Chen Xiaobei could feel his insides churning when he hung up.
This was definitely not a joke.
Xiang Yu did not come back for Duanwu festival because he was on a mission to capture the scientist, Professor Hou Sailei in America.
Hou Sailei had planted a mole with Professor Lin, who stole a classified military document from China, which had now become a massive threat to the country's security. He had to be brought to justice.
This ransom phone call confirmed that Xiang Yu's mission had failed and he had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Somehow, the enemy found out that Xiang Yu and Chen Xiaobei shared a special relationship, and because they had also believed that Chen Xiaobei was Professor Lin's son, they made this phone call!
"I have to go save Bro Yu!"
Chen Xiaobei immediately picked up the phone and called Professor Lin.
