Lu Ming seemed to be quite patient standing at the door.
Lili's father had his heart in his throat as Lu Ming watched him, so he felt compelled to answer the phone.
Bringing the phone slowly to his ear, he realized he had forgotten to hit the answer key.
Just as he was about to press it, the call was abruptly ended.
Lili's father exhaled slowly, relieving his anxiety.
Just as he allowed himself a sigh of relief, his daughter Lili's phone rang.
Lu Ming cast a glance over towards Lili.
Swallowing, Lili tentatively pulled her phone from her jeans pocket.
The incoming call display almost made her drop the phone to the ground.
With trembling fingers, she pressed the answer key. Immediately, she heard the wails of a woman on the other end.
"My darling daughter! Where have you and your father gone? There are police all over our house..."
Before her mother could finish speaking, Lili cut her off sharply – "You've got the wrong number!"
