After a simple lunch with Guo Chao, Luo Ziling took the train and left Gusu.
While touring Liuyuan Garden and dining with Guo Chao, he kept his phone off to avoid being disturbed.
Only after getting on the train did he turn his phone back on.
Upon powering it up, numerous missed call notifications and text messages popped up.
Luo Ziling briefly scanned the messages from unfamiliar numbers and returned a call.
The phone was answered quickly, and a slightly authoritative male voice came through.
"Hello?" After the greeting, the man's voice softened, "Is this Mr. Luo Ziling? I'm Fu Zhongyi!"
"Oh, Mr. Fu!" Luo Ziling still didn't address Fu Zhongyi by his title, just calling him Mister, "You called me? My phone was dead today, and I just charged it after getting on the train. What can I do for you, Mr. Fu?"
Upon hearing Luo Ziling was already on the train, Fu Zhongyi felt a sinking feeling but still asked, "Did Mr. Luo leave Gusu?"
