Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (56)
Chapter 56 Lost Contact
Xia Liang calmed down, suppressed his racing thoughts due to nightmares, and answered the call.
”Xiao Liang,” Xia’s father’s voice came over the phone, “the problems of several branches in the United States have been solved, and the debt problems left before have been evened.”
”Really?” Although Xia Liang already knew the result, he still smiled in agreement, “That’s a good thing, Dad.”
However, Father Xia’s voice sounded a little worried: “I heard from the person in charge of the branch that it was the Nelson family who secretly helped me… Xiaoliang, tell me honestly, is it you and someone from the Nelson family…”
Xia’s father said halfway and did not continue. Xia Liang knew what he was worried about, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: “I do have some contacts with people in their family, but the contacts are not deep. This time, the other party is just a little effort.” That’s all.”
”There is no free lunch in the world,” Xia’s father said: “Even if it is something that is easy for others, they will not give you such a favor for no reason.” Xia’s father paused and asked tentatively: ” Xiaoliang, you didn’t sign any unequal deal, right?”
”How could it be?” Xia Liang laughed, “I am sensible, don’t worry. If there is no big problem in the United States, you can come back early. Grandma misses you very much.”
Xia’s father breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xia Liang a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After Xia Liang managed to cope with Xia’s father, he found that the blood vessels in his brain were still pulsing. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and put his hand on his temples.
Then, a pair of hands covered the back of his hands, taking over from him and gently rubbing his temples.
”Thank you.” Xia Liang could feel Zhou Shuo’s familiar scent without opening his eyes, which made his tense body relax a little.
”Is everything okay over there in the United States?” Zhou Shuo asked in a low voice.
”It should be… for the time being…” Xia Liang said halfway. His thoughts went from the phone call just now to Ying Mohua, and from Ying Mohua to the nightmare that was interrupted midway. His expression suddenly changed, and he picked up the phone and started to dial number.
”What’s wrong?” Zhou Shuo was confused by his surprise.
”I dreamed about Gu Yuexuan,” Xia Liang said while looking through his address book, “I saw a knife in his hand.”
Zhou Shuo’s face suddenly became serious. After the previous events, he also vaguely knew that Xia Liang’s talents and skills usually appeared in his dreams, and they were not good things.
”Who does he want to assassinate?” Zhou Shuo asked
”I didn’t see it clearly,” Xia Liang shook his head, “and was interrupted by a phone call.”
Zhou Shuo suddenly felt a trace of resentment towards Xia’s father’s phone call when he appeared at an untimely time.
Just listen to Xia Liang say: “I’m afraid he’s going after Li Mo. Last time he attempted to commit suicide, and later he was fired by his old club. I’m worried that this time he’ll be pushed into a trap… …”
As he spoke, he pulled out Li Mo’s number, but the phone kept ringing until it hung up automatically, and no one answered.
”Something must have happened…” Xia Liang’s heart was in a state of confusion, and she was a little distracted for a moment while holding her phone.
”Don’t worry,” Zhou Shuo held his hand and said, “I’ll find someone to confirm first.”
As he spoke, he stood up and dialed the phone, exchanged a few words with the other party, and then hung up the phone. He didn’t look relaxed.
Xia Liang asked: “How is it?”
”Ji Qin is still filming,” Zhou Shuo said. “The assistant who answered the phone was the assistant who kept his cell phone. He said that Brother Mo’s scene had just finished filming and he had gone to the lounge to take off his makeup. But he went to the lounge to take a look. Those who didn’t see Brother Mo only found his mobile phone on the sofa…”
Before Xia Liang could react, he quickly dialed another phone number. This time, before the other party said a few words, Zhou Shuo’s expression suddenly changed and his tone of voice suddenly became sharp.
Xia Liang’s heart was hanging in the air. Before Zhou Shuo hung up the phone, he asked anxiously: “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Zhou Shuo hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then said: “The two bodyguards who were following Brother Mo left their posts without authorization while Brother Mo was filming. Unexpectedly, Brother Mo left the film early today. When they came back, they had already found him. There are no more Mexican people.”
After hearing this, Xia Liang lifted the quilt and got out of bed: “Hurry and call the police.”
”It’s not 24 hours now, the police may not file a case.” Zhou Shuo stepped forward and held down Xia Liang: “Brother Liang, don’t worry, this is my oversight. I’ll rush to City B right away. You wait here. I have news.”
Xia Liang knew that she was really powerless with her big belly, so she could only hold Zhou Shuo’s hand tightly and said: “We must find a way to find Li Mo as soon as possible. The other party brought a knife. He wants Li Mo’s life!”
”I understand.” Zhou Shuo knew that any words of comfort at this moment would be in vain. He quickly put on his coat, then called Wen Ping and asked him to come and take care of Xia Liang on his behalf.
At the same time, in a tea room in City B, Li Mo and Gu Yuexuan sat opposite each other, each in silence.
Gu Yuexuan was still wearing his peaked cap and sunglasses. The waiter who came in looked at him curiously and felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.
”How are you… lately?” Li Mo was the first to break the silence.
”It’s okay.” Gu Yuexuan replied briefly, as if he didn’t want to mention more about his current situation.
”The Internet has been speculating about which company you will sign next. To be honest, I am also a little curious.”
Gu Yuexuan tilted his face slightly and seemed to be looking at Li Mo with unknown meaning through his sunglasses, which made Li Mo feel uncomfortable.
But Li Mo knew that Gu Yuexuan wore sunglasses to avoid trouble. In such public places, once they were recognized, they would not be able to talk to each other properly.
Gu Yuexuan did not answer Li Mo’s question, but asked sarcastically: “After what happened last time, you still have the guts to meet with me alone?”
Li Mo lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said: “Before… we had too many misunderstandings. For some things, it’s hard to tell whether you owe me or I owe you. But I know that you owe me ……no offence.”
”Oh?” Gu Yuexuan’s face became even more sarcastic, “Aren’t you afraid that I will treat you again…”
”You can’t.” Li Moping interrupted him calmly.
Gu Yuexuan looked at him silently for a moment, and the tight corners of his mouth gradually relaxed.
”You…” He suddenly leaned back and sighed.
”You want to say that I haven’t grown up, are you?” Li Mo smiled knowingly, “Actually, I also know the importance of some things. For example, I don’t have no worries when I come out to see you this time, but I want to bet “One,” he looked straight at Gu Yuexuan, “bet on the last bit of love between you and me.”
