School Beauty's Peerless Soldier Chapter 409 410 Eavesdropping

This visit was only to talk about money with Ke Bancheng, and this was already the lowest baseline Xu Fan was willing to tolerate.

What right did this woman have to haggle with him?

He glanced indifferently at the other party and stood up straight from the chair.

"Ke Bancheng, think carefully about who initiated this incident in the first place," Xu Fan said.

"I've already made my conditions. Whether you agree or not is up to you. Let's go."

If the fight continued, Xu Fan was confident he could make Ke Bancheng lose much more than just six billion.

Xu Fan glanced indifferently at Ke Bancheng and then led his n out of the private room.

...

"This is outrageous!"

After Xu Fan and his people had left, Ke Bancheng's wife, in a fury, began smashing the plates on the table.

Her expression was as angry as a wrathful demon.

"Wife, let it go. Our son's life is more important..."

Ke Bancheng looked at his wife fearfully and warned her cautiously.

"Do I not know that?"

The woman glared at Ke Bancheng and scolded, "My son is my flesh and blood; of course, I care!"

"Well then, that settles it..."

Ke Bancheng muttered dejectedly.

Now they were in Jinling where the influence of Lingyan Pavilion was imnse. No matter how wealthy he was in Shanghai, it was like trying to extinguish a fire from afar.

To get his son back alive, he had no choice but to comply with Xu Fan's demands.

"Hmph, useless fool..."

The woman scornfully insulted her husband's cowardly deanor.

Strangely, Ke Bancheng had no reaction to his wife's complaints.

"For our son's life, we have no other choice right now..."

"Go give them the money later."

They had already had a confrontation, and it was likely that Lingyan Pavilion wouldn't give them much more ti. For the sake of Ke Longxiang's life, the woman ultimately had to compromise.

Ke Bancheng nodded and replied, "Hmm, I'll have soone deal with this matter later."

"Hmph, once my son is back, I will not let that punk off easily!"

Suddenly, the woman's voice turned cold. Ke Bancheng lifted his head and saw his wife's dark expression, feeling a trace of dread.

"Wife... what... what are you planning to do?"

"What are you afraid of?"

The woman stared down her fearful husband.

At that mont, she sneered, "Do you think that after everything Dragon Elephant has suffered, his grandmother would just let it go?"

"Ah... Ah?"

It seed the ntion of the grandmother invoked a profound fear in Ke Longxiang; his face turned deathly pale at the thought.

"What, you have complaints against her?"

"Don't forget, if it weren't for my grandmother, you wouldn't have what you have today, nor the chance to marry ..."

"I... I..."

Seemingly unable to find a way to disguise his fear, Ke Bancheng trembled and quickly picked up a rice bowl in front of him, pretending to be engrossed in eating.

This bizarre scene was witnessed through the crack of the private room's door by soone outside.

Looking at Ke Bancheng's fearful expression, Xia Xiaodie was crouched by the door, frowning to herself.

She was supposed to fly from Jinling to Shanghai today to continue her studies.

But coincidentally, she ran into Ke Bancheng and his wife at the airport.

With Xu Fan on her mind, she rembered the night when she overheard him talking on the phone about Ke Longxiang. Unable to resist, she followed them all the way here.

"Weird..."

Though she hadn't spent a lot of ti in Shanghai, she had so understanding of Ke Bancheng.

As a famous magnate in Shanghai, Ke Bancheng could say he had never been involved in any scandals; his loyalty to his wife was unparalleled.

In an era where n tended to turn bad once they had money, the story between Ke Bancheng and his wife could be considered a beautiful tale in Shanghai.

However, the truth that lay before her eyes now made Xia Xiaodie realize that this so-called loyal love story seed to harbor so hidden secrets.

"Ke Bancheng's grandma?"

Murmuring in her mind, for so reason, Xia Xiaodie always felt that this person could be sowhat dangerous.

Thinking of investigating further to inform Xu Fan in ti, Xia Xiaodie continued to stay by the door, pondering if she could overhear more of the conversation.

Ring, ring, ring!

Suddenly, her phone in her pocket started ringing, and noticing that the people inside the private room were becoming aware, Xia Xiaodie quickly slipped away.

"Damn it..."

After running for a while and making sure she hadn't been followed, Xia Xiaodie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was so close..."

She might have caught a clue if she had listened a little longer. Xia Xiaodie felt frustrated and stomped her foot.

Looking at the still-ringing phone in her hand, she shook her head in annoyance.

"Hello, sister, what's up..."

Xia Xiaodie pressed the answer button and picked up the call.

The caller was her sister, Xia Yanyu.

Judging by the ti, she should have already arrived in Shanghai. Her sister's call was likely to check if she had made it.

"Sister, have you gotten off the plane?"

"Yeah, I just... just got off the plane," Xia Xiaodie said, glancing around and speaking sowhat guiltily.

"Hm? Where are you?"

Seemingly catching the discrepancy in the background noise, Xia Yanyu asked with a touch of confusion.

"Oh... oh, I was hungry, sister. I'm at a restaurant now, about to eat sothing."

"Sister, you're so busy with work, stop worrying about all the ti. Alright, it's getting late, you should go eat sothing..."

Not wanting her sister to question her any further and possibly expose her lie, Xia Xiaodie hurriedly made up a few excuses and hung up the phone.

"Whew..."

Putting her phone back in her pocket, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Pfft, big dummy..."

Recalling how she had hidden and watched Xu Fan just monts before, Xia Xiaodie's eyes couldn't help but mist over.

It seed that spending so much ti alone in Shanghai hadn't erased this stubborn guy from her mind; instead, she missed him even more.

Logically, she shouldn't involve herself in this matter, and she might even be ddling too much.

After all, she had broken things off with Xu Fan...

But thinking of the cold look in that woman's eyes, Xia Xiaodie's heart couldn't settle...

"No, I have to go back and check."

Pondering this, she figured that they wouldn't be so alert just because of a phone call.

Turning her phone off, Xia Xiaodie went back to the private room she was at before.

Soon, she returned to the door of the private room.

She glanced around to make sure no one was there and then peered through the crack in the door.

"Damn it..."

Inside the private room, all that was left was the ss on the table; Ke Bancheng and his wife were nowhere to be seen.

"How could they have left so quickly..."

The clues had abruptly ended, and Xia Xiaodie couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Now taking out her phone and turning it back on, Xia Xiaodie's face started to look troubled...

Should she tell him now?
