Yue Qingqing was even more impressed by Second Senior Brother’s business acun when she heard him.
With the way he put it, installing surveillance was actually beneficial to business without any downsides.
Although she knew part of it was to ease her mind, Yue Qingqing indeed felt less guilty.
The two chatted a bit more, and then Zhou Yiran suddenly chuckled.
"Qingqing, but there’s sothing I feel a bit sorry about."
Yue Qingqing’s heart leapt to her throat. How could it be a small matter if Second Senior Brother felt sorry towards her?
"Wh-what is it?"
Zhou Yiran sheepishly said, "Just when you called about the surveillance installation, I happened to be discussing business with Jiang Jingze."
Yue Qingqing imdiately sensed trouble, "Did he hear it?"
"He’s not a cultivator; his hearing isn’t that sharp."
But Yue Qingqing was not reassured, "Oh, Second Senior Brother, just tell everything at once."
"I was just preparing you ntally. Although that guy didn’t hear what you were saying, my phone was on the table when I answered the call, and he glanced at it. He probably recognized it was your number, but he didn’t ask."
"But knowing his personality, he’ll definitely look into it later, so I couldn’t hide it when I sent the assistant to buy the equipnt that day... So, you better think about how to deal with it later."
With that, Zhou Yiran uncharacteristically hung up first, leaving Yue Qingqing standing there dumbfounded.
This...
No wonder Jiang Jingze hadn’t called since yesterday.
With his intelligence, he must have guessed her intentions.
Jiang Jingze had ntioned before that he didn’t want her to put herself in danger.
If sothing happens, she should tell him and they could discuss it together.
This ti, not only did Yue Qingqing act on her own, but she also kept silent about it to avoid worrying Jiang Jingze.
Yue Qingqing was certain that Jiang Jingze already knew about her being summoned for interrogation.
Though it’s her first ti in a relationship, she’s seen enough to know about relationships.
With the internet becoming more advanced, Yue Qingqing had also seen others share relationship advice.
She knew that communication is the most important thing in a relationship, and keeping secrets is the biggest taboo.
Jiang Jingze must be very worried, yet she had kept him in the dark.
It’s imaginable how angry he must be now.
No wonder Second Senior Brother hung up the call feeling guilty.
Yue Qingqing felt an intense headache, much more than when she was at the police station.
Dialing that number she knew by heart backwards, she hesitated.
Even though she knew her boyfriend was waiting for her to confess, people always feel guilty when they do sothing wrong.
It’s like a kid who’s scored low would dawdle until the last mont, reluctantly taking out the paper from the backpack, anxiously waiting for the parent’s signature.
Yue Qingqing uncharacteristically felt at a loss, not knowing what to do.
But if she faces it now or later, it’ll still be the sa; she bit her lip and pressed the call button.
Jiang Jingze usually picks up within three rings.
This ti, however, it took a bit longer.
But not too long.
Still, Yue Qingqing felt every second dragged on thanks to her guilt.
"Qingqing." Jiang Jingze’s voice sounded as gentle as ever, but Yue Qingqing swallowed hard.
"I-I confess..."
Jiang Jingze paused for a mont, "Confess what?"
Yue Qingqing carefully said, "Confess that I shouldn’t have hidden things from you."
"Hidden what from ?"
"It’s just that..." Yue Qingqing was at a loss for words on how to explain.
Then she heard Jiang Jingze coldly say, "Did you hide from that for so long you’ve been dealing with such a dangerous woman, putting yourself at risk? Or did you hide from that you were almost drugged and humiliated? Or perhaps you hid from that you were summoned for interrogation, handcuffed and detained in an interrogation room for hours?"
