Shi Lei took out his phone and immediately called Wei Xingyue. The bad hunch he felt before appeared again except it was from shame that Shi Lei didn’t pay attention to Wei Xingyue at that time. He thought that no one could harm a family like the Wei family.
Wei Qing already knew the answer when he saw Shi Lei’s action. He shook his head, “Don’t bother. If it says not available, then I believe it works for you. However, when I called Wei Xingyue in Wudong, her phone was always turned off.”
Of course, Shi Lei didn’t stop calling because of what Wei Qing said. It wasn’t long before he heard a familiar voice over the phone.
Of course, it wasn’t Wei Xingyue’s voice. It was just the voice system.
Wei Xingyue’s phone was turned off!
“Something happened to the Wei family?” Shi Lei looked at Wei Qing in disbelief. His eyes reddened that instant and at this moment, he finally understood that he and Wei Xingyue were no longer friends from ages ago. They were way more intimate than just friends.
Wei Qing still shook his head, “I don’t know. I found and asked so many people but none of them knew. This is why it is so strange; Wei Xingyue couldn’t have possibly disappeared without a reason. It must be because the Wei family is in danger. But for a gigantic family like the Wei, how can they possibly encounter a danger without a sound?”
Shi Lei’s heart was filled with distraught and he was no longer calm. But he understood that he shouldn’t panic before figuring out what was happening. If something really happened to the Wei family, he couldn’t think of anyone else who could help them other than himself in the world. Not that Shi Lei was almighty, but because Shi Lei had something called the Black Card in his hands.
The cognition that the Black Card gave Shi Lei was omnipotent.
Not to mention that they simply couldn’t contact Wei Xingyue. Perhaps his father sent her to somewhere without reception or perhaps Wei Ye couldn’t stand Wei Xingyue’s relationship with him and grounded her. Of course, Shi Lei knew that these two possibilities were extremely low and he was merely comforting himself.
But the unsettling feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Even if Shi Lei had already drank three or four glasses of alcohol, he still couldn’t suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
No, he had to do something. He needed to at least confirm Wei Xingyue’s safety.
Shi Lei didn’t have to care about others in the Wei family, but he had to care about Wei Xingyue!
“Do you have Wei Ye’s number?” Shi Lei’s eyes were bloodshot like a trapped beast.
Wei Qing laughed sorrowfully, “Please, I’m only a second generation. How can I possibly have the number of someone like Wei Ye.”
“You have Yu Banzhi’s, right?”
Wei Qing nodded, “I think that Yu Banzhi will tell you Wei Ye’s number. However, I’m worried about whether or not Wei Ye will let you finish your sentence even if the call connected, especially during a time like this.”
“He will!” Shi Lei nodded certainly as he stood up again and picked up the phone on the table to call Yu Banzhi.
……
At Wudong city next to the river, Yu Banzhi stood on top of Suojiang building and faced the roaring waves alone. He watched the dim lights of the ships pass by occasionally and listened to the low and distant sounds of the whistles.
When his phone rang, he placed the tea cup in his hands down. He picked it up and smiled, “As expected, he called.”
“Little Shi, it’s a bit late,” Yu Banzhi sounded unhurried.
Shi Lei suppressed the anxiousness in his heart and spoke as calmly as he could, “Brother Yu, I want to ask for Wei Ye’s number.”
Yu Banzhi was blank for a second. Wei Ye’s number? Shouldn’t this kid ask me whether something happened to the Wei family or not? Or did he not understand the seemingly random sentence I said that night in the car? Perhaps he only looked kind by nature. He had the fate, but he didn’t have the heart of the Buddha.
“Why do you need his number?”
“I need to contact him. Brother Yu, I know that you have it.”
Yu Banzhi paused and decided to remind Shi Lei again, “You know that you can just ask me.”
Shi Lei spoke word by word, “If something happened to Wei family, Brother Yu, you must be a part of it. If I ask you, I might as well not. I need to ask Wei Ye myself!”
Yu Banzhi froze at his words. After a while, he exploded into laughter, “Hahaha, such a stone, such a beautiful jade. I thought that you ignored the hints I gave you before, but you thought way more than what I hinted you. Fine, I will send you Wei Ye’s number.” With that, Yu Banzhi hung up.
Yu Banzhi held the phone but didn’t send Wei Ye’s number to Shi Lei immediately. Rather, he glanced at the other side of the bank of the river. He could see nothing in the dark night, but Yu Banzhi knew that there was a small forest on the other side of the bank. Outside the forest, there were a few broken factory houses.
“Not that he doesn’t have the heart of the Buddha, but he realised the intentions of the Buddha. Alright, Chen Yanv told me to accept you as my disciple. I was unwilling because I’d rather treat you as a child. But today, Shi Lei, Shi Lei, you made me change my mind. Well, I’ll accept you as my disciple.”
……
Shi Lei waited for a long time before receiving Yu Banzhi’s message. There was only a phone number. He did not send a single word.
Shi Lei immediately clicked on the number and called.
Du…
Du du…
After the third time, Shi Lei heard Wei Ye’s voice which he heard before again.
“Which old friend is calling at this hour?” Wei Ye sounded indifferent as if he wasn’t affected by anything unusual. Shi Lei wasn’t a hundred percent sure that something happened to the Wei family before he called Yu Banzhi, but now, there was no question about it.
Shi Lei couldn’t help but admire Wei Ye. As expected of someone who stood on the top of the world; there were no wind or rain that could make him panic.
Except it was a shame that Wei Ye’s history of developing the family wasn’t something glorious for a powerful and fierce person.
And now, while he was losing his powers, he left his strength behind like a tower that fell but maintained its foundation.
“Wei Ye, I am Shi Lei,” Shi Lei spoke lightly into the phone. Under Wei Ye’s influence, Shi Lei calmed down unexpectedly.
He held the phone and walked slowly towards the front door of the hotel. He walked out and stood in the chilly wind as he waited for Wei Ye’s response.
When Wei Ye heard Shi Lei say his name “Wei Ye”, he already recognised Shi Lei through his voice saying those two characters alone.
He only had a short conversation with Shi Lei. Shi Lei didn’t speak much at that time. He only told Wei Ye that his level was higher than Wei Ye’s. Wei Ye understood this as he knew that Shi Lei was on the VIP list in the Eye of the Dark Night with higher level than him. It was a warning for Wei Ye to stop probing Shi Lei. Even if Shi Lei didn’t react to it, the Eye of the Dark Night definitely wouldn’t allow a low level client to investigate a higher level client, especially if the information was related to the organisation itself.
Wei Ye only said, “Treat Xingyue well” indifferently and nothing else.
Because of that sentence, Wei Ye who had met many people already remembered Shi Lei’s voice. However, he didn’t expect Shi Lei to call him at this time.
“Haha, it’s you. Sorry, I won’t tell you where Xingyue is. But you can rest assured; she’s fine.”
Wei Ye smiled.
