Chapter 1214: Calling Li Shengxiao

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Calling Li Shengxiao

Cui Jiangjing found a corner where he wouldn’t be easily noticed, hastily fumbled for his phone, and stealthily took a photo of the crowd.

Because he was too nervous, he didn’t dare zoom in for the shot, so he could only take a general photo from afar.

After capturing the photo he wanted, he zoomed in on the photo, circled the person in red, took a screenshot, saved it, and sent the photo to Li Shengxiao.

While he hastily typed out a string of messages——

[“Guess who I bumped into at Capital People’s Hospital? Look at the photo I sent you. I’m still here, can’t see clearly, I’ll secretly snap another one for you if needed, but I also don’t dare to get too close, what if I’m not wrong and get caught, my mom would kill me!”]

[“Look at the photo, what are you doing! Didn’t you see the message I sent you? Dude, this is urgent, could you respond to my message?”]

[“Damn, why haven’t you replied to my message yet. Shengxiao, did you actually see the photo I sent you? I’m damn nervous standing here, what if I get caught, I’d be in deep trouble! Hurry up and look, reply to me when you see it, even just a letter would be fine, at least let me know you’ve seen it! Otherwise I’m calling you.”]

He waited for a whole minute, didn’t receive a reply, and couldn’t hold back anymore, so he stepped aside and made the call.

“Dial—” The call connected, but no one answered.

Cui Jiangjing furrowed his brows, paced back and forth in the corner, and muttered impatiently, “What’s going on! Answer the phone!”

Click.

Finally, the sound of the phone being answered came through; the man’s voice was hoarse and low, seeming just awoken, weary, “What is it?”

“Where are you? Don’t tell me at this hour you’re still not up.”

Cui Jiangjing heard his just-woke-up voice, but didn’t quite believe it.

Li Shengxiao was extremely disciplined, robotically punctual, up at exactly 7:30 AM, and at his office by eight, never awake past 7:30.

It was now ten in the morning, he couldn’t believe Li Shengxiao had just gotten up.

Li Shengxiao pinched the bridge of his nose, overwhelmed with exhaustion, leaned back in the back seat of the car, his long legs crossed, resting his elbow on the armrest while holding his phone, and asked impatiently, “On the road, what is it?”

“You’re in the car? Where are you going? Damn, you’re not in Capital City?”

Li Shengxiao, irritated by the noise and beginning to get a headache, said, “Just got back from Rui City, almost in Capital City. What’s it about?”

“It’s nothing much, I called to get you to look at the message I sent you. Wait, what were you doing in Rui City? When did you go there, how come I didn’t know?” Cui Jiangjing was persistent about his movements.

Li Shengxiao had promised Susan not to disclose her whereabouts, so, despite it being Cui Jiangjing asking, he sidestepped the question, “Had some personal matters to deal with, it’s all sorted now.”

“Then quickly check the photo I sent you, do you know who I saw?”

Li Shengxiao had already moved away his phone and checked the message while he spoke, a low ‘hmm?’ sounded, “Saw who?”

Cui Jiangjing didn’t realize that he was both on the phone and looking at the photo, he couldn’t hide his surprise, “Madame Chu!”

“I thought I was seeing things, the first time I saw her I even thought I’d seen a ghost. The last person I expected to be in Capital City, I even blinked several times to make sure, and there she was, just sitting there. Shengxiao, have you ever received similar news?”
