Gu Xiyue listened and nodded, then reminded Gu Zhiqi, "Jiang City is indeed not peaceful today. Don’t open the door for anyone casually tonight."
She had just received information that Angel’s people were seen in Jiang City, which is why she left in such a hurry.
However, by the ti their people arrived, Angel’s n had already been killed.
Not only that, but all of Angel’s electronic equipnt had also been taken, and the people who were tied up had vanished without a trace.
After searching the surrounding area, nothing was found.
Even though Angel’s n were dead, there was still a chance that so remnants might be lurking, so it was best to stay vigilant.
Unaware of Gu Xiyue’s thoughts, Gu Zhiqi just obediently nodded at Gu Xiyue.
Gu Xiyue didn’t linger any longer, said goodnight to Gu Zhiqi, and then left.
As soon as the room door closed, Gu Zhiqi received a call from Su Yunling.
It was a video call.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes flickered slightly, and she imdiately pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, a handso, jade-like face appeared on the screen. Gu Zhiqi stared at the phone screen for a long ti before finally calling out, "Brother."
"Mm." Su Yunling responded softly, then looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Not at ho?"
The scene behind Gu Zhiqi was visible on screen, and from the decor of the room, it looked sowhat like a hotel.
Gu Zhiqi nodded and replied softly, "In Jiang City." Then she added, "Here to take care of so things."
Su Yunling nodded, then asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Jiang City?"
Gu Zhiqi paused for two seconds, then said, "Not sure. I’ll return once everything’s done."
"But, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finish everything."
While speaking, Gu Zhiqi placed the phone on the table, propping her chin with her hands as she gazed at Su Yunling on the screen.
Su Yunling looked at her in this pose and found her adorably obedient.
For a mont, he was lost in thought.
He forgot to respond.
"Brother?" Seeing that Su Yunling wasn’t speaking, Gu Zhiqi called out to him.
Hearing her, Su Yunling finally snapped back to reality and instinctively responded with a "Mm."
Holding her chin, Gu Zhiqi looked at him and asked, "Are you in a car? Where are you going?"
Su Yunling: "Just finished work and planning to head ho. I’m afraid it’ll be too late by the ti I get there, so I wanted to call you now to wish you goodnight."
There’s still about an hour’s drive ho, and by the ti he gets there, it’ll probably be midnight.
By then, Gu Zhiqi would likely be asleep, so he thought it was better to call her now to wish her goodnight.
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi’s eyebrows arched slightly in a gentle smile. Then she said to Su Yunling, "I was just joking with you. If you’re busy, there’s no need to say goodnight."
Su Yunling lazily squinted his eyes and said softly, "But I wanted to hear Master Zhi say goodnight in person."
Because his voice was lowered, it sounded rich and magnetic, as if carrying a slight electric current that tingled and seed to seep deeper, until she wasn’t sure if it had reached her mind or her heart.
Gu Zhiqi quietly inhaled sharply.
She suspected he was deliberately using his voice to entice her, but she had no proof.
Maintaining her chin-supporting pose, Gu Zhiqi moved her fingers and pressed her ear.
With Gu Zhiqi silent, Su Yunling also didn’t speak, just silently watched the phone screen.
As the two were quietly staring at each other, lost in thought, suddenly, the sound of fireworks bursting filled the air.
