Chapter 919 - 931
Chapter 919: Chapter 931
"Hello?" Lin Xi answered the phone.
This call came from the United Kingdom, so he certainly had to speak English.
Moreover, his English is very standard, even more so than the local Brits.
This kind of standard English usually only appears among the British nobility.
At the same time, he immediately sensed the person on the other end was shocked, seeming to wonder if they dialed the wrong number.
Lin Xi quickly said, "Can you speak Chinese?"
Otherwise, if he kept using English, it might make the caller think they dialed the wrong number.
After all, the call came in with at least some understanding of him.
Otherwise, there’s no chance of getting a single penny back for the phone bill!
Or perhaps there’s a possibility that the scammer itself is domestic, just using an international phone number.
"Did you dial the wrong number?"
"No, that jerk gave this number!"
"Why don’t you check again?"
"Alright!"
A moment later, Lin Xi heard two voices coming from the other end.
"That’s right, it’s this number!"
"Then why is it a foreigner?"
"How would I know!"
"Why not hang up and try again?"
"Alright!"
Beep beep beep beep...
The sound of the call being disconnected came from the other end.
Lin Xi, "..."
Less than ten seconds later, the same number called again.
Without hesitation, he answered, because from the voices he heard just now, he already recognized them as Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi.
Dili Bare, the hottest ultra-beautiful actress who’s not just a vase, her acting skills are terrifyingly good. She recently won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.
Xie Ziqi, the hottest powerhouse singer, if it weren’t for her debut being less than two years ago, she might already be considered a Celestial Queen Level artist.
The two have been on a global tour recently.
Of course, Dili Bare is accompanying Xie Ziqi.
Why are these two calling him?
Logically, they’re abroad having fun, they shouldn’t think of him.
Plus, from the voices he could tell, there was a hint of nervousness and fear in them.
Could something have happened?
At this moment, he wasn’t in the mood to joke with the two women.
So before the two could speak, he took the lead and said, "You didn’t dial wrong, this is my number!"
"Go ahead, what’s the matter?"
Surprised and overjoyed sounds immediately came from the other end, followed by Dili Bare’s voice, seemingly tinged with a hint of doubt, "You know who we are?"
Bear in mind, this number isn’t their domestic one; it belongs to a staff member from the organizer.
So Lin Xi didn’t know this number at all.
But from the brief words, he seemed to know who they were!
That’s too miraculous!
If it’s not that miraculous, then the person on the other end isn’t Lin Xi, definitely a scammer.
Hmm, cheating them for call costs.
But, the scammer guessed wrong, they’re not the type to care about call costs.
Next moment, she asked, "You know who we are?"
"And how did you know we encountered trouble?"
Xie Ziqi leaned in over from the side, evidently sharing the same doubts as Bare.
"Nonsense!" Lin Xi couldn’t help but want to curse this stupid woman.
Last time there was an actor around Dili Bare who kept secretly poisoning her, and she unknowingly treated the person as a respectful senior.
If it weren’t for meeting him!
She’d probably be disfigured now.
"Why don’t you speak properly, why get so angry?" Dili Bare was a bit annoyed.
Lin Xi said, "First, only a few people actually know my number!"
"Second, even someone slightly aware of entertainment news knows you’re touring in the United Kingdom!"
"Third, I barely know anyone in the UK!"
"Fourth, both of your voices are so distinctive, I’m not deaf!"
"Fifth,..."
"...."
He listed eight or nine points in one go, leaving the two on the line bewildered.
"Is it really that easy to recognize?"
But they also affirmed that this person isn’t a scammer, but Lin Xi whom they know.
Hmm, he’s still so annoying!!!!
"Can’t you just talk nicely?"
"Saying so much, acting all capable."
"Besides, if you hadn’t spoken English to us first would we have misunderstood?"
"And why is your English so standard?"
"Could you actually be a foreigner?"
Lin Xi shook his head, couldn’t help but say, "Silly girl, can’t people from Huaxia have such standards?"
"Besides, compared to our Chinese, English is actually an extremely simple language."
"You’re calling me silly!!!"
"What do you think?"
"You..."
Evidently, this conversation couldn’t go on.
So he heard Xie Ziqi sigh on the other end and took the phone from Dili Bare, saying, "Mr. Lin, we called because we really were left no choice!"
"We encountered danger here!"
"Even our company has no solutions, as for people outside the company, though there are some powerful people, they all want something from us!"
"Moreover, they may not be able to solve the issue here."
"Ultimately, we really had no other option, so we reached out to you!"
"..."
After quite a while, Xie Ziqi’s voice stopped, Lin Xi contemplated for a moment and replied, "You should’ve contacted me sooner!"
"Fortunately, nothing’s happened yet!"
Xie Ziqi sighed, she and Dili Bare hadn’t anticipated things developing to this point.
"Don’t go out today, if they pressure you, find an excuse to stall, I’ll probably arrive tonight!"
"Alright, alright, thank you, Mr. Lin!" Xie Ziqi expressed her gratitude.
As Lin Xi hung up the phone, he heard Dili Bare vaguely ask if his coming would truly be of any use, and if he really could arrive tonight.
He didn’t hear Xie Ziqi’s response.
But he guessed, even though Xie Ziqi’s words were firm, she perhaps wasn’t fully confident in him.
Regarding the trouble the two women encountered in the UK, it involves a local gang’s young lord who inadvertently attended one of Xie Ziqi’s concerts and discovered Dili Bare.
He was instantly captivated by Dili Bare’s beauty.
The subsequent storyline is quite familiar.
He first stuck to the two like glue, then when ignored, sent word that if Dili Bare didn’t spend time with him for two days, she’d find it difficult to leave London.
Or rather, unable to leave the hotel.
The hotel they’re staying at has shares owned by the gang’s young lord’s family.
Hence, their every move is under his watch.
Faced with this situation, the two women initially reported to the organizer and Xie Ziqi’s company representatives.
But none could help.
They sought help from many friends as well, who all expressed inability.
As for reporting to the police or embassy, it wasn’t a good solution, they were warned again that doing so would worsen the situation beyond two-day companionship.
There’s even a danger to their lives!
In the face of helplessness, Xie Ziqi thought of Lin Xi.
In Chuzhou City, Lin Xi left an incredibly deep impression on her.
Seemingly, this man was omnipotent!
So with a glimmer of hope, she called Lin Xi.
Unexpectedly, from his extremely calm tone, he appeared to have a solution!
