Chapter 20 Section 19

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Leting was awakened by the rapid ringtone of her mobile phone. For a moment, she lost all sleepiness and immediately realized who made the call.When I looked at the caller ID, it was as it should be—Dean Ge. Wu Leting's heart skipped a beat, the time displayed on the phone was 8:10 in the morning - Dean Ge went to the hospital so early?He had gone to Dinon's room to see it?Did he guess something was going to happen? Wu Leting answered the phone nervously. "Hello, Wu Leting?" Dean Ge's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. "Where are you!?"

"What's the matter, Dean Ge?" Wu Leting asked tentatively. There was a sigh on the other end of the phone, followed by Dean Ge's impatient voice. "Okay, Wu Leting, stop pretending. I already know what's going on. I should have guessed it a long time ago! I heard the two of you whispering in the room yesterday, so I should have thought what you were discussing! I returned last night Since I got home, I have been restless and always have an ominous premonition. I went to Di Nong's room early this morning to check, and it really happened! Well, now I don't blame you, Wu Leting. I just I hope you hand over that 'thing' to me immediately!"

Wu Leting held her phone, her lips tightened as she listened to the dean's words.She hesitated for a moment, and decided to open the skylight to him. "Okay, Dean Ge, I won't hide it from you. The 'thing' you want is indeed in my hands." "Very good, very good! Wu Leting." His voice was extremely excited. "Tell me where you are now, and I'll come and get it right away." "Why should I give it to you?" Wu Leting asked. "It's useless for you to hold it, trust me, it's worthless to you!" "Then what's the use for you to take it?"

"You don't need to know this, Wu Leting—we have an appointment. If Dinon dies, you must inform me as soon as possible." "Yes. But it didn't say that I must give you something. This thing was given to me by Di Lao." "But he told you to destroy it, right?" Dean Ge became nervous. "You must not do this! You didn't do it!?" "Not yet." Wu Leting realized that she had the initiative. "But if you don't have a good enough reason to convince me to keep it, I can only destroy it." There was a moment of silence on the phone.Dean Ge's tone of voice suddenly became fierce. "Listen, Wu Leting, you are not qualified to bargain with me. You are very aware of your current situation. If I call the police, the situation will only be against you!"

Wu Leting guessed that Dean Ge was just threatening her.She said: "Okay, then you should call the police. If the police intervene in this matter, let me see if you can still get this 'thing'. And, to remind you, Dean Ge, I have evidence to prove that—you used Dinon was secretly imprisoned for thirteen years with authority and methods. If you are not afraid of these things being exposed, just call the police.” As soon as these words came out, Dean Ge's tone softened immediately.He actually begged: "Yes... I'm sorry, Wu Leting. It's my fault, I take back what I just said. I beg you, give it to me... It's almost twelve hours, no later If you do, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Before Wu Leting could speak, he continued, "As long as you give me this thing, I'll give you a million! Okay? Please!" Wu Leting pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said: "If you want me to give you this thing, just tell me, what's going on with all this? What's the use of this thing to you?" There was another brief silence. "...Okay, I'll tell you, but I can't make it clear on the phone. Tell me your address, and I'll come and talk to you in person, okay?" Wu Leting could tell that this was a tactic he used to delay the attack in an extremely urgent situation.She wondered if she should trust him.

Dean Ge said anxiously: "Tell me the address! I'll come right over with one million dollars! Please!" Wu Leting frowned deeply. After she pondered again, she said, "Well, I'll think about it. Then I'll contact you." After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the dean to speak again, and then quickly turned off the phone. Wu Leting let out a sigh of relief.She could imagine that Dean Ge must be very anxious now. However, she did need to stop and think.One million, this is not a small temptation for anyone.But Wu Leting hasn't reached the point where she's so overwhelmed.She believed that Dean Ge said this number casually, just like promising to tell her the truth, just to trick herself into giving her address.If he really came here, he might snatch it up, or even do something even more terrifying...

Wu Leting has no doubts now that Dean Ge will do anything to get this "thing". In addition, Wu Leting noticed that a piece of information was inadvertently revealed in what Dean Ge said just now. It was almost twelve hours. Looking at it now, the reason for his great anxiety was obviously that he wanted to use Dinon's head for something.And it's time-limited. Wu Leting frowned.What on earth should I do?Do you want to take some measures?Or... on this matter, is there anyone who can help me out? Suddenly, she thought of someone. Lindy! By the way, Dr. Ling Di and I are both people who signed that special contract, and we can be regarded as "alliance comrades in arms".We have made an appointment before, and we can communicate about this privately.

Wu Leting found Ling Di's number in the phone book.Before making the call, she hesitated again—this matter was too terrifying and bizarre, would Ling Di believe what I said?Would it be wise to tell him this? After hesitating for a moment, Wu Leting thought that there was no other choice, Ling Di was the only one who was still involved in this matter, so she could only consult with him. The phone got through.Wu Leting heard Ling Di's listless voice: "Hello, Wu Leting?" "Yes, Dr. Ling, are you in the hospital now?" He pondered for a moment. "No, I'm at home. I don't work at that hospital anymore."

"Huh? Why?" "...I was fired." Wu Leting cried out. "You were fired too? Was it yesterday?" Ling Di seemed a little surprised. "What? Could it be...you were fired too?" "Yes! But I didn't expect you to be like me." Ling Di was silent for a moment. "It appears that the two of us who were connected to Dinon were fired on the same day." Wu Leting is now very convinced that Ling Di is on the same side as her.She said urgently: "Doctor Ling, I was just about to tell you about Mr. Di. This incident is really...unbelievable. But I hope you can believe what I say and give me some advice .I really don't know what to do now!"

"Don't worry, speak slowly, what happened?" Wu Leting shook her head slowly. "I'm afraid I can't make it clear on the phone. Can you come to me now?" "Okay, where are you?" Wu Leting told him her address. "It will take 40 minutes at the fastest from my house to your place, if there is no traffic jam." Ling Di said, "I'll come here as soon as possible, okay?" "Okay, thank you, Dr. Ling." Wu Leting hung up the phone and let out a soft breath.She got out of bed, took a quick shower in the bathroom, and walked into the hall.The dark leather bag containing Dinon's head was in its place.Wu Leting thought about it, picked up the leather bag, and hid it under the bed. After that, she went out and ate something casually at the breakfast shop downstairs.She calculated that Ling Di would still be here for a while, so she planned to go to a nearby hairdresser to have her hair washed.Whenever she feels tense, a gentle head massage always relaxes her a lot. While washing her hair, an idea occurred to her.
