There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. "It was Ji Wen, wasn't it?"
Fang Xiaonuan stayed silent. She did not say anything.
Ji Lingchen said, "If it was really you, you would have called me immediately and told me, and you would have apologized to me in tears. You wouldn't be in this state right now, feeling very guilty and not daring to pick up the phone."
Fang Xiaonuan was puzzled. Was that true?
Ji Lingchen asked again, "Were you sitting in the car when Ji Wen hit the small dark room?"
Fang Xiaonuan thought of what Ji Wen had said and quickly said, "Ji Wen was afraid that I would get hurt and that you would beat him to death. He let me get out of the car first."
Ji Lingchen said, "Alright, I won't kill him."
Fang Xiaonuan became the mouthpiece and passed on her husband's words to Ji Wen word for word.
Ji Wen was shocked. "F*ck! My uncle must be a god! How did he know when he was out of town?"
