Chapter 724 Fatal Serial Calls
As soon as the jeep arrived at the door, the mute woman hurried over and couldn't wait to open the door.
She was so anxious that she opened her mouth to speak: "Miss Ye, you are finally back!"
Wang Honghong was surprised when she heard the mute woman talking: "Mute woman, you, you, you can speak?"
The mute woman didn't bother to explain and walked into the yard with Ye Rou in her arms.
When Ye Rou saw the mute woman so anxious, she knew it was over: "Did Jiang Chen call back?"
The mute woman nodded, her tone heavy: "Master Jiang, I've already called three times."
Wang Honghong followed behind, looking curious: "Brother Jiang is on the train, how did he make the call?"
Liu Yutang patted his head and said, "Is this the point?"
“Ah—it hurts.”
Wang Honghong covered her head and frowned:
"I missed three calls. My sister-in-law is in trouble. I'm doomed. I'm going to die anyway. Why don't you ask me what happened?"
Before Brother Jiang left, he patted his chest and vowed to protect his sister-in-law.
Now it's all over.
As soon as Ye Rou entered the courtyard, she saw Grandpa Zhou running around in the yard in a panic.
When Zhou Yuqing saw Ye Rou coming back, his anxious expression eased and he quickly came forward to greet her: "Rou girl, you're finally back!"
Ye Rou followed Grandpa Zhou into the outer hall. Seeing that Grandpa, Grandma Song, and Auntie were all there, she was so nervous that she swallowed her saliva.
"Did Jiang Chen say anything?"
Zheng Zhiyuan shook his head: "On the first call, he asked where you were. When he called again, he hung up when he heard it wasn't you who answered."
It's over.
Ye Rou sat down next to the phone, intending to answer it as soon as it rang, trying to make up for her loss.
Everyone is waiting for the next call.
Wang Honghong stood outside the door, trembling with fear: "Brother Jiang, he... shouldn't... run back... right?"
When everyone heard this, their faces changed.
Liu Yutang shook his head repeatedly: "How is that possible?"
Only a madman would do such a thing as running back from the train just because of a phone call.
But... that kid seems to be really crazy, maybe he can really do such a thing.
Liu Yutang's face looked grim, and everyone present also changed their expressions when they thought of this possibility.
Wang Honghong was shaking with fear.
He really thought Brother Jiang would come back.
"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
He took off running.
Seeing him running away, everyone in the room became more and more nervous.
Zheng Zhiyuan was afraid of scaring Xiaorou, so he comforted her, "Let's see if he calls again. He may not come back."
He said the last sentence hesitantly.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The phone is ringing!
Everyone was shocked, and Ye Rou immediately picked up the phone: "Jiang Chen!"
"Be good." Jiang Chen's voice was strange.
Ye Rou hummed, and quickly explained, "I was wrong. I came back late. I should have come back earlier, but something happened with Master. I went to see him and I found he was fine. He didn't fight or get hurt."
After saying this in one breath, Ye Rou took a deep breath.
Jiang Chen on the other end of the phone didn't sound angry, his voice was calm: "Don't let it happen again."
"I see."
Ye Rou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Jiang Chen didn't blame her.
Seeing Ye Rou's relaxed expression, Zheng Zhiyuan smiled with relief, stood up and signaled everyone to leave, leaving the space for Ye Rou.
Seeing the elders leave, Ye Rou sat more relaxed.
It seemed a little quiet over there, so I asked curiously, "Why is it so quiet over there?"
Jiang Chen: "Not on the train, I'm in a phone booth."
Ye Rou felt guilty when she thought about how Jiang Chen called her every time he arrived at a station and she hadn't answered. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Chen said softly, "Have you eaten?"
"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
"Go eat later." Jiang Chen reminded: "Cover yourself with the quilt at night, don't jump around, walk carefully, and remember to take the medicine on time..."
Jiang Chen's voice sounded a little distorted over the phone line. She could only hear his voice but couldn't see him. Ye Rou wrapped her fingers around the phone line and suddenly whispered, "Jiang Chen, I miss you."
Jiang Chen paused his words, his deep voice slightly hoarse: "I'll be back soon, take care of yourself."
"Okay." Ye Rou knew the train wouldn't stop for long, and worried he'd miss it, so she hurriedly said, "Go back quickly, and remember to eat well."
"good."
The phone was hung up.
Ye Rou rubbed the tip of her nose which felt slightly sore.
The mute woman waiting outside the door gestured: Dinner is ready.
"Okay." Ye Rou stood up and walked out.
He walked slower and slower, until he finally stopped.
The mute woman looked at Ye Rou in confusion, and seeing that her brows were tightly furrowed, she gestured: Miss Ye, what's wrong?
Ye Rou: "I always feel like something is wrong."
——
Jiang Chen walked out of the phone booth, glanced at the figure hiding nearby, and waved: "Come here."
Wang Honghong walked out dejectedly: "Brother Jiang, I was wrong."
If he dies someday, it will be a tragic death.
He originally ran away because he was afraid that Brother Jiang would really come back and kill him, but he didn't expect to run into him as soon as he went out.
Wang Honghong begged for mercy: "Brother Jiang, since I confessed voluntarily, please forgive me this time."
The old man grumbled, and Jiang Chen was annoyed: "Okay, shut up."
When Wang Honghong heard this, she knew the matter was over. She felt relieved, but she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Brother Jiang, you're back now, why don't you go in and see your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Chen raised his head and glanced at the nearby courtyard: "It will scare her."
Jinshi is Li Rui's territory, so Jiang Chen naturally couldn't go there alone.
But Li Rui knew him, so in order to dispel Li Rui's suspicion, Jiang Chen was the only one who set out with the inspection team.
Secretly, Cheng Gang, Meng Guan and Gao Ming drove to Jinshi, planning to meet up there.
After Ye Rou didn't answer the first call, Jiang Chen rushed back and drove all the way back to Beijing.
Originally, he wanted to wait for the person to come back and teach him a lesson, but when he was about to enter, Jiang Chen hesitated.
But he ran back without answering the phone. Ye Rou knew that he would probably be scared.
She might feel that he was watching her too closely, and if that made her afraid of him...
Even if there was only a slight possibility, Jiang Chen didn't dare to gamble.
Just at this moment, Wang Honghong ran out of the yard. When she saw him, her eyes widened instantly, as if she had seen a ghost.
Jiang Chen covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Wang Honghong was frightened and immediately explained the whole story.
Knowing that Ye Rou was not injured, she had returned home safely.
Jiang Chen didn't go in, but went to the corner phone booth to make a call.
Only after hearing her voice did Jiang Chen feel completely relieved.
Cheng Gang has been exhausted.
When Jiang Chen came back from racing, Cheng Gang was so angry that he started cursing, but it was useless because Jiang Chen didn't care about him at all.
After setting off for a whole day, looking back, you realize that you have actually been standing still. Anyone would collapse.
But there was no other way, because he had to beg Jiang Chen to help him solve the case.
Cheng Gang said respectfully, "Master Jiang, your wife is fine. Can we leave this time?"
Jiang Chen asked Wang Honghong to keep it a secret.
Wang Honghong covered her mouth and nodded vigorously to ensure that he would not say a word.
Jiang Chen took one last look at the yard before saying, "Let's go."
As he turned around, a familiar voice that was engraved in his bones sounded behind him.
As soft as ever, with a hint of uncertainty: "Jiang Chen?"
