Chapter 290: Strange Call
Xu Wenlong has eaten countless times at Liang's house, and tonight is the happiest and most comfortable. During the banquet, Liang Jingxuan changed his old-fashioned, majestic, and unrestrained smiles, and even the haggardness, pain and depression after the heavy injury were swept away, and he became radiant and radiant as if he was reborn. From time to time, he raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and talked endlessly about anecdotes, anecdotes, and strange things about various countries. The language is humorous and witty, and the expressions are rich and exaggerated. Dancing with hands and drawings, everyone kept clapping and laughing. Make the whole living room warm and infinite for a while, like a spring breeze.
While eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, Ah Mei hurried upstairs under the leadership of Aunt Xiang. She first said hello to Liang Jingxuan's family, and then said to Xu Wenlong with an anxious face: "After receiving your call, I will come over directly." What do you think? Is it really done? No surprises. ”
"That's it, thank you for your help. This is the car key, everything is in the car, you can deal with it when you have time. Xu Wenlong handed the two sets of keys to Ah Mei, and then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Come, sit down and eat something together." ”
"No, I'm not hungry at all." Ah Mei hurriedly excused herself.
Liang Shiqi got up and came to Ah Mei's side, pulled her hard to push her to the chair, and persuaded her while pushing: "It's okay, Sister Ah Mei, you can sit down." ”
Ah Mei couldn't refuse, so she had to look at Liang Jingxuan with an uneasy gaze.
Liang Jingxuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden chair and said, "Sit down, it's nothing anyway, it's not too late to deal with the car in a while." ”
Ah Mei listened, and then sat down timidly with a red face.
So Aunt Xiang brought a few plates of freshly fried hot dishes, including a pot of fragrant abalone soup, and brought a few empty dishes back to the kitchen after arranging them neatly.
"Come, Sister Mei, drink a bowl of soup while it's hot." After Liang Shiqi saw Ah Mei sit down, she took a bowl and wanted to help her serve soup.
"No, no, no, how can this be? Don't do that! I...... I can't afford it! Ah Mei, who had just sat down, stood up again like an electric shock, and reached out to grab the bowl in Liang Shiqi's hand.
Chen Lixin smiled and said, "What can't you afford to bear?" She's younger than you, and you're a guest. Besides, with your careful protection and thoughtful care of her before, it is natural to serve you a bowl of soup. ”
"It's my job, it's my duty. But now that Aaron has protection, I have nothing to worry about. Ah Mei said and snatched the bowl from Liang Shiqi's hand and quickly filled half a bowl of soup for herself.
Liang Shiqi had no choice but to sit back beside Xu Wenlong.
Liang Jingxuan said to Ah Mei: "That's why I transferred you to the personnel department." As it turns out, I was not mistaken. This can be seen from your performance in the last two days, dedication and dedication, so that Aaron has no worries. Of course, you've done a great job before, and it's all visible to the staff! ”
"Thank you for the chairman's compliment, I will definitely work harder and more attentively in the future, and strive to do a better job." Ah Mei blushed and whispered.
"Very well, young people should be an example. Be enterprising and hardworking, and don't lose your mind and lose your pursuit of life! Liang Jingxuan nodded frequently and said, "By the way, where did I talk about it just now?" ”
"Speaking of an African tribal chieftain who bought a cell phone." Liang Shiqi couldn't wait to answer.
"That's right! Speaking of buying a mobile phone! Liang Jingxuan continued with great interest.
So everyone stopped eating and drinking, and listened to Liang Jingxuan's talk with great interest.
"It is said that there is a small, impoverished, isolated tribe in Africa, and their chief happened to go to New York and bought a new mobile phone. When he saw what functions such as meeting mode and silent mode were on his mobile phone, he felt incredible and very incomprehensible, so he called the elders to discuss it. A white-bearded elder relied on the old and sold the old, pretending to be smart, and spoke first and said that the so-called meeting mode is the mode that is enabled during the meeting, and the meeting must require everyone to be quiet, so there must be a mute mode. With that, he pressed the meeting mode and loudly announced, 'The meeting is over'. The other elders were curious for a moment, and they began to mumble and discuss. Elder Beard was satisfied. So he waved his hand and yelled, 'Silent mode on,' and gently pressed his phone. The elders immediately stopped talking, and all of them looked at Elder Beard quietly. When the chief saw the remarkable effect, he couldn't help but be amazed and amazed. So he pointed to the airplane mode on his phone and asked, what does that mean? Elder Beard said proudly, "Don't you understand?" It's used to fly. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. The chief believed it, and immediately grabbed his phone and threw it into the air. Just as everyone was happily waiting to watch the air show, they didn't want the mobile phone to snap down from the air and fall into countless small pieces in an instant. The elders shook their heads and burst into laughter. When Elder Hu saw it, he patted his head again and again and said in frustration, forgot to refuel, forgot to refuel, how can you fly without refueling? Even real planes can fall from the sky......"
"It's so exciting, it's so funny!" After listening to this, Liang Shiqi and Ah Mei clapped their hands and laughed.
Xu Wenlong couldn't help it.
Although Chen Lixin was smiling and very happy, she said to Liang Jingxuan in a reproachful tone: "Don't patronize and laugh, let's ask everyone to eat more." It's not too early, and it's time to rest. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, eat vegetables, everyone please eat whatever you want." Although Liang Jingxuan was talking about it and was still unfinished, he didn't dare to disobey his wife's order, and he never violated it.
Liang Shiqi saw that it was indeed very late, so she stopped pestering her father, and lowered her head and ate obediently.
Xu Wenlong had already eaten and drunk enough, and was constantly persuading Ah Mei to eat and drink soup.
So the living room returned to calm, except for the clock on the wall, which was ticking tirelessly.
"Bell Bell Bell ......" A rapid bell rang suddenly, which was particularly harsh in this large and quiet living room. Everyone was taken aback, immediately stopped eating and drinking, and looked at Xu Wenlong with a blanket of eyes. Especially Liang Shiqi, her expression was flustered, her eyes were surprised, and she looked completely worried and overwhelmed.
"Who else is calling at such a late hour?" Xu Wenlong took out his mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. So, under everyone's gaze, he slowly pressed the answer button.
The phone was connected, and after a crackling horn that seemed to hit a sandbag, there was a hoarse tone that was out of breath and out of breath: "Manager Xu Wenlong?" I have heard your name for a long time, and it is indeed like thunder, and it is worthy of your name! Admire, admire! ”
"Someone I don't know." Xu Wenlong shook his head at Liang Jingxuan and the others, with an inexplicable look on his face. He shrugged his shoulders and asked loudly into the microphone, "Who are you, please?" Why do you say such things? ”
"Don't ask me who I am, you don't know me." He chuckled in a hoarse tone, and said in a calm and relaxed tone as much as possible, "But I have a person you know very well, and you will know it in a moment." ”
"Hey, hey, who the hell are you? What do you want? Xu Wenlong's heart sank, and he faintly felt that the situation was not good. He called into the microphone again and again, but the other party had already hung up.
"Did you make the wrong call?" Liang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and the doubts and worries on her face were also swept away. As long as it wasn't Luise calling, she was relieved, or with her energy and madness, what could she not do?
"No, they can call my name." Xu Wenlong shook his head with a calm face, and then said the content of the phone call.
"Isn't it some boring person who wants to joke and joke with you?" Chen Lixin pondered for a moment, looked at everyone with an inquiring gaze and said.
"No way, no one would joke with me like that." Xu Wenlong's brows were tightly locked, his face was worried, and a name that he didn't dare to think about but had to think about instantly came to his mind.
Liang Jingxuan paced around the living room with his hands crossed, repeatedly muttering "a familiar person, a familiar person......". After a long time, he said to everyone in disbelief: "Could it be ......?"
"Luise!" Xu Wenlong and Ah Mei replied almost at the same time.
Liang Jingxuan nodded worriedly, frowned and slowly analyzed: "Who else will there be besides her?" After all, we just got the disk disc back, this is the meat of Wu Thief's heart, how can we not pay attention to it all the time? And with his cunning and treacherous schemes, it is entirely possible to deduce the real 'inner ghost' who committed the crime, even if the scene is carefully disguised. ”
"Is it Luise? It can't be true, right? Looks like it's dangerous, huh? What can I do? Liang Shiqi shouted anxiously. Although she was jealous and even a little hated Louise, she was so soft-hearted in this emergency that she couldn't help but worry about her.
"Wait for me to call and see, I hope it's a joke, a prank!" With a hint of luck, Xu Wenlong picked up his mobile phone and was about to call back.
At this moment, the mobile phone whistle sounded, and a message reminder was immediately displayed on the screen whether to receive the video file.
Liang Jingxuan's face changed, and his body almost collapsed to the ground. He pointed to his phone and stammered, "It can't be...... It won't be that...... That video......"
"Dad, which video is it? Have I seen it? Liang Shiqi looked at Liang Jingxuan and asked suspiciously. She knew that her father had been exploited by Wu Gongquan, but she did not know the real reason for the extortion.
"You two girls go away, let me take a look." Chen Lixin, who was quiet and quiet, suddenly stood up, pushed Liang Shiqi and Ah Mei away, and decisively reached out and pressed the play button.
The playback began, but the picture was pitch black, and only some scattered and jumping figures could be vaguely distinguished, but the sound of banging was very clear, judging from the movement of the group of people waving their arms and kicking their legs and the sound they made with them, they were obviously beating someone on the ground like crazy......
"It's not...... Isn't that video ......" Liang Jingxuan wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and his face showed a look of great joy. But when he remembered that this was someone Xu Wenlong was familiar with, he trembled in his heart and shouted in a panic, "Who is it?" Look at who that man on the ground is? ”
Liang Shiqi, who was blocked out of the circle, couldn't help but be curious, and quietly stood on tiptoe to take a peek. It didn't matter if she looked at it, I saw her suddenly scream, and her body immediately fell to the ground limply.
When Ah Mei saw it, she hurriedly ran over and helped her up.
"Oh my God, it's Lu...... It's Luise, it's really Luise! They...... How can they do such a poisonous thing......" Liang Shiqi burst into tears, trembling all over, and couldn't even finish her words in pain.
Yes, it was Lois who was lying motionless on the ground.
I saw that the group of people in the darkness punched and kicked for a while, and then they scattered and jumped away with a roar, and then the overhead light was lit, and the strong pillar of light pointed directly at the bloody and miserable victims on the ground. As the image slowly passes and freezes, the victim's face gradually becomes complete and clear, until it is reflected on the screen in the center. But who is not Louise? Her eyes were closed, her body was skinless, her flowing hair was messy and knotted, stained with blood, and her whole body did not move except for the slow rise and fall of her chest and the slight squirming of her lips. Apparently he had been tortured unconscious, unaware, and on the verge of death.
Xu Wenlong screamed, threw down his mobile phone and ran out.
Ah Mei's eyes were quick, and she grabbed Xu Wenlong, who was extremely frenzied, raised her willow eyebrows and asked sharply, "What do you want to do?" Where are you going? ”
"Save her, I must save her! This is my personal promise to her! Xu Wenlong's face was pale, his eyes were cold, and he shook his hand and pushed Ah Mei unsteadily, almost wanting to fall.
But after all, Ah Mei is a bodyguard, has seen some battles, and has some strength. I saw her take three steps back, stabilized her legs, and then jumped forward, hugged Xu Wenlong with both hands and said, "How to save?" Where to help? What if you turn the ocean upside down? Can you find them? ”
Xu Wenlong was stunned and stopped struggling. Yes, it's a big ocean, but where to find these villains. He stomped his feet violently, and his mouth was full of grief and indignation: "Damn! Damn it! ”
Ah Mei saw that Xu Wenlong's mood gradually stabilized and he was no longer impulsive and reckless, so she let go of her double queen and stood aside silently.
Liang Shiqi, who was at a loss, ran to Xu Wenlong's side, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Aaron, I know that Louise has helped us a lot, and we are all infinitely grateful to her, and it hurts us to see her like this now." But...... But it's not a ...... for you to rush into them so rashly Isn't this to hasten her death? Aaron ......"
"Ah Qi is right!" Liang Jingxuan also came over and persuaded, "Not only will you not help by doing this, but it will ruin a big thing." You might as well think about it, after they captured Louise, they didn't take her life directly, but went to great lengths to send you the video footage of her mutilation, why? Isn't it money? I see that after the Wu thief lost my handle, he began to lose his breath and became an angry dog jumping over the wall. If nothing else, I guess they'll call soon. If it's really about the money, it's so much easier! Even if I smash the pot and sell iron and bankrupt my family, I will definitely find a way to redeem her. ”
"Yes, yes, we will do whatever it takes to save Louise!" Chen Lixin also comforted Xu Wenlong. She spoke softly and gently, but her tone was firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Wenlong glanced at Liang Jingxuan and his wife gratefully, shook his head and muttered, "Luise, Luis is a CIA agent. In order to collect evidence of Wu Thief's crime, she did not hesitate to risk her life to break into his company, and endured humiliation and burdened her to deal with him. But now her identity has been exposed, and her life is seriously threatened. And all of this is caused by helping me steal optical disks, how can this not make me uncomfortable, how can it not make me angry? I have repeatedly promised her that as long as she is in danger, I will support her and rescue her as soon as possible! Can ...... now But now ......"
"Louise...... Is Louise an undercover agent? Oh my God, no wonder she's so mysterious and so brave! After listening to Xu Wenlong's story, Liang Shiqi's heart suddenly rose in addition to surprise and disbelief, the rest was all worship and admiration, no longer hating her, no longer afraid of her, and even felt that she was so cute and so likable.
Liang Jingxuan was not much surprised by this, it seemed that everything had been expected by him, or maybe he had too rich life experience and was not surprised by many bizarre and strange things. He patted Xu Wenlong on the shoulder, and said resolutely with a sad expression: "No matter who she is, whether she is an agent or a civilian." In short, I will not leave her alone, let alone watch her die. I will definitely do my best to help her, rescue her, and let her come back safely as soon as possible. ”
"Do you hear that? Don't blame yourself anymore," Liang Shiqi grabbed Xu Wenlong's hand, broke his tight fists hard, and comforted softly with tears, "It's not your business alone, it's a matter of me, dad and our family, let's find a way to solve it together, okay?" ”
Xu Wenlong calmed down, watched everyone and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I was too impatient and impulsive for a while, so I made such a reckless and reckless move, maybe it's because I'm too guilty and too sorry for Luise." In fact, in this case, I should indeed be more calm, and I should consider a safe rescue plan with a cool head. If ......"
didn't finish a sentence, just as Liang Jingxuan expected, the mobile phone thrown on the ground by Xu Wenlong suddenly rang loudly and vibrated endlessly, like a dawn before dawn, bringing infinite hope and infinite joy to the people trapped in the dark......
