Yi lowered her voice and muttered, "It's just a phone call, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh. In your human world, even wanted criminals get a good meal before they die, and one wish is granted. Your line of work..."
"There's no such rule in our line of work."
"Rules, rules are made by people..."
Before she finished speaking, Yi Yi's hand swiftly reached into the man's pocket. She only needed to make one phone call.
However, before she could reach out, the man suddenly moved closer to her with a stern face and grabbed her wrist.
With a cry of "Ah!", Yi stepped on the shackles with her right foot, lost her balance, and fell backward.
She also pulled the man forward.

Philadelphia, maple-lined waterfront.
“Ouyang, what’s wrong with my brother? He collapsed as soon as he came back from outside, and no one can wake him up. He keeps talking nonsense.”
In the large room, Mu Wenya, Ouyang, and Xia Bingqing were all present.
After a thorough examination, Ouyang sighed heavily and said, "A cold, and a high fever. It's almost 40 degrees Celsius."
"Why did she suddenly develop a high fever? Guoguo just recovered, and now Nanxun has collapsed." Mu Wenya's face was full of worry.
Ouyang fed Mu Nanxun the medicine. "It's not surprising. With him searching for people day and night, catching a cold and having a fever is the least of his worries. If it were more serious, or if his body were weaker, he could even die suddenly."
"Sudden...sudden death..." Mu Wenya turned pale with fright. "Ouyang, you're not allowed to talk nonsense."
"Boss, I'm not exaggerating. If he keeps going like this, he'll die suddenly sooner or later. This cold and fever is actually a good thing for him; it's a good opportunity for him to rest."
"Sigh, what can we do? Yi Yi disappeared without a trace. He won't give up until he finds her."
I wonder where Yi Yi is standing, and how she is doing.
Mu Wenya stood up from the bedside and lowered her voice, "Since he's alright and just took his medicine, let's go out and let him rest."
As he spoke, Ouyang packed his things and stood up.
Xia Bingqing stood there, hesitantly speaking, "Um... Sister Wenya, I think, I want to stay and take care of Brother Xun."
"This...isn't that inconvenient?"
“It’s not inconvenient at all, Sister Wenya. Right now, Brother Xun has a high fever, and Yi Yi isn’t here. I’m just doing this to help Yi Yi and apologize to her. It’s all my fault for being so negligent during the car accident that day. I didn’t even know when Yi Yi disappeared. If I had known this would happen, I would have kept an eye on Yi Yi even if it cost me my life.”
Speaking of the car accident, Mu Wenya was still grateful to Xia Bingqing. She took Xia Bingqing's hand, patted it gently a few times, and comforted her, "Don't say that. When the accident happened, it was good enough that you could take care of yourself, how could you take care of others? Besides, you saved Guoguo that day, you're a benefactor to our whole family. The reason I didn't let you take care of Nanxun was because you were also injured in the accident, and you've only just recovered..."
"I'm fine... I'm just worried about Brother Xun. I can't bear to watch him get sick and suffer without doing anything to him." Xia Bingqing's eyes reddened, as if she was trying hard to hold back her tears. She continued, "Don't worry, Sister Wenya, I don't have any other thoughts. I'm just thinking that whenever Brother Xun wakes up and is thirsty, I can give him a glass of water as soon as possible."
