Wen Suihan ended the call and walked back to Bai Jicheng.
His expression remained unchanged as he said to Bai Jicheng, "Sorry, Uncle Bai, I suddenly have some matters to attend to, and I need to leave first."
Bai Jicheng had long become a shrewd man and had picked up bits and pieces of Wen Suihan's conversation.
He ventured a guess, "Is it Wen Xu… Did something happen?"
Wen Suihan's expression darkened.
Seeing the change in Wen Suihan's face, Bai Jicheng knew he had guessed correctly. This was yet another charge to hold against Wen Xu. Although he feigned concern on the surface, internally he was overjoyed.
Bai Jicheng feigned sincerity, "These youngsters are full of vigor… it's understandable. Is he alright? I happen to know someone at the city bureau. Should I speak on his behalf…"
"No need," Wen Suihan cut off Bai Jicheng directly.
Madam Bai also asked with apparent concern, "I've had Xiao Qin prepare a whole table of dishes; why the rush to leave?"
