They did not notice from the CCTV earlier because it was breaktime.
As for Ellie who was in her office, her phone did not ring but the alarm did. Sitting in the Qu Group's office, Old Lady Qu did not receive a call from her subordinates so she called them.
The call got through quickly, but the first thing she heard was angry shouting.
"Where are you?!"
She could not believe that her subordinates had actually failed to complete her task.
"Madam, our plan failed. Ji Ziming's subordinates were too formidable; we couldn't match them so we decided to retreat for now."
The noise became softer, but the honking of cars blared from the line.
"Ji Ziming's subordinates?"
Old Lady Qu had calculated everything, except for the fact that those people guarding Ellie's brother were the man's underlings.
