Chapter 199 Breaking Promise
The next morning, Qing Yanrou and her classmates took a bus to leave Majuhe Township. Before getting on the bus, she received a call from Jian Mo.
Only then did she remember that she had promised Jian Mo to help him, but she had forgotten it.
But Jian Mo didn't expect that she had forgotten. He called just to tell her about the case of the wild goose spirit in Majuhe Township.
From him, she learned that Fusheng was a B&B run by the Liu sisters, and that the mountain guard, Uncle Liu, had already surrendered to the police last night.
No wonder she didn't meet him last night, that's why.
"What is it you want me to help with? If it's not urgent, I'll go back to Jing City."
After listening to what he said, Qing Yanrou looked at Han Nianlu and the others who were constantly looking around in the car, and asked Jian Mo on the other end of the phone.
"It's urgent, very urgent. I'm coming to Majuhe Township to pick you up now. Don't leave, wait for me!"
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Qing Yanrou's reply. He said hello to the busy team members and drove quickly to Majuhe Township, fearing that if he was too late, she would return to Beijing.
After she returns to Beijing, she doesn't know when she can come to T City again, so he must seize this opportunity and not miss it.
There was a "beep, beep, beep" sound from the phone, and she had to go and tell Han Nianlu and the others that she couldn't go back with them.
"You guys go back first, I need to do something here."
"Do you need us to accompany you?"
The three of them didn't ask her what was going on, but just asked with concern if she needed them to accompany her.
"It's okay, I can do it on my own."
She smiled at them, then walked a few steps forward and looked inside the carriage. When she saw the squad leader, she called out.
"Squad leader, I won't go back with you. You don't have to wait for me."
As soon as the car arrived, the students from the Journalism Department couldn't wait to get on, leaving her alone in the back to answer the phone.
But no one else expressed any dissatisfaction. After all, after seeing Liang Yong and his roommates in the dormitory and Han Nianlu and the other two yesterday, they only had admiration for her.
The time they spent waiting for her to call was no time at all to them.
"Okay, then be careful."
The squad leader didn't ask her what was wrong, but just gave her some caring advice and let the driver drive away.
She didn't look away until the bus was out of sight. Suddenly, she remembered that she had agreed with Chu Tingbai to go back early.
She held her forehead and wondered why she kept forgetting what she promised these past two days.
It seemed that she was still affected by what King Qin Guang said yesterday. She shook her head, waved away the random thoughts in her mind, took out her cell phone and called Chu Tingbai.
"Beep—"
The phone was picked up after only two rings.
"My dear."
It was still early, and his deep voice had a hint of hoarseness from having just woken up.
She suddenly didn't know how to start. After all, this seemed to be the first time she broke her promise to him. After a long time, she called him softly.
"Chu Tingbai."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"It might be a few days before I can go back."
The person on the other end of the line paused briefly, then asked in confusion, "Is the Goose Spirit causing any trouble?"
"No, a policeman asked me to do a favor."
"Okay, then I'll come find you when I'm done, okay?"
Qing Yanrou gripped the phone with a little force, then whispered:
"No, Ning Jinghuai is back, you can spend more time with him..."
"Master Qing, I'm here to pick you up, let's go."
Before she finished speaking, Jian Mo's loud voice came from behind her. She turned around, looked at him, and then said to the phone:
"You should spend more time with him. I'll be back after I'm done here. I'm going to be busy now. Bye."
After a long time, she heard him hum in a low voice, then she hung up the phone and walked towards Jian Mo.
What she didn't know was that someone was listening to the busy tone with a sullen face, putting away his phone and chuckling helplessly.
