Chapter 163 Scam Phone Calls?
Bai Ruxue was unusually proactive today, forcing Li Yi to drive recklessly.
I ran a red light.
Fortunately, with this miracle doctor around, there's no worry about him causing any harm to Bai Ruxue's body.
More than an hour later.
"Xiao Li... I will never leave you in this lifetime!"
Bai Ruxue lay on the sofa in the office, her eyes glazed over.
Li Yi put his arm around her, holding a large steamed bun in his hand, and said, "Sister Bai, then I'll eat you for the rest of my life."
"Whatever...eat however you like~"
Bai Ruxue was completely exhausted.
After a long while, the office finally quieted down.
Li Yi glanced at the time and realized that it was already past five in the afternoon.
"By the way, Sister Bai, tonight is the grand finale of 'Who is the King of Singers,' do you want to come with us to cheer for Sister Song?"
Li Yi has just written several more formulas, and Bai Ruxue is now eager to have samples produced and launched on the market immediately.
However, Song Yaqing is, after all, the spokesperson for Shui Zhi Yun, and tonight is the final.
Bai Ruxue simply nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you. After the show is recorded, we can discuss the promotion of the new product with Lao Song."
The two tidied up the office, and Bai Ruxue changed her clothes before leaving the factory.
Wang Tao will definitely attend Song Yaqing's competition, and she will dress up in her finest attire.
Li Yi simply drove back to the apartment.
Just as he was about to reach the apartment building, his phone rang again.
Li Yi thought it was Wang Tao calling to urge him to go to the show, but unexpectedly it was an unfamiliar number.
"That's strange, who called me?"
Li Yi answered the phone while driving.
A man's voice came from the phone, "Kid, your woman is in our hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, you'd better behave..."
Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, then subconsciously glanced at Bai Ruxue in the passenger seat, and immediately laughed at his phone, "Hey buddy, even if you want to lie, next time you should at least come up with a more plausible reason."
After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.
Bai Ruxue asked curiously, "What lie? Xiao Li, who made that call just now?"
"A lunatic trying to scam people ended up calling me instead of you. It turns out you've been kidnapped," Li Yi said with a smile.
Bai Ruxue wrinkled her nose upon hearing this. "Hmph! There are definitely more and more scammers these days. Don't answer calls from unknown numbers anymore."
"Don't worry, I won't be fooled."
Li Yi smiled and said, "By the way, I'll give Sister Wang a call and see if she's ready."
As he spoke, he dialed Wang Tao's number.
Inside a warehouse in Jiangcheng.
The man in the suit stared blankly at the phone that had just been hung up.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Liangli frowned immediately. "Gangzi, what's going on?"
"Third Master, that kid said... said I was a liar, and then hung up the phone."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liangli's face immediately darkened.
He turned his head and looked at the warehouse not far away, where a beautiful young woman in her thirties was tied up and bound to a chair.
"Does that kid not care whether she lives or dies?"
"This... I don't think so."
The man in the suit hesitated for a moment, "You're a skilled doctor, yet you're willing to work as a technician in a small beauty salon. Your relationship with this woman must be quite special."
"Hmph! How could a mere woman compare to the Thirteen Ghost Needles? That kid..."
Before Zhao Liangli could finish speaking, a cell phone rang.
The man in the suit glanced at the caller ID on his phone and immediately perked up. "Third Master, it's that kid surnamed Li calling. He definitely still cares about this woman."
"Then stop wasting time and answer it already."
......
"Hey, Sister Wang, are you ready...?"
After Wang Tao answered the phone, Li Yi had just started to speak, but before he could finish, another man's voice came from the phone.
"Kid, I'm giving you one last chance. If you dare hang up again, you'd better wait until your woman gets her hands on you!"
Crunch!
Li Yi slammed on the brakes.
The sudden braking threw Bai Ruxue, who was in the passenger seat, out of the car. "Hey, Xiao Li, what are you doing?"
Li Yi seemed not to hear her words, and shouted impatiently into the phone, "Who are you? How come you have Sister Wang's phone?"
"Hmph! Kid, stop talking nonsense. If you want this woman to live, you'd better do as I say."
"I'll agree to whatever you want, but please don't do anything reckless."
"..." The man on the phone seemed quite surprised, pausing for a moment, "I'll send you an address later, bring the Thirteen Ghost Needles over!"
Thirteen Ghost Needles?
Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and then a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
Zhao! Liang! Li!
Li Yi's face immediately darkened. "Fine! As long as Sister Wang is alright, I'll hand the things over to you."
"As long as the items are safe, she'll be fine. Oh, and remember, someone's coming over. If they dare call the police, she's dead meat."
"Don't worry, I promise I'll go alone."
Bai Ruxue had overheard the gist of the phone call earlier.
Seeing that Li Yi had hung up the phone, Bai immediately asked, "Li, has something happened to Taozi?"
"She was kidnapped by Zhao Liangli, and he asked me to bring the Thirteen Ghost Needles to her." Li Yi said as he restarted the car.
"What?!" Bai Ruxue was shocked upon hearing this. "Then we need to call the police immediately!"
"No!" Li Yi shook his head. "Sister Wang is in their hands now. If we call the police, they might just kill her."
"So... what should we do now?"
"They need the Thirteen Ghost Needles. Sister Wang will be fine for now. I'll go back and get the things."
A dozen minutes later, the Audi A8 arrived at the apartment building.
Li Yi returned to his room, put the silk brocade containing the Thirteen Ghost Needles inscribed on it into his pocket, and then he made a phone call to Wang Yinghe.
Although the other party had already given the item to them, the Zhao and Wang families had accumulated a grudge over this acupuncture technique over the years.
Li Yi still needed to ask Wang Yinghe for her opinion on how to handle the situation.
Fortunately, upon hearing that Wang Tao had been kidnapped, Wang Yinghe did not hesitate at all. "Xiao Li, since Zhao Liangli wants it, then give it to him. However, he is ruthless, so you must be careful."
"Okay, I understand!"
Li Yi hung up the phone and turned to Bai Ruxue, "Sister Bai, wait at home first, and whatever you do, don't call the police."
"Xiao Li, you..."
Seeing the worry on Bai Ruxue's face, Li Yi reached out and touched her cheek. "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Sister Wang back safely."
