The vicious warning in the man’s voice, together with the static over the phone line,
sounded indescribably scary.
Shen Zhilie didn’t cower. Instead, he asked breezily, “You want my woman to go?” His voice had a hint of a chuckle in it.
The man didn’t expect Shen Zhilie to react in this way, and he couldn’t decipher what Shen Zhilie was thinking.
“My woman is timid,” Shen Zhilie said unhurriedly. “She might accidentally reveal something to the police or rat you out unintentionally. Who do you think will be on the losing end if that happens?”
“Hmph! So what are you proposing?”
“I’ll go. You said it yourself. I’ve got the guts.”
“Tch!” The man clicked his tongue dismissively. “If I find out that you’re hiding something up your sleeve, I won’t let you off easily.”
“Haha… all right. I’ll be waiting.” With that, Shen Zhilie disconnected the call.
Ye Qianqian was beside him, and she clearly saw that he wasn’t as unconcerned as he made himself out to be. When Shen Zhilie placed the phone down, his palms were covered in a layer of sweat, and beads of perspiration had appeared on his forehead.
Tears welled up in Ye Qianqian’s eyes as she asked, “Old Shen, are you really going to go?”
“Yeah, I have to.” Shen Zhilie lowered his head slightly and planted a gentle kiss on Ye Qianqian’s forehead. “Don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen.”
“How can I not be afraid?” Ye Qianqian began to cry aloud. She held tightly onto Shen Zhilie’s waist. “You’re scaring me! How are you able to act so convincingly? It’s obvious that you’re nervous as h*ll, too! But you talk as if you don’t have a care in the world. It’s almost like you’re bipolar!”
