Actually, it's not that they couldn't use their phones, but there are devices around here that block signals, preventing anyone from sending messages.
Xu Qiaoqiao's arrival was to deliver the signal transmitter to Ye Qijun!
So, after their meeting, her mission, theoretically, should be considered complete.
However…
Xu Qiaoqiao coughed lightly: "It's, um, in my suitcase."
Ye Qijun: "Where's the suitcase?"
"In the small courtyard over there."
Ye Qijun: …
Judging by the earlier scene, if Xu Qiaoqiao insisted on retrieving the suitcase, it would indeed arouse Gao Yuanqing's suspicion.
So not fetching it was actually the most prudent choice. Now though…
Xu Qiaoqiao looked a bit awkward: "What do we do now?"
Such an important item—she dared not carry it with her. What if someone searched her?
Ye Qijun pondered for a moment and turned to Xu Qiaoqiao: "Did you bring me any local specialties?"
Xu Qiaoqiao: "…No."
Ye Qijun: …
"Then what do you urgently need?"
