Chapter 444: Chapter 444: A Mysterious Call
Just as Xiao Yunfei turned to head home, his phone started ringing urgently. The shrill ringtone seemed to be rushing him to do something.
He slightly furrowed his brow, pulled out his phone, and Lin Xian’er’s name was flashing continuously on the screen.
"Lin Xian’er? What does she want from me?"
Images of the young-looking but steely-eyed female officer emerged in Xiao Yifei’s mind. At the same time, he recalled some intimate incidents that had happened between himself and Lin Xian’er in the interrogation room.
"Hello, Lin Xian’er? Why are you calling?"
Xiao Yifei answered the phone, slightly puzzled.
But there was no response from the other end, only the sound of chaos and faint sobbing.
"Hello? Lin Xian’er, is that you? What’s going on, speak up! Why aren’t you speaking?"
Xiao Yifei frowned and spoke into the phone, but there was still no response from the other end, just the ongoing noise, and this time, vaguely, a strong male voice came through.
"Could it be a wrong number?"
Xiao Yifei took the phone away from his ear and looked at the screen, confused about the situation.
However, the sounds that followed from the phone suddenly made Xiao Yifei tighten his brows. He quickly lifted the phone and held it tightly to his ear, intently listening to the sounds coming from the other end.
Due to the transformation from the Dragon Transformation Technique, Xiao Yifei’s body and senses were superior to ordinary people. Thus, even though he had not put the phone to his ear initially, he could still hear the sounds coming from the other end. So, when Xiao Yifei pressed the phone tightly to his ear, he could hear even more clearly.
Although it was mostly noisy interference, it also contained some other information, which was what Xiao Yifei was trying to discern.
Xiao Yifei’s sudden serious attention to this strange call was not without reason.
Because just now, among the female voices in the call, he heard Lin Xian’er’s voice.
The initial sobbing wasn’t Lin Xian’er. Given Lin Xian’er’s personality, she certainly wouldn’t behave like that. Xiao Yifei recognized Lin Xian’er’s voice during a particularly tense shout just moments ago.
Moreover, Xiao Yifei could hear fear, and even hints of despair in Lin Xian’er’s voice.
"Hello! Lin Xian’er, if that’s you, please respond!"
Seeing even a resilient female officer showing such an attitude startled Xiao Yifei. He didn’t know why Lin Xian’er had called him, but he had a feeling that Lin Xian’er’s current situation was not good.
"Hello! Who is that! What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a sharp male voice came through from the other end of the phone, then Xiao Yifei clearly heard Lin Xian’er yell, followed by a busy signal.
Xiao Yifei looked up, his eyes stern as he gazed at his phone. He shook his head lightly. Xiao Yifei thought he could rest a bit after just coming from Nangong Yun’s house, but with this eerie call, it seemed he couldn’t rest at all.
He called Zhou Meifeng, who was still at home, told her not to worry, and then Xiao Yifei found a taxi on the street and got in.
"Master, to Jingjiao Cement Factory."
Xiao Yifei spoke to the taxi driver, who turned and looked at him in surprise: "Young man, that’s quite far from Jingjiao Cement Factory."
"I know, go ahead, I won’t shortchange you," Nangong Yun said as he patted the back seat of the taxi, addressing the driver.
"Alright!"
The taxi driver responded and suddenly turned the vehicle around, then sped away.
It made some sense for the taxi driver to be surprised — the Jingjiao Cement Factory was located in the suburbs of Yanjing, some distance from Yanjing City. The factory had a glorious past but had slowly deteriorated. Recently, news had spread that a big boss had bought the land and then nothing more was heard, so the driver was curious about what Xiao Yifei intended to do at the desolate Yanjing Cement Factory.
However, feeling that Xiao Yifei clearly did not wish to share the reason, the driver refrained from asking more questions and drove straight to the Jingjiao Cement Factory.
After Xiao Yifei paid the taxi driver and got out of the car, he looked at the desolate and weed-overgrown Jingjiao Cement Factory, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes.
He was here for a reason; although Xiao Yifei couldn’t discern exactly what had happened to Lin Xian’er from the phone call, he had heard someone vaguely mention the Jingjiao Cement Factory. Xiao Yifei was sure Lin Xian’er was here.
He didn’t know why Lin Xian’er, in what clearly seemed an emergency, had chosen not to contact the police but to call him instead. Since she had called him, Xiao Yifei would not betray Lin Xian’er’s trust, nor would he let her down.
Even through hell and high water, Xiao Yifei would definitely come, confident that there was no place he couldn’t reach.
But when Xiao Yifei arrived at the Jingjiao Cement Factory, the bleak scenery intensified his confusion.
Earlier in the taxi, he had chatted briefly with the driver and learned that the factory had been purchased by a big boss not long ago, but subsequently, there was no action taken on the land. Combined with Lin Xian’er’s phone call and the ruinous state of the factory, Xiao Yifei still sensed something odd.
As Xiao Yifei scanned the long-abandoned buildings, a flicker of doubt flashed through his eyes. Amidst the wasteland, where everything seemed normal, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was off.
"Seems I have to try this method."
Xiao Yifei’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a faint purple light glinting briefly; in an instant, Clairvoyance was activated.
Previously, Xiao Yifei used Clairvoyance primarily to see through human bodies, but after his abilities had grown, he had never tested whether his clairvoyant vision could penetrate other objects.
He was not disappointed. After activating Clairvoyance, the world suddenly appeared different. The dilapidated buildings faded in Xiao Yifei’s view, allowing him to clearly see through the walls and into the chaotic mess inside.
"Nothing unusual?"
Xiao Yifei frowned slightly, sweat beads slowly forming on his forehead. Although his Clairvoyance had greatly improved, scanning through buildings still placed a significant strain on him.
Yet he still found nothing.
Just when Xiao Yifei was about to give up, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a small two-story building nearby. His eyes instantly narrowed.
Under his clairvoyant gaze, this inconspicuous two-story building appeared dark with many people inside, and below this small building, there was a huge space.
However, at this point, Xiao Yifei’s vision blurred slightly and Clairvoyance was forcibly disengaged. Even with his enhanced abilities, he could no longer sustain the expense of energy at this moment.
"Let’s go inside and check."
After the brief daze, Xiao Yifei knew that his Clairvoyance couldn’t be activated again that day. A glint flashed in his eyes as he adjusted his state and slowly walked towards the two-story building.
During the brief scan with his Clairvoyance, Xiao Yifei had already spotted the entrance to the building.
