Chapter 56 Passed Out

Xi Duan was terrified by the angry expression on Xi Kong Hai’s face.

The only person he feared was his father. Thus, the young man kept his mouth shut, as he did not dare say anything.

Xi Kong Hai stared at Xi Duan for a while before heaving a sigh. He was trying to manage his anger. At the end of the day, Xi Dong was still his grandson.

“What did the police say? Have you talked to them?”

“I have. The only thing they promised was that they will cover it up to protect the Xi family. But regarding the release of Little Dong, they said it was impossible. Little Dong will be prosecuted and will be jailed for 100 years!”

Xi Duan said this with a frustrated voice.

Xi Dong furrowed his brow. “Do the police not care about us at all? Have you contacted Gu Ming yet?”

Xi Duan’s face showed that he was at a loss. “I did. But Uncle Gu said that this is beyond his reach. There’s nothing he could do!”

“Does this mean somebody is targeting Xi Dong?”

Xi Kong Hai was not stupid. He had been through enough to have some idea of what had happened to Xi Dong after learning that even Gu Ming, who was Police Lieutenant General, could not help him with the matter.

“I think so too.”

“Gu Ming did not tell you anything?” Xi Kong Hai asked with a tired voice whilst massaging his temples.

“Uncle Gu said I should ask Little Dong who he had wronged.”

Xi Duan said this with a degree of difficulty. He was afraid that his father would just get angrier when he learned that Xi Dong had crossed someone so powerful that even Gu Ming could not handle things.

“What are you waiting for then? Contact him now!” Xi Kong Hai let out a breath.

“Yes, father.” Xi Duan nodded before pulling out his phone and dialling the Xing Zhou City’s police station. Before long, somebody picked up and put him through to Xi Dong.

“D... dad! You must help me! I don’t want to go to jail!” Xi Dong said. His face was as pale as paper because he was beyond simple fear.

“Tell me who have you wronged!” Xi Duan said with a gloomy expression when he heard his son through the phone.

“I... I did not... wrong him. I have no idea why he’s doing this to me.”

“Who is this ‘he’?” Xi Duan frowned before he put the boy on speaker to let Xi Kong Hai listen in.

“G... general Huang Qian!” Xi Dong’s voice was shaking very hard when he replied.

“What?!?” Xi Kong Hai sprang from the chair to his feet as though he had been stabbed by a hot piece of metal. His face showed clear shock.

p Xi Duan was no different. He was astounded to the point that he almost forgot to breathe. His mouth opened and closed as he tried to catch his breath.

“Wh... what did you just say?” Xi Kong Hai screamed at the top of his lungs.

“G... grandpa!” Xi Dong almost passed out when he heard his grandfather. Just like Xi Duan, his father, the person he feared the most was his grandfather.

The drug dealing, combined with wronging General Huang Qian (when he had wronged him, he had no idea) must have had his grandpa absolutely fuming.

“Answer me!” Xi Kong Hai’s eyes were completely red. He shouted once more.

“Speak quickly!” Even Xi Duan shouted.

“He... He is General Huang Qian!”

When his fear was confirmed, as if struck by lightning, Xi Kong Hai’s body swayed. He felt so faint, he collapsed into the chair before passing out.

Xi Duan was only slightly better. He did not pass out, but his face was paperwhite. His body shook, his heart pounding because of fear. His lips trembled as he did not know what to say.

He hung up the phone before taking in a deep breath to calm himself down.

He turned to look at his father bitterly. Seeing the old man passed out, he could already tell that it was from anger.

And aside from the anger, there must have been fear, too.

This was because General Huang Qian was one of the ten most powerful generals in the army. Terrible consequences were guaranteed to befall those who crossed any of them.

Especially at this moment, when the Xi family was not as powerful as before, they should not be offending him.

“I will have to call General Huang Qian. At the very least, I need to find out what Little Dong did to wrong him.” Xi Duan made this decision before he called General Huang Qian.

It seemed that Huang Qian was waiting for the call. Within two rings, there was a reply. “Hello, who is this?”

“General, it’s me, Xi Duan.” Xi Duan tried to force a smile when he spoke, even though he was not face-to-face with General Huang Qian at present.

“Oh... it’s you. What’s the matter? I’m quite busy these days.” Huang Qian spoke with an ice-cold voice.

Xi Duan shivered. He hesitated for a bit before deciding to ask his question.

“About Little Dong... I mean the matter with Xi Dong, I wanted to know what he did to offend you.”

General Huang Qian did not reply right away. But not long after, he spoke coolly before hanging up the phone, “See for yourself.”

Once the phone call was ended, an e-mail notification popped up. Xi Duan looked down and saw an e-mail from Huang Qian. He looked at it with a heavy heart.

Even though he did not know what General Huang Qian had sent, he had could guess it. It must be what his son Xi Dong had done to offend the general.

Xi Duan clicked to open the e-mail and saw a video attached to it. He played it right away without any hesitation.

Five minutes later, when he finished the video, Xi Duan’s expression was so furious, it was as if he wanted to murder Xi Dong with his own hands. He had not thought that this was what Xi Dong had done to wrong General Huang Qian!

For certain, the video that was sent was when Bai Chen had switched to Xi Dong’s face and caused trouble with Li Cong Tian and his wife, Li Yu.

And because Li Cong Tian’s living room was packed full of CCTV cameras for safety, it was not a surprise they had this video. They’d sent it to Huang Qian for him to then pass on to Xi Duan.
