At this tense moment, the telephone in the living room suddenly rang, breaking the silence.
Xu Ke answered the phone as quickly as possible, "Hello!"
The other end of the phone came with a laugh tinged with an electronic sound, "Your wife is now in my hands. If you want her to live, do as I say. Otherwise, I will send your wife to Hell." The menacing voice amplified through the speaker echoed in the empty room.
