"I heard your uncle mention your mother earlier. Should we go ask auntie to see if she knows anything?"
Pei Ge nodded to his suggestion. "Okay. I'll ask my mom later."
Ji Ziming propped up her body as they left the prison. When they were inside the car, the woman fished out her phone to call her mother. The phone rang for some time before it was picked up. Through the receiver came Zhang Manhua's hoarse voice.
"Hello, Ge Ge; what is it? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
She had just fallen asleep when her phone rang, only to find that it was her daughter.
Only then did Pei Ge realize that her mother had a different time zone from being overseas. She had actually forgotten about that, but since the call was already made, she proceeded to clear the other's confusion. "Mom, back then, when dad got murdered, did he tell you anything?"
"Anything?" Zhang Manhua opened her eyes. Her daughter called her to ask about her husband's death years ago.
