Like a gambler who had lost all his money, Newbijian grabbed the phone almost frantically, and with trembling fingers, he pressed the extremely popular number of Repulse Bay No. 3 over and over again.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
The urgent ringing of the bell rang again in the living room of Repulse Bay No. 3.
Lin Huowang sat upright on the sofa, tapping his knees lightly with his fingertips.
Gao Qiaohao stared nervously at the phone that started ringing again.
The phone rang five or six times, no one answered, and then the ringing stopped.
"Why doesn't the boss answer the phone..." Gao Qiaohao was extremely anxious.
Lin Huowang didn't say anything, he just stood up quietly, walked to the phone, stretched out two fingers, and easily, even with a hint of laziness, unplugged the line connector on the back of the phone.
“Click.”
With a soft click, the phone cord completely separated from the phone. The entire world was instantly silent.

Lin Huowang removed his fingers from the small connector and slowly turned around. There was no tension or regret on his face, only a calmness and composure that seemed to indicate he had everything under control.
He looked at the anxious Gao Qiaohao, chuckled softly, walked to the sofa and sat down again, leisurely picked up the glass of melted whiskey and took a sip.
