It was already nine o 'clock at night when he returned home. Gao Peng's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from the construction company.
"Hello, is this Mr. Gao?"
The tone on the other side of the phone was a little different than a few days ago.
Gao Peng replied, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Gao, do you have time now? There are some difficulties in cleaning up the villa and we need you to come over personally. "The person on the other side of the phone said.
"What kind of trouble?" It was a little late and Gao Peng did not want to go out. "Just say it."
The person on the other side of the phone paused for a moment and continued, "We found some mutated plants in the villa and we have encountered some difficulties in developing it. If we don't clean up these mutated plants, we can't continue to repair it. However, if we want to clean up the plants, we will need to demolish part of the building. So, we hope you can come over so that we can continue with the next step of the work. If you don't come, we won't dare to demolish it."
Gao Peng did not reply and frowned. It was already dark outside, but he had classes tomorrow and it would be about six or seven o 'clock after class. "Okay, I'll come over later."
When he was about to leave, Gao Peng suddenly stopped in his tracks. Why did he feel that something was wrong?
Why would the construction company call him so late? Gao Peng thought as he walked out. When he reached downstairs, Gao Peng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Which construction company would still be working at nine o 'clock at night?
Working overtime at nine o 'clock at night? That's too hardworking.
His reputation was really big …
The most important thing was that his villa was located in the suburbs and there were very few people there. When Gao Peng got there by car, it was almost ten o 'clock. Gao Peng had to be careful.
After thinking for a while, Gao Peng picked up the phone again and dialed the number.
The phone rang for a dozen times before it was picked up. "Mr. Gao." A respectful voice came from the other side.
Gao Peng smiled. "Manager Li, it's too late today. How about tomorrow? Let the workers rest tonight. If there's any delay, I'll pay for it."
The person on the other side of the phone fell into a short silence and then spoke again. "Okay, it's really late now. I won't bother Mr. Gao."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Gao Peng silently put away his phone.
At the same time, at the villa in the suburbs, a few figures stood there. One of them had his hands tied and looked anxious. His forehead was full of sweat. He said helplessly, "Brothers, I really did my best. I can't do anything if he doesn't come. I can't force him to come."
Beside him stood a young man in a white suit. The young man's hair was combed into a 30-70 parting. His most distinctive feature was his eyebrows. One of his eyebrows seemed to have been bitten off and was missing a part.
"I didn't expect that kid to be so cunning. It seems that he has sensed that something is wrong." A smile appeared on the face of the young man in the white suit. "It seems that he won't be coming tonight."
At this moment, the phone in the hand of a bald man beside him suddenly vibrated and rang.
The bald man glanced at the phone screen. On the screen was a picture of a woman in her thirties. There were two words written on it — Wife.
"Dr. Jiang, this guy's family is calling him," the bald man said to the young man in the white suit.
When the man heard that his wife was calling him, his expression became complicated. He said anxiously, "Brother, I usually go home at this time. If I don't answer the phone, she will definitely be suspicious."
Dr. Jiang glanced at the man. "Answer it. But you should know what to say and what not to say. If I find out that you dare to secretly say something like you going to see your deceased uncle, I will make your whole family go see your uncle," Dr. Jiang said lightly. His tone was flat, but the words he said made the man's back feel cold.
His uncle had just passed away the year before last. These people had investigated him.
He didn't know how much information these people had investigated, so he didn't dare to play any tricks. He casually made up a lie.
"It seems that our time is limited. To be honest, if we can solve the task simply, I really don't want to use such a crude method. After all, we are civilized people." After saying that, Dr. Jiang covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
"To be honest, no one would have thought that Ji Hanwu actually has a grandson who is still alive. If it wasn't for someone secretly telling me this news, we might have thought that he had no family left."
"If the news that Ji Hanwu's grandson is still alive gets out, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to secretly eliminate this threat," Dr. Jiang said meaningfully. "After all, Ji Hanwu has no family. He will eventually grow old, but his grandson … is still young."
Wealth moved people's hearts. The Southern Sky Group had now grown into a colossus. There were many high-level forces, and everyone had their own ideas.
"Uh, brother, you mean to kill … Gao Peng? But why don't we do it directly? " Another man in black casual clothes with a buzz cut frowned. If it was just to kill Gao Peng, why did they have to do something so unnecessary? They could just go to him and do it directly.
"Ji Hanwu spent so much effort to protect and hide his grandson. He must be very concerned about his safety. There must be someone protecting him in the dark. If we do it directly … it's easy for accidents to happen. If Ji Hanwu is alerted, it will be troublesome." When he said the last sentence, a hint of fear appeared in Dr. Jiang's eyes.
"Of course, the most important thing is, who said I was going to kill his grandson?" Dr. Jiang was speechless.
"I just want to see the kid that I've never met before. What good will it do us to kill him? Do you think that we are qualified to fight for the power of the Southern Sky Group? "Dr. Jiang couldn't help but laugh.
"If we kill his only grandson, what awaits us is Ji Hanwu's wrath. The first to die will be us, and the final winners will only be those who are qualified to fight for that position." Dr. Jiang put his hands behind his back.
"Brother, I still don't understand." The buzz cut man shook his head.
Dr. Jiang let out a long sigh. It was too tiring to talk to these idiots.
"You don't need to know the specific reasons. You only need to know that Gao Peng's identity is our bargaining chip, the bargaining chip to trade with Ji Hanwu. Moreover, I am really interested in that kid. I heard that he is a monster breeder genius. Unfortunately, it seems that we won't be able to meet him."
There was a deeper reason that Professor Jiang didn't mention. The research institute he was in wasn't one of the top research institutes in the Southern Sky Group. Not to mention, other than the research institute, there were also security agencies and so on. Therefore, even if the only successor of the Southern Sky Group died, the position wouldn't be his. Therefore, he came here with the intention of gathering information in advance.
Dr. Jiang smiled faintly and looked up at the sky. "It's almost time. Ji Hanwu's people should be here."
The trapped man's face turned pale. He had heard so much information that he shouldn't have. The word "kill" kept echoing in his mind.
Professor Jiang glanced at him and snapped his fingers.
A black and white butterfly flew out from his white suit. Previously, the butterfly had stayed on the chest of his suit, looking like a lifelike embroidery.
The butterfly circled the top of the man's head twice, sprinkling some white powder. The man fainted on the spot after absorbing it.
Boom, boom, boom, a terrifying shadow streaked across the sky, dragging out a long sonic boom.
