after 6 hours. Going to my dreamland. Bye-bye.. Gnt"

Ziyi replied good night and even zaw mentioned the same. After Maria left, Zaw called to Ziyi's mobile directly. Ziyi knew that zaw would definitely call her. She picked up the call and said, "No matter what, I can't trace him. So, stop asking me, why don't you try again and again?? Also stop suspecting that there is a mole as well?? Nobody could access level 10 except me and he knew it way before I made the plan."

"Okay!! I don't bother to ask anymore as he never meant any harm before. But still, make sure that you are safe. I modified the file as per requirements. Just now, I sent the file to them", he replied

"Okay.. I will have a look at it later. I am so exhausted. Need to speak with Ran now!! Bye"
