Not long after, Tian Jingtao also returned home.
His face was extremely tired.
He had gone to the hospital.
As Lin Xiao and the others had said, he was indeed sick. The doctor had advised him to reduce his conjugal encounters in the coming days and had emphasized the need for a long-term, stable partner, which made the implication very clear.
Then, Huahua had broken up with him.
He had only managed to hook up with that girl for less than a week!
Moreover, due to school commitments, he had only been intimate with Huahua twice, yet he had spent over a hundred thousand on her. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had been ripped off.
"That wicked woman, does she really think she can just walk away so easily?" He flipped through his transfer records. There were transfers of thousands of yuan each, with the exception of a special transfer of 1314, and all others were in whole numbers.
Since this woman had treated him as a fool, he wouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
With that thought, he made a phone call.
"Officer Wang, could you do me a favor..."
After a while, his call ended. He prepared the necessary items, his expression grim.
He was too lazy to say anything more to Huahua.
Then, he began to contact the other party, the person he had arranged to do the tailing.
However, as soon as the call was connected and he uttered a single sentence, he realized something was wrong.
The person answering the phone was not the one he had arranged.
It was a different voice.
"Don't rush to hang up, unless you want to make your crime even worse."
The voice was quite explicit.
But, Tian Jingtao instinctively hung up the phone.
What was going on?!
He sat on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water to calm his nerves, and then immediately pulled out the SIM card from his mobile phone, crushed it with pliers, and threw it into the trash.
Even though he didn't know who the other party was, he was certain it wasn't the person he had arranged. And the way they spoke immediately made him think of the police.
The person he had arranged had been caught.
Fortunately, when he contacted those people, he had used a burner phone number he had specially purchased. These numbers were all black market numbers he had acquired before, and none of them had any real identity information attached.
Being caught meant that the person he had arranged had failed.
What useless trash!
To fail at tailing someone so simply?!
He then calmed down. The police probably wouldn't be able to track him. The call had been too brief, not enough time to locate him.
Besides, that person was an experienced professional; they shouldn't have exposed him through their contact methods.
Taking a deep breath, he frowned. It seemed Lin Xiao was quite capable, otherwise the experienced operative he had hired wouldn't have been caught so easily.
He wondered if they were discovered, or if they were counter-attacked while in action.
These guys…
Were they all from families specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Were people from TCM families all skilled fighters?
As he mused, he walked to the villa's balcony. His gaze fixed on the building not far away where Ming Yi and the others lived.
At this time, only Uncle Qi had returned to the villa.
To be precise, he had been forced to return.
Ming Yi and Shi Yiling had made it perfectly clear to him that they wanted "some alone time."
Could he refuse?
So, Ning Fengzhi had very straightforwardly taken a taxi back... He decided that he absolutely had to find his true love!
