132: Chapter 132 Something Happened

Ring-a-ling~ The phone rang.

Zhang Shan and Gu Nan both picked up their phones.

"Holy crap, Otter, are you secretly in love with me? How do you have the exact same ringtone as me?"

"This is the default system ringtone, okay? I'm just too lazy to change it. Don't be so narcissistic."

Watching the two elementary schoolers about to bicker again, Xia Wei really wanted to slap them both.

"Stop arguing! Answer the phone! Quit fooling around! You two are so old, why are you still acting like children?"

The two who were roasted didn't dare to speak. They both checked their phones.

"It's not my call," Gu Nan said with a bad attitude. It seemed his popularity wasn't great. No one was calling him. Hmph~

Seeing Gu Nan's moronic expression, Zhang Shan and Xia Wei didn't want to say anything more.

Zhang Shan answered the phone. Upon hearing the report from the person on the other end, his expression couldn't help but change. It seemed he didn't need the strongman to pass him information anymore.

"What's wrong? Why is your expression so ugly? What happened?" Xia Wei looked at Zhang Shan's grim expression. She subconsciously felt that something must have happened to Secretary Xu. But she was also afraid to hear the news.

"Listen to me slowly, don't rush. Just stay here and focus on reviewing the official documents. Let me and Otter handle the other matters, okay?"

In truth, it wasn't that Zhang Shan wanted to deliberately hide it from Xia Wei. He knew about the bond between Xia Wei and Secretary Xu. So, to avoid making her worry, it was better not to tell her.

"Robinson, don't think about keeping things from me. If you tell me, I can handle it. If you don't tell me, I'll just be here letting my imagination run wild, which is very painful."

Seeing Zhang Shan hesitating, she knew her intuition was definitely right. Secretary Xu was in trouble.

"Did something happen to Secretary Xu?"

Zhang Shan nodded helplessly. As expected, nothing could fool this clever woman.

An hour ago.

Secretary Xu was busy with work when her father suddenly called. He said her mother had suddenly fallen ill. At first, she didn't believe it because when she went to work this morning, her mother was perfectly fine. How could she suddenly fall ill? Besides, her mother had no underlying medical history. However, out of filial piety, she still asked Xia Wei for leave to go home.

But halfway there, her father suddenly called and told her to go to the Marriott Hotel. She asked her father for the reason. Her father's reply was that it was closer to the hospital, so he asked her to come directly there.

Secretary Xu was a grateful child. Furthermore, since it was her closest kin calling, she didn't think too much and went straight there.

In fact, Secretary Xu was a bit confused. After all, the Marriott Hotel was still some distance from the hospital. Why wouldn't her father stay at a hotel near the hospital?

Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the Marriott Hotel.

Secretary Xu looked at the large logo. Without thinking too much, she paid the taxi driver and walked inside.

Just as Secretary Xu was about to call her father to ask which room he was in, a voice suddenly cut in from the side.

"What a coincidence, Secretary Xu. To think we would meet here. It's really such a coincidence. I'm really happy to see you."

Secretary Xu looked up, and her expression suddenly changed. Because this person was none other than the one who went to cause trouble this morning.

"A coincidence? It's not a coincidence at all. And I'm not happy to see you. Please don't greet me. I don't want others to think I know you, okay? It's beneath my status."

Secretary Xu had level ten trash-talking skills. Although this man looked refined, anyone who could come to cause trouble couldn't be a good person. Besides, birds of a feather flock together. Their master was that kind of jerk, so he definitely couldn't be any better.

"Oh my, it seems Secretary Xu has quite a temper today. Would you like me to get you a bottle of Wanglaoji to cool you down?"

The refined-looking man acted as if he hadn't heard her sarcastic words and feigned concern for Secretary Xu.

"None of your business!" Short and brutal.

"Secretary Xu, this behavior is hardly becoming of a lady. Looking at how you're in such a rush, you must have come here for someone."

Secretary Xu didn't say a word and lifted her foot to leave.

"Secretary Xu, you're making this really difficult for me. After all, there is a person named Xu Mao here with me. If I were to accidentally hurt him, that wouldn't be good, would it?"

The refined-looking man chuckled. He scanned the woman. Her figure was really quite nice; it wouldn't be bad if he could get his hands on her. If today's matter succeeded, he could suggest it to Mr. Zheng and let himself enjoy it too.

When Secretary Xu heard him mention her father's name, her expression changed.

"How do you know my father's name? What have you done to him? I'm telling you, if he loses a single hair, I won't let you off."

Secretary Xu couldn't understand it. Wasn't her mother sick? Weren't they supposed to go to the hospital? How could they get involved with Mr. Zheng's group?

"Sigh, it's quite a coincidence. Today, on our way to the hospital, your father's car accidentally scratched Young Master Zheng's car. You know that Young Master Zheng's cars are all luxury vehicles. Although Young Master Zheng was generous enough to waive part of the repair costs, there are still some repair costs that you need to cover. But your father couldn't pay, so I invited him here. Oh, right, your mother is here too."

The refined-looking man said indifferently.

"My mother is sick, don't go too far."

When Secretary Xu heard this news, she felt like she was about to collapse. She felt that this was a trap. After all, Mr. Zheng had threatened her this morning. She felt that today's incident was a trap set for her, and she was their target.

Although at this moment, Secretary Xu had the urge to leave immediately, she thought about her father and mother being in their hands. She also remembered how well her parents treated her, and if she left now, she would be letting them down too much.

"What exactly do you want?"

Secretary Xu stared at The refined-looking man and said hatefully.

"Secretary Xu, don't be so anxious. If you want your parents to leave here safely, then please come with me." The refined-looking man revealed a smile and turned to walk toward the elevator.

Secretary Xu hesitated for a moment, but upon thinking of her parents, she followed resolutely.
