Chapter 64 An Unexpected Phone Call

Xia Tian was completely unaware of the news that a big shot from Beijing was about to personally visit M City. At this moment, he had already returned to his shared apartment, preparing to rest properly before going to work at the Tonight No Home Bar.

Inside the room, Xia Tian tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The reason was simple: he was the one who caused the murder in M ​​City, which had aroused the suspicion of the Chinese National Security Bureau, which had begun to investigate the matter. Xia Tian was worried that sooner or later, clues would be revealed, and then there would be endless trouble.

Unless absolutely necessary, Xia Tian is unwilling to stand against the Chinese government, because if he does, he will have to live as a fugitive and never have peace again.

Just as he was racking his brains in the summer without any results, an unexpected call came in on his phone, pulling him back to reality.

The caller ID showed Ma Hao, Xia Tian's high school classmate and best friend.

"Hello!" Xia Tian took a deep breath, composed herself, and then pressed the answer button.

Xia Tian still valued Ma Hao, his only friend and best buddy from high school, otherwise he wouldn't have planned to find a suitable time to meet with him to discuss the construction project on the land in the western suburbs of M City.

Xia Tian planned to hand over the entire multi-million dollar project to Ma Hao, partly as a way of helping out this friend who had once stood behind him and protected him...

"Summer, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bother you at this time, but I have no choice." As soon as the call connected, Ma Hao's apologetic voice came through.

"Alright, Rat, why are you being so polite with me? Stop talking nonsense. If there's anything I can help you with, I definitely will!" Xia Tian said with a laugh into the microphone. This kid has only been gone for a short time, and he's already starting to be so polite with him.

What Xia Tian didn't know was that after that high school reunion, his high school classmate and best friend had already regarded Xia Tian as a big shot with millions in his heart, so how could he treat him with the friendship they once had?

As the saying goes, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain."

Interactions between people are nothing more than close connections established based on interests. True friends will offer help when you are in trouble and do everything they can to help you through the crisis, and will be silently proud of you when you achieve fame and fortune.

"Here's the thing, my family arranged a blind date for me before the New Year. After more than half a year of getting to know each other, the girl and I felt that we were a good match, so we planned to get married this year. However, the girl's family asked me to buy a house and a car in the city, and they also wanted a dowry of 200,000 yuan." Ma Hao quickly explained the whole story.

"How much do you need?" Xia Tian asked immediately, sensing the anxiety in Ma Hao's tone. She could also hear some gossip coming from the other end of the phone, suggesting that a number of people had gathered around Ma Hao.

"I'm planning to take out a loan to cover the house and car issues." On the other end of the phone, Ma Hao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Could you lend me 200,000 yuan? Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as possible!"

"Whether you pay it back or not is a small matter. Tell me where you are now, and I'll bring it to you." Xia Tian shook his head. He knew that his best friend from high school must have had no other choice but to ask him for money.

"Thanks, brother! But I'll come to you myself. I'm already very grateful that you lent me the money, how could I let you come all the way here?" On the other end of the phone, Ma Hao was overjoyed to see that Xia Tian had agreed to lend him the money, and he quickly said.

Xia Tian smiled wryly to himself upon hearing this, and then said, "Why are you being so polite with me? Besides, I happen to need to talk to you. So, just tell me your location and I'll head over right away."

"Alright then, I'm getting engaged at a hotel in Qingshan Town now. The hotel is called Piaoxiang Restaurant." On the other end of the phone, Ma Hao quickly said, "Call me when you get to Qingshan Town, and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay," Xia Tian said casually, then hung up Ma Hao's phone and immediately dialed Bald Qiang's number.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, what are your instructions?" The respectful voice of Bald Qiang came from the other end of the phone.

Xia Tian said calmly, "Prepare one million in cash right now, then drive over and pick me up. We'll go out and take care of some business."

"Don't worry, Master Xia, Xiao Qiang will set off immediately." Bald Qiang hurriedly said, "By the way, Master Xia, do you have any requirements for the vehicles? There happen to be several luxury business cars worth tens of millions in the club's parking lot."

In Bald Qiang's view, since Xia Tian was going out to do business, he had to make a grand entrance. After taking over Ye Tianlong's businesses, there happened to be several luxury business cars that Ye Tianlong used to drive that were currently idle.

"Bald Qiang, are you just bored and have nothing better to do?" Xia Tian laughed and scolded, "Just prepare one million in cash right now, and then drive a regular car to pick me up."

Afterwards, Xia Tian told Bald Qiang the apartment address, hung up the phone, casually tidied her appearance in front of the mirror, and then went downstairs and walked towards the entrance of the community.

As for why Xia Tian asked Bald Qiang to prepare one million yuan in cash instead of two hundred thousand, he naturally had his own plans.

Xia Tian already knew from the moment Ma Hao borrowed 200,000 yuan from him that Ma Hao already considered him his most trusted friend.

It should be noted that at that high school reunion, Ma Hao witnessed Xia Tian effortlessly earn ten million yuan. To Xia Tian, ​​a mere two hundred thousand yuan was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Although Xia Tian didn't know the exact cost of a wedding, she could roughly deduce from Ma Hao's words about taking out loans to buy a house and a car that a wedding in M ​​City would cost no less than one million.

Ma Hao only asked to borrow 200,000 yuan as a bride price, which is enough to show that Ma Hao is not greedy, but rather honest and kind.

They would rather owe the bank a huge sum of money than ask Xia Tian for more.

Of course, even if Ma Hao really asked Xia Tian for a million yuan, Xia Tian would lend it to him without hesitation.

After all, money was nothing more than an external thing for Xia Tian, ​​used to buy cultivation resources.

However, once Ma Hao does this, Xia Tian will no longer consider him a friend, and he will find someone else to do the subsequent engineering projects.

Therefore, Xia Tian decided to help Ma Hao out by giving him one million yuan as a wedding gift.

In M City, outside an apartment complex, Xia Tian waited for about ten minutes before a white Audi A3 pulled up in front of him. Immediately, Bald Qiang got out of the driver's seat and respectfully opened the back door for Xia Tian.

"Master Xia, everything you asked us to do is ready." Bald Qiang said respectfully to Xia Tian from the driver's seat.

Xia Tian smiled wryly and shook his head. He told Bald Qiang to keep a low profile and to prepare an ordinary car to go with him.

But to my surprise, this guy actually arranged for a white Audi. Judging from the exterior design and the interior comfort, I estimate that this Audi A3 costs no less than 500,000 yuan this summer.

What Xia Tian didn't know was that, in order to keep a low profile as he requested, Bald Qiang had specially acquired an imported and modified Audi A3, priced at no less than three million, which was equipped with a listening device and bulletproof equipment.

"Let's set off for Qingshan Town!"
