It was a strange number with no pattern at all.
Xia Sanghuan's eyes were fixed on the screen. She almost already knew the caller's purpose.
Using this untraceable number was simply to conceal their identities. It couldn't be traced or found.
Xia Sanghuan really couldn't remember when she had ever had an encounter with such people.
"Hello? Who's this?" She picked up the phone and walked towards the French window.
Before her eyes was a stretch of afternoon sunlight.
There was first a burst of static on the other end of the phone, followed by a mechanical voice: "We'll pay you 100 million US dollars to make a house call."
These two brief sentences completely summarized the caller's purpose this time.
Thinking of her unknown identity, Xia Sanghuan raised her eyebrows slightly.
She was a bit curious about how this mysterious benefactor had managed to find her.
She gave her reply, "I refuse to make a house call."
The other end quickly added, "If your treatment is successful, we'll give you an additional 200 million US dollars."
A total of 300 million US dollars for this house call. Such a huge reward must be an irresistible temptation for anyone.
Xia Sanghuan didn't hesitate for a moment. "I still stand by my previous words. I refuse."
After she said this, the other end wasn't surprised.
He said again, "If you're not satisfied with the price, we can keep raising it."
This operation of not caring about money really refreshed Xia Sanghuan's perception.
She was curious now. What kind of illness was it that was worth so much money?
"I'm not short of money, so I won't agree to any cooperation that uses money as a condition." Xia Sanghuan said.
The other side seemed to be in a difficult situation. Xia Sanghuan smiled and left the last sentence: "You'd better find someone else."
She pressed the hang - up button.
Not thinking much about this phone call, Xia Sanghuan returned to the bedside, rummaged through her bag and took out the wooden box. Just as she was about to open it for inspection,
Suddenly, she was interrupted by the beep of a text message on her phone.
Xia Sanghuan was immediately filled with anger. Looking at the message, it was from Leng Chuanjin.
He told her not to play any tricks and to take the spiritual treasure back immediately.
What did he take her for? Xia Sanghuan was speechless inside.
Feeling that the weight of the wooden box was the same, she didn't think much and immediately set off.
At the same time.
In the city - center garden behind the Fu family, unnoticed by anyone, there was a furtive figure in a corner grass - patch.
Xia Anying observed the surroundings. After making sure there was no one around, she carefully took out something from her bag.
A sly smile curved on her lips. Xia Anying looked at the rough "wood" in her hand. Although she couldn't make much of it, she was extremely proud.
Xia Sanghuan always pretended to be smart. But now, she didn't even notice that the thing in her bag had been swapped. It was enough to show how stupid she was!
Xia Anying lifted her chin slightly, feeling confident of victory.
She could already imagine that in a short time, Xia Sanghuan would be driven out of the Leng family. And she, as the greatest hero, would stay in the Leng family as the mistress.
This dreamy scene was broken by a sudden voice.
"Miss."
Unexpectedly, a man in a black suit suddenly appeared in front of her, scaring Xia Anying, who was completely off - guard.
"Who are you!" She instinctively took a step back. Looking at the man's fierce appearance, her calves were trembling.
The man was wearing sunglasses, so his whole face couldn't be seen clearly.
He smiled politely. "Miss, you don't need to be so scared. I just want to confirm something."
The master had sent them to guard around the Fu family recently. By chance, they met a sneaky person here. It must be related to that matter.
"What..." Xia Anying swallowed nervously. "What do you want to confirm?"
"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask if you've seen a thing called the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure?"
Hearing this, Xia Anying's eyes were in a mess. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the thing in her hand.
Such a small movement of hers naturally couldn't escape the man's eyes.
The man exuded a dangerous aura. "Miss, what's that in your hand?"
Xia Anying could hardly stand. She tremblingly supported the wall on one side. "It's nothing, nothing..."
The man didn't even give her a chance to speak. He made a gesture, and immediately black - clothed men rushed forward from behind.
Xia Anying's eyes widened instantly. She tried to run away immediately, but was subdued by those strong men.
She struggled and screamed.
"What are you doing! What you're doing is illegal..."
In the meantime, those black - clothed men had already snatched the spiritual treasure from her hand.
"Boss, look." Someone immediately presented the thing to the man.
The man excitedly took out the blueprint for comparison. "Yes, this is it!"
With several black - clothed men holding her down, Xia Anying didn't dare to make a sound.
The man slowly walked up to her. First, he told the black - clothed men to let go of her, and then he smiled politely at Xia Anying.
"Miss, you don't need to worry. We won't do anything to you."
Xia Anying took a step back. "What on earth are you going to do!"
She was already thinking about how to escape. These people looked like they were not easy to deal with.
"Don't be in a hurry. How about we make a proper deal?"
These words made Xia Anying stop what she was doing. She asked, "A deal?"
"Yes, it's the spiritual treasure just now. I'll buy it for 10,000 dollars. How about it?"
Hearing this huge amount, Xia Anying's face instantly changed.
She had never heard of such a large amount of money. How could that piece of broken wood be worth so much money!
The man could tell what was on Xia Anying's mind. He quickly said, "You won't get such a good chance again. Miss, think it over before you answer me."
His tone was full of temptation, but Xia Anying, who was completely excited, didn't notice at all.
She immediately nodded happily. "I agree to give that thing to you. You have to give me the money right away!"
Anyway, this thing belonged to Xia Sanghuan. She just happened to take this opportunity to transfer this piece of broken wood to someone else. In this way, no one would suspect her.
Getting 10,000 dollars without paying any price, only a fool would disagree.
The man waved to the people behind him, and immediately someone walked over carrying a big box.
"There's 10,000 dollars in cash in here. Miss, please take a look."
Opening the box, there was a pile of red banknotes. Xia Anying tried hard to hold back so as not to exclaim on the spot.
Having never seen so much cash before, she was smiling like a flower. Touching the real banknotes, she felt that the happiness at this moment was a bit unreal.
The man completed his task. Holding the spiritual treasure, he quickly left the park.
In a high - rise building in the city, the door of the high - level office was knocked.
Leng Qiuhua's hand movement paused slightly. "Come in."
He looked towards the door, confident.
The man walked in carrying the wooden box. "Mr. Leng, we successfully intercepted the Black - Bone Spiritual Treasure."
