Free Web NovelChapter 1177: Chapter 1180: A Phone Call (Part 1)
"Bang!"
Dou Hu, a burly man, flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Lin Xi’s gaze was filled with murderous intent, or rather, he had already made up his mind to kill.
Zhou Yan stood silently by the side, coldly watching Dou Hu as well.
However, Xi Xiaoyi’s face was very pale; where exactly had the baby been taken?
As for the other matters, she was not concerned.
The giant bear roared and glared menacingly at Dou Hu.
To it, as long as its master gave the word, it would kill this man in any way demanded!
On the ground, Dou Hu’s waist was nearly broken, and his injuries were quite severe.
However, he still had the strength to stand up and run. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
But right now, he had no intention of escaping at all.
The person and bear in front of him were absolutely unbeatable for him, so much so that a mere finger from them could crush him.
Even the female officer seemed dangerous to him.
Just who were these people?
In Chuzhou City, how could there be such strong individuals?
He was supposed to have the strength of a mid-level King of Soldiers.
A few years ago, he returned from a chaotic region and started a security company.
In those tumultuous regions, his strength was considered top-notch.
He thought for sure that in Chuzhou City, he would be among the top, that even the four great families wouldn’t dare to offend him too much.
But unexpectedly, recent events had instilled fear in him, forcing him to behave.
Yet he still couldn’t avoid it; he had somehow provoked this young man in front of him.
This young man seemed even stronger than that group of people operating in Chuzhou City.
Simply unimaginably strong.
"Don’t kill me!" he shouted, disregarding his injuries, "I absolutely didn’t deceive you!"
"The You family always delivers the child here every time."
"Besides, this is one of their strongholds."
"Now it’s become like this, I really don’t know why!"
Lin Xi sneered, "Bring him over!"
"If he resists, kill him directly!"
Upon hearing these words, Dou Hu was reassured; it seemed like they weren’t intent on killing him just yet.
Otherwise, that earlier slap would have already finished him.
Nonetheless, he was startled.
Because without realizing it, the giant bear was already beside him, lifting him in its paw.
Fast!
Too fast!
Luckily, he was wise enough not to attempt an escape.
If he had, he would have been slapped to death by this bear in an instant.
After all, their speeds weren’t even comparable.
"You have three seconds to come up with a plan!" Lin Xi, with Dou Hu lifted by the giant bear, said again, "Otherwise, die!"
As soon as he finished, he shouted, "1."
"2."
Before he could say "3," Dou Hu shouted at the fastest speed of his life, "I have a plan!"
"I have a plan!"
"Don’t kill me!"
"It won’t do any good to kill me!"
However, Dou Hu saw that Lin Xi’s face was growing even more murderous, signaling the giant bear.
That gesture was definitely one of intent to kill.
What’s going on?
Hadn’t he just said he had a plan?
Why did they still want to kill him?
Didn’t they want to save that little girl?
But before he could think any more about it, he quickly explained, "I have their phone number, I can call them."
"Just say there’s another batch of high-quality goods that urgently need handling!"
"Even if they have urgent matters, they wouldn’t refuse."
Lin Xi snorted coldly, as if to say, Couldn’t you have just said that earlier?
A moment ago, he was dithering with nonsense, making Lin Xi really feel like killing.
After all, every second was precious now.
Because no one knew what the next moment might bring for the baby.
"Get in the car!" Lin Xi ordered.
The four people and the bear got back into the RV.
Dou Hu exhaled deeply and began to pull his phone out of his clothes to make the call.
However, the first call went unanswered.
He could feel the murderous aura thickening in the car, almost suffocating him.
He quickly explained that this was agreed upon beforehand.
After two more hang-ups, on the fourth call, the other party finally answered.
"What is it?" A cold, questioning, and wary voice came through.
Evidently, they didn’t quite trust Dou Hu.
Dou Hu felt helpless.
But there was nothing he could do; their mistrust was understandable.
After all, he rarely contacted them.
Usually, it was You Lei and her family who did the contacting.
Of course, he was the strongest enforcer for the You family, and they knew that.
"It’s like this, we have another new batch of goods, could you come to get it?"
"New goods?" the other party repeated questioningly.
"Yes." Dou Hu confirmed immediately.
At this point, if he didn’t confirm and caused suspicion, they would likely hang up.
Once the call ended, it would mean his death.
This was clear from the expressions of the people in the car.
After confirming, the other party seemed to be considering something and did not reply immediately.
But they also didn’t hang up.
On Lin Xi’s side, everyone, including the giant bear, held their breath.
About ten seconds later, the other party replied, "Why not send it along with the previous batch?"
Hearing this, Dou Hu knew he had allayed much of their suspicion and wariness.
Immediately, he explained, "It just arrived, we weren’t notified earlier, otherwise we wouldn’t have troubled you like this!"
"You’d better come to get it?"
After a moment of silence, the other party finally said, "Why is it you this time, where’s Miss You?"
"Miss had a fight with Mr. Shui, so I had to come alone," Dou Hu said.
In fact, the other party was aware that You Lei and Shui Qianze often argued, mostly with You Lei berating Shui Qianze.
This time, the other party seemed to confirm, no longer remaining silent, and said, "We don’t have time to come, the ship is about to sail!"
"So, have Miss You send someone over!"
"The address is XXXX."
Instead of immediately responding with an agreement, Dou Hu said, "I’ll inform Miss about this situation."
After hanging up, he waited about a minute before calling again, "Miss said it’s fine."
"In fact, I’ll personally deliver this batch to you, so no need to worry."
The other party expressed thanks, and both sides ended the call.
As soon as the call ended, Lin Xi’s car started.
It accelerated with unimaginable speed, zooming forward.
Xi Xiaoyi finally showed some relief, though she still glanced nervously at Lin Xi, "Isn’t there going to be any accident?"
Lin Xi reassured her, "There won’t be!"
Zhou Yan, who had been silent throughout, also breathed a sigh of relief.
But when her gaze fell on Dou Hu, her murderous intent was very apparent, more intense than before.
Especially after his phone call.
