In the restroom, Lu Haiqiao didn't rush to touch up her makeup.
She lit up her phone and, seeing over forty missed calls in the middle of the screen, shook her head helplessly.
Luckily, she had set her phone to silent mode in time; otherwise, this meal would have been far from peaceful.
Lu Haiqiao decided to return Lu Yunge's call.
Ignoring him like this might lead him to mobilize his men to search for her in the entire city.
However, after unlocking her phone, she discovered that among these over forty missed calls, there was one from an unknown number.
Moreover, this unknown number had called seven times in a row within five minutes.
It didn't seem like a wrong number or a telemarketer.
At this moment, she noticed there was an unread message.
She opened it and found that it was sent by that unknown number.
"Lu Haiqiao, who do you think you are? Do you think we can't find you just because you blocked all our contact methods? I warn you, if you know what's good for you, don't play tricks on me again, or I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
After reading the message, a knowing look passed through Lu Haiqiao's eyes.
With such an arrogant and domineering tone, who else could it be but Su Qingya?
Lu Haiqiao deleted the message with a cold expression and simultaneously activated the call-interception function she had recently implanted in her phone for unknown numbers.
Whenever an unknown number called more than twice, this special program she designed would automatically redirect the call to the emergency line.
Since you had so much to say, I let you chat with the police.
After completing the operation, Lu Haiqiao finally called Lu Yunge. As she expected, Lu Yunge's current mood was teetering on the edge of explosion.
"Hello, Ol' Lu, I…"
The call connected, and Lu Haiqiao had only spoken a few words when she was met with Lu Yunge's furious roar.
"Lu Haiqiao! Where did you go?"
"Do you have any idea how worried I was when you left a message like that and disappeared for an hour, thirty-two minutes, and forty-three… no, forty-four seconds?"
Lu Haiqiao moved her phone slightly away from her ear, allowing him to vent his frustration. After he had finished shouting, she calmly said, "Calm down…"
Lu Yunge took a couple of deep breaths to regain his composure. "Tell me, where are you now?"
Lu Haiqiao: "Lunch."
Lu Yunge: "Where?"
Lu Haiqiao: "With a friend."
Lu Yunge: …
She still didn't reveal where she was.
Alright, if she won't tell, I'll ask a different question.
Lu Yunge: "What's your friend's name? A guy or a girl? What does he do for a living? Where does he live? How long have you known him?How did you meet?"
Faced with such a long string of questions, Lu Haiqiao only answered half of them. "His… surname is Xie."
Lu Yunge paused. "Xie Xuan?"
"Yes," Lu Haiqiao responded coldly.
It seemed that Lu Xuege had told Lu Yunge about her investigation.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yunge furrowed his brow and muttered under his breath, "Someone with the surname Xie…"
Lu Haiqiao slightly curled her lips, setting her trap. "Well, I've told you his name. As for who he is, what he does, where he lives, if you want to know, you can investigate it yourself."
At her words, he scoffed, "Is he some kind of important person that I need to spend time, effort, and resources to investigate?"
"Alright, alright, just come back quickly. Don't make me have Second Brother track your phone's location!"
Lu Haiqiao glanced at her phone, feeling aggrieved.
Didn't you already check my location long ago!
