Chapter 144 Answering a Phone Call



After all, the address came from him.

Putting everything else aside, this address is definitely fake, no doubt about it.

It's unclear whether Qiwei did this intentionally or if there was some misunderstanding.

Han Mingrui pondered for a moment, then waved his hand at the group: "Don't worry, I won't let you get beaten up for nothing. Take the rest of you and come with me."

It's unrealistic for him to go after Qin Yiheng and fight back, but he can go after Qi Wei and fight back.

We absolutely have to get this out of them!

Qiwei was currently in the apartment where Luo Jinxiu lived.

The house was his after all, and Qiwei was worried about not being able to come for a long time. But he was also afraid of Luo Jinxiu. What was rare today was that Luo Jinxiu took the initiative to find him.

The two tacitly agreed not to mention the time they got drunk.

But Luo Jinxiu's attitude was cold, unlike any other time before.

"You haven't come to visit in a long time, what have you been up to?"

She's been very busy lately, investigating Qing Lingfeng, making plans, and trying to figure out what kind of person Qin Yiheng really is...

She had only glanced at the online comments about Qin Yiheng a few times before and then paid little attention to them anymore. They weren't the real Qin Yiheng, and it was a waste of time to look at them.

It wasn't until he came to his senses that he realized that Qiwei was acting quite strangely.

In the past, Qiwei would come over almost every day, and sometimes every two or three days.

Luo Jinxiu had already suspected that Qiwei knew her identity, but she couldn't figure out how he knew. So, calling him over this time was meant to test him.

Moreover, ever since the last time she got drunk, Luo Jinxiu had little interest in pretending to be friendly with Qiwei.

"Yes, I'm a bit busy."

Qiwei responded, but he was in a very bad state and was somewhat at a loss. Knowing Luo Jinxiu's identity was one thing, but facing her after knowing it was another.

A strong sense of oppression was felt, as if it were a tangible force attached to my body.

"I know, you're asking what you've been busy with?" Luo Jinxiu pouted, her tone commanding, "I asked, so you have to answer."

Qiwei really didn't know why he hadn't noticed her aura before.

Was she hiding it too well, or was I just too careless?

As for this question, he certainly couldn't tell the truth, and could only rack his brains to come up with a more convincing reason.

"Didn't you go to see Jiang Yan again?" Luo Jinxiu asked again, her tone already showing obvious impatience.

Even after she acted like that, Qiwei didn't ask her why she was acting that way, or if she was in a bad mood. He remained very well-behaved, which suggests that he must have known.

"I've looked for her, but she moved, and I still can't find her..."

This question gave Qiwei an opportunity to speak.

Just then, Qiwei's phone rang; it was Han Mingrui.

It's already showing results so quickly?

That doesn't make sense. No matter what Han Mingrui is doing with the address, there's no need for him to tell me.

Holding his constantly ringing phone, Qiwei didn't know whether he should answer it, but it seemed like he couldn't not answer it either.

Especially with Luo Jinxiu watching intently from the side, Qi Wei felt inexplicably nervous.

"I'm going to answer a phone call."

In the past, Qiwei rarely answered the phone behind Luo Jinxiu's back, and when he spoke, it was as if he was showing off to Luo Jinxiu.

However, Luo Jinxiu didn't say anything, watching him walk to the entrance with his phone.

"Hello……"

Where are you?

As soon as the call connected, Han Mingrui asked bluntly, his tone a bit sharp and anxious.

"What's wrong?" Qiwei asked instinctively, but his heart was pounding.

"Let's talk face to face. Tell me where you are," Han Mingrui said, without giving a direct answer.

Qiwei's unease grew stronger. He instinctively felt he shouldn't tell Han Mingrui his location, but he had no reason not to.

Damn! When did I start living such a miserable life? What's wrong with me today?

Just as he was at a loss, he saw Luo Jinxiu again, and a sudden inspiration struck him. He gave her the address, and Han Mingrui responded and hung up the phone.

Qiwei felt that whether Han Mingrui's arrival was a good thing or a bad thing, he wouldn't dare to do anything in front of Luo Jinxiu, would he? She was the eldest daughter of the Luo family.

Even if Han Mingrui felt that this matter had nothing to do with Luo Jinxiu and didn't care about Luo Jinxiu's feelings, Luo Jinxiu couldn't just stand by and do nothing, since she still lived in her own house.

Even if things don't go perfectly, he still has the backing of the Chu family patriarch, and if all else fails, he can always go there for help.

So no matter what, having Han Mingrui come here is the best solution.

Qiwei hadn't realized it yet, but he had unconsciously come to believe that Han Mingrui's arrival was definitely not good news, and that there was something wrong with that address.

What trouble have you gotten yourself into?

After hanging up the phone, Qiwei was lost in thought and didn't even know when Luo Jinxiu had arrived. This sudden sound startled him.

He was already being careful enough, yet Luo Jinxiu still overheard him?

Luo Jinxiu noticed his question and scoffed inwardly at his guilty look.

She explained casually, "I didn't hear anything, but judging from your expression, something must have happened."

"I... I don't know either," Chiwei said honestly.

"Is it related to Qin Yiheng?" Luo Jinxiu became even more interested, looking forward to a good show.

"I have no idea."

Qiwei was already in a state of confusion and had almost no mind to deal with Luo Jinxiu's questions. Moreover, he genuinely didn't know what had happened. However, he had to admit that Luo Jinxiu was very clever. Just by looking at her, she guessed quite a bit, even more so than Qiwei, the person involved.

As they were speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Qiwei cursed under his breath, realizing he'd been startled by the knocking. Was he really that spineless?

Luo Jinxiu found his expression even more amusing, and even wanted to tease him: "Shall I drive?"

"No need." Qiwei turned Luo Jinxiu away, composed himself, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Han Mingrui had a gloomy face, followed by several burly men, each with a face like a debt collector, acting all high and mighty, clearly thugs or bodyguards.

"President Han... oh?"

Before Qiwei could even finish a greeting, Han Mingrui grabbed him by the collar. Qiwei exclaimed in surprise, not understanding what Han Mingrui meant. Why did he attack right away?

In desperation, he turned to Luo Jinxiu for help.

At this moment, Han Mingrui also saw the people inside the house.

“Miss Luo?” He frowned, then looked at Qiwei, his expression shifting from rage to deep incomprehension.

Han Mingrui knew of the famous Luo family of Rongcheng. The main members of the Luo family were all prominent figures, and Han Mingrui had naturally heard of them and seen them in news reports.
