The boss has replied! Xiao Gu's heart felt a lot better reading the short message on his phone. He took out the earbud from his pocket, connected it to his phone, and called Chen Ge. It was picked up after one ring, and Chen Ge's voice came through.
"Don't talk and starting from this moment on, just follow my instructions."
"Okay." Xiao Gu leaned against the window and used his arm to block the view of the earbud line. His body swayed along with the bus.
"I've seen the message you sent me. Whether you believe me or not, I have to tell you something." Chen Ge kept his voice calm and steady. "Before I tell you that, I want you to be ready—do not visibly react. If you're ready, then send me a message."
"Okay, boss. Tell me." Xiao Gu sent the message and took in a deep breath. He was still feeling afraid.
