Zhao Muyun released a quiet sigh of relief and said to Ye Xi, "You should understand."
Ye Xi indeed understood.
After Zhao Muyun had left, the SIM card from Tan Shu was quickly delivered to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi stared at the card for a long time before taking it.
Tan Shu did not leave but stayed by her side - this was Zhao Muyun's instruction.
Ye Xi took a long time to think before she put the SIM card into her phone and dialed Lu Lingxiao's number.
The phone rang once and Lu Lingxiao picked up on the other end.
It was clear how eagerly he had been waiting for news from Ye Xi.
"Hello?"
Ye Xi calmed her nervous emotions and said into the phone, "It's me."
"Where are you?" Lu Lingxiao's tone sounded particularly urgent.
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Xi said, "I'm not in the country."
Indeed, just as Zhao Muyun had said.
What followed was a long silence on the other end of the line.
Lu Lingxiao's voice then rose again, sounding low, "You need money, why didn't you tell me?"
