There were missed calls from Dawn, John, Shi Nian, Liang Han, Lily the maid… and the list went on.
Xi Cheng dialed Shi Nian's number. The doorbell rang right when Shi Nian picked up. "Where are you?" Xi Cheng could hear Shi Nian ask urgently as he opened the door at the same time.
John's blood-covered figure, face bruised and swollen, tumbled on him. "John! Who did this? Who beat you up like this?" Xi Cheng went to help John up, and his phone slid to the ground.
"Xi Cheng!" Shi Nian's voice blared from the floor. "Where are you? Are you currently in danger? Say something!"
John leaned against the wall and strugglingly sat up. He agitatedly said, "Boss! You sold the company! You sold ALL of them! Why? WHY?"
John began to cry. His tears mixed with blood made pink trails down his cheeks. Xi Cheng couldn't believe his eyes and ears. He heard John's every word clearly but couldn't make head nor tail of what he was saying.
