Xu Taiping didn't contact any of the Thompson family members, but he didn't care because he had already left a message. When the Thomson family members saw his message, they would naturally reply to it.
Xu Taiping put away his phone. Just as he was about to take a rest, his phone rang again.
This time, it was Sis Chen who called.
Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment before he picked up the phone.
"Little Xu, it's like you haven't been home since we arrived. Big sis … I called you before, but you still haven't answered. You're so worried about this big sis." Mrs. Chen on the other end of the phone said.
Xu Taiping smiled, sat on the sofa, and said, "Sis Chen, I've already come home. Today, I showed my hand to her, saying that I want a divorce."
"Is that so? This marriage is not a joke, don't you think? " Sister Chen asked.
"I've thought it through. I've suffered too much in this house. I don't want to continue living here. I want to leave this house immediately, for no other reason but to give vent to my past!" Xu Taiping said excitedly.
"Sigh, I still feel that you're too impulsive, but it's not like I can say much. Oh yeah, I have to …" As soon as Sis Chen said this, Xu Taiping interrupted her.
"Sis, let me tell you something." Xu Taiping said.
"What is it?" Sister Chen asked.
If I want to get a divorce, I have to get a lawyer. But, I really don't have much money in my pocket, most of the money I had previously was managed by my wife, now that I'm going to divorce her and she doesn't return it to me, I don't have the money to hire a lawyer, and I've already asked, in my divorce case, if I can get a better lawyer, then the odds are very high. At that time, I can definitely split the money between them! Sis, I only have a relative like you. I want to ask you, can you lend me three thousand yuan? I'll hire a better lawyer so I can get more money. " Xu Taiping said.
"You … You want to borrow three thousand from me? " Sis Chen asked in surprise.
"That's right, Sister Chen, I'm really homeless now, I have no one to help me. If you don't help me, then I'll have to fight on my own. However, I'm not very clear on the rules and regulations of the law, so if I were to start a divorce case like this, I'm afraid I won't have much luck." Xu Taiping said.
"This... Elder sister, I haven't been very rich recently! " Sister Chen said hesitantly.
"Is that so? "Then forget it. Sigh, I can't let you help me all the time. Back then, you helped me so much, and now, you're even helping me. I really …" Sigh, since Sis Chen is short on funds, then forget about it. I'll go find someone else to take a look. Can you find someone to turn the tables on or do something about the online loan? " Xu Taiping said.
"Internet lending …" "Still don't want it?" Sister Chen said.
Hearing Sis Chen's words, Xu Taiping was a little surprised, "Why? "I think a lot of people are borrowing online right now!"
"Online lending is a scam, really, you will only owe more and more. If you can win the lawsuit by borrowing, that's fine, but if you can't win the lawsuit, then you might fall into an endless range of loans, and before long, you'll be bankrupt. You might as well go and borrow from your relatives and friends." Sister Chen said.
"Is that so? "Sis Chen, are you very familiar with online lending?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This..." To be honest, their telecom scam was related to online loans. If they tricked a person into thinking that way, they could even get the person to borrow money from a special platform. This was not as simple as swindling someone's savings. Sis Chen would never do such a thing. After all, she … He didn't really want to hurt her.
"I'm not very familiar with these things, but I've seen them on TV before. Anyway, don't go online to borrow money." Sister Chen said.
I can't rely on relatives anymore. I'm a burden and everyone sees me as someone who eats soft food, so how can they lend me money? We won't contact each other anymore, but Sis Chen, thank you so much, you're the only one who still cares about me! "" I don't know what you're talking about! "" You … "" You … you … "" You … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … "" " Xu Taiping said.
"No problem, it's nothing." Sister Chen said.
"About that, Sister Chen, I still have things to do, so this is it!" Xu Taiping hung up without waiting for a reply, then threw his phone onto the sofa.
"This swindler doesn't have any conscience at all!" Xu Taiping smiled as he said to himself. According to his understanding of swindlers, swindlers would only want to see you borrow more money to be swindled by them. Yet, this Mrs. Chen stopped him from going to the internet for loans, which at least meant that this swindler had a bit of conscience.
Xu Taiping didn't go back to bed. He just lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
He slept until dawn.
Xu Taiping hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time, but what surprised him was that the Thompson Family didn't call him back in one night.
This was not normal. At night in China, Chu Ye was in the daytime. From the time Xu Taiping called to Xu Taiping to him waking up, about an hour had passed. During these ten hours, it was impossible that no one from the Thompson Family had seen his message.
Xu Taiping tried calling again, but he received the same reply.
"Hello, this is Thompson's house. We're not at home. Please leave a message!"
This time, Xu Taiping didn't leave a message. Instead, he hung up the phone and called one of Chu Ye's men.
"To xx city, xx region, xx region, find people from the Thompson family."
Xu Taiping gave orders to his men, who then headed over to the Thompson family.
Xu Taiping put away his phone, deep in thought.
At this moment, the sound of an anxious fire engine came from the street in front of them.
Xu Taiping stood up and walked to the window to look outside.
Fire trucks were driving away.
A fire?
Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, then looked into the distance.
Far away, smoke seemed to be rising.
In that direction … It seemed to be in the direction of Jiang Yuan University.
Xu Taiping picked up his phone and made a call to Chen Wen, but the notification popped up.
Xu Taiping hung up the phone. After a minute or so, Chen Wen called back.
"Director Xu, you're looking for me?" Chen Wen asked.
"I saw a fire truck heading towards the school. I also saw smoke. It's in the direction of the school. Is the school on fire?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yeah, there's a fire at the back of the mountain. I don't know why, but it suddenly caught fire. Now that the fire engine has arrived and the fire is still very strong, I'm organizing people to go up the mountain to put out the fire!" Chen Wen said.
"There's a fire at the back of the mountain? There are a lot of trees on the back mountain, so you have to be careful. " Xu Taiping said.
"Yes, no problem." Chen Wen nodded.
Xu Taiping hung up the phone and was about to go to the company when his phone suddenly rang again. This time, it was Lin You Ran.
Xu Taiping was surprised. Ever since he had given Lin You Ran his phone number, Lin You Ran had never called him.
Xu Taiping picked up the phone.
From the other end of the phone came Lin You Ran's sobbing.
"Director Xu, save me, save me." Lin You Ran shouted.
"What's wrong?!" Xu Taiping hurriedly asked.
"I'm on fire here, it's all fire here. Director Xu, I'm at the back of the mountain behind the school, I'm really scared. They said that the fire engine is about to arrive, but … the fire here is so huge. I don't know where to go, Director Xu." Lin You Ran cried.
"Where are you at the back of the mountain?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I... I'm at the kiosk. " Lin You Ran said.
The study hall was a place where people could study at the back of Jiangyuan University. Usually, there would be students studying there because it was a quiet place with a good environment.
"Then wait for me, I'll be there immediately!" "Remember, don't stand at a disadvantage. Do you understand?" Xu Taiping said.
"I... I understand! " Lin You Ran said.
Xu Taiping hung up the phone and quickly went downstairs, heading towards Jiang Yuan University.
Ten minutes later, Xu Taiping arrived at Jiangyuan University.
The entrance to Jiangyuan University had long been cordoned off. Smoke was billowing as it rose into the air from the mountain behind Jiangyuan University.
The fire was fierce.
Xu Taiping passed through the cordon line and headed towards the back of the mountain.
A few minutes later, Xu Taiping arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, at least a third of the entire back mountain was already on fire.
Chen Wen and the others were standing at the foot of the mountain. Their faces were dark, and it was obvious that they had just finished the fire.
"Why are you guys here? What about the fire engine? " Xu Taiping asked.
"The fire engines are already in the mountains. They won't let us in and say it's too dangerous." Chen Wen said.
"How many fire engines did you get in?" Xu Taiping asked.
"A lot, at least ten of them! Over a hundred of us will be going into the mountains!" Chen Wen said.
"Hundreds of people? It's still not enough. " Xu Taiping shook his head and walked up the mountain.
At this moment, a demonic wind suddenly blew. The fire on the mountain suddenly became more intense, and the direction of the fire also changed. The fire was originally from the west to the east, but with this wind, it started burning from the south to the north.
Xu Taiping didn't stay at the foot of the mountain. He ran straight into the mountains.
"Director Xu, be careful!" Chen Wen shouted.
Xu Taiping did not reply. His figure slowly disappeared into the distance, disappearing right in front of Chen Wen.
Xu Taiping went into the mountain faster than the cars. Soon, Xu Taiping came in contact with the fire.
Directly in front of Xu Taiping, several fire engines had stopped. Some of them were building isolation belts, while others were extinguishing fire.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and go down the mountain! " A firefighter saw Xu Taiping and shouted loudly.
"I'm Xu Taiping, I'm here to help!" Xu Taiping shouted.
In Jiang Yuan city, the name Xu Taiping was a golden signboard that everyone recognized.
Hearing the two words' Xu Taiping ', all the firemen present were in high spirits.
