Qiao Nian looked at the number.
She was about to click on it when the screen suddenly lit up again.
It was still the sa overseas phone number as before.
"Hello." Qiao Nian picked it up.
She leaned back slightly and placed the phone by her ear. After taking a shower, her voice was moist and hoarse. "Who are you looking for?"
She could hear the sound of the motorcycle on the other end of the cell phone and the loud voices of passers-by. The background noise was loud.
However, these were not as important to her as the person's heavy breathing.
"Hello?"
Qiao Nian looked at her cell phone patiently.
The call was still on.
The other party did not hang up.
Her brows furrowed. "Can you hear ?"
The person on the other end seed to have woken up from a dream and shouted in a broken voice, "Nian, Qiao… Nian Nian."
Qiao Nian suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the window, then asked in a low voice, "Where are you? Didn't you go to Continent M? What happened?"
…
At the entrance of a foreign street.
Ji Nan used the money he got from pawning his watch to make a call from a public phone by the roadside. The phone booth blocked the wind and rain outside, but it could not block the storm raging in his heart.
At this mont, hearing the girl's anxious voice, he grabbed the pay phone tightly. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he said with difficulty, "My father and I were… attacked."
"Where are you now?" Qiao Nian asked in her usual low voice.
Ji Nan could not stop trembling. He looked around in a daze. "I'm on a coast nearby."
He did not know where he was.
Ji Nan only rembered that before he was sent away, Ji Lingfeng had instructed him to contact Qiao Nian as soon as he arrived at a safe place…
Just thinking of what happened a few hours ago was too painful for him to think.
"I'm on a coast nearby. I see a block. Next to it is a jewelry store. The na is—is—"
"Alright, just stay where you are and don't leave."
Qiao Nian realized that he had lost control of his emotions. She did not force him to tell her the exact location. Instead, she slowly said, "Wait for . I'll get soone to get you."
Ji Nan seed to have been injected with a booster. "Okay."
Always a woman of action, while talking to Ji Nan, Qiao Nian walked back to the desk and turned on the location search engine on her laptop.
She entered the overseas number into the search engine and clicked Enter…
The progress bar moved forward. She would be able to locate Ji Nan in less than a minute.
The progress bar was almost at 90%.
On the other end, Ji Nan seed to be trying to control his emotions. His throat was hoarse as he spoke, "My father…"
"Mm?" Qiao Nian adjusted the paraters, wanting to find out his exact location as soon as possible.
Ji Nan clenched his fists as water droplets fell down his hair and eyelashes. It was unclear if it was rain or tears. "My father and Uncle He were on the ship. The ship exploded not long after I was sent away. I don't know if the two of them are still alive."
