villa.

A few people were having dinner when they heard the phone ringing in the study.

"Who is it? Calling at this time?" Lian Yi took two bites of rice and was about to get up to answer the phone. Mu Lianshen put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "I'll go answer it. It should be for me."

"oh,"

When Mu Lianshen came to the study, the ringing stopped. He didn't rush to call back. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Almost as soon as he sat down, the phone rang again.

He tapped the table lightly and picked up the phone. A man's faint laughter came from the other end of the receiver: "Have you eaten?"

Mu Lianshen said coldly: "Just tell me the truth."

Huo Tianyan on the other side sighed, "I've sent someone back to you."

"Oh," Mu Lianshen just responded lightly, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

"Although your men almost hurt me, and what they did was not very decent, I won't hold it against you. However, your men were seriously injured. Brother, please don't be angry when you see this. After all, "

Huo Tianyan chuckled: "It's courtesy."

Mu Lianshen remained silent.

The person on the other side didn't care whether he spoke or not, because he knew he was definitely listening, so he continued: "I hope this will be the last time, don't test me, and don't provoke me."

"Between us, the time has not come yet,"

Mu Lianshen spoke at this time, his voice was very light: "When?"

This time it was the other side that was silent.

It was a long time before Mu Lianshen heard Huo Tianyan's extremely calm voice. He asked, "Mu Lianshen, do you know my sister Huo Tianwen?"

"Know,"

"Do you remember her, then?"

Mu Lianshen responded without hesitation: "I don't remember."

"Heh..." Huo Tianyan let out a mocking laugh, then said lightly: "It's you, Mu Lianshen."

Mu Lianshen smiled casually, "Don't tell me that you are targeting me because of your sister."

"Then I have something to say. I haven't even said a word to Huo Tianwen. Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"

"Mu Lianshen, don't try to provoke me," Huo Tianyan's voice was cold, like the collision of ice and jade.

"Heh..." Mu Lianshen also laughed, and the sarcasm in his laugh was almost doubled.

As if to say, he is just angry, what can you do?

After waiting for a while, Huo Tianyan on the other side said calmly: "Mu Lianshen, you are a well-educated person. The dead are gone. Don't talk about my sister in such a contemptuous tone."

Mu Lianshen didn't speak for a while. There was silence between the microphones, with only the sound of the two people's breathing.

Mu Lianshen leaned back on the chair, put the microphone on the table, listened to the speaker, his eyes deep, and suddenly said: "What do you want to do?"

"How far have you gone?"

After asking two questions in a row, Huo Tianyan on the opposite side smiled.

He smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will implicate innocent people?"

"I guess, you're testing me and trying to provoke me to make the first move because you're afraid that I'll not only target you, but also that something might happen to your friends, right?"

"I told you that, with your personality, you should remain calm even if you know there is danger."

Downstairs, Lian Yi, who was eating, paused while picking up food.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, he threw away his chopsticks and walked quickly upstairs.

Yi An, who was eating nearby, saw his panicked look and thought something had happened, so he put down his bowl and went upstairs.

On the phone, Huo Tianyan laughed softly and said teasingly, "Sure enough, it's really your character. You are indeed the upright, kind-hearted, and righteous Mu Lianshen."

He said leisurely: "Don't worry, as long as you come alone at the time, I won't touch any of your friends. Oh, yes, and your precious daughter."

Across the phone line.

Mu Lianshen could not see the scorn on his face or the smile in his eyes, nor did he see the coldness on Mu Lianshen's face or the disdain in his eyes.

"You're talking nonsense," the door was suddenly pushed open, and Lian Yi rushed in with an angry face, and started to speak crazily into the microphone, "You bastard, damn it, don't even think about touching him, I've been with him all the time, if you have the guts, just try and move him,...beep...beep...beep...beep..."

Mu Lianshen gave him a soothing look, and Lian Yi closed his mouth reluctantly. However, he was still very angry and kept staring at the microphone, wishing he could get in and bite the man to death.

Huo Tianyan on the other side said with a sinister tone, "Your friends really protect you."

Mu Lianshen chuckled: "You naturally can't understand such feelings. After all, you have no friends."

Huo Tianyan sneered and continued, "I don't care about these illusory things."

"Indeed," Mu Lianshen leaned back and said in a cold tone, "You really don't care about many people. There is only one Huo Tianwen and the little brother who fell into the water, right..."

"Yes," Huo Tianyan's tone suddenly became a little sad, and he said softly: "Brother, there are very few people who have won my heart in this life, my beautiful and intelligent sister, and that soft and cute little brother,"

"And... you."

Mu Lianshen's expression paused for a moment, and then he heard his voice again: "My sister was humiliated and died of suicide. My younger brother..."

At this point, although Mu Lianshen couldn't see others, he could clearly feel his mood change from the microphone.

He said: "I died in the boundless sea, it's boundless..."

He let out a long sigh: "A small child fell down and disappeared in an instant. How scared he must have been at that time. My emotions tell me that he can survive, but I am a rational person."
