Chapter 556: Chapter 483: Revenge_2
Monk Wukong shook his head and let out a sigh.
"Let’s talk about the mobile phone," Yang Xiao said abruptly, changing the subject and looking at the monk’s jacket pocket, "This phone was broken from the outset. I’m thinking it might be some sort of hint."
"Such as?" asked the monk, his eyes bright and piercing.
"I don’t know, but it would be a pity to smash it. Besides, I know that when you handed the phone to Wen Chongxian, it was a feint; you knew he wouldn’t dare accept it," said Yang Xiao. "When I was smashing the phones, I noticed that you were expressionless at first, but when I deliberately smashed near this phone, your expression changed. You were worried that I might smash this phone as well."
"Why?" Yang Xiao pressed, "What’s so special about this phone?"
Monk Wukong went silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, and his first words stunned Yang Xiao, "This phone isn’t broken."
"What?!" Yang Xiao looked astonished.
"The first night I got this phone, around midnight, it suddenly rang," said Monk Wukong in a low voice.
Yang Xiao tensed up upon hearing this, "Who was calling?"
"The other end was a dead line," Monk Wukong said, his gaze piercing into Yang Xiao. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Yang Xiao had expected this outcome the moment he heard about the ringing phone, yet he still instinctively sought confirmation.
"A ghost call..."
"I didn’t answer it. The phone rang for about half a minute before it stopped," Monk Wukong explained. "But later, when I checked the phone again, it was still broken."
Yang Xiao understood the monk’s decision not to answer; after all, self-preservation is everyone’s top priority. Putting himself in the same situation, Yang Xiao wouldn’t have answered such an obvious ghost call either.
"But why did you hide this from us?" Yang Xiao asked.
Monk Wukong furrowed his brows and looked unnaturally towards the direction of the door, "Because it came."
"Who came?" A shock went through Yang Xiao’s heart.
"That ghost," Monk Wukong replied softly, "When I pushed the door open the next day, I saw a bloody footprint outside, toe pointing towards my door. I took that as a warning from the ghost to keep its secret."
"But when I went back to my room to get some water, intending to wash away the footprint, it had disappeared as if it were just a hallucination."
The ghost had actually visited Monk Wukong, something Yang Xiao had not anticipated at all. No wonder Monk Wukong realized so early on that there might be something wrong with the phone; this was the main reason.
As the night deepened, it was past 10 o’clock. Approaching half past 11, Yang Xiao suddenly heard noises from the yard. Peering through a gap in the window curtains, he saw several silhouettes scaling the courtyard wall, and one had already approached the outer door of the villa on the first floor.
From their tall silhouettes, it was clear that they were Mr. Wolf and his group, with whom he had prior dealings.
Indeed, having not received a call by 11 p.m., Sha Meihui had grown anxious and sent Mr. Wolf and his men to investigate. They had waited until this time to take action; Sha Meihui was truly patient.
Downstairs, the sound of the door opening could be heard. Yang Xiao knew these people had keys; they had a key to this place, and Sha Meihui had long been prepared for such a situation.
However, he and the monk were unarmed and certainly not a match for Mr. Wolf and his men. If it came to a fight, they would be at a disadvantage.
Yet Yang Xiao had made up his mind: no matter what, he would not initiate a call. Even if Mr. Wolf and his men were to beat him to death, he would drag Sha Meihui down with them.
"Chu brothers?" Mr. Wolf’s shout came from downstairs, "Monk Wukong?"
There were also vigilant footsteps. After checking around downstairs, these people began to ascend the staircase. After all, they had turned on every light they could in the villa, so for a time Mr. Wolf and his men didn’t know where the two were hiding.
"Chu brothers, where are you? The boss is worried about you." Mr. Wolf’s footsteps landed on the stairs, accompanied by the sound of something scraping against the walls.
From the sound, it must be a long knife or some other sharp weapon, carelessly scraping past the walls.
Just as Yang Xiao grabbed a fruit knife, held his breath, and hid behind the door ready to fight them off, suddenly, a piercing ring exploded behind him, scaring the cold sweat out of him.
Meanwhile, Monk Wukong’s face turned grave as he took out an old cell phone from his pocket—the same phone that was supposedly too broken to turn on. But at that moment, it vibrated frantically, with its small black-and-white screen flickering back and forth. Yet the incoming call was showing a number that didn’t exist.
A ghostly call...
The footsteps of Mr. Wolf and his men ascending the stairs markedly hastened, nearly taking two steps at a time, and they rushed up, starting to slam on the door.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Open up!"
"Open the damn door!" Mr. Wolf bellowed from behind the door, "You two damn bastards, dare to fool me, call the boss now, immediately!!"
The bedroom door was just a wooden one, not very sturdy. It looked as if it would be kicked open at any moment, and at the crucial juncture, Monk Wukong pressed the answer button. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Holding his breath, there was a crackling sound on the other end of the phone, and faintly, some very heavy and slow gasping could be heard, as if it were the wheezing of someone on their deathbed.
Besides that, nothing else happened. A gap had already been forced in the door. Then, as Yang Xiao watched tensely, with a "bang", the door was kicked open, and the sound of several sets of rapid footsteps immediately rushed in.
But Yang Xiao was stunned because although he heard the footsteps, he saw no one.
The footsteps charged back and forth in the room, even passing right through where Yang Xiao stood. Mr. Wolf and his men’s roars were deafening, reverberating right in that bedroom, to be precise, right next to his ear!
Simultaneously, the table inside the bedroom was knocked over, chairs were kicked down, and even the bed covers were thrown aside. The bathroom door was repeatedly opened and shut right in front of them, and even the curtains were torn down, the window flung open—it felt as though someone was pulling the window handles, looking outside.
"Mr. Wolf, there’s no one outside!" A roar came from the direction of the window.
"Damn it! The intel Xie San gave was fake, they didn’t come back at all tonight!"
Mr. Wolf’s roar was right behind Yang Xiao, but there was nothing there, it was empty!
Yang Xiao didn’t know how to describe the feeling before him. He felt a sense of disorientation as if he and the Monk were on different timelines in the same location with Mr. Wolf and the others.
Without a doubt, all of this was due to the phone call, the call that Monk Wukong had answered.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
Mr. Wolf and his men quickly left. Yang Xiao could hear their rapid footsteps, swift as the wind, leaving behind a mess in the bedroom.
However, the footsteps lessened once they reached downstairs. From an original 5 or 6 people, after running out of the front door, only 3 or 4 remained. This tactic was too amateur; Yang Xiao had seen it all before. It was clear that someone had stayed and was hiding downstairs.
At that moment, Yang Xiao looked towards Monk Wukong, who hadn’t moved at all and remained in the position of answering the call. One hand held up the phone to his ear, while simultaneously, his complexion subtly changed, his expression evolving from complex to lucid.
