122. A Call from Luo Li

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Hello…” Chu Xiao was obviously annoyed by the call, but he frowned and still answered it.

Due to the excessive use of his voice last night, Chu Xiao sounded a little hoarse. At the same time, his sound had never been so lazy before, and a trace of lust that could not be detected easily was also mixed in it.

This kind of voice was actually completely different from what Chu Xiao usually spoke.

However, Chu Xiao’s voice was quite easy to recognize, so one could still tell through the phone.

What’s more…On the other end of the phone, it was the person who paid great attention to Chu Xiao.

Luo Li!

“…” Luo Li was obviously stunned by that voice.

The voice obviously didn’t belong to Ling Fan.

So…

It was Chu Xiao!

After realizing this,

on the other end of the phone, Luo Li’s eyes suddenly widened. His face, which originally had an elegant expression, was instantly covered with horror. In a panic, the phone in his hand almost fell to the ground.

The next second, Luo Li hung up without thinking.

However, the shock on his face still couldn’t calm down after a long time. His hand trembled violently as he held the phone. He didn’t know if it was because of shock, fear, or… anger.

However, what happened in that half a minute had completely exceeded his expectations.

That day, at the Lan Group’s shareholders’ meeting, Ling Fan’s sudden appearance surprised him so much that he had even lost his usual calmness and judgment.

And because of Chu Xiao’s sudden change of mind let him have no idea about what to do next.

In the past few days, he calmed himself down and thought about it before finally realizing what he had neglected.

At the meeting that day, Chu Xiao suddenly changed his mind and overturned his original plan. It was clearly because of Ling Fan’s attitude.

At that time, he only thought that perhaps the two of them knew each other, or perhaps it was because Chu Xiao had been paying attention to Ling Fan’s another identity Fan Ming, so Chu Xiao suddenly changed his mind after knowing Ling Fan expressed his attitude.

But thinking about it now, things might not be that simple.

Who was Chu Xiao?

The superior underground emperor of the N City, he wouldn’t change his thoughts for anyone. So it was even more impossible to let him show anyone some face.

However, Chu Xiao changed his mind that day just because of Ling Fan’s statement.

What did it mean?

It could only show that Ling Fan held a lot of weight in Chu Xiao’s heart. He even surpassed a plan, a project, and even a land which Chu Xiao had already been coveting…

But why…

This was what Luo Li had been confused about.

How did Ling Fan have the identity of ‘Fan Ming’ and so many assets? And how did get to know Chu Xiao? Even if he knew him, why would Chu Xiao give Ling Fan the face?

Ling Fan was once just a poor student in his eyes who was incompetent and cowardly, and very unremarkable. Even if he broke out suddenly, in Luo Li’s eyes, he was still a useless student, at most a Grade A student.

However, on that day, a day he had planned for so many years, the fact that Ling Fan had brought him was no different from a slap in his face…

However, if he could not bear those consequences, he would not be that Luo Li who had been hiding for ten whole years just to get the position of the Lan family’s head.

Luo Li who had calmed down quickly found the key to the problem.

It was Ling Fan!

Yes, it was Ling Fan, the student he once looked down on.

Therefore, as long as he could get rid of Ling Fan, all doubts would be readily solved, and…maybe he could use this old chess piece to gain more benefits.

After all… ‘Fan Ming’ was really a bit shot, and it was quite possible he’d keep on good terms with Chu Xiao.

Thinking of this, Luo Li decided to “talk” with Ling Fan without hesitation. Didn’t this student like him very much before, maybe he could…

However, though Luo Li made up his mind, he never expected that Ling Fan hadn’t even come to school at all for the whole week saying he was ill.

Luo Li called today trying to ask Ling Fan out on the weekend.

But…

He did not expect that the person who picked up the phone would be Chu Xiao!

Early in the morning on the weekend, Ling Fan’s phone call was picked up by Chu Xiao. In addition…Even though the other side only responded, he could still notice the abnormality in his voice.

Well…What else was there to say?

He had also thought that the relationship between Chu Xiao and Ling Fan might not be common, but in any case, he did not expect that the two of them would be this kind of relationship…

Haha, one was the man he had been trying to get, while the other was the useless chess piece of his. Such two people got together!

Was it sarcastic?

Sure, they deserved to die!

At that thought, Luo Li’s originally beautiful face suddenly became ferocious, while at the same time, there was a thick hatred and murderous intent in his eyes. Of course, and…jealousy, crazy jealousy.

On the other side.

The sudden busy tone stunned Chu Xiao, then he slowly opened his tiring eyes and noticed that the phone he had just taken was Ling Fan’s.

Although he knew it was not good, he frowned and instinctively opened the call logs.

“White Lotus?” Seeing the name saved, Chu Xiao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow.

This shouldn’t be a good address, right?

So, who could make Ling Fan save his name like this…

Chu Xiao gave Chen Feng the number corresponding to the name without hesitation.

In less than half a minute, Chen Feng sent a reply.

This time, it was not that Chen Feng was efficient, but because they also knew the owner of the number…

Looking at the name Chen Feng sent over, Chu Xiao picked his eyebrow.

“Luo Li?” That illegitimate son of the Lan family… ” Ling Fan’s current head teacher.

Saving his number with the name white lotus, the little bastard should have been on guard against Luo Li long ago.

However…Before this, the relationship between the two of them was just teacher and student. What had happened that made Ling Fan make such an evaluation of him?

Chu Xiao couldn’t help but think about it and frowned again.

“Chen Feng,” Chu Xiao called Chen Feng.

“Boss, is there anything I can do for you?” Chen Feng asked. However, thinking that the boss asked him to check Luo Li’s number just now. Uh…To be precise, asked him to find out it was Luo Li’s number…So this should be related to that.

Chen Feng guessed correctly.

On the other side of the phone, Chu Xiao said in a low voice, “Go investigate Luo Li, mainly about what has happened between him and Ling Fan in school.”

When he heard the first half of the sentence, Chen Feng thought that he guessed correctly this time. The boss suddenly asked him to investigate Luo Li, perhaps because he found something wrong with him, but that Luo Li was not simple at first glance, especially…

However, Chen Feng’s face finally darkened when he heard Chu Xiao’s last sentence.

Damn, it was related to Ling Fan again!

“Got it, boss, you can count on me. I’ll find it as soon as possible,” Chen Feng said with a heavy face.

“Hm,” Chu Xiao replied.

After two seconds of silence, just as Chu Xiao was about to hang up, Chen Feng finally couldn’t help but speak.

“What?”

“Boss, you…your voice doesn’t feel right. Is there a problem?” Chen Feng asked carefully, his tone full of concerns.

As the number one subordinate of Chu Xiao, how could he not be worried? The boss left with Ling Fan last afternoon!

“Nothing,” Chu Xiao said after hearing Chen Feng’s question.

“Oh, well…Boss, are you still with that little bas…I mean Ling Fan?” Chen Feng couldn’t help but ask again.

Chu Xiao’s face turned cold as he heard him.

“This is not something you need to take care of,” Chu Xiao said in a low voice with a overwhelming tone.

“No, uh, boss, I’m just a little worried…” He naturally knew that things between the boss and Ling Fan were the boss’ private life. As a subordinate, he had already crossed the line to care about these things.

However, Ling Fan was not simple…

This time, before Chen Feng could finish speaking, Chu Xiao interrupted him, “What? Do you want to be exiled for a few more months?”

“Boss, I…I have crossed the line…” Chu Xiao’s words made Chen Feng shiver and he quickly said.

“Do your job, as for the other things…manage your own thoughts,” Chu Xiao said, then hung up.

After putting down his phone, Chu Xiao couldn’t help but frown with a headache.

It seemed that Chen Feng was very averse to Ling Fan’s existence.

Chen Feng was his most trusted subordinate, while Ling Fan was the person he liked and someone he was close to.

Therefore, he did not want Chen Feng to have a problem with Ling Fan.

It seemed like the two of them had a problem with each other the first time they met…

Perhaps he needed to think of a way to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two of them.

Misunderstanding…

Thinking of this, something suddenly crossed Chu Xiao’s mind.

Chen Feng wasn’t someone who didn’t have a big picture, so even if he had a problem with Ling Fan, he wouldn’t be as alert as Ling Fan?

And…It seemed like Chen Feng’s attitude would become unusually dissatisfied and alert whenever he mentioned Ling Fan.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao’s eyes suddenly sank.

His mind flashed the scene Chen Feng wanted to say something when they talked about Ling Fan…

Just as Chu Xiao was about to think of something, the sound of the card swiping suddenly interrupted Chu Xiao’s thoughts.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and the familiar footsteps following, Chu Xiao was stunned. For some reason, a trace of panic flashed in his heart, and then he closed his eyes without hesitation.
