Chapter 627 Call From Zhixin
************
CHAPTER 627
Mr Li sighed and handed the phone to Bai Renxiang.
"He ended the call," he told them.
Bai Renxiang humphed in anger while Mrs Li sighed with a shake of her head.
"But he said we should take care of you, dear," he added
"Which you are already doing," Bai Renxiang started.
"Yes, but we will have to do more protecting," Mrs Li said.

Meanwhile, after the call, Li Fengjin threw his phone on the bed. He sat and raked his hands through his hair.
That morning, Parker came knocking on his door with urgent news. It was then he learnt the reason why Zhixin was not at the dock to receive the goods the previous night.
Zhixin was in City X. And the worst part of the news was that he and Bi Renxiang met at a mall. Even after Parker told him that Bai Renxiang left without being harmed, he still felt the need to call her.
And he did.
However, he knew just how angry she is at him and was also curious. And the fact that she met that crazy man, Zhixin worried him a lot.
"What did she say?" Parker, who was also in the room with Li Fengjin asked.
"She wants answers. Why I left, who Zhixin is and what is going on. She also wants to know where I am," Li Fengjin answered.
"That is expected. Is she angry?"
"Of course she is. She literally raised her voice at me. She said I should not lecture her about protection when I left with none."
Parker chuckled. "She does have a point though," he said and Li Fengjin glared at him.
"Just saying, man," Parker raised both of his hands in surrender.
"We need to know what Zhixin is doing there in your city," Parker went back to serious talk.
"What else? He is going to play dirty," Li Fengjin said and stood on his feet. He walked straight to the closet and took out a black travel bag.
"Wait. What are you doing?"
"Parking my stuff. What does it look like I am doing?" Li Fengjin rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Okay. So you are going back? What about Zhixin's build here?" Parker kept questioning.
"I will trust you and Roger to deal with that. I am found back to deal with him over there."
"Alright. You can have my word on that. Also, I found the mole. He was amongst the new men sworn into the gang," Parker told him.
"New? He has got guts doing that huh?"
"He sure did and I made sure to rip that gut out of him," Parker smiled a mischievous smile.
"Is it strange that I do not pity the guy?" Ki Fengjin asked a mocking question.
"It sure is not, man." They both laughed for a bit.
"When will we meet again if you go now?" Parker asked after a little while of silence.
"You can come and visit anytime after this whole bullshit is over. And technology is not there for nothing," Li Fengjun answered with a shrug of his shoulder.
"Yeah," Parker nodded.
"So thank you for everything here, Parker," Li Fengjin shook his hands.
"It is only natural I help the man who stopped me from moving on to the next life," Parker smiled.
"Nice. I will see my men before heading back. As soon as I get there tomorrow morning, I will inform you."
"No problem. I will tell my men to get your ride back while you address yours."
"Thanks."
After about twenty minutes, Li Fengjin was boarding the helicopter back to China, City X. And he prayed and hoped he will meet everything in order when he gets back.
If only he could foresee the danger that was already in motion.
******
The next day, Bai Renxiang went to work. She was busy reviewing some files when she got a call from an unknown number. This time it was different from the one Li Fengjin used to call the previous day.
Being a bit sceptical, she answered the phone. She waited for the caller to talk.
"Hi, beautiful."
Bai Renxiang's eyes flew wide open. It was Zhixin.
"Who are you?" She played it cool and asked.
"Oh, don't be like that now. We met at the mall. Li Zhixin, remember?"
"What do you want and how the hell did you even get my number?" Bai Renxiang questioned.
"How I got your number is not important. It is what I want that is," Zhixin said.
"I don't have anything that you want."
"Oh, but I do have something you want. Or should I rather say, someone, you want," Zhixin said and laughed.
Just then Bai Renxiang heard the voice of another on the line and her heart sank into her stomach.
"I want my mummy. Let me go," Li Xiaojin's cries were heard.
Bai Renxiang's face turned as pale as a plain sheet of paper and her palms instantly turned sweaty.
"Xiaojin... You madman, let him go," Bai Renxiang shouted into the phone.
"No no no. You must have forgotten something woman. I do not take orders from you or anyone else. So you better keep that boss in you in check," Zhixin warned in a deeper tone than before.
She will take it that that is the real him. And he is hella serious.
"What do you want?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Now that is the only order I may pardon. You are such a good girl," Zhixin laughed.
"Damn it, you bastard. I'm not playing around," Bai Renxiang slammed her hand on the desk and stood abruptly causing the chair to roll backwards.
"Oh my. You have such a temper, don't you? Hahaha. Anyway, this is what you will do since you can't give me what I want. You are going to leave that cosy office of yours and come to me," he told.
"Like hell, I will do that," Bai Renxiang snarled.
"You do not have a choice sweet cakes. Do as I say or your son gets tons of bullets for brunch," Zhixin threatened her.
"Don't you dare."
"I won't if you just do as you are told."
Bai Renxiang cursed inwardly. He has her on thin ice. Any wrong move will attract dire consequences.
Letting her eyes fall close, she took in deep silent breaths. "Alright, fine. I will do what you ask. But don't hurt my son."
"That's more like it," Zhixin smiled. "Now, you are going to go to the nearest coffee shop to your company. And you must do so without anyone following you."
"How am I supposed to do that without altering any of my bodyguards?"
"That's your problem to solve. Behind the coffee shop, there is a black van waiting just down the lane. Get inside without question," he instructed.
"When I get to wherever you are taking me, you are going to let my son go."
Bai Renxiang wanted to be sure of that first before making any wrong decisions.
"We will discuss that when you get here. Get moving now. Oh, and leave your phone behind. And don't even do anything funny cause I have your phone and every other device of yours hacked. I am watching your every move. Remember, your son's life is in danger," Zhixin passed the final warning before ending the call.
Bai Renxiang let out a shaky breath and blinked back her tears. She was really tempted to make a call or send out a text. But he said he is watching her.
With one last breath, she left her office. The first two people she met were her female bodyguards. She offered them a smile.
"Uhm, boss," Jinhai called. "There is a document that just came in that needs your signature."
"Oh. Really? Let me see," she walked towards his desk.
"You need to sign here and here," Jinhai showed her the necessary places that needed her signature.
"That's all?"
"Yeah, pretty much," he nodded.
Bai Renxiang took the pen lying on the document. She signed quickly and gave it to him.
"Make sure to check that again," she said.
"If that's what you want then sure."
"I am going to grab coffee from the shop down the street. There is no need for you two to follow me," Bai Renxiang said to her bodyguards.
"It is not our choice to make, ma'am. Orders from Master Li himself," Lee said.
"What if I tell you that my won will be in danger if you do?" Bai Renxiang whispered.
"Is the little master in danger? Should we request for backup?" Lee quickly asked.
"Calm down. I am being watched. I want you to go back and check what I wrote in that document with Jinhai. And I want you both to act accordingly," Bai Renxiang told them.
She made sure her lips movement was as minimal as possible while she spoke. Since Zhixin is watching her, he may be able to read her lips.
