“Why was a stranger calling you? Wasn’t MO Xiuchen at a dinner party just

Not only was Wen Ran worried sick, but because her parents died in a car accident, the mere mention of the word ‘car accident’ sent her mind into a state of chaos. She was just about to look up Gu Kai’s phone number when she heard Bai Xiaoxiao’s confused words and hesitated.

Meeting Bai Xiaoxiao’s confused gaze, Wen Ran rubbed her aching forehead, trying to calm herself down. After thinking for a moment, she said, “You’re right, MO Xiuchen was having a dinner meeting earlier, and it’s usually Little Liu who drives him home when he’s had drinks. Let me check with him first.”

“Yes, don’t panic. Let’s find out what’s going on first. If it’s true, we’ll rush back tonight.”

Bai Xiaoxiao comforting squeezed her hand, empathizing with Wen Ran’s current state of mind.

After several rings, Gu Kai’s voice, smooth and cheerful, came through on the other end, “Hello, Ranran, why are you calling at this hour?”

“Older Brother Gu, I got a call saying that MO Xiuchen had a car accident. Do you know…”

“Wait, you said Xiuchen had a car accident? Ha-ha, Ranran, who told you that? He’s sitting right across from me.”

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Kai interrupted her. There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then MO Xiuchen’s mellow, magnetic voice came through: “Wen Ran!”

The familiar and pleasing sound penetrated her eardrum, bringing warmth to Wen Ran’s heart. Delightedly, she blurted out, “MO Xiuchen, I’m so glad you’re okay.”

“I’m okay. You said you got a phone call saying I was in a car accident. Tell me what happened slowly.”

A moment ago, Gu Kai had been on speakerphone, and MO Xiuchen had heard every one of her anxious and worried words. Hearing that she was relieved he was okay, a warm feeling surged within him.

He glanced at Gu Kai across from him, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out at the peaceful night sky in the direction of F City, where Wen Ran was.

With her worrisome thought dispersed, and listening to MO Xiuchen’s words, she quickly realized that this might be a scam, someone using his number to call and trick her.

But what was the caller’s motive?

She furrowed her brow and spoke in a soft voice, “Just now, I received a call displaying your ‘mobile number,’ but it was an unfamiliar voice saying you had an accident…

“The person who called you used my number?”

After hearing the entire story, MO Xiuchen pondered for a moment, then asked the crucial question.

“Yes, because it was your phone, I thought it was real.”

Wen Ran shivered at the thought, feeling relieved that it was not true.

“You did the right thing by not readily believing the other party. This is definitely someone deliberately deceiving you. As for the other person’s purpose, I’m not sure yet, but don’t worry. I will find out who it is.”

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, MO Xiuchen stood tall and straight like a fir tree, his brows cold, his eyes sharply focused. As Wen Ran explained the situation, several guesses had already flashed through his mind.

He turned around and returned to the table, took out his own phone, dialed Luo Haofeng’s number, and handed it to Gu Kai. Without uttering a word, Gu Kai smirked, took the phone, and left the room. “Mm!”

A soft sound of agreement came from Wen Ran.

“Be careful these couple of days. If anything happens, call Ah Feng.” After MO Xiuchen sat down, he contemplated and then advised her further.

“I know, don’t worry.”

Wen Ran obediently agreed, speculating about the motive of the person who had deceived her. Her visit to F City was not a secret. If this was a carefully designed scam, and she had believed it, she would’ve rushed back to G City immediately.

As a thought occurred to her, her eyes changed slightly. Seeing her look towards the floor-to-ceiling window, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately understood her intentions. The two exchanged glances, and Bai Xiaoxiao turned off the light. The room was immediately plunged into darkness.

On the other end of the phone, MO Xiuchen had given her further instructions before changing the subject. He explained, “Just now, the voice you heard when you called was Cheng Jia’s.”

“Oh!”

Wen Ran was a little surprised by his explanation. When she heard Cheng Jia’s voice at the time, she felt a twinge of discomfort because she knew that Cheng

Jia had feelings tor him.

But she trusted that he was not the kind to entertain and entice women unreservedly, so she didn’t overthink it.

“Later, Cheng Jia sprained her foot. I found an excuse to leave early and arranged for Little Liu to take her to the hospital. Right now, Ah Kai and I are having a late-night snack at Yi Pin Xuan.”

“Actually, you don’t need to explain. I know you wouldn’t do anything to harm Cheng Jia. ”

Wen Ran watched as Bai Xiaoxiao tiptoed towards the floor-to-ceiling window, lifted a corner of the curtain to peek outside. From there, she saw the front door of the hotel, the vast parking lot, and the wide road!

“You’re on a business trip now, and I don’t want you to misunderstand. Even if you hadn’t called me, I would’ve called you back soon.”

MO Xiuchen’s voice was no longer stern or cold. It was as soft and gentle as a warm current flowing through Wen Ran’s heart. He didn’t seem to want to hang up quickly, and initiated a casual conversation with her.

It wasn’t until Gu Kai pushed open the door and entered the room that he let Wen Ran go to bed early and ended the call.

At the hotel window, Bai Xiaoxiao was still standing there, staring intently below.

Once the call was over, Wen Ran jumped from the bed, ran to the window, and asked in a soft voice, “Xiaoxiao, have you seen any suspicious people?”

The floor they were staying wasn’t too high, and both of their eyesights were excellent. Looking down from the window, one could see people’s shadows clearly.

Bai Xiaoxiao turned to look at her, joking, ‘You finally finished cooking your phone porridge? I thought you two were planning to sleep on the phone.”

“I’m being serious.”

Wen Ran lifted a corner of the curtain and stood next to her, looking down. Bai Xiaoxiao put on a serious face, pointed to a black vehicle on the street, and said, “See that car, doesn’t it look suspicious? A man got out of it for two minutes and then got back in, even looked up at our building.”

“Have there been any other suspicious people?”

Wen Ran’s gaze was fixed on the car. The car was parked under dim light, too far away to see anything unless someone from the car came out.

As she was speaking, they saw the car door open and a very tall man getting out. As he got out, he removed his sunglasses, glanced at the hotel front door, and then looked up at the upper floors.

Wen Ran’s heart tightened.

“Xiaoxiao, I also suspect that car, was the man who just got out of the car the same one you mentioned earlier?”

“Yes, he got out of the car right after we turned off the light, then he went back in, and now he’s out again – do you think he’s getting anxious waiting?”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Ran. Although the room was dark, ample neon lights from the city were shining in, refracted from other buildings, allowing them to see each other’s eyes clearly..
