59. Don’t Call the Police

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Chu Xiao didn’t think he was able to sleep, because he was alert to every sound and movement when he was in a strange place.

But to his surprise, he fell asleep.

As for the reason…

Was it because of the drug or something else? Chu Xiao didn’t want to get to the bottom of it.

……

The next morning.

Lying in the only bed in the apartment, Chu Xiao was woken by the sound of Ling Fan’s footsteps, although Ling Fan was treading cautiously and lightly.

Chu Xiao looked up at Ling Fan and asked in a cold tone, “Why are you here?” His voice was hoarse and harsh.

Chu Xiao’s unfriendliness didn’t affect Ling Fan at all. He looked relaxed.

“I’m here to change clothes. I have to go to school.”

With that, Ling Fan took out some clean clothes from the wardrobe and began to get changed. He didn’t care whether Chu Xiao was looking at him.

“You…”

Chu Xiao’s face clouded over. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, but the words fled from his tongue.

Because…

He found that something worse had taken place.

One night had passed, but the drug in his body was still taking effect.

Although he felt better than yesterday, his arms and legs were still weak.

He didn’t have the strength to do anything but raise his hands.

Damn it!

What the hell was the drug?

The effects of general drugs didn’t last so long.

At the thought of that, Chu Xiao’s face dropped to the floor. He had a strong desire to tear up the person behind all this…

His homicidal aura blanketed the vicinity, and Ling Fan keenly perceived it.

He stole a glance at Chu Xiao and found that Chu Xiao’s face was livid with anger. He knew what Chu Xiao was angry about.

‘I see. Chu Xiao didn’t take a shower last night. I think his plan is to call his subordinates when the drug no longer has any effect and ask them to pick him up. Then he will manage to find out who’s behind all this and kill him…

Unfortunately…

He was tormented for an hour last night. This morning he woke up and found himself still weak and limp. Anyone in his position would fly into a rage.

I’m wondering whether he will choose to turn to ashes with me if I tell him that the drug’s effect will last a month,’ Ling Fan thought.

With his back to Chu Xiao, he curved his lips into an evil smile.

‘Chemical drugs may be consumed or pass out of our system overnight, but microorganisms won’t.

I purchased a unique microorganism for almost two million, and then managed to mutate its genes.

I don’t know how long this mutated microorganism can survive. I don’t have the time to do a test. But according to Dr. Li, it can be active in the human body for more than a month. What’s more, the activity of the mutated microorganism hasn’t reached a climax up to now,’ he thought to himself.

At the thought of what had happened to Chu Xiao last night, an evil look flashed through his eyes.

The microorganism’s activity would reached a climax in ten days. What would Chu Xiao do by then? Ling Fan looked forward to the day…

Meanwhile, a feeling of emptiness surged up from the bottom of his heart, but he deliberately ignored it…

“Er, there are ten minutes left. Do you want breakfast?” After all, Chu Xiao got in such a plight mainly because of him. Besides, Chu Xiao would live with him for a long time. He would feel guilty if Chu Xiao starved to death.

Chu Xiao turned a deaf ear to Ling Fan’s words. Obviously, he was still immersed in anger and displeasure.Read More at wuxiax.com

Ling Fan didn’t get angry. He turned around and went to the kitchen.

Eight minutes later, he put a bowl of noodles on the only computer desk.

“Shall I carry you there?” asked Ling Fan. He didn’t ask whether Chu Xiao wanted to eat or not.

“No.”

Ling Fan said patiently, “Alright, help yourself to the noodles. Remember to do the dishes.”

In fact, Ling Fan was not a patient man.

However, he seemed to be very patient and kind with Chu Xiao.

Er… Perhaps it was because he felt somewhat guilty about putting Chu Xiao in such a situation.

The pity was that Chu Xiao was not moved by his kindness.

He frowned and ignored Ling Fan.

After a short while, Chu Xiao suddenly said, “Don’t call the police.”

He was afraid that Ling Fan would call the police and then he would be arrested for burglary.

At the thought of the possibility, he became restless.

“I won’t do that.”

‘Call the police? Are you kidding me? I’m afraid that if I call the police, they will come to arrest me instead of you,’ Ling Fan thought to himself.

In order to win the trust of Chu Xiao, Ling Fan added, “Despite your threatening words, you’ve not hurt or robbed me up to now. So, don’t worry, I won’t call the police. Er…” He thought for a while and continued, “I’m leaving.”

He didn’t realize how soft and gentle his voice was. At this moment, he seemed to regard Chu Xiao as his family.

Chu Xiao subconsciously replied, “Oh.”

He didn’t realize what he had done until Ling Fan left.

‘Shit! He’s stupid and noisy. Why did I respond to him? I seemed to have seen a smile on his face just now. Was he laughing at me?’ At the thought of that, Chu Xiao’s face darkened once more.

But it was not the time to pursue the matter.

The effects of the unknown drug were beyond his expectation.

He had to rethink what to do next…

Chu Xiao’s eyes fell on the computer desk.

His focus was not on the noodles but on the computer.

‘According to Chen Feng’s customary efficiency, he should have found me long ago. But actually, he hasn’t yet. It must be because he doesn’t know where I’m.

So, I think the first thing I must do is send him a message.

Damn it! Those guys robbed me of all my belongings yesterday.’

At the thought of that, Chu Xiao felt a surge of anger. He gritted his teeth, struggled to his feet and staggered to the computer.

To his surprise, a power-on password was needed to get into the computer system.

‘Does he think I would steal his computer?’ Chu Xiao thought.

He was annoyed.

Actually, Ling Fan set the password, not to prevent his computer from being stolen, or prevent Lei Lei from playing with the keyboard, or prevent Lei Wu from playing Chinese poker games on his computer.

The fact was that he was reminded to set a password when he reinstalled the computer system. So he entered a string of numbers at random.

As for the password…

Chu Xiao entered ‘123456’.

With a loud ‘ding’, the screen flashed a message: The password is incorrect.

Then he tried ‘111111’.

No doubt it was a wrong password, too. This time a line appeared on the screen– ‘The password is incorrect. A hint: Birthday.’

‘Damn it! I don’t know when his birthday is,’ Chu Xiao thought to himself.

He input ‘199941’.

“Ding…”

A message on the screen said, ‘The password is incorrect, and your computer is locked. Please answer questions if you want to unlock it. Question 1: Who is your father?’

Chu Xiao input ‘I don’t know’.

‘You are right. Question 2: Who is your mother?’

Chu Xiao input ‘It’s not important’.

‘You are right. Question 3: Who is your beloved?’

Chu Xiao didn’t think Ling Fan had a girlfriend. He raised his eyebrows and entered ‘Nobody’.

‘You are wrong. The computer has been formally locked.’

Chu Xiao cursed, “Damn it!”

Annoyed, he rudely threw the keyboard on the desk and stared fixedly at the screen. He hated everything in this apartment including the noodles on the desk.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Chu Xiao’s subordinates were in a bad mood.

They were overwhelmed with guilt for failing to protect their boss. Xuanming District was their base camp. The Chu Xiao kidnapping was mainly caused by their neglect of duty.

What was more, the night passed, but they still hadn’t found out where Chu Xiao was.

In the office of Chu Group.

At the sight of Chen Feng coming in, Rong Hua asked, “Have you found Boss?”

His face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were black-rimmed. He looked expectantly at Chen Feng, wanting an affirmative answer.

The rest of them were also worried about Chu Xiao. They stayed up all night, looking for Chu Xiao, but in vain. They could keep calm in any cases, unless something unexpected happened to Chu Xiao. They didn’t expect that anyone would dare to kidnap their boss…

With a livid face, Chen Feng answered, “No. I found no new clues. The car we followed yesterday was just a deceptive trick. It was illegal imported, the same as the other car that had taken Boss away. So, there’s no information about those two cars. By the way, I found Boss’s car in the park not far from our company. The car locator is intact, but there’s no record of its driving route last night. I think kidnappers left the car deliberately in the park.”

With that, Chen Feng looked up at Lin Tianchen who was sitting in front of a computer.

“Hey, Lin Tianchen. Have you found any clues?”

Lin Tianchen shook his head helplessly and replied, “No, not at all. You are right. The kidnappers cleaned up the scene without leaving any traces. There are no signals received from Boss’s cell phone. I contacted the Department of Transport, and learned that their computer network was hacked last night, and there were no surveillance videos. As for the car locator you mentioned, I’ve tested it and concluded that it was affected by a signal-shielding device…”

Despite his unwillingness, he had to admit that the plotter was a genius. A guess flashed through Lin Tianchen’s mind, but soon he denied it…

The plotter couldn’t have been…

Lin Tianchen knitted his brows and shook his head.

“What are you thinking of?” asked Chen Feng.

“Nothing.” Lin Tianchen shook his head again. “What should we do?”

“Keep looking– I believe Boss will contact us.”

Although yesterday’s kidnapping was obviously very carefully planned, Chen Feng believed that Chu Xiao would be fine.
