Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Can You Not Answer the Phone?
"Hahaha~ What makes you think you can be one of my people?"
"Why canât I? Am I not better at fighting than those four behind you? Plus, Iâm smarter than them, arenât I? There are some things they donât even understand. If they can do it, why canât I?"
"Those four are sufficiently loyal."
"I can be too!" The wise do not pick fights they cannot win, and bending a little without damage to oneâs dignity is okay. "And thereâs another very important pointâmy husband is incredibly wealthy, so you wonât even have to keep thieving in the future, how great is that!"
"Wealthy? How wealthy exactly? Nowadays, there are a lot of people with money, even those with hundreds of thousands in their bank accounts call themselves wealthy."
"No, no, no, Iâm different from them. My Uncle is Chu Liyuan, have you heard of Chu Liyuan?"
"What? What did you say your husbandâs name is?" The woman suddenly became extremely agitated upon hearing the name and reached out to choke Jian Danâs neck. "Speak up, who did you just mention?"
The woman kept pressing Jian Dan for an answer.
Jian Dan struggled to lift a hand and pointed at the hand on her neck.
Only then did the woman realize and let go of her hand.
"Speak! Who is your husband?"
Jian Dan, with a hand on her neck, looked up into the womanâs eyes.
From the womanâs reaction just now, it was clear she knew Uncle, and there was likely bad blood between them. So in such a situation, how could Jian Dan possibly tell her the truth?
"I just said Zhu Liyuan! Why, do you know him?" Jian Dan casually made up a similar-sounding name.
"No, thatâs not the name you mentioned just now."
"Thatâs the name I said! Maybe you just didnât hear it clearly?"
"Impossible, I clearly heard you say..." The womanâs brows furrowed.
"You definitely heard it wrong!"
"Heard it wrong?"
"No way~ I definitely didnât hear it wrong!"
"It doesnât matter if sheâs being stubborn, Boss. Since heâs her husband, his contact must be in her phone." A man whispered to the womanâs ear.
Jian Danâs eyes widened in disbelief at the manâs sudden insight at such a critical moment.
The man crouched down and fished out the phone from Jian Danâs pocket and handed it to the woman.
"Whatâs the passcode?" the woman asked Jian Dan coldly.
Jian Dan turned her head away.
"Not talking? Fine! Letâs see how tough you are. Beat her until she talks."
"Thereâs no need for that, Boss. Nowadays, phones are unlocked with either fingerprints or facial recognition; you just need to..." the man already placed the phone in front of Jian Dan as he spoke.
Before Jian Dan could react, the phone had already unlocked automatically.
At that moment, Jian Dan swore that once she got out of here, she would never use facial recognition to unlock her phone again.
The woman took the phone and immediately opened the contact list. "How come thereâs no âHusbandâ?" the woman muttered while browsing through.
Jian Dan was initially relieved that she hadnât saved Uncle as âHusbandâ! But the next second~
"Boss, she just mentioned âUncleâ, see if thereâs âUncleâ in there?"
Jian Dan looked at the man in disbelief again.
Whatâs with this sudden burst of intelligence?
"Got it~"
"Wait a minute, think about it. How could I possibly call my own husband âUncleâ? Right? Heâs really just my uncle."
"Do you think I would believe you? Your current behavior has already betrayed you.
Plus, that personâs age is there; itâs not impossible for you to call him Uncle."
She said and was already dialing the call...
Since it was so quiet, Jian Dan could hear the dial tone from the phone, praying that Uncle was either too busy to hear or that his phone was out of power, unable to receive the call.
The dial tone echoed, each one tugging at her heartstrings.
Just when Jian Dan thought a miracle was happening, a familiar voice came through the phone...
