708: Qingge, you are so weak. If you are blown away by the wind, I will be left without a wife.

At the same time.

Listening to the "beep, beep, beep" of the phone hanging up, Lin Xuan subconsciously felt a lot more at ease.

With Su Fan's current connections and influence, he would definitely be able to find out the whole story of the matter in the shortest possible time...

"With my big brother-in-law on the job, things will be much easier."

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief, but his inner vigilance did not relax.

He kept replaying everything that had happened recently in his mind, various clues intertwining.

Ultimately, all signs pointed in one direction—

The Huo Family! Especially Huo Qichen!!!

In the current situation, the Huo Family's hostility towards him was the most obvious, and their motive was also the greatest...

After a moment of thought, Lin Xuan decided to set off immediately to investigate the Huo Family.

If this matter was truly related to the Huo Family... then he wouldn't mind carrying out a humanitarian annihilation of the Huo Family, in the true physical sense...

uprooting them completely...

However, before that, he had to call Qingge first to confirm her safety...

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling—"

After dialing, there was only a monotonous beeping sound in the receiver, each beep like a heavy hammer striking Lin Xuan's heart.

Time passed second by second, but no one answered.

At this, Lin Xuan couldn't remain calm; his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, gradually becoming anxious.

The worry in his heart spread like a tide.

"Qingge, answer the phone..."

"Why aren't you answering? Pick up quickly..."

Lin Xuan murmured in a low voice, his brows tightly knit, his fingers unconsciously clenching his phone.

In his mind, various terrifying scenarios subconsciously appeared—

The girl being kidnapped, or having already encountered some accident...

Lin Xuan's heart sank abruptly, as if it was about to burst from his chest.

Just as he was almost unable to restrain himself and was about to rush home immediately, the call was finally answered!

Su Qingge's sweet voice came from the receiver, still gentle and pleasant, but subtly tinged with a hint of... panic, not easily detectable.

"Hello, A Xuan?"

This voice was like the warm sun in spring, instantly dispelling the gloom in Lin Xuan's heart.

He let out a long breath, and his anxious heart instantly calmed down.

But his tone still carried an unconcealable concern and urgency...

"Qingge, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? You had me worried sick!"

"Nothing happened on your end, did it?"

"Ah... I... I'm fine..." Su Qingge's voice was a bit hesitant, seemingly with a hint of guilt, "Sorry! I was just taking a shower and didn't hear my phone ring..."

Lin Xuan completely relaxed, and his tone unconsciously softened:

"Oh, I see! You scared me to death; I thought something had happened to you!"

"It's good that you're fine! By the way, where are you now? Are you at home?"

On the other end of the line, there was a brief moment of silence.

Then came Su Qingge's somewhat hesitant voice:

"I... I'm at home, why?"

Although he vaguely felt Su Qingge's tone was a bit strange,

but because he was worried about the Blackbelly Snake matter and eager to resolve the Huo Family's troubles as soon as possible... Lin Xuan didn't think much of it and said softly:

"Qingge, there are still some things to deal with at the company, so I might be back a little later."

"Wait for me at home, don't run around, okay?"

"Mm, okay..." On the other end of the phone, Su Qingge's voice seemed to relax, and her tone became gentle, "A Xuan, don't overwork yourself, take care of your health."

"I'll... wait for you at the doorstep when you come back..."

Lin Xuan smiled at her words, his tone carrying a hint of doting:

"Okay, I understand."

"Oh, and Qingge! I have a surprise for you later."

"A surprise?" A hint of curiosity and anticipation appeared in Su Qingge's voice, "What kind of surprise?"

"Buddha says: it cannot be spoken!"

"You'll know when I get home..."

Rubbing the ocean heart in his pocket, Lin Xuan smiled mysteriously, then urged again:

"Oh! You're delicate and frail; it's windy outside, and you'll easily catch a cold."

"Just wait for me at home; don't come out."

"You're so fragile; if you get blown away by the wind, what would I do? Wouldn't I be wifeless~~~~~"

Lin Xuan's tone carried a hint of teasing.

But more than that, it was concern and care for his wife.

Su Qingge chuckled at this, her voice as pleasant as a silver bell:

"Okay, I understand."

"Then A Xuan, come back early; I'll wait for you at home."

After chatting sweetly on the phone for a while and confirming Su Qingge was safe, Lin Xuan reluctantly hung up the phone...

But was it a hallucination?

Just before hanging up, Lin Xuan seemed to hear a "whimper," like someone whose mouth and nose were covered, struggling and whimpering for help...

"It must be a delusion..."

Lin Xuan thought this and didn't take it too seriously.

After all, there were more important matters waiting for him to handle next...
