C306 Tied up Late at Night
Although this dinner was a little farce, it did not disturb Lee Hongtian and Ling Han.
The two of them quickly finished their dinner.
It wasn't until around nine in the evening that Lee Hongtian finally sent Ling Han home. Then, he left and returned to the villa.
At this moment, at Zhou Yafei's villa on the other side of the street.
As soon as Zhou Yafei returned home, just as she opened the door and walked in, she was knocked unconscious from the back.
"Bam!"
Zhou Yafei fainted and fell to the ground.
After Zhou Yafei fainted, two shadows walked out from the door.
These two black figures were dressed in black, and it was impossible to tell what they looked like.
However, he could tell that the two of them were a man and a woman.
Immediately after, the man carried Zhou Yafei on his shoulder and the two of them silently left the villa with Zhou Yafei.
When she left, the doors of Zhou Yafei's villa were wide open.
Until Lee Hongtian drove back.
Lee Hongtian parked the car. Just as he was about to take out the key to open the door, he saw the scene of the mansion's door opening.
"Hmm? Why is the door open? " Lee Hongtian was suddenly confused.
Lee Hongtian hurriedly entered the mansion after thinking about it.
"Wife?" Wife? "
Lee Hongtian called Zhou Yafei a few times after entering the mansion, but there was no response from Zhou Yafei.
This let Lee Hongtian know that something must have happened to Zhou Yafei.
The door was wide open, but there was no sign of Zhou Yafei. This made Lee Hongtian worried.
Then, Lee Hongtian immediately took out his phone and dialed Zhou Yafei's number.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off."
But soon, the phone rang. Zhou Yafei's phone was actually turned off.
Lee Hongtian didn't hesitate and called Chen Bing.
Very quickly, Chen Bing picked up the phone.
"Hey, Lee Hongtian, what happened?" Chen Bing had just returned home and was just about to wash up when she received a call from Lee Hongtian. It confused her so she quickly answered the call and asked Lee Hongtian.
"Chen Bing, is Yafei with you?" Lee Hongtian asked Chen Bing at once. He thought Zhou Yafei had gone to Chen Bing's place. After all, Zhou Yafei had the best relationship with Chen Bing.
"Nope, I just got home too. I was the one who sent my sister home first, what's the matter? What happened? " Chen Bing asked in doubt after hearing Lee Hongtian's question.
Chen Bing had just sent Zhou Yafei home about ten minutes ago. Then, she drove her car home and she clearly saw Zhou Yafei enter the mansion.
Lee Hongtian was even more certain that something happened to Zhou Yafei after hearing Chen Bing's answer.
Chen Bing had just sent Zhou Yafei home. Besides, Zhou Yafei wasn't home yet. The door to the mansion was open and her phone was turned off. This meant that something had happened.
"I just got home and found the door open. Your sister isn't at home, and her cell phone is turned off." Lee Hongtian quickly told Chen Bing what happened.
When Chen Bing heard this, she was shocked beyond belief.
The situation in front of him was still fine, how could something have happened in such a short amount of time?
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar number came into Lee Hongtian's phone.
When Lee Hongtian saw this unfamiliar number, he instantly frowned.
After hesitating for a second or two, Lee Hongtian hung up the phone with Chen Bing and connected the call with this stranger.
"Who is it?" Lee Hongtian asked in a low voice after answering the phone.
"Hehe, Mr. Lee, long time no see."
A sinister and sharp voice came from the other end of the phone, letting people know that it wasn't a good person.
When Lee Hongtian heard this voice, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had just met someone recently.
"You are the leader of the Luomann Country people who fled last time."
After pausing for a moment, Lee Hongtian remembered to speak to the other party.
Lee Hongtian deeply remembered this voice; it was from the Luomann Country person who accidentally made him escape last time, the gray-robed man.
"Hahaha, that's right. It seems that you still remember me." The voice on the other end of the phone became awkward. That voice just now was all an act.
"What do you want?" Lee Hongtian didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he directly asked.
It seemed like Zhou Yafei had been captured by the gray-robed man.
If Lee Hongtian didn't guess wrongly, the other party wanted to use Zhou Yafei to threaten him and force him to hand over that famous painting.
"Mr. Lee, your lover is in my hands now. If you want her to return safely to your side, then obediently listen to me, otherwise …" Hehe, then don't blame me for not showing mercy. " The grey robed man told Lee Hongtian with a sinister smile.
"Heh, are you threatening me?" Lee Hongtian sneered.
"You can say that, Mr. Lee. I think you should understand the situation. Now is not the time for you to negotiate the terms with me." The grey robed man said mockingly. Since Zhou Yafei was in his hands, he definitely wanted to use Zhou Yafei to threaten Lee Hongtian.
Lee Hongtian's face also turned dark after hearing that.
Indeed, what the grey robed man said was right. Right now, he didn't have the ability to negotiate with him. No matter what Lee Hongtian did, he had to consider Zhou Yafei's safety.
Even if something happened to him, he wouldn't let Zhou Yafei get hurt, or else he would go back on his promise.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Then, Lee Hongtian asked the man in grey.
"Very good, I like straightforward people. Mr. Lee, I know that you have the famous painting taken by your lover earlier. As long as you hand the famous painting to me, I will return your lover to you. This should be a very good exchange of benefits, right?" Hearing Lee Hongtian compromise, the grey robed man suggested to Lee Hongtian.
Ever since Lee Hongtian had ruined his plans, the gray-robed man's heart was filled with hatred towards Lee Hongtian.
Plus, Lee Hongtian had killed all of his men a while ago, so he was the only one left.
Thus, after he disappeared that time, the gray-robed man had been lurking in the Linhai City, looking for opportunities to deal with Lee Hongtian.
Since Lee Hongtian wasn't by Zhou Yafei's side, he knew that the opportunity had come. He decided to make a move on Zhou Yafei and use her to threaten Lee Hongtian.
Of course, blackmailing Lee Hongtian was only the first step, getting a famous painting was the second step, he still wanted to get rid of Lee Hongtian and take revenge for his subordinates.1
However, he did not know what kind of opponent he was facing, nor did he know that he was crawling on the edge of a blade.
Lee Hongtian's blade was already hanging above the gray-robed man's head. It was just that the time wasn't right yet.
