C857 Before departure
"Tianyin, good evening, mm ?" Good evening. " Receiving the call from Shentu Tianyin, Xia Lei was actually a little nervous. He knew why, but he couldn't face it.
"You have nothing to say to me but good evening?" Shentu Tianyin's voice carried a faint hidden bitterness.
Xia Lei felt a headache, "En, have you eaten yet?"
"I didn't!"
"Then you have to eat, don't be hungry. Your stomach is not good, you have to eat regularly."
Shentu Tianyin was silent for a moment, then said: "Fine, since you are not willing to talk to me, I will open my mouth."
Now, it was Xia Lei's turn to be silent.
"Liang Siyao is the CEO of the Rayma Group now, right?"
"Yes, today's matter."
"You all ?" After hesitating for a moment, Shentu Tianyin still voiced out, "Have you two made up?"
"I'm going to marry Fan." Xia Lei gave a very clever answer.
"That was fake. I was there." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei, "..."
"I want to talk to you."
"Yes, I can."
"Not over the phone. We'll meet and talk."
Xia Lei's head was already big enough.
Just then, Xia Changhe walked into the study room and shouted: "Who are you calling?"
"I'm talking to ?" Before Xia Lei could finish speaking, a beep sound came out from the phone.
Shentu Tianyin had already hung up.
She and Xia Lei could say whatever they wanted to say, but she didn't dare say anything in front of Xia Changhe. Back then, when she and Xia Lei got married, Xia Changhe didn't agree. He got married to her, but she actually made Xia Lei take the blame for it. Could Xia Changhe still forgive her? In front of Xia Changhe, she was like a timid cat, fleeing the moment he heard Xia Changhe's voice.
With Xia Changhe's experience and intelligence, even though he could not hear Shentu Tianyin's voice on the phone, he could guess from his words who Xia Lei was talking to. He did not care how many women Xia Lei was related to, nor did he care how chaotic Xia Lei's private life was, but he had no good impression of Shentu Tianyin at all.
"Dad." Xia Lei kept his phone, feeling a little awkward, but also a little relaxed. His father's appearance had helped him. Shentu Tianyin wanted to talk to him for sure, it was about Liang Siyao's return. However, talking about his ex-girlfriend with his ex-wife made him feel a headache just thinking about it.
"Shentu Tianyin?" Xia Changhe said.
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "Dad, you know who it is, right? Let's not ask. Just a casual chat. "
Xia Changhe said: "I'm not good with you, I only have one sentence for you."
"Hmm?" Xia Lei looked at Xia Changhe.
"Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and when great calamity befell them, they would each fly away. A woman who abandons you in the face of danger, do you still want to be with her? You want a woman who can live with you, not a woman who just wants to be happy with you. " Xia Changhe said.
Xia Lei did not say much and only nodded his head. What Xia Changhe said made sense, but he did not completely agree with it. If Shentu Tianyin was not the chairman of Wanxiang Group, she would not have done such a thing. If she could do it, then so be it. The facts were like iron, so what could he do? There were times when people made mistakes. In her marriage with Shentu Tianyin, he was actually a disloyal person as well. He was Shentu Tianyin's husband, yet he maintained a lovers relationship with Jiang Ruyi and her.
"I know you have a broad heart, you can tolerate people, you can tolerate things. There's an example of you accepting Liang Siyao, but Liang Siyao's situation is very special. She had made a mistake, but that was her mission. She risked her life to save you in Korea, and she helped me in Israel. After that, she was persuaded by me to join the Zodiac Clan and become a pig that could be sacrificed for the Zodiac Clan. This was her salvation, and she did it well. Look, I don't have any objections if you're with Liang Siyao. Do you understand what I mean? "
Xia Lei nodded again. This was the first time his father had given him a political lesson, and it felt weird.
"Enough, let's not talk about you anymore." Xia Changhe changed the topic, "Those four Knights Hospitaller women have already left."
"Let's go, I'll let them go to Malta first, the real headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller is there. After I finish preparing, I will go to Malta. Yasuya Khan and Kyoko Tsukino are already in the midst of preparing. " Xia Lei said.
"I only came to you because I knew they were preparing. Have you thought about how dangerous it would be for you to go to Malta? " Xia Changhe looked at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei said: "Of course I know how dangerous it is, but you know the reason. If I want to unravel the secrets of the ancient alloy and AE, I must go to Malta."
Xia Changhe was silent for a moment, before saying: "Let me go with you."
"No, no, no, no." Xia Lei did not expect his father to come for this. He rejected him flatly, "You've already washed your hands with gold, you know that it's not easy to get that pardon order. You should have a peaceful and happy old age, I don't want you to return to your old path anymore. "
"But ?"
"We can discuss anything, father and son, but not this." Xia Lei said: "You still have to think about Xia Xue, she is also your child. I already have no way out, just in case something happens to me, who will protect her? "
Xia Changhe sighed, "Alright then, you must be careful."
Xia Lei thought for a moment and said: "Father, if you really want to help me, then tell me who this snake is. Let this snake help me."
"I knew you'd say that." Xia Changhe said: "That is the last card I leave for you, now is not the time to show that card. Trust me, the snake will come, when you need it most. This is not the time. "
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "Alright then, I will wait for that time to come."
Xia Changhe patted Xia Lei's shoulder, "It's best not to have that kind of time." With that, he turned and left.
However, Xia Lei was still stunned, and felt very strange in his heart, "He's been unwilling to reveal the true identity of the snake the entire time, it's best not to let that happen. Who is the snake? "What a headache."
After a long while, he took out the satellite telephone that he had contacted with the Zodiac Clan.
"Arresian, are you ready?" Xia Lei went straight to the point.
"We are already prepared. We will fly the Sicily tonight and wait for you there." Arresian's voice.
The island of Malta had an airport, so it was not a wise choice to fly directly to Malta. The Sicily s and Malta Island were both in the Mediterranean Sea. Xia Lei could go to the Sicily s first, and then use the sea route to go to Malta Island.
"Once you're ready, let's go. I'll meet up with you guys in a day." Xia Lei said.
"Are you sure you won't leave anyone with you?" Arresian's voice.
"Nope." Xia Lei said.
"Alright then, I'll see you at the Sicily. Well, that's motherfucker. This is my territory too, haha! " Arresian's laughter was very arrogant.
The Sicily was the birthplace of the Italian Mafia, a place that was really Arresian's land.
After finishing the call with Arresian, Xia Lei left the study and returned to his room. Before he could pack for the Sicily, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Lei, are you asleep?" Liang Siyao's voice.
"No, right away." The corner of Xia Lei's mouth curled up into a smile as he went to open the door for Liang Siyao.
Liang Siyao pursed her lips and laughed, "What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't read it. Would you like to invite me in? "
Xia Lei stepped aside, and closed the door when Liang Siyao entered the room. At this time, Liang Siyao would definitely not come to his room just to sit, he had to make preparations.
Sure enough, Liang Siyao walked to his bedside with a brush and took off her high heels with two kicks. Then she stretched and said with a soft voice: "I'm so tired, I haven't worked so hard in a long time. I didn't expect you to be so lazy and leave me so much work. "
Maybe because she was too tired, she stretched out and then lay down on the bed.
"You, don't be too tired. There are some things that can be done by the man and Qing Caiyue."
"It's true that a real man is not bad, but that secretary of yours is also pretty capable. It's just a little coquettish." Liang Siyao suddenly stared at Xia Lei, and smiled, "You are so evil, your secretary is so coquettish, you must have already fallen for her, right?"
"Fuck you." Xia Lei said unhappily: "Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"
"Do you or do you not have it?"
"No, really no, I can promise you that." Xia Lei said. He almost had one, but he didn't.
"At least you're good." As long as you don't touch her, then I can command her as I please. "
Xia Lei, "..."
"What kind of expression is that?" I have my own considerations. If she's the kind of woman who works for you and then goes to bed with you, she won't like it if I let her do whatever she wants. What if she blows a breeze over your pillow, wouldn't I be wrongly accused? "
Xia Lei's heart was filled with softness. She had really changed.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine once I get familiar with the environment. I'm definitely very tired in the past few days, but I'm very happy to be able to do something for you." Liang Siyao's eyes were full of tenderness.
"I'm going to Malta." Xia Lei said, he could not bear to ruin the warm atmosphere, but he did not want to hide this kind of thing from her.
"You ?" Sure enough, Liang Siyao's eyes were filled with worry.
"I must go, you know the secrets in me, I must unravel them, I must go to Malta. Don't worry, with Yasuya Khan and Arresian helping me, nothing will happen. "After I left, you took care of the company."
Liang Siyao nodded his head, "Be careful."
