When she took out her phone, her blood seemed to curdle and a chill ran down her spine.
It was an unknown number.
Her trembling finger swiped across the screen and she heard that familiar and terrifying processed voice on the other end.
“An Xiaxia.”
Taking a deep breath, An Xiaxia said calmly, “It’s me.”
“I told you, your family will die if you try to look for me!” The voice sounded like a hysterical animal.
An Xiaxia smiled confidently. “They’re protected by the best bodyguards. You’ll never get to them.”
She was no longer that timid and incompetent girl. She now had enough resources to keep her family safe!
The mysterious caller chuckled coldly. “Just wait and see! You’re going to pay for this!”
“Who on earth are you? Why do you want to ruin my life? What have I ever done to you?” An Xiaxia pressed.
The call ended abruptly.
An Xiaxia thought for a moment and suddenly realized that since the mysterious caller couldn’t get to Papa An or An Yibei, not to mention Sheng Yize, who was even more impossible to harm… what about Cola and Pepsi?
The babies couldn’t talk or walk. The nannies and bodyguards couldn’t be there 24/7. Even if something happened to them, they couldn’t cry for help.
An Xiaxia broke into a cold sweat at that thought and went to the babies’ room right away.
Great. Cola and Pepsi were still there.
An Xiaxia didn’t try to keep anything secret this time, but called Sheng Yize right away.
Sheng Yize was in a meeting when he got her phone call. His face darkened at the news and he returned home immediately.
An Xiaxia’s face was ghastly pale and she wouldn’t put Cola and Pepsi down.
“Don’t be scared. I’m here,” said Sheng Yize in a low voice.
An Xiaxia almost burst into tears. “Sheng Yize, I’m so scared… Who is this person? Will he or she try to harm Cola and Pepsi?”
“That won’t happen… Don’t worry. I’m here and I’ll protect them.” Sheng Yize kissed her on the forehead, called his assistant, and doubled the security personnel.
The Sheng family fell into a panicked state, which lasted for the next two weeks. When nothing happened, Sheng Yize was slightly relieved, thinking that the whole thing was probably just to scare An Xiaxia.
During this time, An Xiaxia nearly had a breakdown. She wouldn’t let the babies out of her sight and Sheng Yize was sad to see her growing more haggard by the day.
“Xiaxia… you have to stop worrying. The babies will be fine.”
“Sheng Yize… you don’t know that feeling…” An Xiaxia muttered, tears welling up in her eyes. “That helpless, panicky feeling of despair… Despite all the people helping you out, you still don’t know who to depend on…”
She went on talking, not knowing what she was saying. Sheng Yize rubbed her head and asked gently, “Was it this difficult for you back then as well?”
An Xiaxia opened her mouth, dazed.
“You knew it…”
“Yes.” He had found out a long time ago, but had been waiting for An Xiaxia to tell him herself.
“Xiaxia, tell me everything that happened. The more evidence we have, the sooner we’ll catch this person so that he or she won’t do any harm ever again.”
An Xiaxia bit her lip. “Back then… I received a mysterious phone call, telling me to break up with you. If I didn’t do it, my brother and dad would die… The caller also said that after we broke up, my dad and brother would meet with accidents if we saw each other again…”
Sheng Yize’s heart lurched.
When he was being tormented by the breakup, she had been no less miserable.
