within Temptation

Chapter 47 is not as simple as imagined

The phone rang three times and was finally connected. Tang Xiaoru's voice seemed to be deliberately lowered: "Hey, what's the matter? What else can I do?"

I immediately said: "Mr. Tang, I just saw a few hooligans who crashed into your car and blackmailed you outside La Fangshe. They were standing next to your car, as if they were waiting for you."

"What? Really?"

Tang Xiaoru's tone also seemed surprised, as if she didn't expect those hooligans to find her so quickly.I said anxiously: "It's true, I will never be wrong. Mr. Tang, I think it's better to call the police? These hooligans clearly want to take revenge on you, and they won't leave easily."

Tang Xiaoru was silent for a while on the phone, as if thinking about what to do?I waited for a few seconds, and suddenly heard Zhang Wen's laughter from the phone, and said, "Xiao Ru, what are you doing? You answer every call so mysteriously, did that Mr. Dai call you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I... I'm on business. Wenwen, talk to Mr. Liu slowly, I'll go outside and make a call."

A few seconds later, Tang Xiaoru seemed to have come to a place where no one was around, and said to me again: "Don't call the police, I don't want to disturb my friend's blind date because of this incident."

I said, "What if you don't call the police? What if they've been waiting here, why don't you come out?"

"No, just not now. Oh, I see, it's them. Oops, they're destroying my tires."

I was stunned, and immediately poked my head out, and sure enough, besides the two hooligans I saw just now, a third hooligan also appeared at this moment.He just straightened up, as if he had been bending over to do something next to Tang Xiaoru's car.Immediately, my eyes lifted, and I glanced at the row of windows on the second floor of La Fonche.At last one of the farthest windows was seen, and a woman's figure was leaning against the window looking down.

Needless to say, it must be Tang Xiaoru.I hurriedly said: "Hey, don't stand there, be careful that these hooligans see you!"

"It's okay, my car is parked here, and they can guess that I'm in it. It's just that this is a public place, so they dare not come up to trouble me. Well... I guess they want to destroy my car at most and get out of it for a while." Tone, in public, forgive them for not daring to do anything to me. Forget it, one thing more is worse than one thing less. If they leave after getting angry, then don’t call the police.”

I began to feel that Tang Xiaoru was too negotiable and her character was too weak.Others are destroying her car, how can they hold back this breath?

I tried to remind Tang Xiaoru, and continued to persuade her: "Mr. Tang, I wonder if you have thought about it? You are willing to let them go, but these hooligans may not be willing to let you go. Even if they leave after a while, how do you know they won't?" Hiding in the dark waiting for you to appear? Yes, no matter how courageous the hooligans are in public, they really dare not do anything to you. But can you prevent them from following you after you come out? If they follow you to your home, Then how will you escape the schemes or extortions of gangsters in the future? They can find you at any time, and you will never want to get rid of them!"

There was silence on the phone. After a while, Tang Xiaoru sighed softly and said, "Dai Yong, I really don't want to call the police. Because... I have my thoughts and reasons. Where are you now? Why can't I see you ?”

I said, "I'm right behind the signboard at the bus stop here. Mr. Tang, I don't understand. If you call the police and let the police catch them, you can solve this matter completely. Is there any reason why you are so worried and hesitant? Don't you want to interrupt your friend's blind date? How come? At worst, you can find a reason to go first. She has a blind date with her, and we will handle this matter together, and both sides will be right, won't it be fine? "

"...Dai Yong, there are some things that I can't tell you. But believe me, I really have a reason. But... I want to ask you to do me a favor, may I?"

I said, "Of course, Mr. Tang, tell me."

"Well, thank you! If... these hooligans leave later, I want you to follow them quietly? I want to know where they went after they left, or who to meet. By the way, your mobile phone has Is there a camera function? Ideally, a picture of where they go or who they meet. That's important to me, okay?"

I was stunned. From Tang Xiaoru's words, I felt that this matter was by no means as simple as I imagined.Could it be that Tang Xiaoru thinks this is not an ordinary extortion incident, but a premeditated criminal act instigated by someone?
However, since this is the case, won't everything be clear at the first trial if the police catch them?Why do you have to go to such trouble and have to find evidence yourself?

I don't know what Tang Xiaoru is thinking, but she is my boss, so I naturally want to help her.So I said: "Mr. Tang, I can follow them, but my phone... doesn't have a camera function, I'm afraid..."

"Is that so? Then... let me think about it. Um... How about this, I will let a waiter quietly deliver my mobile phone to you, and you use my mobile phone to take pictures of what I want. After a while, How about I go to the mall across the street to buy a new phone and call you?"

It had to be like this, my mobile phone is an old-fashioned black and white screen, and there is no camera function at all.I said: "Okay, better hurry up, if those hooligans leave first, it will be too late."

"Well, I'll find someone to send it right away."

Putting down my mobile phone, I saw that those hooligans were still messing with Tang Xiaoru's car, and they seemed to be destroying something again.Thinking about Tang Xiaoru's words, I also felt suspicious.When I was fighting those three hooligans that day, I felt that they were targeting Tang Xiaoru. Although they were fighting me, they just wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible and then deal with their business.Tang Xiaoru was about to drive away, but a few hooligans tried desperately to stop her.It was just an attempted extortion. It seems that there is no need to work so hard, right?
Could it be that someone really wanted to murder Tang Xiaoru? These seemingly simple crimes were planned and premeditated?
