Hai Xiao Min's heart slightly tightened and calmly replied with a smile. She hoped that it was just her imagination …

"The phone is here." Guan Xiang walked over to the bed, took out the phone from under the pillow and handed it to Hai Xiao Min.

Hai Xiao Min took the phone and turned it over curiously. "The phone you're using is so special, Guan Lao Da. What brand is it? It seems very rare in the market."

Sister Guan smiled without a care, "It's just a domestically made brand, it's normal that Hai Xiao Min has never seen it."

"There's a lock." Hai Xiao Min pressed on the bright screen and discovered that there was a lock screen.

Master Guan came over and entered the password first, then unlocked it with her fingerprint. "It's done."

Most people only needed a lock on their cell phone. Guan Xiang seemed to care a lot about her privacy. However, this was understandable as everyone had their own habits.

Hai Xiao Min held her phone and walked a few steps toward the balcony. She pressed down the number in her heart hesitantly, and was a little stunned when she saw the number displayed. She didn't even feel like adding a contact note for this number, she didn't expect that she would already be able to memorize it after looking at it so many times …

The dialing went on for a long time, but no one answered.

Isn't he by his cell phone?

She dialed again. This time, it was a long time before anyone answered. Just as she was about to give up, the call was picked up. A familiar male voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello?"

"It's me." Hai Xiao Min answered.

"…" The other party was obviously stunned, and quickly shouted, "Little Min Hai!? "Why, why are you using this number?"

Only then did Hai Xiao Min realize that he was actually nervous since he had suppressed his tone so low earlier.

Of course, this was not something that could make Du Qing this nervous and alert with just a strange phone number.

"Because …" Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Sister Guan waiting for her in the room. Hai Xiaoming gloomily looked at the sky, feeling troubled. "I'm with the owner of this account right now."

"Leave immediately!" Du Qing's tone was as cold as ice as he did his best to suppress his surging emotions.

Hai Xiaomin hung up the phone and stood on the balcony without moving for a while. She needed to adjust her complicated emotions.

"Is the call over?" Guan Xiang walked towards her, a profound smile on her face.

"Mm, thank you." Hai Xiao Min turned around and was about to return the phone to Guan Xiang when another ringtone rang on her body – Guan Xiang's phone refused to pick up calls except for a few special numbers. Du Qing couldn't get through to this number, so he called Hai Xiang's phone.

The two women seemed to have frozen, the only sound in the room was the ringing of the bell.

Guan Xiang stopped in her tracks as she went to pick up the phone. She stood on the spot and looked at Hai Xiao Min, revealing a cold sneer as if she had seen through her disguise.

At this moment, there was no longer any need to continue pretending.

"Sister Guan, is it really you?" Hai Xiao Min stared at the woman in front of her and frowned. She could not understand what was going on. The traitor, the boss of the drug lord, was right under her nose!

If she had known about this from the very beginning and told Ling Yao about it, would there have been no LY cases where Ling Yao had been taken away by the police to investigate?

"Didn't you already confirm it?" Sister Guan glanced at the phone in Hai Xiao Min's hand coldly. She had guessed the other party's intention when he asked to borrow her phone.

Hai Xiao Min swallowed her saliva. Her mouth was a little dry and her palms were drenched in cold sweat. If being in the same room with such a dangerous person wasn't enough to make her wary, then her opponent's fearless attitude would be enough to make her feel bad.

Hai Xiao Min suddenly turned around and rushed to the door!

As expected, Guan Xiang chased after her and flipped her over with all her strength. She put her arm on the door handle, guarding the only exit from the room.

"Since you know what you shouldn't know, do you think that I will let you leave this place alive?" Guan Xiang's face was as cold as ice as she spoke, revealing a completely different aura than usual. That aura was the bloodthirsty aura of the drug lord, who was licking his own blood on the tip of his blade.

Yes, from the moment she agreed to Hai Xiaomin's request to borrow her phone, she had already mentally prepared herself for it. And Hai Xiaomin's only chance to escape was before she entered this room!

Unfortunately, she missed it.

"Sister Guan!" She tried her best to stay calm and deal with him, "You have already been exposed, this is the Star Manor, and you should know who I am. Do you think you can escape if I go missing?"

Even if it was just to buy time for the other party to hesitate in their decision to kill her, it was still a rare opportunity for her!

"But if I let you go, I won't be able to escape either." Guan Xiang pulled out a cold dagger from behind her waist and approached Hai Xiao Min step by step with a devilish calmness on her face. She had only seen that kind of calmness on Ling Yao's and Jess Xiu's face before.

"Sister Guan, don't be so stubborn. If you keep making mistakes, killing me won't do you any good. It will only force you into a corner!"

Hai Xiao Min retreated step by step, but in such a small room, where could she retreat to? Since the other party had brought out his blade, it would be useless to fight head on with him.

"I know very well what kind of punishment I will face for the crimes I've committed. Even if it isn't the death penalty, I'm afraid I'll have to spend my life in prison. Killing you or not killing you won't actually do me any harm." Guan Xiang paused for a moment before stopping in her tracks, "Why don't we make a deal?"

"..." "What kind of deal?"

Did he want to use letting her off as a bargaining chip in exchange for her not mentioning what had happened today in order to give the other party enough time to divert their attention?

Guan Xiang opened her mouth, but just as she was about to say something, the balcony glass shattered with a bang. Hai Xiao Min screamed and before she could react, she saw Guan Xiang clutching her right shoulder, falling to the ground in pain!

Between her fingers, blood was flowing.

What happened?

Hai Xiao Min's face was pale as she looked at the scene in front of her in a daze.

Immediately after, the door was violently flung open, and two armed special police officers rushed in: "Police! Don't move! Squat down! Put your hands behind your head! "

Hai Xiao Min was filled with fear and raised his hand to do as he was told. Just then, a figure broke through the formation of special police officers and rushed in. He nervously grabbed Hai Xiao Min's shoulders, and looked at her from head to toe: "Are you alright? "Huh?"

"Du, Du Qing …" Hai Xiaoming stared at him with wide eyes, still shaken.

Seeing that there were no traces of injuries on her body, Du Qing embraced her and heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm fine. It's good as long as I'm fine …"

He had just let out a breath of relief when he suddenly heard Hai Xiao Min's cold voice: "Why did you come here?"

Or should she ask, how did he come so timely?

Du Qing's heart tightened once more.
