Hearing this, Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes. “Why do you say that?”

Xie Wensheng pursed his lips and looked sideways at the servant.

The servant who received the signal hurriedly went forward and replied, “Master, the things prepared for Madam have been delivered. Do you want to take a look now?”

The intention of changing the topic was obvious.

Xie Wensheng smiled. “Already? Alright, let’s go take a look.”

Xie Xuan, who was sitting sideways, stared at his father as he walked up to the second floor. Since last night, he had been talking in riddles.

“I’m not his real target.”

So who was the real target?

Other than his mother, who else in the world would his father take a fall for?

Two days later, at four o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Haiqiao called Wu Sancai.

Zhou Nuo’s interview was over. Next was Mr. Sancai.

She planned to arrange a time to meet. Other than an interview, she mainly wanted to catch up.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. Just as Lu Haiqiao moved the phone away and was about to redial, a woman’s voice came out of the receiver. “Yes?”

Lu Haiqiao immediately moved the phone back. “Is Mr. Sancai there?” As soon as she said that, Lu Haiqiao felt that something was wrong.

She had just called Mr. Sancai’s cell phone. Why did a woman answer it?

The woman hesitated for a few seconds before answering hurriedly, “I’m sorry, you dialed the wrong number.”

With that, the call was cut off.

After taking a look at the call log and confirming that the number was correct, Lu Haiqiao called again.

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later…”

Unavailable?

She tried a few times in a row, but the call couldn’t get through.

She remembered that other than the part-time workers who came to the house to clean from nine to eleven in the morning, Mr. Sancai would stay at home alone if he didn’t go out the rest of the time.

Could something have happened?

It wasn’t impossible.

If he was alone at home, no one would know what would happen.

The more Lu Haiqiao thought about it, the more worried she became. Just as she was about to visit Wu Sancai, her phone suddenly vibrated.

The words “Mr. Sancai” jumped on the screen.

She picked it up immediately.

“Haiqiao, did you call me?”

Hearing Wu Sancai’s voice, Lu Haiqiao finally calmed down.

“Sir, are you alright?”

Wu Sancai paused for two seconds before chuckling. “I’m fine. Everything’s fine. What can happen to me, silly girl?”

He sounded a little out of breath, but on the whole, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

After some thought, Lu Haiqiao went straight to the point and asked, “Then why did a woman answer the call just now?” 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

“A woman? What woman? There was no woman. My cleaner went back after eleven o’clock. There’s no woman…”

Two rhetorical questions. Something was wrong.

Lu Haiqiao said without batting an eyelid, “I see. Maybe I dialed the wrong number.”

Wu Sancai didn’t linger on this topic. “By the way, Haiqiao, why are you looking for me?”

Lu Haiqiao said, “It’s nothing much. I just wanted to ask when you’re free. I want to have some tea with you.”

“Tea?” Wu Sancai said hesitantly, “How about another day? I don’t really want to go out these days. It’s too hot. I’m old and can’t take it.”

Lu Haiqiao played along. “It’s okay. If you don’t want to go out, I’ll visit you. Anyway, you have top-notch tea sets. The tea brewed won’t taste worse than the teahouse outside..”
