Chapter 901: What I Want Is For You To Thoroughly Loathe Her

"What did it say!"

Li Xiao stood up from his chair almost immediately, reached out to take the phone, and hurriedly opened it.

Immediately after, he saw a message that had been sent less than two minutes ago.

【Are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you? If you want to save her, do as I say.】

A short sentence, revealing no information, nor specifically stating what he was to do.

The other party seemed to be deliberately trying to torture Li Xiao's state of mind, merely casting out a fishhook.

If Li Xiao wanted to obtain more information, he had no other way but to investigate or wait.

"Shura, I have checked that number; it is indeed a virtual number, and there is no way to trace the source anymore. We are now..."

He stopped halfway through, not continuing to speak.

This kind of waiting, for anyone, was an unbearable torment.

On the other side—

Luo Wanwan returned to her room alone and immediately took out her phone to make a call.

As soon as it connected, she rebuked in a gloomy tone: "How are the investigations going! I want to know Linke's whereabouts in the shortest time possible!"

"We..."

The person on the other end of the line seemed startled by her, stuttering for two seconds before hurriedly replying: "We have already found some leads, but they haven't been confirmed yet. Once the specific location is confirmed, we will... we will report to you immediately..."

"Hurry up! I am only giving you one day! Otherwise, you will all suffer the consequences!"

Luo Wanwan finished speaking crossly and hung up the phone directly, yet she felt restless.

Must be fast...

She had to be fast!

If that madman Linke dared to touch Li Xiao even once, she would take his life!

A full day.

Li Xiao did not receive any more messages.

He stayed in the study the entire time, not having a drop of water, waiting for news that he did not know when would arrive.

Evening—

Luo Wanwan carried dinner and knocked open the study door.

"Li Xiao, please eat at least a little something..."

As she spoke, she placed the tray in her hand onto the table.

"I'm not hungry, take it away."

Li Xiao did not even look, his tone chillingly indifferent.

Not having found Cai Xiaotang's whereabouts yet had suppressed his entire mood to the extreme.

"Li Xiao..."

Luo Wanwan wanted to persuade him further.

Li Xiao interrupted her directly: "I said take it away."

His tone was colder than it had ever been, as if nothing other than Cai Xiaotang was worth his concern or attention.

Luo Wanwan's movements stiffened, a flash of unwillingness crossing her eyes, and hatred surging in her heart.

Yet she obediently replied: "Alright, since you don't want to eat, I will take it away first..."

Li Xiao did not respond, as if he hadn't heard her words.

Luo Wanwan left the study, and the moment she closed the door, the smile that had been on her face vanished instantly!

That Cai Xiaotang was truly a bane!

She could not be kept for long!

But she couldn't get rid of her just yet...

What she wanted was to completely excise her from Li Xiao's heart!

And there was also the matter of the ski resort from before...

She had learned from Lao Wu that Li Xiao was already secretly having people investigate the "traitor" matter.

Although he hadn't said anything, it was impossible for him not to suspect her at all.

It was just that, out of their past relationship, he wouldn't say it explicitly.

She had to take the initiative to do something to dispel Li Xiao's suspicions of her!

It just wasn't the right time yet...

Luo Wanwan calculated rapidly in her mind, a cold sneer appearing on her lips, and turned to leave.

The next day—

Early in the morning, Luo Wanwan finally waited for the call she had been longing for.

Her subordinate explained Linke's address and the situation they had monitored in detail.

Luo Wanwan was finally satisfied; she hung up the phone and quickly performed some operations on it.

Looking at the address and the surrounding environment displayed on the screen, she then dialed another number.

She immediately ordered the person on the other end: "Everyone enter standby status, be ready to act at any time."

With that short sentence, she tossed the phone aside, carefully pulled the door open a crack, and listened to the movement outside.

It had already been a day...

No matter how much Linke wanted to play, the time was about right.

Li Xiao should have received his message by now as well...

The study.

Li Xiao had indeed already received the message.

It still contained only a single, brief line of content.

【You have two hours; come alone to save the person, otherwise...】

The other party had deliberately left the message unfinished, attaching an address that looked somewhat unfamiliar at the end.

It seemed to be a villa over in the development zone.

Li Xiao stood up immediately and strode out the door.

Ten minutes later, everyone had assembled in the living room.

"Shura, about Shadow Fiend..."

Lao Wu suddenly asked in a low voice.

"I have already notified them."

Li Xiao replied in a low voice, performing a final equipment check.

Shadow Fiend was the code name Mu Liusu used within the Dark Gate.

Very quickly, everyone was fully armed and ready to set off.

Li Xiao confirmed everything one last time, and just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Luo Wanwan walking down the stairs out of the corner of his eye.

Immediately after, he heard—

"Li Xiao, where are you all going? Have you found Cai Xiaotang's whereabouts?"

Luo Wanwan asked, feigning concern.

"Mm."

Li Xiao responded casually, his gaze sweeping quickly over Luo Wanwan before he suddenly said, "Be careful while you are home alone; we are not sure when we will be back."

"You are all going?"

Luo Wanwan was stunned upon hearing this; this time, she was genuinely surprised.

She had originally thought that if Li Xiao suspected her, he would at least leave someone behind.

But she had not expected that he would be so at ease leaving her alone here.

That is perfect... it will be much more convenient for her to take action!

Just as Luo Wanwan was thinking this, she saw Li Xiao turn and leave directly.

"Wanwan, wait for us to return."

Lao Wu gave Luo Wanwan one last instruction before turning to follow him out.

Outside the room, Li Xiao and Laoqi got into the same car with great tacit understanding, and subconsciously glanced back in the direction of the villa.

Li Xiao's study had confidential documents and surveillance devices installed year-round, so he was not worried about Luo Wanwan rummaging through them.

It was just that...

The monitoring equipment in Laoqi's room was still running.

If Luo Wanwan made contact with the mysterious phone call again while they were out, then her suspicion would not be so easily cleared!

"Let's go."

Li Xiao took one last look at the direction of the villa and withdrew his gaze.

Inside the room—

Luo Wanwan stood by the window, watching the cars drive away, and gently opened the window, a curve forming at the corners of her lips.

Even if there was no one here... she could not afford to let her guard down.

As long as she dealt with Linke before they did, and then found an opportunity to "accidentally" reveal the fact that she was the one who saved Cai Xiaotang...

Then Cai Xiaotang would surely feel very uncomfortable, right?

When that time came, she did not believe she would still be able to endure it!

As long as she kept causing trouble, then...

Li Xiao hating her completely... would not be far off.
