When the Phone Rings

Part 19

From the beginning, his eyes were locked on her.The sharp eyes like raptors seemed to penetrate Xizhu's face."Hong Xizhu, you seem to be very familiar with the hotel."His deep pupils stared at her coldly.Hee Joo is indeed very familiar with the hotel because she follows her step-sister, who is the third chaebol, everywhere.She nodded obediently, and the man's expression immediately turned gloomy."Very familiar, isn't it?"He repeated it as if chewing the words....Yes, I am very familiar with it!She nodded vigorously again.Bai Siyan seemed to be holding back something, clenching his back teeth several times.Xizhu silently looked at his protruding and disappearing jawline, and then followed him into the spacious guest room.hall.This is a penthouse suite with a panoramic view of Seoul."You're done crying, can we talk now?"His voice was full of displeasure.

Are you going to talk about the kidnappers?Bai Siyan just held the lighter and kept turning it on and off, but didn't speak.But his face was still as cold as ice."There are no signs that your phone has been hacked."He finally closed the lighter and put Xizhu's mobile phone on the large wooden desk.'Of course. 'Hee Joo was not surprised.The photo of the garter belt was taken on the kidnapper's cell phone.The phone she originally used should be clean.There were not many contacts saved in the phone. At most, they were exaggerated short messages sent by Director Han Jun.letter."But some suspicious traces were found."......What?"Han Jun, what does this guy do?"

"...!""Every sentence screamed 'honey, darling'."......What?Bai Siyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he was interpreting her confused expression."sit down."He pulled up his chair and ordered."Sit down and answer me on your keyboard.""...!""We need to have a good talk from now on."...Isn't this an interrogation?"Not an interrogation."Bai Siyan clicked his tongue and retorted.He once said he couldn't read minds, but it seemed that was just a lie."Not long ago, someone started threatening me. They not only targeted my car, my officeRooms, even my father's nursing home are not spared, of course you are also in danger. ""...."

"So, I will not let go of anyone who is suspicious."Is this... suspicious of the center director?What Bai Siyan said made sense, but it was also biased. The person who threatens is Hee Joo, but the one who supports her behind the scenes isKidnapper. This ingenious division of labor gave Xizhu a headache.She sat helplessly on the big executive chair, and soon her answer filled the white screen."Uncle Han Jun is the director of the sign language interpretation center.""Uncle?"He seized on the word immediately."I've called him that since he was little.""When you were little?""After the car accident, about nine years old, right?"Bai Siyan was silent for a while."You call him that in sign language?""....""What about me -"His words suddenly became slow, making Xizhu stiffen.

"Whether it's with your hands or your mouth, you never called me once. Then why can you tolerate an old man?"Call you 'honey'?"The cold voice made her shiver. Xizhu hurriedly typed on the keyboard."He's not an old man...""Stop talking nonsense. How can you not be an old man with a difference of twelve years? The difference of six years is already huge.Already, twelve years old——"His brows suddenly frowned."Hong Xizhu, wake up. For a weak and stupid person like you, who else but me will touch you?Where has your vigilance gone?"Xizhu's face turned stiff.How does he know the age of Director Han Jun? And six years is the age difference between her and Bai Siyan.This made her even more dissatisfied.Those who have known Hee Joo for a long time always treat her as a child. She is almost thirty years oldAlready...!"At least it shouldn't leave any traces."Wait a moment......

Is he talking about the garter picture?"It seems I underestimated Hong Hee Joo."He wrapped one hand around the supervisor's chair and leaned forward. His warm breath fell on her ear."When did that little girl with the yellow schoolbag grow so big?"He slammed his fist on the table."Hong Xizhu, have you received sex education?""...!"Hee Joo jumped up from her chair."What are you talking about!""I'm asking as a legal guardian. Did you learn it in school or hearsay?"Having such a conversation with Bai Siyan made her feel terribly embarrassed, and her face almost burned."Learned it at school...""Taught by the school doctor?"

"No, a foreign lecturer...""Then ask the experts to learn it again this time.""What?""Learn again."There seemed to be swear words in his words, but Xizhu, who was already delirious, did not hear it."I don't care about your personal life. But Hong Hee Joo-"He lit the lighter again and whispered."Don't get involved with those guys from unknown origins.""...!"Bai Siyan turned the chair, grabbed the armrest, leaned forward, and met her eyes."I can force you to talk, tell me about the things you did in the past, the people you met, and those childish behaviorsAll revealed one by one. ""..."

"But I won't do that, no, Hong Hee Joo."His pupils gradually closed, as if he had become a complete stranger."Because we have nothing to do with each other.""...!""We are not a couple. I will not have this illusion.""...""I won't do anything else."He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth."So stop asking."When he opened his eyes again, all emotion had disappeared.The indifference that Xizhu had always been afraid of was spreading ruthlessly in his eyes."Don't be too presumptuous.""...!"

"Even if you are not a couple, it is not difficult to teach children a lesson. If you don't want to be controlled by everyone,Just be careful with your actions. ""...""One more time, I will let you stand naked in front of me."Bai Siyan left the stiff Xizhu behind and walked straight to the balcony.He was just chewing on the cigarette, but then he finally lit the filter.Smoke rose fiercely and spread in the air.'It seems that photo really upset him. 'But if he's really that disgusted...Why not just throw it away...Is it worth torturing people like this?Xizhu's face was as pale as a ghost, staring at the clock on the wall.In order to maintain the superficial relationship between husband and wife, do we really have to trample on people's self-esteem?She hated this humiliation and was unwilling to endure his frosty coldness.Xizhu's face gradually showed a hint of cruelty as she stared at the clock.

'I hope the night comes soon...'She no longer fears prison and injustice.The numb emotions after being severely beaten made her fearless.She frantically wanted to call.She clenched her fists, not knowing how long it had been.Someone broke the silence and rang the doorbell."...!"But Bai Siyan didn't react. In desperation, she knocked on the balcony window.'Someone is coming. 'She pouted and pointed to the door. Even though he knew exactly what she meant, he just continued to be cruelHe smoked cigarettes and his cheeks became sunken.Then, he approached the glass window and blew a long puff of smoke into Hee Joo's face.Transparent smoke obscured her vision.'This bastard!'Xizhu slapped the glass window hard with her palm. Bai Siyan sneered and put the cigarette butt on her lipsGo out nearby.'...!'

Even through the glass, she felt humiliated and her cheeks were hot.The moment the cigarette butt was flattened, she could see it clearly.Then, he walked in as if nothing had happened, passed Xizhu directly, and opened the hotel door.Soon after, an old gentleman with gray hair walked in."Calling me this old man comes and goes...""You're late."The place where he walked was filled with the pungent smell of smoke.When she was about twelve years old, she saw him smoking while wearing a neat school uniform, and was scolded severely by him.He gave her a pause and told her to shut up.Since that day, she has never smelled this smell again.Bai Siyan stepped aside and motioned for the old man to come in. The old man's eyes widened."Oh, what a lovely girl."

Xizhu, who was standing aside, bowed awkwardly."I asked him to take some nutritional supplements, but he didn't even listen to me...""Please beat him until he cries.""It's rare for him to call me...""Old sir, stop talking nonsense...""But you took away all the expensive nutritional supplements from our hospital?!"Xizhu wanted to leave quickly, but was immediately blocked by Bai Siyan.Then, she was naturally taken into the bedroom, where she lay down in a hazy state and received the nutrition the doctor gave her.Needle.Maybe she was really tired, Xizhu fell asleep after a while. As the sound gradually fades away,She fell into sleep completely.'Ah...it feels so warm. '

A rough hand gently brushed her hair.A cool hand gently caressed her forehead.She wanted to open her eyes, but her heavy eyelids couldn't move at all.As a result, Hee Joo was lost in the tangle of nervous phone calls and time while thinking over and over again.In a dream.
