Chapter 278 - 277: Another Reminder (3)
Shen Qian’s phone rang twice before he lazily picked up, his voice carrying the drowsy languor of someone just awakening, deep and hoarse as it came through the phone, probably still in a fog, he mumbled, "Who is it?"
Shi Che’s voice sank, to the point, "Me."
"You... who are you!" Shen Qian’s voice became even more muddled, and as he spoke, he seemed on the verge of falling asleep again. Shi Che’s eyes darkened, and his voice grew heavier, "Shi Che."
"Shi... Shi...!" When Shen Qian was muttering the first syllable, he was still groggy, but somehow, there seemed to be a scream from the other side of the phone. Shi Che’s brows twisted, a trace of confusion flickered in his eyes, just as he was about to speak, Shen Qian on the other end seemed to have sobered up, "Dude, it’s so early, what’s up?"
"What happened to you just now?"
"Nothing, just woke up and wasn’t paying attention, fell out of bed."
Shi Che didn’t say anything else and went straight to the point. His thin lips slightly parted, his voice was indifferent but vaguely tinged with a hint of gravity, "Were you with Ji Xinxin last night?"
Shen Qian seemed puzzled by Shi Che’s question and did not answer right away, instead asking back, "Why do you ask this question?"
Shi Che faintly glanced out the car window, the car slowly moving on, the scenery outside changing one by one, his gaze casually landing somewhere, his voice still indifferent, "Just asking, you just need to answer, yes or no."
After his words, there seemed to be a few seconds of pause on Shen Qian’s side. During those few seconds, Shi Che felt strangely.
Because of the last incident, he could no longer trust Ling Chuxia completely, for he knew all too well that Ling Chuxia, in order to accomplish her mission, would stop at nothing.
