Her heart started pounding the moment she saw the phone number. "Xiaojue... Xiaojue... It's me... It's me..."
On the other end, Huang Xiaojue's voice was choked with emotion, but he quickly composed himself, speaking very softly, "Xixi, are you okay?"
"I'm okay, Xiaojue, I'm alright, don't worry..."
"Xixi, tell me your exact address. I'm coming to pick you up right now."
"No need, Xiaojue. I can make it home myself."
"Xixi, I saw your video at one of Wan Donglin's other houses today. You have a head injury. Is it serious?"
"It's no big deal, Xiaojue, just a superficial injury!" Her voice was unexpectedly soft. "Xiaojue, I'm practically free now; I can leave whenever I want. Wan Donglin hasn't done anything to me. But I don't want to just run away. I must accomplish one more thing before I go. This way, I can end it once and for all, so he won't bother me anymore."
"Xixi, just get out of there first. We'll talk after that. It's too risky to stay."
