章 251: A Piece of My Mind

Huo Shaoheng raised the phone to his ear. He stood with his free hand in his trouser pocket as he nonchalantly said: "…You better have a very good reason for calling me."

Zhao Liangze was silent for a full second on the other end of the line. He asked, in a trembling voice, "…S-Sir, is that you?!"

"Yeah."

"Y-Y-You… Why are you…"

"Nianzhi wasn't feeling well last night, so I checked on her." Huo Shaoheng left it at that. "Is that all? If you have nothing urgent to discuss, I'm hanging up. And stop calling Nianzhi's phone."

Zhao Liangze was sitting in front of several monitors, watching the second floor of Huo Shaoheng's official residence through the surveillance cameras.

He saw Huo Shaoheng come out of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom after ending the phone call and return to his master bedroom.
