The relatively pretty face of An Xiaobei was now unconsciously showing a fearful expression, the threats from those people had accumulated countless fears in her heart over time.
"What are you afraid of Quickly give me your phone number; I will have someone trace the person calling you right away." Summer gave An Xiaobei an unsatisfied glance. Not only was this woman not pretty, but she also had such a small heart!
As he spoke, Summer dialed Fairy's number: "Wife, help me check on a phone."
"Husband husband, where are you You must come back soon! Sama asks me every day where you are!" Fairy asked somewhat unhappily.
“Oh, tell her that in a few days she should be able to come out and doesn't need to hide at your place all the time." Summer casually said this, then returned to the main topic: "Quickly help me check on the phone first. I'll give you a number; someone is calling it right now. See if you can find that person."
"Okay, husband!" Although Fairy didn't seem very willing, she still agreed immediately.
At this moment, An Xiaobei finally reacted and quickly gave out her phone number.
"Alright, now you pick up the call," Xia Tian said to An Xiaobei after hanging up.
The phone had been ringing for several rings. Knowing she couldn't waste any more time, An Xiaobei quickly picked it up and said, "Hello, this is An Xiaobei."
"Why did you take so long to answer the call" a man's voice came from the other end of the line. His tone was low but clearly annoyed.
“Just now there were people around me and it wasn't convenient to talk,” An Xiaobei hastily explained.
"Have you gotten hold of the item yet" The man immediately got straight to the point on the other end of the line.
"N-no, not yet," An Xiaobei answered anxiously.
"Not yet You've been in the capital for months and there's still no progress! I warn you, don't try to evade me. Otherwise, you know what will happen!" The man became furious immediately.
“No sir, I’m actively looking for opportunities. Truly, though I live at Shi’s house, Pengfei’s parents and brother are usually in the lab, so I haven’t had a chance to go inside,” An Xiaobei hurriedly explained, her tone showing some panic.
"Don't give me excuses, I want results. I'm giving you three days. No matter what methods you use, if the item isn’t in my hands within three days, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!" The man on the other end of the line said coldly before hanging up.
This… What should we do Pengfei, what should we do now They only gave me three days. I can't really give them what they want, but if I don’t, I truly have no idea what they’re capable of doing…" An Xiao Bei was momentarily at a loss and looked very flustered.
"Shut up!" Xia Tian glared at An Xiao Bei. "If you keep panicking like this, I won't bother with your stupid problems anymore."
An Xiao Bei froze for a moment before actually closing her mouth.
"Husband, the phone is ringing…" Xia Tian's phone rang just then.
It was Fairy calling. Xia Tian immediately answered and asked casually, "Did you find out where the call came from"
"I found it out! The call came from Singapore," Fairy replied quickly, sounding eager to boast as she continued, "Husband husband, I’ll tell you something. Not only did I find out where the phone call was made from, but I also found out who made the call!"
Before Xia Tian could respond, Fairy started bragging again: "Hehe, let me tell you, Husband, I’m really amazing! I recorded the voice of the caller and discovered that they used a voice changer to alter their voice. But in a little while, I will be able to restore the original sound. I can definitely find out who this person is."
"Fairy wife, wait until you find that person before boasting about your abilities," Xia Tian casually remarked.
"Fine, I'll go look for him right away!" The Fairy's enthusiasm was dampened by Xia Tian’s words, and she grumbled a bit unhappily before hanging up the call.
After putting down the phone, Xia Tian glanced at An Xuebei: "That guy who threatened you is also in Singapore. But I have no interest in going to Singapore myself, so even if I know who he is, I won’t go and deal with him. You should think of a way to lure him to Beijing."
"B-but, Mr. Xia, there’s no chance that he will come to Beijing. He never lets me know his identity; how could he possibly show up in Beijing" An Xuebei spoke cautiously, seeming somewhat afraid of Xia Tian now.
Xia Tian looked at An Xuebei with a displeased expression: "Why are you this dense Can’t you think of any way to do it"
"I... I..." An Xuebei was momentarily speechless, unsure what to say. She didn't think she was stupid, but she also dared not argue back; although Xia Tian didn't appear very scary, he seemed like a dangerous person who had no patience.
"Never mind, since you don’t have any good ideas, I’ll give you an idea then," Xia Tian thought that the person threatening An Xuebei might be associated with the group behind Yi Zhiyan. Hence, despite not wanting to get involved, he decided to spend some effort on solving this issue.
After a brief pause, Xia Tian laid out his plan: "That guy gave you three days, right During these three days, give him a set of documents and make it so that only he can come to Beijing personally to collect them."
"But they will definitely let me send the materials directly through email," An Xiaobei whispered in response.
"Xiaobei, this is actually feasible. Just say that it's a handwritten draft and it’s not very clear. We can create a draft that looks like the real thing with your phone camera and make it intentionally blurry, or we could say there are too many materials to fit into an email attachment and they're all on a USB drive, or you could say you’re at my place where internet access is inconvenient or being monitored by someone. We should think this through carefully; we should be able to find an excuse that would make them agree to receive the materials in person," Shi Pengfei suggested softly from beside her.
"You see, your man is much smarter than you. Anyway, come up with a reason to get that guy to come and pick up the documents himself, and then I’ll grab him." Xia Tian complimented Shi Pengfei for his ideas; he thought they were quite good.
"Alright then, Mr. Xia, we will first discuss this and see how we can make them believe us," An Xiaobei agreed; she had no other ideas either.
"Okay, take your time to figure it out. Once the fool in Singapore bites, give me a call." Xia Tian spoke lazily.
"Alright, Dr. Xia, we won’t bother you further then," Shi Pengfei noticed that Xia Tian had no interest in him or An Xiaobei at all, and he was relieved about this as he wouldn't want the man who became everyone's enemy to show any interest in his fiancée.
Shi Pengfei left Baiyulou with An Xiaobei quickly. Since Summer didn’t feel like going out, he stayed at Baiyulou to drink tea and finished off some of White Xiaolei’s superior Dahongpao. Checking the time, it was nearing eleven o'clock, so he thought about having lunch there.
Summer was just about to call a waiter from Baiyulou to prepare lunch when White Xiaolei called him on the phone.
"Big Brother, Chang Donglin is in trouble!" The moment the call connected, Bai Xiaole's somewhat urgent voice came through.
The incident involving Chang Donglin was almost completely unexpected. Neither Chief Luo Minsheng of the municipal bureau nor Bai Xiaole and Xia Tian had anticipated it. Although Chang Donglin was detained at the municipal bureau before the incident and there were several other figures from the criminal underworld also incarcerated there, given Chang Donglin's standing, everyone felt secure in his safety, believing no one would harm him.
Following the principle of "better safe than sorry," Luo Minsheng had actually taken special precautions regarding Chang Donglin’s security. He kept Chang Donglin locked up alone and personally ensured that a trusted associate watched over him. Although Luo Minsheng was compelled to mobilize police forces to apprehend members of the Chang family this time, he was acutely aware that any mishap involving Chang Donglin could lead to even more severe consequences.
However, what seemed like an infallible arrangement ultimately faltered. Just half an hour ago, when Chang Donglin said he needed to use the restroom, on his way there, someone stabbed him twice. Although the assailant was shot dead by the police immediately after, Chang Donglin's life was in grave danger, and he was currently undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital.
When Xia Tian and Chu Yao arrived at the hospital, Chang Donglin was still being treated. Outside of the emergency room, a group of people anxiously awaited news, including Chang Xiaobao, his two wives—Chang Xiaolan and Chang Xiaoping—and Chang Rong. Bai Xiaole had also arrived by now, along with two policemen who were keeping watch.
"Big Brother." Seeing Xia Tian, Bai Xiaole hurriedly approached him and gave a quiet greeting.
"Brother Tian, you're here!" Chang Xiaobao rushed over too, immediately saying impatiently: "Brother Tian, I don't trust those doctors. Why don't you go in now to treat my grandfather"
The others were also looking at Xia Tian with clear expectations for him to step in and help save Chang Donglin. Even the two policemen hoped he would do so. After all, if something happened to Chang Donglin, their lives as police officers wouldn't be easy either; usually these criminals didn’t cause too much trouble, making efforts to avoid police when they saw them, not daring to openly provoke law enforcement. But should Chang Donglin die, those people might seek retribution, and that would be unpredictable.rough the air, about to land all over her.Summer casually waved her hand, and suddenly an invisible force appeared in the air.
