This was a strange mobile phone number. It didn't call anyone what it was, or fake phone numbers such as phone numbers.
Alex's intuition told him that this phone call must have something to do with his son, Lin.
Therefore, he parked the Porsche by the roadside and picked up the call with all his attention.
"Alex, long time no see."
The voice on the other end of the phone was heavy, with a little low hissing sound.
Although five years had passed, Alex still recognized that it was Alex's voice from the other side of the phone.
"Alex, I miss you too. Why don't we get together?"
Alex responded to Xavier's words in a steady voice. It seemed that Xavier could kidnap his son, Lin, from the cruise ship, and he was not an ordinary person.
"Alex, you've promised me five years ago. I'm afraid you've already forgotten all about it by now, haven't you?"
At Alex's slightly angry question, Alex immediately furrowed his brows. He was thinking quickly in his mind. What had he promised Alex five years ago? At this moment, Alex had indeed forgotten all about him!
"Alex, let's get together. How about the Seaview Restaurant in the scenic place? I'll wait for you there. We'll meet before we leave."
Alex steadied Alex with his 'untroubled' voice. At the same time, he was winning time to think back to his promise to Alex.
However, Alex was truly unable to recall exactly what he had promised Alex.
"Just the two of us? How lonely would that be?"
There was a hint of anger in Xing III's voice, and he looked as if he had pinched Alex's seven-inch cold heart.
"In that case, which distinguished guests would you like to invite, Mr. Xavier? Mr. Selmy, please extend your welcome."
Alex followed Alex's words and said.
"It seems that President is really forgetful when you have so many people! Well, it's not too late to get together when President Feng remembers!"
Alex said ruthlessly in a cold voice. The accumulation of resentment and anger over the past five years had caused Alex's tone to sound very unfriendly.
"Wait! I don't have a good memory. Everyone in Lisbon knows that. Third Brother, please forgive me! My son is still young. I hope that Third Brother can give me a chance to make up for it."
For the sake of his son, Alex's attitude was humble.
On the other end of the phone, Xavier was silent for a long time, as if he was reminiscing about the tragic past.
After a long time, Alex sighed deeply, as if he had sighed out all the anger that had been on his mind for the past five years.
"Alex, you promised me... to win the beauty back!"
Finally, Xavier spoke out Alex's promise from three years ago.
Winning the heart of a beauty?
Alex was stunned for a moment. "I, I seem to have promised Alex that I would let him get the beauty back!"
And the beauty, of course, was referring to the coquettish woman, Yen!
To be honest, five years ago, his wife and son were in the river bank. In order to leave the river bank and his foster son, Alex did use "beauty's return" to lure or trick Alex.
However, Finn just said it casually at that time and didn't take it seriously at all.
But he didn't expect that Alex would take it seriously!
"I knew... you're just asking me to do it! I'll take it as a loss!"
The silence of Alex made Alex more and more sad. As a result, he spoke more and more.
"The river bank asked me to throw your wife and children into the sea to kill them, but I was bewitched by you and gave your wife and children a lifebuoy!
You know, a pregnant woman in the cold sea, if she didn't have the lifebuoy that I gave her, she would not live for more than half an hour!"
Alex helped Alex recall what had happened five years ago.
"Third Brother Xavier is of no help to my wife and children. I will definitely remember it! I will also repay you!"
Alex's respectful attitude was true. It was true that he wanted to stabilize Alex's emotions. However, he was also thankful for the convenience that Alex had given his wife and son.
Xavier was right: A pregnant woman, if she didn't have the life-saving lifebuoy he gave her, she really couldn't survive in the cold sea water.
"Ha-ha," Alex sneered. "Alex, five years ago, you lured or coaxed me. Do you think I'll still believe you after five years?"
"Third brother, I did promise you that I would win the beauty back in my arms! It's not too late to fulfill my promise now! I will definitely cooperate actively."
"That's great! At this time tomorrow, bring the beauty to the banquet! I'll make the decision on where to go!"
"Sure, I'll definitely do it!"
Alex agreed without hesitation.
But he didn't expect that after five years, Alex still couldn't forget the female goblin named Yen.
"Alex, don't even think about playing tricks with me! With your son buried with me, you can go to the netherworld to be my godson. I'll be satisfied even if I'm only a cripple!"
Alex said in a ruthless voice.
Crippled? Crippled? Alex was crippled?
"Third brother, I will definitely attend the banquet according to your request!"
Alex agreed without hesitation, but he calmly made a request. "Third Brother, I have a presumptuous request: I want to talk to my son."
Each game had its own rules. Without Alex saying that his son, Lin, was in his hands, Alex would believe him without any doubt.
This request, Alex could not refuse, nor could he refuse.
This was the rule of the game.
"Come here, little guy. Say something to your father."
Alex put the phone to the little fellow's mouth, but the little fellow didn't want to say a word with Alex. It was silent.
"What's wrong? You don't even want to recognize your own father?"
No matter how Alex tried to persuade him, the little fellow did not say a word.
"Lin? Lin..."
Alex used hands-free, and the voice of Alex calling his son Lin came out from the phone.
The little fellow still didn't say a word. He had been lowering his little head, biting his lips with his teeth, still remaining silent.
Seeing that the little fellow was unwilling to speak, Alex grew a bit impatient. It seemed that he did not wish to chat with Alex for a long time.
He wanted to end the call earlier.
"Kid, I heard that your mother is in the hospital because of her illness it's very serious! She is dying soon.."
As soon as Xavier goading method came out, it was related to the life and death of her mommy. The little fellow immediately asked,
"Alex, what's wrong with my mommy?"
"Your mommy is very good... It's just that she misses you a little! Lin, you have to be good, because it's your mommy's life!"
Hearing his son Lin's calm voice, Alex's heart, which had been hanging for the past few days, could temporarily be put back to his chest.
"Alex, see you tomorrow."
Alex did not let Lin speak too much to Alex.
"Great! I'll definitely bring the beauty to the banquet!"
Alex answered Xavier with an affirmative answer.
After hanging up, Finn sat quietly in the car, frowning slightly and thinking about something.
It was obvious that the beauty that Alex wanted was Lan. Only when he brought Lan to the banquet, could he get his son Lin.
This was a simple matter, not complicated at all!
