Check my phone?
Lü Mao panicked completely. If something came up on his phone, he'd be done for. He knew too well how ruthless Dao Ge could be!
"Damn it, why the hell should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?" Lü Mao's uninjured hand subconsciously slipped into his pocket. Although his eyes still flashed with anger, there was a hint of panic behind the fierceness!
"Give me the phone!" Dao Ge, who actually had some brains, snatched the phone from Lü Mao's hand and began to scroll through the contacts!
"You'll never find anything that way. If you think he seduced your wife, would her name still be in his phone? Here, let me help you!"
Bai Xiaofan, seeing Dao Ge searching helplessly, couldn't help but feel speechless. Just when he thought Dao Ge was clever, he proved himself to be a fool!
After taking the phone, Bai Xiaofan flipped through it for a moment. Suddenly, a contact named 'Mobile Customer Service' caught his eye!
Upon opening the contact information, sure enough, the phone number was a long string of numbers, not the simple 10086!
"Here, you call it, but wait for them to speak first!" Bai Xiaofan handed the phone back to Dao Ge and said confidently.
Seeing the name on the phone, Lü Mao felt utterly hopeless. Any chance of luck he might have felt evaporated in an instant, and he collapsed on the ground, looking ashen!
"Hello, honey..."
As soon as the call connected, a seductive female voice was heard from the other end!
Hearing the woman's voice, Dao Ge's face turned from green to red in an instant!
Wasn't that the voice of his wife who had run away with someone else? That endearment used to be for him, and even now she was calling him that, but damn it, this phone wasn't his!
Everything was clear now!
"Fuck your mother selling pussy!" Dao Ge cursed bitterly, then hung up the phone. Grabbing Lü Mao by the hair, he stormed off!
Watching Dao Ge and his cronies leave, Bai Xiaofan heaved a sigh of relief. Damn, what a catastrophe out of nowhere!
"You should just go home. Don't follow me, I'm going home!" Bai Xiaofan turned to head home, only to feel his sick suit being grasped by the woman behind him.
"Wuu... Can I... Can I go to your place first?" Murong Yue blinked her beautiful big eyes, which shimmered as she looked at Bai Xiaofan, her eyes appearing almost pleading.
"Go to my place? No way, it's not convenient at home today!" Bai Xiaofan was startled for a moment before he firmly refused.
Watching Bai Xiaofan stride away, Murong Yue stomped her feet in frustration. That jerk, that shameless scumbag, that unromantic fool—to think he wouldn't cherish a great beauty like herself!
Hmph, if you won't let me go, I'll just sneakily follow you. Anyway, if I go home now, I'll definitely be forced into marriage!
Unaware that someone was following him, Bai Xiaofan took out a key from above the door as he arrived at his place and walked in after unlocking the door!
Xin'er, that girl, hadn't come back yet, though she should be back soon. As Bai Xiaofan thought about how to keep Xin'er from being upset, he settled down in his room to practice cultivation!
Zhao Tian, who had gone to the hospital with Zhou Ya, had definitely spoken the truth earlier—this whole property belonged to his family. Since he knew where he lived, he would surely send someone to drive away both him and Xin'er!
To avoid eviction, he needed to become stronger as soon as possible, at the very least to protect Xin'er from harm!
Bai Xiaofan gradually sank into mediation, started to practice the cultivation technique as described in the Immortal Refinement Scripture!
As time passed, a warm current began to flow within his body!
...
"Whimper..."
Bai Xiaofan was cultivating when suddenly a sobbing sound came through, prompting him to open his eyes!
Before him sat a stunning beauty with long hair like a waterfall, sparkling eyes, white teeth, skin like creamy jade, and exceptionally delicate features, quietly crying at the foot of his bed.
"Xin'er..."
This beautiful girl was none other than Chen Xiner, the biological daughter of Bai Xiaofan's adoptive parents!
"Xiaofan brother, are mom and dad really dead?" Hearing her name called, Chen Xiner looked up with tear-filled eyes, pitifully gazing at the brother she had grown up with.
"Yes..." Bai Xiaofan didn't know how Chen Xiner found out, but he could only nod gently.
"Whimper, Xiaofan brother..." Seeing Bai Xiaofan nod, Chen Xiner could no longer contain her sorrow, and overwhelmed by her emotions like a flood, she threw herself into Bai Xiaofan's arms and burst into loud sobs!
Bai Xiaofan didn't know what to do either, so he gently patted Chen Xiner's back, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start, for his own sadness was no less than Chen Xiner's!
Not knowing how long she had cried, Bai Xiaofan sensed that Chen Xiner's emotions had finally stabilized a bit, and he asked softly, "Xin'er, how did you find out about the accident with uncle and auntie?"
"It was… it was uncle Zhang, dad's colleague, who called to inform me. He said there was a car accident on Hualan Street and that not even the bodies were found. He said you were also hospitalized and when I went to the hospital to find you, a nurse told me you'd run out of the hospital in delirium!
I knew you must be worried about me and had run back home on your own, so I hurried back too!"
Chen Xiner said in a low voice as she continued to sob.
Zhang Qiang?
Bai Xiaofan silently repeated this name in his mind. He was a guy who had been in business with his adoptive father. Logically, not many people should know about the tragic death of his parents, and it was definitely not an accident. If the caller claimed it was a car accident, then this matter…
Bai Xiaofan clearly remembered a van that had forced their car to stop and seven or eight men wielding knives coming out and slaughtering all three of them.
No one would have thought that he was not dead!
I, Bai Xiaofan, will one day reveal the truth about this matter to the world!
Bai Xiaofan was not foolish enough to consider reporting to the police; Wang Tianhao's influence was simply too formidable. Until he had enough personal strength, recklessly going to the police would only bring death upon him and Xin'er!
"Xiaofan brother, are you okay?" It was only now that Chen Xiner came back to her senses and noticed that Bai Xiaofan was still in a hospital gown, asking with concern.
"I'm fine; in the critical moment, uncle and auntie protected me with their bodies!" Bai Xiaofan shook his head slightly and gently wiped the tears from Chen Xiner's face with his large hand.
"Xin'er, will you let Xiaofan brother take care of you from now on?"
"Yes, Xin'er now has only Xiaofan brother as family!"
...
"Cough cough, err… hello there!"
Just then, a discordant voice interrupted them as Bai Xiaofan and Chen Xiner quickly turned their heads to look over. They saw a small head poking in through the door—it was Murong Yue, whom Bai Xiaofan had once saved!
