But for Xu Fei, the delay was dragging on too long, so he asked Old Zhang to hand the phone back to Bai Zhan.
“If I order you to use a human wave tactic to search the mountains now, do you think it’s feasible?”
As soon as Bai Zhan picked up, Xu Fei fired off the question, but it stumped Bai Zhan.
“Well… Young Master Jun, you may not know, but the mountain behind this village is massive. Just finding Old Zhang took a huge amount of manpower. I’m afraid what you’re suggesting isn’t very practical…”
Even Bai Zhan said so, and Xu Fei realised it might indeed be unfeasible, so he sighed and said, “Alright, then pass on a message to Old Zhang for me. I’ll agree to his request, but you’d better keep an eye on him until I get back!”
“Understood, Young Master Jun!”
After hanging up, Xu Fei soon received a message from Bai Zhan with details about the person who bought the Tai Sui.
To Xu Fei’s surprise, he spotted a familiar name on the list.
“Wang Qiang? The one who bought the Tai Sui is actually that old friend of mine? What a coincidence!”
Muttering to himself, Xu Fei’s phone rang, and sure enough, it was Wang Qiang calling.
“Hey, Mr. Wang, you need me to save your friend’s life, right?”
Xu Fei got straight to the point, startling Wang Qiang.
“What… Could it be, Mr. Xu, you’ve got some kind of foresight now?”
Xu Fei chuckled lightly.
“Enough chit-chat. Tell me where your friend is right now, and I’ll head over immediately.”
Wang Qiang didn’t dare delay and gave the address. Xu Fei then directed the taxi driver to head straight to the destination.
“Mr. Xu, we’re waiting for you at Ziguang Pavilion on the third floor of Hansong Tower.”
Perhaps growing impatient, Wang Qiang sent another text to urge him, but Xu Fei was already downstairs at Ziguang Pavilion.
At the elevator, Xu Fei noticed a woman in a blue miniskirt inside when the doors opened.
Though she had a decent figure, her heavily made-up “internet celebrity” face instantly turned Xu Fei off.
“Hey! What are you touching? Believe it or not, I’ll call security!”
Xu Fei had only reached to press the third-floor button but accidentally brushed against her, getting mistaken for a creep.
Luckily, she got off on the second floor, and Xu Fei couldn’t be bothered to argue.
He reached the third floor and headed straight for Ziguang Pavilion.
*Knock, knock, knock…*
Xu Fei knocked on the door. A young man opened it, cigar in mouth, giving him a disdainful glance.
“If you’re looking for someone, go somewhere else. Don’t you know what kind of place this is?”
With that, he slammed the door shut.
At that moment, panting sounds came from the nearby stairwell.
“I’m knackered! Didn’t they say it was on the second floor? Why’d it change to the third?”
Xu Fei looked up and saw the same woman from the elevator.
Spotting Xu Fei, she got visibly excited and rushed over, frantically knocking on the door.
