Pei Jiao’s tone became more and more serious. On the other end of the line, Beike’s expression was also very solemn. “You’ll die?”
Pei Jiao:
Beike hurriedly asked, “Is your place inside or outside the country?”
“l don’t think I left the country…” Pei Jiao was not too sure. She had always thought that this base was on the border of the capital. Moreover, it was not far from the place where she had followed Wei Yu.
But that day, standing on the tower, she realized that she couldn’t see any highway at a glance. There were only mountains. If Wei Yu hadn’t pointed her in the direction, she wouldn’t have known which road was coming here.
When Bei Ke heard Pei Jiao’s uncertain tone, he seemed to have thought of something and asked worriedly, “Don’t tell me you were sold to Southeast Asia? That place is a hell where even Sun Wukong will be slapped twice. If you’re sold to that place, you can only be careful in your next life.”
Pei Jiao said angrily, “You haven’t contacted me for so long, but your mouth is still as vicious as ever.’
Beike said, “We haven’t contacted each other for so long. You shouldn’t have any organs missing.”
Pei Jiao pretended to hang up. “Forget it. Let me die here.”
Beike panicked. “Hey, hey, hey, don’t hang up, don’t hang up. I was just teasing you. Do you know that I’m more anxious than anyone else when 1 can’t find you?”
Pei Jiao said, “l don’t feel anything.”
Beike held it in for a long time before saying, “1 miss you every day.” Pei Jiao smiled. “What do you miss about me? Me beating you up?”
“Yes, 1 want you to beat me up. When you come back, you’ll beat me up every day.” Beike’s tone was like that of a resentful wife.
Pei Jiao took down her cell phone and looked at the time. She had been chatting with Beike for six minutes. Wei Yu had yet to return, which meant that he should not have realized that her cell phone was missing.
But it was also possible to find out. She quickly made it short. “Remember to look at the picture I sent you later. I’ll delete all the records on my end. Remember not to call back, or I’ll die.’
Beike said, “It’s not my first day out. I know the rules.”
“It’s good that you know. We’ll talk about the rest when I come back. Kneel, little guest.” With that, Pei Jiao hung up. Beike laughed in anger. “Kneel? Pfft.”
Pei Jiao took out the map she had already drawn from the gap in the bedside table. After spreading it out, she clicked on her camera and took a picture of the hand-drawn map. Then she texted it to Beike. Within seconds of sending it, the phone rang.
Pei Jiao was so frightened that her hand trembled and she almost shook her phone off. Her heart thundered as she stared at the caller ID on her phone screen.
It was Ji He! Would Ji He call her at this time?
Obviously, Wei Yu had discovered that his cell phone was missing and used Ji He’s phone to call this cell phone. Pei Jiao hesitated whether to answer it when the other party called a second time or now. After some hesitation, she chose to pick it up now.
“Hello? Ji He?” Pei Jiao asked softly.
The man’s deep voice came from the receiver. “Fei Yi, it’s me.”
Pei Jiao calmed herself down. “Wei Yu?”
“Yes,” Wei Yu said. “l just realized that my cell phone is missing. so I used Ji He’s phone to call it. It seems that I left it with you. I’ll come and get it tomorrow. ”
“So it’s your phone. I thought it was the phone you gave me. It all looks the same,” Pei Jiao said and suggested, “Why don’t I send it to you now?”
“No need. The laboratory is far from here,” Wei Yu reminded her. “Rest early.
I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Pei Jiao did not deliberately try to find a conversation. “Alright then.” After hanging up, Pei Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. However, before she could heave a sigh of relief, her cell phone rang again.
Pei Jiao was a little weak. Although she saw that the caller ID was a familiar number, she did not relax much. She picked it up and pressed the phone to her ear. “You found out so quickly?” she said weakly.
Beike could tell that something was wrong with her tone. “What’s going on? Just now, your tone was full of vigor as you scolded me. It’s only been a few minutes, but you’re already listless. Were you bullied?”
“I’m just a little weak from shock. Let’s get down to business. Did you really find my current address based on that map?” Pei Jiao asked.
“I’m just so awesome!” Beike’s tone was a little smug. “I’ve been looking for you for so long, mainly because I don’t have any clues. I went on the satellite to look for this clue you just gave me, and I really found it.. You’re at Base
XXX, right?”
