"Sister." The voice on the other end of the phone was also unfamiliar to Zhou Sui.

Zhou Sui forced her eyes open wider and looked at the number on her phone again; it was indeed an unfamiliar number.

"You must have dialed the wrong number." She already has younger siblings, so she doesn't need to be called "sister" so early in the morning.

As Zhou Sui was about to hang up, the person on the other end hurriedly said, "I didn't dial the wrong number, sis, this is Baolai."

Bora? Li Bora?

That's right, I didn't call her the wrong person or call her the wrong person. Li Baolai should call me "sister".

The question is, how did he get his own phone number?

Thinking this to myself, Li Baolai on the other end of the phone explained, "I saw your number in my home phone book."

"Oh." Zhou Sui's attitude was somewhat indifferent.

The call fell silent for a few seconds. Zhou Sui yawned. "Is there something you need? If not, I'll hang up."

She said this in a continuous stream, which didn't sound like a question at all. If Li Baolai hadn't been quick to speak, Zhou Sui would have hung up the phone immediately.

"Sister, I need your help with something." Li Baolai's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

"Hmm." Zhou Sui responded lightly. There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Just as Zhou Sui frowned, Li Baolai spoke.

“I’m in a shop on Shixi Road right now. I broke some things in their shop, and they’re making me pay for it. I’ve taken out all the money I had with me, and it’s still not enough.”

"Sister, please lend me some money, otherwise, they... they're going to call the police and have me arrested." Li Baolai's voice choked up as he spoke.

Zhou Sui faintly heard a gruff voice shouting on the other end of the phone. She pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Call your parents." Given how much the Li family doted on Li Baolai, they wouldn't ignore him.

"Sister, I ran away from home. Please, consider that money a loan. I promise I'll pay it back."

"Please, sister, or I'll really get arrested and locked up by the police." Li Baolai was probably really scared, and he started crying as he spoke.

Although twelve-year-old Li Baolai is a bit bigger than usual, he is still a child, so it's normal for him to be scared and cry.

Zhou Sui pondered for two seconds and asked him what had happened there.

It turned out that Li Baolai went to a breakfast shop to eat. There was an ornament on the counter. Li Baolai got up to get a tissue from the counter. When he turned around, he heard a crash. The ornament fell to the ground and broke. Li Baolai didn't know how it broke.

"The shop owner said this ornament was bought in Beijing for several thousand yuan. Waaah, sis, what am I going to do? I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself."

A decorative item worth several thousand yuan, just displayed on the counter like that? That's ridiculous.

"Hey kid, when are your parents coming over? If they don't come soon, I'm calling the police and having you arrested and locked in a dark room." The shop owner's voice was fierce and menacing, and Li Baolai trembled with fear.

"Sister." Zhou Sui's head was throbbing from being called "sister" so many times.

"Tell me the address of this store." Hearing this, Li Baolai seemed to see a glimmer of hope; Zhou Sui was willing to come and save him.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sui immediately dialed 110, briefly explained the situation to the police, emphasized that only a child of about ten years old was present, and then gave them the address.

After doing all this, she tossed her phone aside and rolled over to find a more comfortable position.

The boss was yelling that he was going to call the police, so go ahead and call him. It only costs a few cents to make a phone call, but who knows who will end up getting punished?
