Chapter 75 - You need to leave him alone (1/2)

As they were walking out of the sparring room, Kai Xin's phone rang.

When DX gave her the phone back, it was almost dead and so, she had totally forgotten about it.

Glancing at the encrypted number, she knew exactly who her caller could be : Ghost.

She excused herself from DX to answer the call. Before the caller can say anything, she snarled, "How dare-"

"It's me."

Kai Xin frowned and glanced at the number before putting the phone back to her ear, "Phantom?"

"Something's wrong with him."

"What now? Is he dead?"

"I don't know. He was-"

The line got cut off mid-sentence. Kai Xin glanced down and noticed that her phone was dead.

Even though he nearly got her into trouble, she cannot help but be worried about Ghost.

Phantom would never help Ghost to prank her. For him to call, something serious had happened.

She sighed. Despite what he did, she had always had a soft spot for him.

"DX..." She went to DX and told him that she had to leave to meet her friends.

DX nodded and offered to send her but she declined the offer.

"Since Han Ye was away and cannot filter your emails for you, you must have lots of emails to go through. Don't worry about me. I will call an Uber."

She was right. He did have a lot of things to go through before the meeting with the Board of Directors tomorrow.

However, he was still worried about her. The sparring session earlier was meant for her to practice and to get rid of her frustration.

He knew that even if she did not show it, she was still affected by what happened.

Sensing it, Kai Xin hugged him. She glanced up and reassured him, "Really! I'm fine now!"

....

Once he saw Kai Xin entered the car, he turned and headed back into Callum's room. The smile on his face was gone by the time he opened the door.

When he saw the freshly showered Callum who had a pack of cold peas on his groin as he played a game on his computer, he frowned, "You better eat those peas yourself."

"Fuck off."

DX sat on the couch next to the computer station and he was back to his serious mode when he asked curtly, "Anything?"

Callum glanced at him from "He's at the safe house. By the way..."

He passed him some files before explaining, "We couldn't find any video feed of Shangguan Xing attacking or carrying your Kara into the room."

He pulled up a photo of Shangguan Xing, "In fact, the last video feed on him was when he turned into the hallway. Oddly enough, the last video feed on your Kara was when she went back into the mansion."

As he flipped through the files, DX asked, "Any idea?"

"I checked back all the recordings and found that at the time of his disappearance at 7.27pm and her disappearance at 9.35pm, someone hacked into our security camera and changed the live feed to a previously recorded video feed. It was for a short period of time. 4 minutes 35 seconds worth of previously recorded video to be exact."

DX frowned as he listened to Callum. The Du Mansion's cyber security was built by the best team in the world.

To hack it without being sense by anyone, this person must be someone skillful. DX turned to Callum and told him curtly.

"Call Han Ye."

.....

Kai Xin stopped the Uber few blocks away from her home before taking a normal cab to AVENGE.

The first thing she saw when she went up the hidden pathway was a figure dead asleep on the couch and another sitting near him on the wheelchair.

"What happened?"

Phantom looked up. He looked haggard as he explained,

"I don't know. He came back drunk and smelly last night. I thought he was feeling guilty over what he put you through and left him alone, but when I checked on him this morning, he was hyperventilating and his temperature was rising."

Kai Xin went over to check Ghost's temperature, "Fuck! He's having a high fever!"

"What should we do?"

Kai Xin frowned at Phantom's stupid question, "What do you mean by what should we do? Take him to a doctor of course!"

Phantom stopped her from getting Ghost up. When she glared at him, he explained, "He cannot go to the hospital. There would be a record."

She snapped, "Then what? Let him be?"

Just then, Ghost mumbled something and the two leaned down to listen, "N-No hos-hospital. Smell."

Kai Xin growled in frustration. This guy hated hospital.

"Fine. We won't dump your dumb ass at the hospital."

She turned to Phantom and asked, "Phantom, can you please get me some warm water and a clean towel?"
