After noticing her gaze, Sheng Yi turned and gave her a reassuring look before picking up the receiver and dialing the number.
Zhu Qinghao didn't dare to breathe loudly, just listened quietly. Actually, she couldn't hear very clearly, but she definitely heard the phone being connected.
After Sheng Yi clearly stated his identity and the person he was looking for, both sides of the phone fell silent.
While waiting for this moment, Sheng Yi didn't forget to comfort Zhu Qinghao beside him.
Zhu Qinghao was indeed quite nervous at this moment. If she managed to save her whole family but still couldn't keep her cousin, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.
She had even considered joining the army herself, but she couldn't come up with a foolproof plan, since her spatial ability only allowed her to move within a few hundred meters.
If she really gets there, she'll have to go in and out several times, and she might not even be able to find her cousin.
She had no desire to test a soldier's keen senses, and even if she did manage to meet her cousin, she wouldn't be able to explain to him how she got there.
So, she had to give up on these ideas in the end, but luckily, she met Sheng Yi.
Feeling the reassurance in Sheng Yi's gaze, she gave him a smile to put his mind at ease, no matter how uneasy she felt.
Sheng Yi smiled and was about to say something to her when there was a noise on the other end of the phone.
So he quickly pulled himself out of his thoughts and focused most of his attention back on the phone.
"Wenhan? This is Sheng Yi. You're not busy right now, are you? Well, I need your help with something."
After receiving an affirmative reply, Sheng Yi continued, explaining why he had made the call.
"Is that so? Don't you have someone named Zhu Qi'an?"
The person on the other end seemed a little surprised by the question, but still answered truthfully.
"Yes, he's my third platoon leader. What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this answer, Sheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Qinghao, giving her a slow nod.
Zhu Qinghao had actually heard it, but she was afraid she had misheard. Sheng Yi's nod finally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Zhu Qinghao was relieved, Sheng Yi himself also felt much more relaxed, and his conversation with the person on the other end of the phone became much more cheerful.
"Hey, I'm just back to visit my old man. He insists that his godson is over there and is questioning why I haven't taken care of him."
Honestly, I've never seen my sworn brother since I was five or six years old, let alone knew he was in our army. That's why the old man wouldn't let me eat; he insisted that I find out the truth first.
Since I'm not in the military base, I had to call you to ask around. Luckily, I'm with you, otherwise I would have had to ask you to help me find out.
If I can't find out, I doubt I'll even get to sleep on the kang (heated brick bed) tonight!
Zhu Qinghao had been staring at the person in front of her with wide eyes from the very beginning. She hadn't expected that he would push all the blame onto Old Master Sheng.
Even though she was so far away, she could hear a long string of hearty laughter coming from the other end of the phone after Sheng Yi finished speaking.
"Alright, alright, stop making fun of me. Is he there? Could you send someone to answer the phone? I need to let him know, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Grandpa when I get back."
Zhu Qinghao heard another burst of hearty laughter from the other side, followed by silence.
It seemed that the people over there had made some arrangements, and they came back to continue chatting with Sheng Yi. Through their conversation, Zhu Qinghao could sense that the two had a really good relationship.
A few minutes later, Zhu Qinghao heard Sheng Yi call out the name that she had been so worried about.
