Ring! Ring! Ring!
Su Bancheng?”
Xu Bai, who was sitting at home and still checking on her ex-husband to see if he could find any clues, looked at the phone that was ringing at the side. After turning it on, he was slightly stunned when he saw the number on it. “Why is Su Bancheng calling?
He had Su Bancheng’s number.
The last time, Su Bancheng went to Team Leader Zhou’s office. Before he left, the two of them exchanged places.
At that time, the two of them were definitely not strangers. After all, Su Bancheng’s niece was his disciple, so it was normal for them to exchange phone numbers.
‘Still…’
After exchanging phone numbers, Xu Bai did not do anything. He did not need to beg Su Bancheng for anything. Instead, it was this guy who promised to treat him to a meal another day, but up until now, not a single bubble had popped up.
Could it be that he called me to come over for dinner tonight?
Xu Bai thought to himself. He had already begun to think of a reason to politely refuse.
He answered the call.
“Hey!”
“Agent Xu, it’s me, Su Bancheng, Su Meng’s uncle.”
“Hello, Deputy Director Su.”
When Xu Bai heard the voice on the phone, he got up from his seat and walked toward the balcony. He replied politely, “Deputy Director Su, why did you call me? Is there anything you need?”
Su Bancheng glanced at An Ya, who was sitting opposite him, and laughed. Then, he paused.
“It’s like this. I want to ask Agent Xu about two things.”
“Please do.”
Xu Bai smiled and replied, “If I can answer, I will.”
What if this Deputy Director Su asked him for something he didn’t have, or asked him for something he couldn’t do?
What would he do?
The hearts of high-ranking officials were all black.
After all, if you weren’t black-hearted, how could you get to the position of a high-ranking official? Moreover, these high-ranking officials especially liked to find subordinates who could help them with certain things.
Xu Bai was not interested in being anyone’s lackey, nor did he want to curry favor with anyone.
“Agent Xu is investigating my sister, Su Ruyu.”
When Xu Bai heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He thought for a moment and immediately understood.
Homeland Security must have set a notification on her information. Once someone checked the information, the notification would be silently triggered and Deputy Director Su would know.
He could also see through heavenly secrets.
‘He has access again?’
Hiss.
What was the difference between this and a dog with authority?
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
On the other end of the phone, Su Bancheng listened to the sound of breathing. There was no anger in his tone and he was as calm as ever. “It’s like this. I want to ask if there’s anything I can help with. After all, Su Ruyu is my sister.” Xu Bai came back to his senses as his thoughts spun.
“You’ve misunderstood, Deputy Director Su. If I said that I was just curious about what kind of woman Mengmeng’s mother is, would you believe me if I said that I looked for some information?”
“Yes, of course!”
When Su Bancheng said this, his tone was firm and decisive. Then, he changed the topic. “I wonder what your evaluation will be after reading the information, Agent Xu. Don’t worry, I won’t tell my sister.”
Did he think he would believe that?
A politician’s mouth was more deceiving than a deceiving ghost’s.
Xu Bai smiled. “However, Su Meng’s father is the most curious. I don’t think Su Meng’s father is in the information. Moreover, Madam Su Ruyu’s information shows that she’s unmarried?”
Su Bancheng also chuckled.
“That’s right. My sister gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, but she refused to tell us who that person was. After all, if my sister doesn’t tell us, there’s nothing we can do. By the way, Agent Xu, there’s something else I want to ask you.”
“…Go ahead.”
“It’s like this.”
Su Bancheng did not seem to want to continue on this topic. After giving a very perfunctory explanation, he ended the topic and asked if Xu Bai knew what had just happened. For example, some guests who had originally planned to participate in the Subao Day Meeting suddenly said that they had something on and called to decline.
At first, Xu Bai was very puzzled as to why Su Bancheng wanted to tell him about this.
However, when Su Bancheng mentioned it, these people were either related to Old Factory Street or the other half. In short, they were all from Old Factory Street.
Xu Bai was stunned.
The next second.
Xu Bai finally reacted.
His damned charisma.
Xu Bai came back to his senses and shook his head at Su Bancheng on the other end of the phone. “Deputy Director Su, this matter has nothing to do with me.
However, I know now. I’ll handle it.”
Su Bancheng smiled and said politely, “Alright, sorry to trouble you, Agent Xu. After all, you know that our hotel has already been booked. If two-thirds of it disappears, it will be very ugly after the media and reporters report it. Thank you.”
Xu Bai said that he was fine and then hung up.
Su Bancheng listened to the dial tone on the phone and turned off the phone on the table. Then, he looked up at An Ya, who was sitting opposite him.
After a while.
Su Bancheng’s expression was a little strange.
“Team Leader An, do you think Agent Xu is telling the truth?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know.”
Su Bancheng shook his head honestly. “I’m just a fraud. With the concealment of the heavenly secrets, my combat strength will be reduced by half. Moreover, this Agent Xu specializes in psychology. Even I won’t be able to tell if it’s real or fake just by talking.”
An Ya remained silent.
Su Bancheng changed the topic.
“But there’s one thing. I’m sure that part of the information he’s looking for about my sister is real. The other part is that he really is looking for Zuo Lei.”
“There’s no communication between Xu Bai and Zuo Lei. Moreover, if Zuo Lei returns from the Great Desolate World, he will definitely come back to look for his daughter.”
“Yes, it is.”
Su Bancheng nodded. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression became strange. He looked at An Ya and said, “Team Leader An, do you think Agent Xu is here to show me who’s boss?”
An Ya couldn’t help but raise her head to look at Su Bancheng.
“A show of strength?”
“Do you think there’s a possibility that Agent Xu likes our Mengmeng? Then, he’s afraid that our Su family is the kind of wealthy family that maintains their status, so he used this matter to tell me that I’m not a wealthy family, but I’m not inferior to them?”
Su Bancheng said. Then, the more he spoke, the more he felt that his guess might be right.
An Ya’s face darkened. “Impossible! ”
“What happened?”
“He doesn’t like the new year.”
“Not necessarily. After all, as time passes…”
“Pfft!”
Su Bancheng looked at the sword light that was only 10 millimeters away from his throat, and it was emitting a cold light. He stopped in time. “Ha… Haha, I was just joking. Just joking.”
In the old factory community.
After hanging up, the smile on Xu Bail s face instantly disappeared. He put away his phone and walked out of the door. He stood in the corridor outside and looked down.
The first thing he saw was…
Not far away, in the middle of winter, Wang Qiang, who was only wearing a white vest, was doing weight training under Skinny Monkey’s supervision.
In Skinny Monkey’s words, if an ordinary person with no Identity or background wanted to enter the Martial Apprentice Realm, there was no other way. He could only rely on his own perseverance to pass this stage.
Thank goodness.
Wang Qiang might be an ordinary person, but Skinny Monkey was definitely not. Moreover, the golden quality “Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique” that had been upgraded by Xu Bai was a first-rate basic cultivation technique. Xu Bai looked at Wang Qiang, who was running with weights and shouted.
Wang Qiang and Skinny Monkey instantly looked up.
After a while.
As Skinny Monkey cursed, Wang Qiang almost ran to the top floor in five seconds.
Xu Bai looked at Wang Qiang, who was about to lie down and rest, but was kicked up by Skinny Monkey. He could not help but shake his head.
Wang Qiang wanted to cry but had no tears.
“Brother Bai!”
“Don’t call me. You chose it, idol.”
Xu Bai looked at the expression on Wang Qiang’s face and looked up at the top of his head. Level 1 Aiyo!
There was a level.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Qiang. “Good luck.”
Wang Qiang opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn’t want to cheer anymore. However, when he thought about how Skinny Monkey had punched a 50-year-old tree in the forest behind the neighborhood that night, he swallowed his words of giving up.
He couldn’t
He clearly knew that there was another world. How could he not go and take a look?
Wang Qiang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly under Xu Bail s gaze. “Brother Bai, I’ll do my best.”
Xu Bai smiled and said to Wang Qiang, “Find Old Huang, Old Fu, and Old Bull for me. Tell them that I don’t care what they’re doing. Stop immediately.
Otherwise, I’ll move out of here tomorrow.” Wang Qiang and Skinny Monkey were stunned.
“Brother Bai?”
“Brother Bai?”
Xu Bai waved his hand and looked at Wang Qiang. “Go now and say that.”
Wang Qiang came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded. Without looking back, he walked towards the stairs. This time, he broke through his signs again. In less than two seconds, he darted out of the stairs and rushed towards Old Bull’s barbecue shop like a man in the wind.
Xu Bai was speechless.
After Su Bancheng made the call just now, he did not even need to think to know that this was either Old Fu’s doing, Old Bull, Old Huang, or even the three of them working together to play tricks.
What was he thinking?
What were they trying to do?
He simply didn’t want to go to such an event where there were many people and he didn’t know many people.
Great.
He might as well agree to Su Meng’s invitation and go with her.
After this, Su Bancheng and the others wouldn’t think that I had other thoughts, right?
Xu Bai shook his head.
Old Huang and the rest were really too much.
It was a mess.
Xu Bai’s criteria for choosing a partner had always been very firm.
He would never consider those who were younger than him.
Compared to coaxing others, Xu Bai was more willing to let others coax him.
