On the other side, Meng Rin was staring at her constantly buzzing phone as she sat on her bed with her knees hugged to her chest. Her heart thudded as if a knot was tightening around it. She hung up on the incoming call and slowly wiped her forehead laced with a layer of sweat.
The phone buzzed again and she almost dropped it from her hand. A soft gasp escaped her trembling lips. She felt an extremely bad foreboding and quickly picked it up.
"RinRin! You finally picked up my call. I got so worried, you know? I was about to come to Tianjin myself," A man's deep and concerned voice rang from the other end.
She froze hard as if the earth shattered under her feet.
"N-No I wasn't really…ignoring your calls. It's just that…you would have seen the news. Director Wan died and with all the police investigation going on, I j-just couldn't…"
She heard a sigh of relief.
