Chapter 284 It's going to get worse
[Fairy Huo's daily fortune-telling: I'm not so bored as to cast a curse on you. You intended to leak the secret and forcefully dragged others into karma. You are not upright and are suffering from karma backlash. You deserve it.]
Li Kai almost vomited blood.
【Kai: You're talking nonsense, I didn't even send it out! 】
They said he was the one who did evil, and that he was suffering the consequences of his actions.
But he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
If that's the case, then why should he suffer backlash?
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Huo Ning smiled instead.
[Fairy Huo's daily fortune-telling: If you can't tell others, it's because you are not as skilled as others, not because you didn't do this thing. Li Kai, you can only wish for the best.]
If he continues to help the tyrant and harbor evil thoughts, his future will only be worse.
Li Kai's mind was a mess.
He never imagined that his kindness in reminding his good brother would lead to such a serious consequence.
…
At this moment, Tang Le had already received a call from Xu Yi.
"Tang Le, there is news about Amin."
Xu Yi on the other end of the phone had a hoarse voice with a hint of sadness and excitement.
It was as if he had been waiting all day and finally got news from his lover.
Tang Le clenched his fingers into his palms.
Xu Yi is really a good actor.
He pretended to be affectionate and loving, but not only did he deceive others, he probably also deceived himself.
Tang Le warned himself in his heart not to act hastily at this moment.
She must control her emotions and make this scumbag get what he deserves.
She pretended to cry with joy, "Really?"
"Xu Yi, are you sure there is news about Minmin? You are not lying to me?"
Xu Yi seemed even more excited than her. "I didn't lie to you. It's hard to explain over the phone. Let's talk about it in person!"
The two agreed to meet at a cafe.
The location of the cafe is a little off the beaten track.
But it's not too biased.
Seeing the location information sent by the other party, Tang Le sneered in his heart.
Xu Yi was indeed a smart man. If he had arranged the meeting at his home, or at a more remote place, she would definitely not have kept the appointment.
This place is just right.
She followed Huo Ning's instructions and swallowed the white soft candy given to her by the female ghost in white before leaving the house.
When she arrived, Xu Yi was already sitting in the store waiting for her.
She put her phone in her shirt pocket, exposing the camera, and hid the earphones in her hair, covered by her hat.
[Let me see what a scumbag looks like. Oh wow! He really looks like a scumbag! ]
[I have taken a screenshot to remember this face, sisters, I believe you are also recording the screen, right! ]
【That’s a must! 】
[Huo Laoliu really made me cry. She had already ended her live broadcast, but at night, she was willing to go online again for Tang Le.]
The waiter handed the menu to Tang Le, who was wearing work clothes, a hat, a mask and black-framed glasses.
Because of his cold, his voice was hoarse and a little nasal.
"What would you like to drink?"
Tang Le ordered a hot American coffee.
Xu Yi is the same as her.
After the coffee was served, the waiter went out.
Tang Le's eyes paused, then he looked up at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and a gentle smile appeared on his sad face. "I asked the boss to clear the place in advance."
"I don't want anyone who has nothing to do with it to know what we are going to say next."
【What a coincidence, we are all unrelated people. 】
[This guy made me laugh to death. He thought what he did was flawless and he was still trying hard to act like a big shot.]
[You bastard, stop acting like a beast. I get mad when I see you acting like this.]
[Shh, stop arguing, let's first see what this scumbag's purpose is! ]
"You said you had news about Minmin? Xu Yi, how is Minmin now?"
Tang Le's face showed some anxiety.
There was even some excitement and trembling in her voice.
Xu Yi closed his eyes and looked at Tang Le with complicated eyes. He looked at her for a long time, as if he had something to say.
But he tried hard to open his mouth, and the words that came to his lips finally turned into a sigh.
Tang Le was anxious instead. Most of the coffee spilled on the table and splashed all over Xu Yi, but she didn't even notice it.
"Why are you sighing?"
"Tell me what happened to Minmin!"
"Whether dead or alive, there must be news!"
She held Xu Yi's arm tightly, and even though there was thick clothing between them, Xu Yi's arm was still painful.
It took Xu Yi a long time to pull his arm back from her hand.
There was a hint of displeasure in his brow.
But he didn't say anything in the end. He just took a deep breath, and deep sadness leaked from his eyes.
"I don't know what to tell you."
"I don't know if Minmin is doing well now, but her situation will get worse in the future."
After he finished speaking, he just stared into Tang Le's eyes quietly, not wanting to miss any emotion on her face.
Tang Le was stunned, his face was frozen, as if his mind went blank for a moment.
Tears fell from her eyes, and she asked in a sobbing voice, "What do you mean it will be worse next time?"
Xu Yi's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his expression inevitably showed some pain.
"I received a call from abroad."
"They asked me to pay a ransom of 5 million, otherwise the next time I saw Minmin's body on the news would be hers."
Five million was a huge sum of money for Xu Yi before.
But for him now, it is not that difficult to make ends meet.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to spend the money to save Minmin, I'm just afraid it's a bottomless pit."
"I am even more afraid that even if I pay the money, I will only receive bad news in the end."
Tang Le was startled, his pupils shrank severely, "Can't we call the police?"
“I applied, but it was no use.”
Xu Yi was like a deflated ball, his eyes were dull and detached, "But after I called the police, I received a second call from them."
"The only sounds on the phone were Minmin's crying and screaming."
"Tang Le, I really don't know what to do."
He handed the phone to Tang Le and turned on the recording. "Listen, is that Minmin's voice?"
Tang Le knew that he was acting, but he still clicked on the so-called recording.
The sound of a heavy object hitting the body, the repeated pleas, the sharp cries, each one was like a sharp knife, stabbing Tang Le's heart.
That was indeed the voice of her best friend Cheng Min.
[Help! This sound is terrible! ]
[How can this person be so shameless? He is clearly the culprit, yet he still pretends to be innocent. He even dares to play such a tragic recording to Tang Le. How can he be so despicable! ]
[I am so angry, when will this guy die?]
[He just mentioned that 5 million, isn't he asking Tang Le to help him out? ]
Huo Ning listened to what they said calmly and whispered in Tang Le's ear, "Ask him questions and take a sip of the hot American coffee you just ordered."
