Hearing Hell’s Ear’s weak voice on the phone, Xu Fei was momentarily stunned.
After all, he had personally ordered Hell’s Ear to draw everyone away, precisely because, in Xu Fei’s eyes, Hell’s Ear’s strength far surpassed that of the Gong family.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him on such a risky task.
But why was Hell’s Ear now calling him for help?
“Where are you? Are you still at the Gong family’s place? I’ll be there right away!”
The situation was clearly urgent, and Xu Fei knew his subordinate was well-trained and would never joke about something like this, so he quickly asked.
But at that moment, a burst of chaotic noise came from the other end, followed by a heavy thud as if the phone had fallen to the ground.
After a long pause, someone picked up the phone, and a voice came through again.
“You’re Xu Fei, right? Your friend is in my hands. If you want to save him, come find me, there’s an old friend here who wants to see you!”
“Oh, and without this guy, you probably can’t even figure out where I am, can you? You useless fool!”
Then the call was abruptly cut off.
Xu Fei felt a bit uneasy, because without Hell’s Ear, it was as if he’d lost a pair of eyes, how could he gather the necessary information?
Moreover, the other party’s last words strongly implied he wasn’t at the Gong family’s place but was hiding elsewhere!
Throughout the exchange, Ma Sanlaizi had been watching from the side, and he finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Mr. Xu, are you in some kind of trouble? Why don’t I take you to Fengtian Tower, maybe there’s a way to help there!”
Xu Fei was initially reluctant to go, not because he was arrogant or thought too highly of himself, but because his last visit had made it clear.
Fengtian Tower and all the people coming and going around it were just a group of pitiful souls unwilling to embrace new things or accept the forward march of time.
The people in Fengtian Tower even refused to use electric lights, still relying on candles for illumination, their lifestyles barely different from centuries ago.
If even Hell’s Ear could be captured, Xu Fei instantly understood the strength of this enemy.
To face such an opponent, a mere Fengtian Tower likely wouldn’t be of any help.
But for some reason, Ma Sanlaizi was unusually insistent this time, repeatedly pleading with Xu Fei.
With no other choice, Xu Fei decided to trust him once.
“Since you’re so insistent, I’ll go with you to take a look, but let me be clear, my time is tight. If I get there and find it’s not reliable, I’ll turn around and leave, got it?”
“Got it, Mr. Xu, I know you look down on the people there a bit, but if you just come with me and see, you’ll understand!”
Without wasting words, Xu Fei quickly set off with Ma Sanlaizi, driving away from Qingfeng Town.
On the road, Xu Fei’s driving could be described as lightning-fast, his foot barely easing off the accelerator.
When they arrived at Fengtian Tower, he ignored the no-parking rule outside, nearly crashing into the building itself.
“Landlady, where’s the landlady?”
As soon as Xu Fei and Ma Sanlaizi got out of the car and entered Fengtian Tower, he began calling out for the landlady.
