Chapter 118 Grandpa is shocked

"The second young master is back! The young master is back too!" The servant rushed into the room.

Wei Xuanming is talking on the phone with an old friend.

The old friend said on the other end: "We have deployed our troops on the periphery, but unfortunately the commanding heights have been occupied by Komnenos' men. If we really want to fight, we will still need some manpower."

Wei Xuanming said, "It doesn't matter."

"I heard that another person died on the island today. We don't know his identity, and we're still investigating..."

Wei Xuanming paused for a moment, "Really? How did he die?"

The old man had just said this when he was interrupted by the servant's shouting.

"What? Who? Who's back?" Wei Xuanming turned his head and asked in a deep voice before hanging up the phone.

The servant leaned on his knees and took a breath, without waiting for the last word to be said again.

Wei Wenqing pushed his brother in.

Wei Wenjun was dressed sloppily.

Wei Wenqing was even more outrageous - he was dressed in colorful clothes with his chest exposed, like a rich second-generation rich man who had just come from a party.

Wei Xuanming thought he had seen it wrong.

Didn't he almost lose control of his emotions when he called me the day before? How come he came back the moment he turned around and was dressed so... "festive"?

Wei Xuanming almost thought that his youngest son had been possessed by another spirit.

"What's wrong? Don't worry! It may not be those two guys in your family." Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the old friend on the other end of the phone couldn't help but persuade him quickly.

Wei Xuanming was pulled back from his shock by the voice and said to his old friend, "Sorry, our plan can be temporarily suspended. I'll call you back later."

After he finished speaking, he handed the phone to the servant beside him, and the first thing he asked was: "Where's the duckling?"

"Still on the island." It was Wei Wenjun who answered.

They didn't even have time to change their clothes before they rushed over to see the old man.

After hearing this, Wei Xuanming didn't think his son had taken his words to heart.

He asked coldly: "Are you angry with me?"

Wei Wenjun frowned: "No."

"I told you not to save people impulsively, but you just left the duckling on the island. Isn't this just a show of anger?" Wei Xuanming asked.

Wei Wenjun sneered and exhaled, saying: "You don't have the ability to influence Wen Qing and me. It was Young Master Sheng who persuaded us to come back. He said that Xiaoya is safe..."

Wei Xuanming stopped getting angry. He held the armrest of the chair and asked, "Will the Sheng family allow him to get involved? Is he going to save the duck?"

"I heard that the second young master and the others are back!" Wei Lin's voice rang out outside the door, coming from far away and getting closer. In a blink of an eye, the person was in front of him.

He took two breaths and said, "That's great. As soon as I heard about it, I came back immediately..." After Wei Lin finished speaking, he turned around and his eyes lingered on Wei Wenqing's dress.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

But no one paid any attention to Wei Lin.

Wei Wenjun went on to say: "Things are a bit strange."

"What's the meaning?"

"Komnenos treats the little duck..." Wei Wenjuan took a breath. Although he didn't want to say it, he still said, "He is very good to the little duck."

Wei Xuanming:?

Wei Lin: ???

Is there something wrong with their brains? Or is there something wrong with his ears?

"So it's a good thing that we're back." Wei Wenjun mentioned it briefly, with no intention of explaining it in detail in front of Wei Lin.

Wei Lin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the second young master and the young master are now so relieved about the young lady's situation."

"Then you can relax." Wei Lin looked at the old man.

Wei Xuanming just felt that there was something weird about this matter.

We need to send some people to the island to see who else is helping in secret...

Also, Young Master Sheng’s hands are stretching further and further, so it’s actually very easy to stop him from reaching out.

We just need to let the Sheng family know how dangerous the situation on the island is this time, what kind of lunatic Komnenos is, and that there are many enemies of the Gui family like Komnenos...

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so the Sheng family naturally would not be happy for their son to play with her!

Wei Lin lowered his head, still thinking about his strategy.

At this time, the maid came over again with the phone.

"Your phone number." The servant swallowed, "The person on the other end calls himself Komnenos."

Wei Lin was worried and blurted out, "Could it be that he has discovered the identity of the young lady and is holding her to threaten us?"

Wei Xuanming glanced at them calmly and majestically, then took the phone with one hand.

"Hello, I'm Wei Xuanming. What's the matter? Do you want to seek justice for your missing shipload of cargo?" The old man spoke in English.

Of course he wouldn't expose his own weaknesses, so he had to continue pretending that he knew nothing.

"Hello." The voice coming from the other end was Chinese.

A childish, female voice.

Wei Xuanming's heart tightened and he felt dizzy.

Is that the sound of the duckling?

"Have you had dinner?" The voice from the other end sounded again, still childish and soft.

It was familiar, definitely Li Xiaoya’s voice!

It wasn’t “Grandpa, save me” or “Grandpa, I’m scared”... but just asking him casually, “Has he had dinner?”

Wei Xuanming took the phone and asked the servant beside him: "Are you sure it was Komnenos who called?"

The servant was stunned and said, "That's what the other party calls himself, that's right."

They all came back from abroad together, so their English level is certainly not bad, and they even know a little Italian and French.

On the other end of the phone.

Komnenos was also asking Li Xiaoya: "What did you say to him?"

Li Xiaoya translated, "There is an insult in China: 'You are full and bored'. I asked him if he was full."

Komnenos looked at Secretary Wang and asked, "Is there such a curse word?"

Secretary Wang smiled and nodded.

At this time, Wei Xuanming took a breath, picked up the phone, and didn't dare to call Li Xiaoya's name. He just said, "Not yet."

Li Xiaoya asked again: "Are your two sons okay?"

Komnenos asked the king's secretary what this meant.

Secretary Wang almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He lowered his head slightly to hide his expression and said, "She said exactly what the kidnapper said when he called her."

Komnenos raised an eyebrow: "That's a threat."

If a stranger came up and asked if your son was okay, it would indeed sound like a threat, and the second sentence should be "your son is in my hands."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Li Xiaoya continued, "I wonder if they brought back the things they were supposed to bring?"

The old man couldn't hide his turbulent emotions and said in a deep voice, "No."

Failed to bring the duckling back.

“You should ask them.”

"...Okay, I'll ask." The old man said with a complicated expression.

"What are you talking about?"

"Let the old man ask his two good sons."

Komnenos sneered. "We should ask them how they became such cowards. The old man is a hardliner and will surely be furious."

Komnenos snatched the receiver from Li Xiaoya and cursed a few dirty words in English at the other end, saying that you idiots, why are you hiding? Sooner or later, a gun will be shoved into your ass.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Wei Xuanming on the other end: “…………”

It was a rare occasion when he wasn't irritated by Komnenos's rude and overbearing style.

Now it can be confirmed that the call was indeed from Komnenos.

Wei Wenjun didn't lie either.

He was not angry.

The duckling was indeed safe, even safe to the point of being a little... unbelievable.

Wei Xuanming suddenly asked Wei Lin and his two sons: "How is Xiaoya learning English?"

"I haven't quite kept up with the school's teaching progress." The speaker was Wei Lin.

Wei Xuanming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Lin:?

Why are you still relieved?

Wei Xuanming thought that was good, then he wouldn’t understand Komnenos’s dirty words.

Komnenos turned to Secretary Wang and said, "Tell her not to use her phone to translate what she just said."
