His heart grew heavier, and every breath became harder and harder. He felt as if his body was surrounded by an invisible darkness, making him unable to move.
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence of the office. The ringing, like a sudden sound in a silent forest, startled Xu Zhixu. He looked up at the phone, as if searching for its source. The phone flickered quietly on the desk, as if telling something.
Xu Zhixu slowly picked up the phone, his fingers trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then said softly, "Hello?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, the voice was gentle and concerned: "Xu Ge, I heard that you are in some trouble. If you need help, I am willing to do my best."
Xu Zhixu felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard this voice. This voice had accompanied him through many difficult times, giving him strength and courage. But now, he was powerless to change the situation.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Thank you for your concern."
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. His eyes revealed a deep sense of fatigue and helplessness.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised, but soon understood what Xu Zhixu meant.
The voice on the other end of the phone was gentle but firm: "Brother Xu, I know you may feel helpless now, but please don't give up easily.
Even when you feel like you're in deep trouble, there's always a silver lining waiting to be grasped.
Xu Zhixu was silent for a moment and sighed deeply. He knew he couldn't make the person on the other end of the line understand his predicament, nor could he convince them that he was beyond redemption.
He shook his head gently, trying to remain calm: "I don't want you to get involved."
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Brother Xu, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be here to support you. Whatever help you need, I will do my best to provide it to you."
Xu Zhixu listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew it was genuine concern and help, but he really didn't want more people to be implicated.
He took a deep breath and then spoke slowly: "Thank you, but I really don't need help. This is my problem, and I can handle it myself."
He hung up the phone, then sat down at his desk, staring at the computer screen quietly.
The ringing of the phone gradually faded into the air, and the office returned to its peaceful state. Xu Zhixu sat there, staring blankly at the computer screen, as if searching for an answer.
His heart was heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest. He knew that he had reached a point of no return, but he was still unwilling to give up.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew he needed to focus and find a solution to his problem.
He began to organize his thoughts and think about his next plan of action. He knew he needed to find a breakthrough to get out of this predicament.
Time passed unnoticed, and the lights in the office were dim and gloomy. Xu Zhixu had been sitting there, not leaving his seat. His eyes were firm and decisive, as if he had found a solution to the problem.
Finally, Xu Zhixu picked up the phone. His fingers hesitated on the keys for a moment, then he resolutely dialed a number. The ringing of the phone echoed in the empty room, and every ring seemed to be beating on his heart.
While waiting for the call to connect, Xu Zhixu felt his heartbeat quicken. His eyes were firm and powerful, as if he had made up his mind. After the phone rang twice, the other party finally answered the call.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a man's voice, low and indifferent.
"Hello, I need your help." Xu Zhixu's voice was also cold and firm.
"What mission?" the other party asked.
"Kidnap someone." Xu Zhixu's voice said without a trace of hesitation.
The other party was silent for a moment, as if considering the risks and feasibility of this mission. Then he replied quickly, "Okay, give me the information."
After hearing the other party's answer, Xu Zhixu felt a little relieved. He knew he had reached a point of no return, but he was still unwilling to give up. He needed this mission to complete his plan, even if it might bring some unforeseen consequences.
He pulled out his computer and began compiling information about his target. He needed as much information as possible, including his daily habits, travel routes, and the people around him. He knew this information was crucial to the mission's success.
As Xu Zhixu sorted through the information, various scenarios and details flashed through his mind. He imagined the mission's execution and the target's reactions and actions after being kidnapped. His heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation, but he also knew he had to remain calm and rational.
When he had prepared the information, he called the other party again: "I have prepared the information. When can we meet?"
"Meet at XX Cafe at 10 o'clock tomorrow night." The other party replied.
"Okay," Xu Zhixu replied. He knew this mission would change his life, but he also knew he had to face the challenge.
The next evening at ten o'clock, Xu Zhixu arrived at the XX Café on time. He saw a man sitting in a corner, holding a cup of coffee. He walked over and sat across from the man. The man looked up at him and gestured for him to start explaining the task.
Xu Zhixu began to describe his target and his plan in detail. He tried to keep his voice calm and confident, but he couldn't hide his inner uneasiness and nervousness. He saw that the man's expression didn't change as he listened to his explanation, only occasionally nodding in understanding.
After Xu Zhixu finished his introduction, the man began to ask, "Is this mission risky?"
"Yes, there are certain risks." Xu Zhixu said frankly.
Answer, “But I will provide as much detailed information and plans as possible to mitigate the risk.”
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I accept this mission. I will start as soon as possible."
After hearing the man's response, Xu Zhixu felt a little relieved. He knew he had found someone he could trust and rely on. He took out the prepared materials and handed them to the man: "Here are the details of the target and my plan. I hope this will be helpful to you."
