Li Ruo’s first reaction was to call Ye Che, but after placing the call, she was informed that the other party’s cell phone was turned off. Helpless, Li Ruo immediately called Feng Zhixiao. The kid was hemming and hawing on the other end of the line, but after Li Ruo sternly rebuked him, he finally told her the truth.

When Li Ruo learned from Feng Zhixiao’s mouth that Ye Chen had indeed been captured by the Japanese, her phone slipped from her hand and crashed onto the ground, the battery bursting out. Lin Ziwen hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, are you... are you alright?"
"I’m fine, but Ye Chen is not!" Li Ruo appeared completely dispirited, extremely dejected. Quickly, she looked up and said to Lin Ziwen, "Ziwen, immediately buy me the fastest ticket to Tokyo!"

"Is it possible to not go?" Ye Chen asked with a hint of a smile.
"Sorry, you don’t have a choice!" the policeman huffed coldly.
"Well, that settles it!" Ye Chen lazily got up from the edge of his bed.
