Chapter 1791: The Evil God Is Back Again!
"Honorable Evil God, it’s a privilege to speak with you today."
A stranger’s voice emanated from the cellphone.
The cellphone number was clearly Catherine’s, but after connecting, it was a man’s voice speaking. Xiao Zheng thought of a certain possibility, and his gaze instantly turned icy cold.
"Who are you? Where is Catherine?"
Xiao Zheng conversed in fluent English with the person on the other end of the line.
Upon hearing this, the man first chuckled and then said, "No need to worry, Evil God. Your capable assistant is currently a guest at my house. As the host, I will definitely ’take care’ of her."
When he said ’take care,’ his tone was particularly emphasized.
Xiao Zheng seemed oblivious to this, responding coldly, "It better be so. If anything happens to Catherine, I will ensure you die a miserable death."
"Haha, worthy of being the Evil God, even your words are amusing," the man continued, "but I must remind you, I’m not very good-tempered and have a rather peculiar character, I can’t stand threats."
"If you don’t want anything to happen to Lady Catherina, you’d better speak to me politely in the future."
His tone became thoroughly arrogant at this point.
Xiao Zheng remained unfazed, sneering as he said, "What if I threaten you? I already said, if anything happens to Catherine, I’ll make sure you and your companions accompany her in the grave."
"I will avenge her, and with the most ferocious means!"
"If you don’t believe me, you can try me!"
Xiao Zheng’s temper has always been unyielding. The mysterious person on the other end dared ignorantly to threaten him, so naturally, Xiao Zheng responded unfavourably.
The mysterious person clearly didn’t expect such a firm stance from Xiao Zheng.
After nearly a minute of silence, he finally spoke, "Evil God indeed lives up to the reputation. In that case, I won’t waste words. If you want to rescue Catherine, come to Xide Valley in Europe. I will await your visit, Evil God."
After saying this, the mysterious person didn’t give Xiao Zheng a chance to speak, abruptly hanging up the call.
Xiao Zheng put down the cellphone, his heart filled with a sharp intent to kill.
He actually had a premonition about Catherine’s trouble yesterday but had never gotten confirmation, leaving him with a trace of luck. However, that trace vanished entirely with the mysterious person’s call.
"Europe, huh? Hopefully, this doesn’t involve the Blood Clan."
Xiao Zheng looked down at the cellphone, but the image of Hades still flashed in his mind.
But soon, he shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts. He then dressed and prepared to wash up to leave the hotel.
After finishing washing up, his cellphone rang again.
This time, it was Long Qie calling.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Zheng heard Long Qie’s anxious voice, "Mr. Xiao, something bad has happened! Catherine really has been in trouble! Our informant in Europe reports traces of a struggle at Catherine’s residence! And Catherine, she’s nowhere to be found!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng replied, "I just heard about it too. Catherine is indeed in trouble, and she has already been taken to Europe."
"You already know? Who told you? I only just found out..." Long Qie said, puzzled.
Without hiding it, Xiao Zheng explained, "The kidnapper used Catherine’s cellphone to call me earlier, saying if I want to rescue Catherine, I should come to Europe to find him."
"The kidnapper actually contacted you voluntarily? Could there be a trap?" Long Qie’s expression turned serious as he spoke earnestly.
He, like Mo Anna, found it hard to forget about Xiao Zheng’s injury and amnesia before.
"Even if there’s a trap, I must go to Europe myself," Xiao Zheng said. "Catherine has been with me for so many years, I can’t just watch her fall into harm’s way."
"Then I’ll go with you!" Long Qie said without hesitation.
However, without thinking, Xiao Zheng refused, "No, you can’t come with me. The rescue mission this time is enough for me alone. Sky Net still has many matters waiting for you to handle; you can’t leave."
"But..." Long Qie grew anxious.
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Zheng interrupted, "No buts. I’ve decided. You only need to follow orders. Help me take care of home, that’s the greatest help to me."
Hearing his final words, Long Qie gave up the idea of going abroad with him.
Sighing, Long Qie said, "I can stay, but you must promise me not to endanger yourself. If something happens to you, you know what consequences would follow."
Xiao Zheng nodded, "I certainly know the consequences, so you don’t need to worry about me. I’m actually more afraid of death than you all imagine."
Eventually, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
However, Long Qie could not smile, his heart filled with bitterness and anxiety.
After a brief chat, Xiao Zheng hung up the call. After ending the call with Long Qie, he drove to the Qianqiu Group. Leng Ruobing, this time, didn’t go to a meeting but stayed in her office.
Upon meeting, Xiao Zheng quickly revealed his intentions.
Knowing that he was heading to Europe again, Leng Ruobing was also filled with concern. But she didn’t stop Xiao Zheng like Long Qie nor insisted on accompanying him, she just reminded him to be cautious while out.
The reason Leng Ruobing didn’t stop Xiao Zheng was that she knew in her heart that Xiao Zheng was always loyal and committed to his friends. Whether it’s Catherine in trouble or anyone else, Xiao Zheng would never stand by idly.
"During the days I am away, you and Xiao Ran remember not to run around."
"If you sense danger, remember to call Long Qie. I vaguely feel that Catherine’s kidnapping isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface, and I worry the mysterious person might also target you."
Xiao Zheng said.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruobing nodded, "Rest assured, Xiao Ran and I will definitely take good care of ourselves. It’s already late, you should hurry up and leave. I’ll help you arrange a private jet to take you to Europe as quickly as possible."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her cellphone to arrange for the private jet.
About an hour later, Xiao Zheng boarded a private jet bound for Europe.
Europe!
I, the Evil God, have returned!
