Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Can’t Get Through, All Unreachable Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Can’t Get Through, All Unreachable Fang Tiandong, to protect his precious tree, hired dozens of bodyguards to surround his villa, thinking that he was then completely safe.
He was utterly wrong!
Through the window, Fang Tiandong saw under the streetlights bodyguards lying helter-skelter, their fate unknown.
A chill shot up from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and a fear of impending death swept over him frantically.
Fang Tiandong screamed repeatedly, clumsily scrambling toward the second-floor living room, while bursts of mocking laughter came from downstairs.
The man with the curved knife plucked a leaf and threw it directly into his mouth, casually addressing his subordinates, “This entire family is just ordinary people; let’s dig out the Spiritual Tree first, then go upstairs to take care of them.”
The leaf was chewed in his mouth, the refreshing juice spreading across his palate, making the man with the curved knife smile even more wickedly.
A group of burly men with shovels in hand started working vigorously downstairs.
As for the family upstairs?
In their eyes, they were no different from ants that could be squashed with a thumb!
Fang Tiandong, his face covered in blood, ran upstairs in panic. Chuchu opened a door slightly and, terrified, quickly gestured, whispering for Fang Tiandong to come in.
This was his brother Fang Xu’s room. Chuchu and her stepmother had rushed back upstairs and immediately went to wake Fang Xu.
The brat had no idea what was happening and was cursing angrily.
Chuchu slapped him hard and hissed, “Cry again, and I’ll beat you to death!”
Fang Tiandong, no longer caring for his son, looked palely at his wife and children, shivering as he shouted, “Quick, quickly… call the police!”
Now they could only trust in the police; as long as the police arrived, they would be saved.
Chuchu’s hands trembled as she held her phone; she messed up the three digits of 110 twice before finally managing to dial it. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
The family’s gaze was fixed on Chuchu’s phone, a silence that lasted for dozens of seconds, and then–
They were going to go insane!
The call didn’t go through!
Chuchu trembled uncontrollably, incredulously saying, “How could this be? Isn’t it said that even without a card, emergency calls can still go through?”
In the children’s room, all four family members shuddered together, a bad premonition rising in their hearts.
Fang Tiandong, no longer caring about the pain on his face, yelled at Chuchu, “Quick, try calling someone else for help, have them call the police!”
Chuchu’s face was streaming with hot tears, as she had heard very clearly a while ago that those thugs were coming to assault her soon.
Chuchu opened WeChat, only to find there was no signal.
She tried to call every number in the phonebook; none connected, all unreachable!
Fang Tiandong suddenly understood. No wonder those people were so arrogant, allowing them to flee back to the second floor; they already knew they couldn’t call for help!
This humiliation was like a mighty beast toying with its prey, savoring the terrified struggle before eating them.
They just loved the look of despair after their frightened flight!
Fang Tiandong shivered severely and immediately pushed everything heavy in the room against the door, firmly blocking it.
But it still did not make them feel safe.
The stepmother burst into tears, yelling at Fang Tiandong, “It’s all your fault, treating such a disastrous tree like a treasure!”
Unable to resist, Fang Tiandong retorted, “What are you saying? It’s all my fault? When you used the tree leaves for baths and face washes, did you call it a disastrous tree? Blame me?”
