“Oh… I remember now. It’s you two. Huh, I didn’t notice it at the time, but this is actually a little nun!”
Although the three men recalled the incident, they didn’t seem ready to admit it outright. Instead, they took the opportunity to tease Lanhua.
“How dare you! I’m giving you one last chance! If you still refuse to talk, you’ll end up like this!”
Seeing them dare to harass Lanhua right in front of him, Xu Fei was furious. He reached out and, like tearing apart a toy, effortlessly ripped the car door off with his bare hands and held it up!
“This… this guy is a monster, right?”
The three men from Bogutong were stunned for a moment, then huddled together, whispering to each other. After a while, they seemed to regain their confidence.
“Hmph! We live in a civilized, law-abiding society. Who are you trying to scare? You say we scammed you, but do you have any video or audio evidence? Or even a photo?”
The reason the three men from Bogutong spoke this way was that they hadn’t acted on a whim that day. They had taken precautions in advance.
The alley where the transaction took place had no surveillance cameras nearby, which was the source of their confidence.
Hearing this, Xu Fei initially wanted to continue using force, but then he realized that while it might vent his anger, it wouldn’t help him recover the remaining Jade Arhats.
So Xu Fei took out his phone and looked at Lanhua.
“Lanhua, stay right here. I’m going to make a call and will be back soon!”
After giving his instructions, Xu Fei walked to a corner with his phone.
He planned to call Wang Ye again to see if he could arrange for someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the area at that time.
But before Xu Fei could dial, his phone rang with an incoming call.
“Hey, Bai Feng, what’s up?”
Although Xu Fei was anxious, he tried to keep his tone calm.
“What… can’t I call you if nothing’s wrong?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. I just thought you should be in class right now.”
As soon as Xu Fei finished speaking, Bai Feng said angrily, “Class? I am at school, but speaking of which, Lele’s grades have been a bit strange lately. As her father, you should show some concern!”
Hearing this, Xu Fei’s heart skipped a beat.
“What do you mean? Did the little girl see something I missed?”
“Why aren’t you saying anything? I have to tell you, this isn’t a small matter. Don’t think kids don’t understand anything. They can be very observant…”
After listening to Bai Feng, Xu Fei nodded gratefully.
“So that’s how it is. I understand what you’re saying. I haven’t been paying much attention to Lele lately. Don’t worry, I’ll check it out as soon as I’m done here.”
“Because I happened to run into something this time, I had to delay a bit…”
To avoid misunderstanding, Xu Fei explained the entire situation from start to finish.
Bai Feng wasn’t really concerned about the details, but her initially angry mood was somewhat soothed. She had thought Xu Fei wouldn’t care about Lele’s situation.
When she learned that the reason for Xu Fei’s absence was because he was searching for something important, she realized she shouldn’t disturb him too much.
“Alright then, but once you’re done, you need to come back to me right away. Otherwise, who knows how things will turn out!”
Finally, Bai Feng gave a verbal reminder and then hung up the phone.
Seeing the call had ended, Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed the call had lasted over ten minutes, and he was almost frantic with worry.
