Shengge's pupils panicked and her eyelashes kept blinking, "Maybe...it was a mistake. Ignore him. Let's take the medicine first."
"Wrong typo?"
Ji Yuting's sharp eyes noticed the panic in her eyes, and he was filled with doubts.
The bell kept ringing.
There is a tendency to keep dialing until the end if the caller is not answered.
Ji Yuting's face darkened, and he stood up to get her cell phone, "Then I'll answer it for you."
"Need not!"
Shengge held his hand down very hard.
Ji Yuting was even more surprised. He reacted so violently?
Shengge also realized that he had gone too far, and quickly pulled him to sit down, "I remembered, it should be the phone number of the partner today, I forgot to save it."
He remained suspicious: "It's already half past nine in the evening. Which partner would call to discuss work so late?"
"How did I know... Then I'll ask."
Shengge put down the water glass, calmed her pounding heart, and turned the volume of the receiver to the minimum while answering the phone.
"Hello, what's up?"
Ning Chengxu on the other side of the phone was stunned, and he understood almost instantly, "Sister Sheng, is Ji Yuting next to you? Oh, did I make an unlucky call and disturb your love?"
Shengge took a deep breath, glanced at Ji Yuting who was staring at her intently, got up and walked to the balcony, then cooled her tone and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Ning Chengxu smiled jokingly and said seriously: "Before eleven o'clock tonight, you come to the abandoned chemical factory in the eastern suburbs of S City. You can bring bodyguards with you, but remember, you can only enter Room 302 on the fifth floor alone!
"
Shengge didn't answer immediately, but looked back at the bedroom.
Ji Yuting was sitting beside the bed, his back to her, motionless. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't seem to be paying attention to her side.
She covered the receiver and spoke softly, "Not now, let's talk tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
Ning Chengxu was not happy anymore and lowered his voice, "Do you know how hard I worked to get this medicine? If I miss tonight, I will never have this opportunity again. Even if you want to send me back to a high-level prison, I
I can’t take it out either!”
Judging from his tone, it didn't sound like he was deliberately lying.
Shengge thought for a while and said, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, she hesitated and walked to Ji Yuting.
"Brother Yu, I'm in a hurry. I have to go out and I may come back very late... You should go to bed early and don't wait for me."
Ji Yuting looked sternly and grabbed her hand, "It's cold outside and it's late at night. It's not safe for you girl to go out. Can I accompany you?"
"You forgot that I know Jiu-Jitsu, but not everyone can get close to me. Besides, you are the one who shouldn't go out at night. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
She held his face, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"Promise me, take the medicine and go to bed early."
"good."
His stern expression remained unchanged.
Shengge rewarded him with another kiss, then turned around to get the coat on the coat rack, put it on, and quickly went out.
Ji Yuting stood on the balcony and watched.
After her figure completely disappeared by the courtyard wall, he turned back and walked to the bed to sit down. He turned to look at the bedside table, where there was a box full of more than a dozen pills.
How important is it that makes her abandon the unfinished medicine and rush out so late at night?
Moreover, Shengge's expression was so unnatural tonight, she seemed...lying.
Just now, he seemed to hear a man's voice on the phone...
Suspicion drove him to call Xi Nian.
"Let's find out what Shengge has been up to recently, where she went during the day, what she did, and..."
