Finally, Xiao Caiyin received a call from Su Chen. She was very happy and excited, and her originally bad mood suddenly improved.
When Lu Botao saw Xiao Caiyin answering the phone, he immediately frowned and felt unhappy.
In his eyes, the Xiao family father and daughter only have him to rely on, and are his appendages from whom he can always suck blood. Now that they maintain contact with the outside world, it is disrespectful to him and poses a threat to him.
He didn't want the Xiao father and daughter to escape from his control. In his opinion, the best situation would be for the Xiao father and daughter to remain in this state, living in the cheap rental house he arranged for them and giving him money from time to time.
If the Xiao family father and daughter wanted to leave his control, he would be the first one to be unwilling.
So he saw Xiao Caiyin talking on the phone with someone, and she looked so happy and excited. He felt very unhappy, frowned, and asked Xiao Yuanjia in a commanding tone: "Who is she talking to on the phone?"
Xiao Yuanjia was a little surprised at first, but then he came to his senses and realized that this was most likely a call from Su Chen, so he became excited and didn't bother to answer Lu Botao. He quickly walked over to Xiao Caiyin and asked in a low voice: "Is it Su Chen?"
After receiving Xiao Caiyin's nod of approval, Xiao Yuanjia clenched his fists and an excited expression immediately appeared on his face.
Now, for the entire Xiao family, Su Chen is the only one they can rely on.
Only when Su Chen turns things around will their Xiao family follow suit.
At their level, they will not naively believe in justice. The only thing that can defeat magic is magic.
In a major case like Su Chen's this time, and the experience of the entire Xiao family, it is impossible and unrealistic to expect the official to clear their names.
The only way to turn things around is for Su Chen to become powerful enough to resist Wu Xu and directly overthrow Wu Xu. Only when Su Chen is proven innocent can their Xiao family be proven innocent.
As long as the official wanted list for the Xiao family is lifted and they are free again, the Xiao family will be able to recover quickly with their abilities.
On this point, Xiao Yuanjia never doubted the abilities of himself and his daughter Xiao Caiyin.
But he didn't see that Lu Botao's face became even uglier at this moment, almost so gloomy that it seemed like water was dripping out of it!
Xiao Caiyin and Su Chen didn't talk for long on the phone because Su Chen had to come over in person. After asking for Xiao Caiyin's address, they reported to each other that they were safe and hung up the phone.
"How is it? What did Su Chen say? Is he okay now?" Xiao Yuanjia asked impatiently. As the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuanjia rarely showed such an anxious side.
Xiao Caiyin nodded vigorously, a bright smile appearing on her face. She suddenly became brighter and more energetic, and her charm increased a lot.
During this period of time, she was indeed very worried and in a very bad state.
It was only when she saw Su Chen escape from trouble that day at the shooting range that she felt a little better. But the improvement was actually very limited, because neither Su Chen nor the Xiao family's troubles were resolved.
Especially yesterday, when she heard the news that Su Chen had killed Wu Jianye, she became even more uneasy. She kept trying to contact Su Chen but failed.
This made her very worried and uneasy, but thank God, Su Chen was fine and took the initiative to come to them. This was really a very happy thing!
In an instant, she felt like she came back to life and her life became full of hope again.
"Xiao Caiyin, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
At this time, Lu Botao walked over, frowned, and said coldly.
When Xiao Caiyin heard his voice and saw his arrogant attitude, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant. Her wonderful mood instantly became gloomy, and she secretly said in her heart that it was a disappointment.
However, she did not argue with Lu Botao. Su Chen would be here soon. This was the happiest thing in recent times. She had so many things she wanted to say to Su Chen.
So she replied calmly, "No one, just a friend."
"Friend?" Lu Botao immediately stretched out his voice, his expression suddenly becoming grim. He glared at Xiao Caiyin and cursed unkindly, "What's wrong with your brain? You're still contacting other friends at this time. You think you can't die quickly enough, right? Do you know how intense the official wanted notice is?"
Xiao Caiyin frowned, "My friend is very reliable and won't betray us."
"Hmph! You can't judge a person by his appearance. How do you know his heart is reliable?" Lu Botao cursed loudly. "You are so heartless! I took such a big risk to help you, and you actually want to contact other people! If you get caught, I will be an accomplice. Are you trying to kill me?!"
Lu Botao became more and more excited as he spoke, and even reached out to grab Xiao Caiyin's phone, "Let me see who you called!"
Xiao Caiyin immediately stepped back, dodging his grab, and was also angry. "Lu Botao, are you sick? I said I'm a reliable friend! Besides, what's the point of snatching my phone? Do you really think we are your prisoners?!"
Xiao Yuanjia immediately stood in front of Xiao Caiyin to protect his daughter, staring at Lu Botao coldly, "Xiao Lu, please be respectful, we are not your prisoners!"
“Okay, okay!”
Lu Botao laughed in anger, "You all want to turn against me, right? You have guts!"
He simply stopped pretending and held out his hand, saying, "Give me five million right now, or get out of my house!"
"I want to see how you can live without my protection!"
Five million is not a lot for the Xiao family father and daughter. Even now, it is just a small amount.
