"Beep...beep...beep..."
The long dial tone echoed in the empty and silent darkness, paused for a long time, and then started ringing again.
Perhaps it is the only sound between heaven and earth. As time goes by, it becomes more and more abrupt, accompanied by negative emotions such as anxiety and harshness.
It rang more than ten times in a row, and finally turned into a rush of busy sounds.
The middle-aged man with flowing silver hair and a majestic face looked at the gradually dimming screen, frowned slightly, and dialed again.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The long dial tone sounded again, one after another, like a mud cow entering the sea and disappearing into nothingness.
The flow of time became extremely slow, and the sound became more and more sharp and harsh. Every time it rings, it adds to the annoyance.
More than a dozen tones passed, and it turned into a rapid busy tone again.
Bai Wancheng didn't speak and silently redialled, but half a minute passed and the only response he got was a busy signal with no answer.
"Maybe he's busy..."
Bai Wancheng murmured, as if talking to himself or explaining to Chen Xing.
"Would you like to try Baiye Liufang's?" Chen Xing suggested.
But he saw Bai Wancheng's whole body stiffened, his neck twisted like a rusty machine, little by little, and his two tiger eyes stared at Chen Xing, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Seeing that something big was about to happen, Chen Xing quickly waved his hands and denied, "Bai Ye Liufang was promoted by her sister and has nothing to do with me."
Obviously, if the other party knew that his two daughters had been harmed by him, he would probably tear his heart out on the spot.
What is a white lie? This is a white lie!
"I guess they are together now." Worried that the other party would become suspicious, Chen Xing added another explanation.
Bai Wancheng glanced at him suspiciously, but seemed to find no flaws, and returned his eyes to the black watch. Probably because he had confidence in his second daughter, he didn't say anything else.
Chen Xing couldn't help but sweat for himself. He was glad that he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he might have died on the spot due to Grand Duke Bai Ye's rage.
Of course, you can’t blame others. The daughter who had worked so hard to raise her was so good that she melted in the palm of her hand, but someone killed two birds with one stone and got pregnant at the same time. If you are not angry, then there is a problem.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
"Dudududu!"
Just as Chen Xing expected, no one answered Baiye Liufang's side.
"Um?"
Bai Wancheng showed a puzzled expression, and then dialed his second daughter's voice again. But after ringing more than a dozen times, there was still no answer.
As the busy tone sounded, Bai Wancheng's eyebrows knitted into knots. Obviously, he also noticed something unusual.
As a royal family, family affairs are state affairs and are related to the great cause of the country. It is extremely rare for a princess to not answer the communication from her father, let alone two princesses not to answer the call at the same time. Unless something unexpected happened, he wouldn't be so negligent.
"How about trying to contact someone else, someone who can pass the message, such as Finance Minister Jed Eisen, or Foreign Minister Earl Mark?"
Bai Wancheng looked up at Chen Xing, as if trying to find some flaw on his face.
"It's just a voice call, there is no danger." Chen Xing said, "The worst result is to waste a few minutes of your time."
"Not even a few minutes?"
Bai Wancheng was still hesitating, so Chen Xing said again, "Don't you care about the situation of your two daughters?"
Finally, Bai Wancheng made a concession when it came to his daughter's safety.
He first called the number of Finance Minister Jed Eisen, but no one answered. Then he called the number of Foreign Minister Mark Earl, but no one answered.
Bai Wancheng's expression became extremely solemn, something must be wrong when something goes wrong, and he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
He is the head of a principality and a legendary strongman, and has special privileges on the Mingwang.
It can be said that this situation of calling seven or eight numbers in a row and getting no answer is unprecedented.
Seeing that the time was right, Chen Xing immediately hit the snake on the stick and asked, "Do you know why?"
Bai Wancheng looked at Chen Xing with a questioning look, and the latter continued:
"If I told you now that I was targeted by the mastermind and caused a series of misunderstandings, which led to the current situation, would you believe it?"
Bai Wancheng showed a stunned expression. Faced with such absurd and almost deceptive rhetoric, he fell into deep thought.
"My communications have been cut off, and whoever has anything to do with me will be targeted!"
"The purpose of the mastermind is to turn me into an information island, so that I can't contact the outside world, and I am trapped in a small area, unable to respond."
"Do you have evidence?" Bai Wancheng asked calmly. Rather than saying there was something wrong with the mastermind, he believed more that this was a lie made up by Chen Xing in order to escape.
But everything that happened in front of him made him believe that there was an invisible force interfering with them.
"You can try calling the Queen's number, if you get the same result
, can prove what I said. "Chen Xing said.
Bai Wancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him warily.
"How long do you plan to trap me?" Chen Xing asked again, "Ten days and a half month, or half a year, a year, ten years, can you trap me for a lifetime?"
"I can tell you responsibly that as long as the Queen cannot contact me for a month, she will come out to find me personally. At that time, how are you going to face it?"
Bai Wancheng looked at Chen Xing several times, and after some struggle, dialed the number of the Queen of Ice Blue City.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The lonely dial tone echoed in the silent darkness, but there was still no answer.
"The Grand Duke of White Night, the master of Liuying and Blind God..." Chen Xing said solemnly, "Perhaps you are standing at the crossroads of the times now."
“No matter what choice you make, it will have a profound impact on the future of the Ambergris River and the future of the world.”
"Let me go before the situation becomes irreversible."
Chen Xing's eyes were intense and his tone was sincere, and he almost stepped forward to hold the other person's hand.
"this……"
Bai Wancheng looked troubled, obviously hesitant about Chen Xing's words.
Seeing that the other party was wavering, Chen Xing quickly added fire and said, "Dear father-in-law..."
"Although I have some bad rumors outside, I assure you..."
"I love Liufang... no... I love Fenghua sincerely..."
"Did you just mention Liufang?" Bai Wancheng stared at Chen Xing with wide eyes and some disbelief.
"It's the first time I'm talking to my father-in-law. I can't help but feel a little nervous. I said something wrong. Really, I said something wrong..." Chen Xing nodded, his eyes extremely sincere.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Wancheng finally nodded, "Okay..."
Then with a wave of his hand, the fireflies all over the sky turned into a huge vortex, gathered towards the center, and finally disappeared into the wormhole in space.
The pitch-black darkness gradually faded away, revealing the original appearance of the world - clear skies, gentle wind and sunny weather.
With threats, analysis and explanations, and family cards, Chen Xing finally convinced Grand Duke Bai Ye with his sharp tongue.
"Father-in-law, we'll see you later."
Chen Xing waved his hand, jumped on the bus, then turned his head, lowered his voice and ordered to the driver, "Drive!"
Go as soon as you can, lest you have long nights and many dreams. If the other party goes back on his word, he cannot leave even if he wants to.
