The taxi had just started when Zeng Shiyuo made another call to his wife, and Tian Xiaoxia's breathless voice came through as soon as the connection was made.
To avoid being overheard by the taxi driver, he spoke in a hushed voice, "On your way back, always check if someone is following you, remember, don't let anyone get close to you, it's best to take a taxi home."
Tian Xiaoxia kept agreeing.
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Shiyuo suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called his son, Zeng Ziming.
If nothing unexpected happened, his son should still be sleeping now, but he had to warn him.
The phone rang for a long time without answer; he didn't know if the boy was sleeping too soundly to hear it, or if there was some other reason.
Zeng Shiyuo was beside himself with worry, fidgeting in the cab. He tried the number again and on the third attempt, the call was finally answered.
