Lu Zhanbei took Su Jue's call as an excuse to leave.
Exiting into the main living room, Lu Zhanbei wasn't overly covert and promptly answered the call. As soon as the call connected, an excited Su Jue on the other end said, "Mr. Lu Zhanbei, there's a new lead regarding the jade pendant."
"Go on."
Had it not been for today's events, this call would have been instantly transferred to elder Mr. Gu, but...
Right now, he really wasn't interested in helping elder Mr. Gu, who had been holding him back, to looking for his missing daughter.
However, although his enthusiasm had dwindled, knowing about such matter was ultimately for his own good. So even though he wasn't willing to help elder Mr. Gu at the moment, he still genuinely listened to what Su Jue had to say.
"I found a retired clerk from that pawnshop who remembered the woman who pawned the jade pendant. Based on his description, we had an artist draw a portrait and wouldn't you know it, the woman was a familiar face."
