Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

As antiqued as Gao Yiyang’s father’s cell phone was, the display of the number keys was the same as that of modern cell phones. According to the way Gao Yiyang’s father moved his fingers as he dialed the phone, the numbers stated by Ye Jian should be correct.

Director Li felt a bit relieved as she heard about the contact method of the assistant of Gao Yiyang’s father. ”How lucky that you know it. Come, let’s ask the receptionist to dial this number.”

It was Bale who was working at the front desk. Blinking secretly at Ye Jian, he smiled and dialed the phone number for Director Li.

The assistant of Gao Yiyang’s father answered the phone. A few minutes later, he contacted Gao Yiyang’s father.

”It’s your classmate. You want to say something to her?” said Gao Yiyang’s father with a cold look in his eyes. His only son didn’t bother to look at him. ”She’s concerned about you. Speak to her.”

Gritting his teeth, Gao Yiyang turned around and took over the phone. ”Hello?” he said. And then he heard Ye Jian’s clear voice. ”Where are you? You promised to be back at the hotel half an hour ago.”

In front of Ye Jian, Director Li wrote down a line of words, which Ye Jian repeated to Gao Yiyang.

”Sorry, I am on my way,” said Gao Yiyang. He didn’t expect it was Ye Jian who called him, but his tone became less indifferent. ”I will be back at the hotel in ten minutes. Bye.”

He hung up the phone. Swiftly, Ye Jian put the speaker back onto the landline phone. ”He said he would be back in ten minutes. Don’t worry, just go have dinner.” As soon as she put down the phone, it rang again. This time, the receptionist answered it.

”Excuse me,” said Bale to Ye Jian politely. ”It’s your friend. She said it was an emergency.”

It was an urgent call from Yang Ye, who asked Ye Jian to go to the supermarket immediately.

Director Li didn’t know where the supermarket was. Bale led Ye Jian to the supermarket. Since Ye Jian needed to buy female products, she turned down Bale’s company, indicating that she had known the way back to the hotel. Alone, she went into the supermarket to purchase underpants and tampons for Yang Ye.

The time was past seven o’clock. Just like the cities in China, the street lamps in Sydney had lit up and the traffic was very busy.

The sidewalks were a bit dimmed as the street lamps were blocked by the tall trees alongside the streets. The figures of a few pedestrians were vaguely visible.

Carrying a weightless bag, Ye Jian walked back to the hotel. About one kilometer from the hotel, she saw Gao Yiyang in front of her. Pacing slowly, he seemed absent-minded.

Ye Jian stopped walking and pursed her lips. But in the end, she decided to chase after him.

”Excuse me, excuse me!” apologized Gao Yiyang. When Ye Jian was a few meters away from Gao Yiyang, she saw the preoccupied Gao Yiyang bumping into a boy who was running while holding something in his arms. Splash! The items in the boy’s arm fell onto the ground between them.

Both of them were shocked. And they both bent over.

Ye Jian had moved aside. The boy Gao Yiyang ran into was none other than the Vietnamese boy!

”Tell your classmate to leave, Ye Jian,” said Xia Jinyuan sternly from the earpieces. Ye Jian’s plan was to keep hiding until the Vietnamese boy walked away. After she heard Xia Jinyuan’s instruction, she walked out from the dark with a serious countenance.
