Xu Rulan was shaken to her core once again.
She hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "Do you mean my husband has... met with foul play?"
"Whether he's met with foul play is something you should know perfectly well, Chairwoman Xu! Let's cut the chatter. I'll call again in two days. I'm sure you'll have thought things through by then and can give me a clear answer."
An unpleasant laugh came from the other end of the phone. "No hard feelings if we can't make a deal. If you don't want to do business, Chairwoman Xu, I won't force you. I'll just find someone else who's interested!"
With that, the caller promptly hung up.
Xu Qinglan held the phone, a dark cloud settling over her delicate, beautiful face.
Had someone stumbled upon Zong Yunxiao's "hiding place"?
No, the chances of that were practically zero!
The two men responsible for hiding him had long since been arrested by the Jincheng Municipal Public Security Bureau on suspicion of intentional injury. Both had died in prison after clashing with other inmates.
Now, no more than three people knew the secret, herself included!
So what was going on?
Had someone heard a rumor and decided to swindle her out of her money?
She stared at her phone, considering whether to send someone to check the hiding place. After a moment's thought, however, she abandoned the idea.
Too convenient! The timing of this anonymous call was far too convenient!
If Zhou Yi hadn't arrived, and Zhang Hao hadn't been brought down, she might not have needed to be so cautious. But now, she had no choice but to stay on guard.
Zhou Yi!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed such a monster existed!
