Chapter 309 - 298: Xu Wu Returns (Part 2)
When he went to find her in the back yard, Qin Xi didn’t bother calling for Li Xianglu; he just got up, closed the door properly, and left.
A deep male voice came through on the phone, causing Qin Xi’s brow to furrow. Who was this person? Someone who had managed to connect with Xiangxiang right under his watch.
