Prepare for flight

  The man's gloomy face suddenly revealed a smile, his Adam's apple rolled as he slightly opened his thin lips... still only two words, but said exceptionally clearly: "Still..."

  "That... that's good..." Guan Yanhong's small hands clenched tightly around the handbag, her palms slightly sweaty.

  "Yan Hong... you called me, do you know what that means?" Tang Xiao's voice was extremely calm... calmly contrasting with the turmoil in his heart.

  Guan Yan's heart skipped a beat.

  Yan Hong, remember my phone number... when you dial this number, it means you're ready to pay back your debt.

  She opened her mouth but it was as if something was blocking her throat and she couldn't make a sound.

  Tang Xiao had known from the start that if Guan Yanrou called this number one day, she must have something to ask of him and not be prepared to repay her debt. Tang Xiao hadn't planned on making Guan Yanrou repay her debt from the beginning either.

  "What can I help with? Where?"

  Guan Yan's hand holding the phone tightened again, without saying a word... He already understood his own meaning.

  Was it wrong for her to look for Tang Xiao? Guan Yanxi asked herself...

  After listening to Guan Yan's answer, Tang Xiao hung up the phone and stood still with a smile on his lips, keeping the phone by his ear.

  Those deep pupils were full of turbulent waves, and at that moment... he almost couldn't sit still, with all the blood in his body rushing from his eardrums to the top of his head.

  Guan Yan Hong...... you finally called me! Do you know how many years I've been waiting?... Eight years!

  The man who was making a report stood still, unsure of what to do next. All the directors and senior management in the conference room looked towards Tang Xiao's direction.

  The secretary hastily whispered in Tang Xiao's ear: "Boss?"

  "Get the plane ready." Tang Xiao put down the phone word by word.

  "Yes!" The assistant nodded immediately.

  A glimmer of coldness flashed in his pupils as he glanced at his watch and said to the man who was reporting, "You have three more minutes."

  In these eight years, many things have changed... Tang Xiao has already immigrated to Switzerland and changed his name, the company's headquarters is in New York... His hotels are all over the world.

  Tang Xiao is now... not in Jin City, but in New York, in Manhattan, where it's absolutely impossible to be lonely even at midnight.

  Thousands of skyscrapers shine all night as the night falls, and Tang Xiao's headquarters is surrounded by those dazzling lights and luxury. He stands at the top of this city.

  A thousand dividing lines

  That day, after Guan Yanrou had finished saying what she needed Tang Xiao's help with over the phone... Tang Xiao didn't say anything and just hung up.

  Does this mean... Tang Xiao agreed or refused?

  Guan Yanzhi didn't know.

  It's almost three months now, and there's no news at all... It seems that Tang Xiao doesn't plan to help after all.
