Chapter 98 -s 98-99: Critical Moment
Gu Lili’s phone rang.
Because she was busy with something important, she answered the call and put it on speaker next to her pillow.
He Meiwei’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. Afraid that Gu Lili would hang up upon hearing her voice, she blurted out all at once, "I’m being followed by three men I don’t recognize here in Nanwei District’s commercial street. Can you get Mr. Long to come over? Or send someone to check it out? I’m really scared."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances. Gu Lili picked up the phone, "Miss He, you really play too many tricks. I don’t know how you got my number. At this moment, you should be dialing 110, not my phone."
"I did, but couldn’t get through," He Meiwei’s voice trembled, indicating she was genuinely scared, "I know I’ve done something unforgivable to you, but I couldn’t reach Mr. Long’s phone, and I just got your number today, so I had no choice but to call you. Please, help me one more time. I really need your help."
"You couldn’t get through to the police? Are you kidding me? How is that possible?"
"It’s true, I couldn’t get through. Maybe there were too many emergency calls. I’m really feeling helpless now."
Before Gu Lili could respond, Long Yubei snatched the phone from her hand and coldly spat out one word, "Scram."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and then deleted the incoming call number, doing it very cleanly.
Gu Lili saw his actions and suddenly laughed, "The way you said ’scram’ was really something. I liked it."
Long Yubei turned off his phone and casually threw it to the side of the bed. His deep eyes filled with displeasure, "I don’t want to hear about her anymore. Whether she staged it herself or there really were strange men following her, it’s none of my business."
