Li Rao glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the silver-gray sports car gradually slowing down and falling far behind. It was only then that Wei Shiran's voice came through the car's Bluetooth speaker, "I'm coming back now."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rao breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close, she almost got caught by him.
Once she had completely shaken off Wei Shiran, she found another number from the contacts and dialed it.
"Do me a favor."
...
When Wei Shiran returned home, it was already an hour later.
He changed into slippers at the entrance and, noticing that the living room was empty, headed straight for the upstairs sitting room.
He knocked on the bedroom door, and after a short while, Li Rao in her pajamas opened the door and peeked out.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."
Li Rao asked, "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long?"
More than an hour had passed since she had called him.
