C103 (1/2)

Jiang Liu'er and Yang Xiaotong were sitting at the table preparing to eat breakfast when Yang Xiaotong received a call. She looked at the caller ID and pressed the release button. Murong Xuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

”Xiaotong, I'm in trouble, can you help me?”

Murong Xuan's voice was trembling. Yang Xiaodong raised her head to look at Jiang Liu'er, who nodded and signaled for her to respond.

”What's wrong with you? Why do you speak like that?”

”Xiaotong, I did something wrong a while ago that caused a bunch of bad guys to stare at me. My dad wasn't here recently and I was afraid they would kill me.”

The voice Murong Xuan was afraid of on the phone wasn't an act. Jiang Liu'er was right when she told Murong Xuan earlier. Black Hand's people had already set their sights on Murong Xuan. Judging from Murong Xuan's current reaction, Black Hand's people must have already made some moves.

”Kill you? ”Impossible, why don't I help you call the police?”

”No way!” As soon as Yang Xiaotong said she was going to call the police, Murong Xuan insisted, ”No, no, if I call the police and let my dad know I did the wrong thing, he'll beat me to death.”

Yang Xiaotong was also a bit conflicted. If this couldn't do it, then what should she do? Jiang Liu'er whispered to her on the side, and Yang Xiaotong immediately reacted.

”Where are you right now? Why don't you come out and we'll talk face to face. I'll help you if there's any problems. Don't worry.”

Murong Xuan was very careful. ”No, I can't go out right now. We'll talk on the phone. You can help me. You can definitely help me.”

Yang Xiaodong felt that Murong Xuan's current state of mind was extremely unstable. Jiang Liu'er was right; they had to arrange for Mu Rong Xuan to meet him before they could settle these matters. We can also think of a better way to solve the problem.

I know you want me to help you and I want to help you too, but we can't explain anything clearly over the phone. How do you want me to help you?

It seemed like there was still a certain position in Murong Xuan's heart when he heard her words. Murong Xuan was also relieved. ”Okay, then I'll wait for you at the coffee shop I used to frequent. Xiaodong, you have to come. You have to help me.” He repeatedly confirmed that Yang had to show up at the coffee shop on time.

He hung up. Yang Xiaodong looked at Jiang Liu'er. ”How could this happen?” Although she no longer had anything to do with Murong Xuan, she was still worried about him due to her past relationship with him.

Jiang Liu'er explained everything to Yang Xiaodong. She also explained everything to Murong Xuan about buying antiques and disturbing the market economy.

”He …” Yang Xiaotong shook her head helplessly, ”From the time I met him, he had a feeling that there would never be an ancient consequence to his actions. But that time was still fine, because he took care of old man Mu Rong. I didn't expect that now …” After old mister Mu Rong became ill, no one paid any attention to him. He actually did such a thing. ”

”We don't need to worry about their family matters. I'll go with you later. Murong Xuan will definitely want your help. Leave this to me.”

”But, Murong Xuan was already irreconcilable with you. Will he ask you to help him?” Yang Xiaodong felt that Mu Rong Xuan wouldn't let Jiang Liu'er help him no matter what. This was the same as him slapping her in the face.

Jiang Liu'er shook her head, ”I don't know either. Let's just take things one step at a time. After all, we are classmates. I can't just let him go and let him throw away his life for nothing.”

Yang Xiaotong sighed. ”That's the only way. I hope he'll be taught a lesson this time. He'll think about the consequences if he does something in the future.”

The two of them agreed that they would go to the cafe, Yang Xiaodong, to find Murong Xuan, while Jiang Liu'er sat not far away. When Yang Xiaodong gave Jiang Liu'er the signal, Jiang Liu'er would come back, since Murong Xuan definitely didn't want to see Jiang Liu'er.

”Be careful.” Jiang Liu'er arranged a few sentences for Yang Xiaodong, and went in through the side door. She found a corner seat and sat down, looking at Yang Xiaodong from afar.

Yang Xiaodong had just opened the door and entered when she heard Murong Xuan's voice. She turned her head and saw Murong Xuan frowning and waving at her with a dejected look.

”Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for such a long time.”

Just sat down? Murong Xuan grumbled. ”It's not convenient for me to show my face right now. I was just thinking that if you don't come, I'll have to leave first.”

Yang Xiaodong nodded and comforted him, ”I know the situation now. I was a bit late due to being stuck in a traffic jam. Don't think too much. By the way, what happened, how did you end up like this?”
