The phone connected quickly, and Ouyang Xiong lowered his voice, unleashing a torrent of curses at Old Zhao.
"What the hell are you doing, Zhao Feng Gou? You treat my daughter like this, and then come back and throw a fit? I swear I'll kill you!"
"What good does cursing me do? How was I supposed to know that girl would make such a scene? I’ve already owed quite a few favors just to keep this under wraps."
"I don’t care how many favors you owe! Just give me Hua Diao Mao's number. I'll go deal with him myself!"
Old Zhao sighed heavily. "Do you think I want to give it to you? My son is still in his daughter's hands! I can't just hand it over. He really would cut off the Zhao family line."
Ouyang Xiong's voice grew louder, completely forgetting why he was hiding in this room to make the call. "To hell with that! Your son's life matters, but my daughter's doesn't? Are you going to give it to me or not? If not, I’ll grab a weapon and come over right now!"
Old Zhao didn’t immediately retaliate, knowing that Hua Yu Yan was causing this uproar for Zhao Lun’s sake.
"Damn it, I didn’t know anything about this either! That bastard Hua Diao Mao only mentioned that his daughter would stir up some trouble in Lake City; he didn’t say anything else! How was I supposed to know that girl would even use a bomb?"
"You’ve always had dealings with Hua Diao Mao and have a good relationship. You better help me out with this, or it won’t end well."
"Help you out? How am I supposed to do that? Should I go grab Hua Yu Yan for you? Do you think Hua Diao Mao wouldn’t send troops to your eastern district within ten minutes?"
"Let them come! Am I afraid of him? Does he really think my people are pushovers?"
The two continued their heated exchange for ten minutes before finally concluding to pretend to send someone to find Hua Yu Yan. They would then tell Ouyang Zhirou that Hua Yu Yan had taken Zhao Lun back to Magic City and that they wouldn’t be able to find them for a while. They hoped to buy some time, placing all their hopes on me returning soon; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to keep this under wraps.
As soon as the call ended, there was an urgent knocking at my door.
"Who is it?"
Having just endured a scolding from Ouyang Xiong, Old Zhao was seething with anger.
Opening the door revealed Hu Yao leaning against the doorframe, panting heavily. "Old Zhao, it's bad! Zhao Lun has been taken by someone from Hua Yu Yan!"
Old Zhao pulled Hu Yao inside and tossed him a bottle of mineral water.
"Calm down! Why are you running so fast? If you die in my house, your dad will really kill me."
Old Zhao looked at Hu Yao with an air of calmness, seemingly unconcerned about what Hu Yao had just said.
Hu Yao took the water and gulped it down in one go. "Old Zhao, Zhao Lun has been taken!"
Old Zhao leisurely lit a cigarette. "So what if he’s been taken? I know about this matter. That girl wouldn’t harm that brat. Oh right, during this time, you should avoid Ouyang Zhirou and Lin Mu Xi; don’t let anything slip."
Hu Yao couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief at this situation. What on earth was going on?
By the way, where is Lin Mu Xi? She must have gone home to ask her family for help. Old Zhao took a puff of his cigarette and then stubbed it out in the ashtray. Sigh, it is what it is; that troublesome girl is really a handful.
On the other hand, as soon as Lin Mu Xi got home, she called Lin Tian and instructed him to immediately send out all available staff from the mall to search tirelessly at every highway exit, high-speed rail station, and airport for any sign of Hua Yu Yan.
Lin Tian didn’t ask any questions; he simply replied with an acknowledgment. While this might seem minor compared to Ouyang Zhirou's capabilities, it was the best she could muster. As for Lake City, that would have to be left to Ouyang Zhirou and Hu Yao.
