Gu Qiusha regretted it immensely and was blaming herself: "Ugh, I really was blind, I shouldn't have sought out that Wu... hic!"
Startled by the phone's vibration, she hiccuped and quickly answered. It was a colleague from Gu Yuzhi's law firm: "Miss Gu, do you know when Professor Gu will be back? Granny Yang's case has been accepted for appeal, and the court session is tomorrow. Although there's a 99% chance we can't beat Lawyer Shangguan, and we probably won't be able to overturn the case, we can't afford to be intimidated and not show up. But we can't reach Professor Gu at this crucial moment..."
Gu Qiusha was taken aback and quickly asked in rebuttal, "I don't know when he's coming back, but do you know where he went?"
The colleague was momentarily confused by the tongue-twister-like question, then stammered a reply: "Didn't Professor Gu say he was going to Qingcheng on a business trip to help you discuss copyright issues?"
