357: Chapter 351 Purpose 357: Chapter 351 Purpose “Is it really just a phone call?” Chen Zhengcong paused, taken aback.
He looked Chen Hai up and down with suspicion before confirming, after seeing that Chen Hai didn’t seem to be joking.
Despite the prior bravado, the truth was that his acquaintance with Chen Hai was limited to just one transaction; they were hardly close.
Given the exceptionally effective talismans Chen Hai had sold him, which had been of considerable help, Chen Zhengcong was indifferent to the idea of lending a hand.
Had Chen Hai’s request for help been more troubleso, he would have found an excuse to refuse outright.
But now, if it was just a matter of making a phone call, to him, it was no trouble at all.
After all, even though Ms.
Gong Yuxin had dismissed him, they still communicated frequently and maintained a close relationship.
“Yes, it’s that simple!”
“I wouldn’t have the nerve to bother you, Master Chen, with a difficult task!”
“Of course, I wouldn’t expect you to help for nothing.
After you relay the ssage to Ms.
Gong, I’ll give you two Corpse Transformation Talismans as compensation,” Chen Hai said with a nod and a smile.
For him, drawing Corpse Transformation Talismans had beco quite simple.
With determination, he could produce two within half an hour.
It would be a loss for him to give Chen Zhengcong a Danghui Talisman for such a small favor.
But if it was just two Corpse Transformation Talismans as compensation, Chen Hai felt that should be acceptable.
“Younger Brother Chen, look at how you’re speaking, so formal.”
“It’s just making a phone call, right?
Leave it to , no need to talk about compensation!”
Chen Zhengcong’s words were clearly just a courtesy.
When Chen Hai handed him the two Corpse Transformation Talismans, Chen Zhengcong hardly protested, carefully tucking them away.
From Chen Zhengcong’s deanor, Chen Hai could tell that if he had been asked to help without any offer of compensation, the situation would be quite different—certainly not with the smile he wore now.
While speaking, Chen Zhengcong smoothly produced a mobile phone from his pocket.
Like Chen Hai’s, the Nokia 2110 he held was identical.
Back in the Mainland, only the Capital City had a mobile network, for the mont.
Even Yuedong, at the forefront of reform and opening up, was still laying out its network, with official service expected to start next year.
But Xiangjiang was different.
As a financial hub of Asia and a true international tropolis, its developnt far surpassed that of the Mainland.
In Xiangjiang, mobile phones, a rarity in the Mainland, were quite common.
“Younger brother, what ssage do you want to relay to Ms.
Gong?
I’ll call her right now and let her know!”
Chen Zhengcong picked up his phone, found Gong Yuxin’s number, and looked to Chen Hai to inquire.
“Tell her, her husband has had an accident, he’s been kidnapped for ransom.”
“If my calculations are correct, the kidnappers will definitely call her the day after tomorrow at this ti.”
“Regardless of whether she reports to the police or follows the kidnappers’ demands, her husband is certainly dood.”
“If Ms.
Gong wants her husband, Wang Dehui, to return safely, tell her she can co find !”
With a faint smile, Chen Hai spoke calmly and lightly.
“What…” Chen Zhengcong on the other side shuddered at those words, nearly losing grip of his phone and dropping it.
“Chen Hai, are you sure you’re not joking with ?”
“You want to convey such a ssage to Ms.
Gong Yuxin?” His face tinted with anger, Chen Zhengcong stared directly at Chen Hai.
Before, he always called Younger Brother Chen.
But now, he’s started to directly call by my na, Chen Hai.
“Of course I’m certain!” Chen Hai nodded.
Then he added, “Rest assured, the kidnapping of Wang Dehui has nothing to do with .”
“My entry and exit records can easily be checked by Ms.
Gong if she wishes.”
“I only ca over from the Mainland this afternoon, and after arriving in Xiangjiang, I’ve stayed inside the Regent Hotel.”
“Until we agreed to et, I didn’t leave the hotel.”
“You know a thing or two about Feng Shui, so you should understand that once the Divination Skill is cultivated to a certain realm, all things can be divined.”
“The matter of Wang Dehui was divined by using divination!”
“You just need to relay my words as is to Ms.
Gong.
Whether she believes it or not is not your concern!”
As he said these words, Chen Hai’s face always bore a faint smile.
The primary reason he had arranged to et Chen Zhengcong was precisely for this.
After those kidnappers received the ransom, then to take action against them, rescue the person, and get the money back?
That’s called biting the hand that feeds you, and the money you get is dirty; it requires a thorough cleaning by Chen Hai and his crew before it can truly be used.
Coming to Xiangjiang filled with positive energy, Chen Hai held the intent to do good deeds.
In that case, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to go directly to Wang Dehui’s wife, Gong Yuxin?
After negotiating the terms with her, the money Chen Hai and his crew ultimately received would be clean compensation, ready to use upon receipt!
Ms.
Gong, being a very wealthy person, would certainly live in a luxury area.
With Wang Dehui kidnapped, their ho would be under high security and in a state of alert.
If Chen Hai recklessly barged into her ho to discuss this, wouldn’t there be a high chance of causing a misunderstanding, and in the worst case, he might even get into a fight with the security personnel she had hired.
Chen Zhengcong had a very close relationship with Ms.
Gong Yuxin.
Having him relay a ssage to her would naturally be the best option.
“You’re saying that your Divination Skill has reached an unfathomable level?
That you can divine everything?”
Chen Zhengcong’s expression changed several tis.
Initially, upon hearing Chen Hai’s words, he was annoyed, but as he continued, his expression beca one of shock and astonishnt.
However, at this mont, since he could ask such a question, it was clear that he was sowhat skeptical of Chen Hai’s claims.
“Chen Zhengcong, you’ve already accepted the fee for passing on the ssage.
Is it really that difficult for you to do just that?”
“The thing I hate the most is people who don’t keep their word.”
“You might not know it, but people who take my fee and fail to do the job can easily et an untily death!”
“Are you questioning my abilities with what you just said?”
“Alright, open your eyes wide and watch that cup of coffee in front of you closely…”
Chen Hai said with a casual smile.
His words may seem nonchalant, but they held a deeper aning.
The cup of coffee in front of Chen Zhengcong had been sitting for a while and was just warm by now.
There was only half a cup left in the cup, with a stainless steel coffee spoon placed inside.
As Chen Hai’s words ended, the once warm half-cup of coffee suddenly started to boil.
The stainless steel spoon inside also began to glow red at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly heating up, and then it slowly started to lt, turning into a molten steel.
