Gu Xiyue fished out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Yuan Lai, "Call Qiqi, and let know when you get through."
Yuan Lai originally wanted to ask Gu Xiyue where she was going, but upon seeing her bow her head and begin calculating, he understood.
Holding Gu Xiyue’s phone, he started dialing the number labeled as Qiqi.
He called several tis, but no one answered.
Yuan Lai glanced at Gu Chengan, whose face was growing paler, and a sense of urgency began to rise in him as he continued calling.
Before the call connected, he heard Gu Chengan exclaim, "Sis."
The tone was filled with urgency and worry.
Yuan Lai glanced at Gu Xiyue out of the corner of his eye and saw blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. His pupils contracted as he said, "Boss, you... take care of yourself first."
Gu Xiyue kept her eyes closed and ignored him, continuing with her calculations.
Seeing this, the worry in Yuan Lai’s eyes deepened.
He knew that at such a ti, interrupting her calculations could lead to an even stronger backlash, so all he could do was fret anxiously.
After a few seconds of panic, rembering Gu Xiyue’s instructions, Yuan Lai kept calling Gu Zhiqi.
Finally, on the tenth call, the phone was answered, "Fifth Sister?"
Hearing Qinghan’s lazy voice, Yuan Lai was montarily stunned; his first thought was how pleasant the voice was.
What a sha not to be singing.
But he quickly recalled the pressing matter, "Uh, hello, is this Miss Gu Zhiqi?"
"My na is Yuan Lai, Boss... oh, Gu Xiyue asked to call you."
"We’re experiencing a situation here with her brother... yes, you could say your brother too, his destiny is suddenly fading rapidly."
"Boss is trying to help him with divination, but seems to be suffering a backlash."
"The situation is critical. I fear if we wait any longer, her brother might be gone, and not just him, even Boss might be in life-threatening danger."
"Boss had call you for a reason, so please..."
Before Yuan Lai could finish his sentence, Gu Zhiqi interrupted with a reply, "Wait."
After saying that, she hung up without waiting for Yuan Lai to respond.
Yuan Lai: ?
Wait?
He’s afraid if they wait any longer, it might only be waiting to collect bodies for the young brother and the boss!
Yuan Lai paced anxiously on the spot, nearly writing the words ’agitated’ on his face.
Gu Chengan sat weakly on the chair and looked at Yuan Lai, "Brother Lai, what did she say?"
Hearing this, Yuan Lai replied irritably, "She said wait."
Gu Chengan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, but soon looked at Yuan Lai and said again, "Brother Lai, give the phone, I’ll... talk to her."
Yuan Lai heard this and, without a second thought, refused directly.
"You shouldn’t, I’m afraid if you speak, she won’t co."
Yuan Lai hadn’t forgotten the poor relationship between the young brother and Gu Zhiqi.
In truth, whether Gu Chengan lived or died wasn’t of much concern to him.
If he cared, it was only out of fear that the young brother’s death would sadden the boss.
However, right now, the matter involved not just the young brother’s life and death, but also the boss’s.
Since the boss wanted Gu Zhiqi to co, she must have her reasons.
If Gu Chengan offended Gu Zhiqi and she refused to co, wouldn’t the boss be in even more danger?
In conclusion, he absolutely couldn’t let Gu Chengan call Gu Zhiqi!
Gu Chengan, upon being refused by Yuan Lai, looked a bit unhappy.
Yuan Lai felt that the originally pale face seed to have a trend of turning dark.
Of course, it might just be his illusion.
Yuan Lai, while lost in his thoughts, continued pacing in the booth and occasionally glanced at Gu Xiyue.
