Tan Xiu had only bought a mobile phone after winning money playing slot machines in the Health and Prosper Club. Therefore, there were very few people who knew Tan Xiu's mobile phone number.
In addition to Yuan Chuling, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others, Long Zhenglin had also learned Tan Xiu's mobile phone number from Yuan Chuling. These people's names were also saved by Tan Xiu in his mobile phone.
However, apart from Yuan Chuling, there were also two completely unfamiliar mobile phone numbers that called Tan Xiu. Moreover, these two mobile phone numbers actually called Tan Xiu's mobile phone number seventeen times.
Among them, the least number of calls to Tan Xiu's mobile phone number was three times, and the highest number of calls to Tan Xiu's mobile phone number was as many as fourteen times. Tan Xiu naturally did not think that these two people had called the wrong number.
"In just one day, how could there be more than sixty phone calls to me? Did something happen?" Tan Xiu's heart sank, and then he prepared to call Yuan Chuling's phone number.
Because among the missed calls, Yuan Chuling had called Tan Xiu's number the most. He had actually called Tan Xiu's number fifty times.
However, before Tan Xiu's number had finished dialing, his mobile phone rang. Seeing the caller ID Yuan Chuling, his face could not help but reveal a knowing smile, and he quickly pressed the answer button.
"Boss, you are finally willing to answer the phone. During this time, I was almost driven crazy by Miss Han. After you left the school that day, Miss Han chased after you..."
After the phone was connected, without waiting for Tan Xiu to say anything, Yuan Chuling could not wait to narrate the matter.
However, as Tan Xiu listened, he felt that something was wrong. He had clearly left the school for a day, so how could Yuan Chuling say that he had not been to school for a long time?
Puzzled, Tan Xiu glanced at the time on the phone, and then his eyes instantly widened because the date shown on the phone was ten days after he entered the villa.
"I accidentally entered a state of epiphany. No wonder my strength increased so quickly." Thinking about how much his strength had increased this time, Tan Xiu finally understood what was going on.
"Fatty, aside from Miss Han looking for me, there shouldn't be anything else, right?" Tang Xiu couldn't help but furrow his brows and interrupt Yuan Chuling's words. Seeing that Yuan Chuling was chattering for a long time without mentioning anything important, Tang Xiu couldn't help but frown and interrupt him.
"Miss Han wanted to tell Auntie that you skipped school, but I stopped her. I told her that Auntie's health isn't good, and that Auntie likes you very much. Once Auntie finds out that you skipped school and didn't come home, Auntie will definitely be worried sick and hospitalized."
"More importantly, I have repeatedly assured Miss Han that you are going out to study, and that there is no danger to your life, nor will it affect your grades."
"…"
Ten days ago, although Tan Xiu handed Han Qingwu a leave of absence, saying that he wanted to take leave for about half a month, Han Qingwu was obviously unwilling to approve it. It was just that Han Qingwu didn't react for a moment, so Tan Xiu slipped away.
Han Qingwu chased after Tan Xiu to the classroom but didn't see him. She couldn't help but chase after him to the school gate, but in the end, she still couldn't see Tan Xiu. She could only helplessly return to the year group office, also weighing in her heart how to deal with this matter.
Unexpectedly, when she was in class in the afternoon, Han Qingwu heard that there was a car accident on the pedestrian street not far from the school. It seemed that the person who was scratched was Tan Xiu. Although she didn't hear that anyone was killed, Han Qingwu's heart was still hanging in the air. She did not hesitate to find Yuan Chuling and asked Yuan Chuling to contact Tan Xiu.
However, after Tan Xiu bought a mobile phone, in order to avoid being disturbed, he directly set the mobile phone to silent mode. Therefore, unless Tan Xiu was playing with the mobile phone and saw a call coming in, he basically couldn't answer the phone. As a result, Han Qingwu and Yuan Chuling called Tan Xiu more than a dozen times, but no one answered the phone.
Although Tan Xiu's mobile phone was not answered, Tan Xiu's mobile phone was always turned on. This also made Han Qingwu and Yuan Chuling feel relieved. The mobile phone was not turned off, at least it could prove that he was safe.
In the case that the phone could not be reached, Han Qingwu was still worried. Then, she followed the family contact address left by Tan Xiu to find Su Lingyun.
Because Yuan Chuling had given her a warning in advance, Han Qingwu was particularly cautious when chatting with Su Lingyun. She did not reveal that Tan Xiu had skipped class, but more about Tan Xiu's family situation. At the same time, she reported the good news of Tan Xiu's improvement to Su Lingyun.
"Fatty, thank you." After listening to Yuan Chuling's words, Tan Xiu finally knew how much trouble he had caused to Yuan Chuling and Han Qingwu by disappearing for ten days. He was sincerely grateful.
"Boss, we are brothers. Saying this is too polite. But then again, if you hadn't come back, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. " On the other end of the phone, Yuan Chuling smiled and said indifferently. Then, he added, "Boss, if it's convenient, you'd better call Miss Han. She hasn't been eating or drinking because of you. She's been absent-minded in class, and she has become a lot more haggard."
"Got it. I'll call Miss Han now." Tan Xiu was still hesitating about whether to tell Han Qingwu that he was safe. After hearing Yuan Chuling's reminder, he instantly made up his mind.
After hanging up Yuan Chuling's phone call, Tan Xiu immediately dialed the phone number that had called his cell phone 14 times. Although Tan Xiu did not know who this phone number belonged to, he had a faint feeling that this number must be Han Qingwu's.
"Hello." After the phone call was connected, there was the unique voice of a Jiangnan woman. It was soft and especially pleasant to listen to.
After hearing Han Qingwu's voice, Tan Xiu did not know what to say.
"Tan Xiu, are you Tan Xiu? You left school without saying a word, and I didn't see you go home. Where did you go? If you don't think for yourself, think for your mother … "
There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then there was Han Qingwu's roar of resentment.
After Han Qingwu unconsciously said hello, she found that there was something wrong on the other end of the phone. She immediately looked at the phone number, and then she knew the identity of the owner of the phone on the other end.
Poor Tan Xiu had stuck the phone to his ear to listen because he was nervous. As a result, his ears were numb from the vibration.
Hearing the familiar complaint, Tan Xiu was not angry. Instead, there was a happy smile on his face.
Although Han Qingwu's voice was loud, and she was criticizing Tan Xiu, her words revealed her care and love for Tan Xiu. This feeling made Tan Xiu enjoy it very much.
At first, Tan Xiu tried to explain, but when he found that he did not have a chance to interrupt, he simply closed his mouth and listened to Han Qingwu.
"Hey, are you Tan Xiu? Are you still there? Why aren't you saying anything?" Han Qingwu spoke for a long time before she realized that she was the one talking from the beginning to the end. There was no sound from the other end of the phone. Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure. At the same time, she was worried that she had called the wrong number.
Hearing Han Qingwu's words, Tan Xiu almost laughed out loud. He could almost imagine Han Qingwu's nervous look at this time.
"Miss Han, it's me. I'm sorry, I've been busy studying recently. I put my phone on silent mode and didn't hear the phone ring. "Tan Xiu did not laugh at Han Qingwu, but explained patiently.
"You … How can you be so disorganized and undisciplined? You even dared to threaten the teacher that you would transfer if he didn't approve your leave. Where did you learn all these bad habits?" When Han Qingwu heard Tan Xiu's calm explanation, she almost couldn't catch her breath. Just when she was about to curse, she suddenly remembered what Su Lingyun said when she visited Tan Xiu's home, and her heart softened again.
Feeling the softness and powerlessness in Han Qingwu's words, the softest part of Tan Xiu's heart was inadvertently touched.
"Miss Han, don't be angry. Being angry is bad for your health. It's not worth it." After a moment of silence, Tan Xiu deliberately teased.
"Why don't you go to hell!" As soon as Tan Xiu's words fell, Han Qingwu, who was trying hard to control her emotions, finally exploded. She roared at the phone and then hung up the phone.
"That's right." Seeing that Han Qingwu had returned to her normal state, Tan Xiu also felt relieved and immediately dialed the last number.
"Excuse me, are you Grandmaster Tang? My Master is at the gambling table and temporarily can't answer the phone. However, my Master has encountered a little trouble in Jingmen Island and wants to ask Grandmaster Tang for help. I don't know if it's convenient for Grandmaster Tang to come over. If Grandmaster Tang agrees, I will immediately book a ticket for Grandmaster Tang and arrange a shuttle."
After the call was connected, before Tan Xiu had the time to ask the identity of the other party, the other side of the phone respectfully greeted Tan Xiu and then excitedly told the whole story.
Obviously, the other party had been waiting for Tan Xiu's call for a long time. Moreover, the other party had indeed encountered a huge trouble. Otherwise, the other party would have given Tan Xiu the opportunity to speak and finished everything in one breath.
"Who is your Master?" Tan Xiu suspected that the other party had called the wrong number, but he didn't immediately hang up the phone. Instead, he couldn't help but ask.
"Uh … My Master is Jia Ruidao. Ten days ago, my Master had made a bet with you at the Long's Dining Hall. After Master returned home, he told us about your situation, so we all know of your existence. Three days ago, Master fell into a predicament. If he can't solve this predicament, not only will he lose everything, but his life may also be in danger. I ask Grandmaster Tang to help my Master. "The other side of the phone froze for a moment and then eagerly asked for help.
"I'm sorry, I think you might have found the wrong person. Although I have made a bet with Grandmaster Jia, but my gambling skill is not even one ten-thousandth of Grandmaster Jia's. If even Grandmaster Jia can't solve the problem, then I certainly can't help. "After understanding the whole story, Tan Xiu hung up the phone without hesitation.
Although he had dealt with Jia Ruidao at the Long's Dining Hall and admired the other party's attainments in gambling, but Tan Xiu didn't think that he had a deep friendship with Jia Ruidao.
More importantly, Tan Xiu didn't like gambling. Moreover, he hated gambling from the bottom of his heart. If it wasn't because he was forced by money, Tan Xiu wouldn't have entered the Health and Prosper Club, nor would he have agreed to help Long Zhenglin to make a bet with Jia Ruidao.
