As soon as the words were spoken, Kai suddenly let go of his hand and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
The moment Kai released his grip, a rush of fresh air suddenly filled the man's throat. He covered his neck and gasped for breath. It took him quite a while to regain his composure. "Boss, the child is in the count's hands..."
"This time when you came to the imperial capital, the count specifically instructed that once something happened to anyone, he would send the child away immediately..."
As the man went on, his voice grew softer and softer. He averted his eyes, not daring to meet Kai's gaze.
Kai shifted his line of sight and glanced at An Ya, who had just been put into the trunk. His hands, caked with dirt, clenched tightly into fists.
He had already lost An Ya. He couldn't afford to lose the child that belonged to the two of them.
But now that they were already in the imperial capital, it would be unmanly if he couldn't avenge An Ya!
Just then, the man who had just spoken opened his mouth again.
"Boss, regarding the matter of the madam... let's wait until we get back and settle her down, and then we can make further plans."
Hearing this, the hostility on Kai's body was significantly less than before.
He was right.
Although Kai was not Chinese, there was an old Chinese saying that when a person died, they should be buried in the ground for peace.
The most important thing at the moment was to let An Ya rest in peace.
Kai took another look at the basement where An Ya had been buried, then withdrew his gaze. "Return to the country."
...
As soon as Kai and his group left, Chen Yu'an received a call from Tan Si.
"Sir, it seems that there was a thief in Qingyuan."
Hearing this on the other end of the phone, Chen Yu'an's face suddenly changed.
"When did this happen?"
"It should have been early this morning. The construction workers said that the fence in one area had been deliberately damaged. I went there. It was the basement area. But nothing was stolen at the scene. It was just that the basement had been dug out."
As Tan Si spoke, the hand holding the phone tightened slightly, and his palm was full of fine sweat.
As soon as he received the notice this morning, he rushed to Qingyuan immediately. Looking at the dug - out basement, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He also roughly guessed what had happened, but he didn't dare to ask or verify.
Just as he was in a daze, Chen Yu'an's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is the basement... empty now?"
Chen Yu'an's question directly confirmed Tan Si's suspicion, and his face looked extremely ugly.
"... It's empty." He replied.
"I see." After saying that, Chen Yu'an hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Tan Si slowly took the phone away from his ear. Looking at the phone in his hand, his expression was rather complicated.
After Chen Yu'an hung up the phone, his face didn't look good either.
The body was buried deep in the basement. Only by deliberately digging could the body be found.
This group of people could accurately find the location of the basement and dig out and take away the body. Besides Kai... there couldn't be a second person who would do such a thing.
Kai had been quiet for so long, and finally he started to act.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu'an didn't waste any more time. He quickly dialed Chi Yu's phone number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
Chi Yu had just returned to Yuelan and was trying to figure out how to make Jiang Zhirou be more amiable towards him. When he saw Chen Yu'an's call, he was also holding back a grudge. He deliberately answered the phone at the last second.
"Kai has started to act. Protect her well."
Chen Yu'an didn't give Chi Yu a chance to speak. He got straight to the point and instructed Chi Yu.
Hearing this, Chi Yu stopped in his tracks, and his face became serious. "Is he in the imperial capital?"
If Kai was still in Country A, it definitely wouldn't be Chen Yu'an who got the news first.
Now that he got the news first and called to remind him, it must be that Kai had appeared in the imperial capital.
Chi Yu said into the phone, "What did he do?"
"I can't find his entry - exit records. I'm not sure if he's still in the imperial capital or has already returned to Country A. Anyway, protect her well."
Chen Yu'an didn't answer Chi Yu's question. He just told Chi Yu again to protect Jiang Zhirou well.
Seeing his evasive attitude, an inexplicable sense of uneasiness welled up in Chi Yu's heart.
"Chen Yu'an, what exactly did he do?"
Chi Yu had crossed swords with Kai before and knew what an extreme person he was. He subconsciously began to worry about Chen Yu'an.
"He took An Ya away."
Chen Yu'an didn't say whether the one taken away was dead or alive.
Hearing this on the other end of the phone, Chi Yu was stunned for a moment. "Are you okay?"
He just took the person away from Chen Yu'an's hands. Chi Yu couldn't help but think of the time when Chen Yu'an went to find An Ya and was almost beaten half to death by Kai's people.
Now the roles had been reversed, and it was Kai who came to snatch the person from Chen Yu'an.
"I'm fine. I just want you to be prepared in advance. He's not that easy to deal with. Bye."
Chi Yu was always smart. Chen Yu'an was worried that if they continued talking like this, Chi Yu would notice something. So he hung up the phone in a hurry.
As long as Jiang Zhirou stayed quietly in Yuelan, Kai wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Kai was the kind of person who, once he failed to achieve his goal, would turn on the people around him.
Chi Yu subconsciously thought of his parents who were still traveling abroad.
In China, there were always people following Chi Weiguo, so there would naturally be no problem. But now that the two of them were abroad, the situation was completely different.
If Kai wanted to take action, it would be a piece of cake.
Chi Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly dialed Jiang Shu's phone number.
The phone showed that it was turned off.
...
At the same time.
As soon as Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu stepped into the villa, someone came forward to greet them.
"Please hand over your phones."
Without the slightest hesitation, the two handed their phones to the man in front of them. They watched as the man scanned the phones with a machine and then directly turned them off.
After doing all this, the man made a gesture of invitation to Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu. "Please follow me. The master is waiting inside."
The three of them walked through the long corridor and circled around the yard several times. Finally, they stopped in front of a closed wooden door.
"Please wait a moment."
As the man said, he walked forward gently and slowly pushed open the wooden door. Then he nodded slightly to the two of them. "Please."
Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu walked into the room and immediately saw the man in a black robe sitting in the main seat.
Seeing the two enter the room, he slowly raised his head. His line of sight fell on them, and he calmly said,
"Commander Chi, Mrs. Chi, long time no see."
As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang Shu involuntarily tightened her grip on Chi Weiguo's hand.
Sensing her action, Chi Weiguo tightly held the woman's hand back and patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be at ease.
Then, he looked at the man not far away. A different kind of emotion flashed across his solemn face for a moment, and he nodded slightly at the man.
"Long time no see, Mr. Chen."
