Ye Li shifted his slender, delicate body, reaching for the phone on the pillow to answer it—"Hello—oh, it's George..."
Learning it was Director George calling,
Ye Li feigned politeness, saying, "Are you busy with work lately? Those new young officers at the police department aren't easy to manage, are they?"
George chuckled, "Haha~ You're not that old, yet you're using such an antiquated tone."
"However, at your age, to have achieved so much, you certainly have reason to be proud."
"Oh dear....it's about your sister..."
After praising him, he changed the subject, saying, "Jessica is just too willful when it comes to this superhero business..."
Director George, at his desk, was handling documents while also tattling over the phone: "....I've told her how many times, but look at her, she just won't listen!"
Ye Li felt helpless—To make Jessica turn over a new leaf, you really are tireless, aren't you?
He could only resort to his usual tactics, humoring George and saying he would definitely educate his sister and so on....
Felicia listened to their conversation and thought, "....It's Director George.....Li seems to be quite familiar with him too....."
Gwen and Ye Li's relationship hadn't been widely publicized, so she didn't know about it.
"....Right...I have money now....I can ask the Director about it....."
Thinking this,
Felicia dragged her soft, weak body, letting out a soft moan, "Mmm...ng~"
She stretched her neck like a goose, craning her head towards the phone.
She urgently whispered, "Director George...I know it's not good to interrupt while you and Li are talking.....
But I can't wait to tell you...I have money now....My father should....."
"Hmm? What?"
Hearing the sudden weak female voice on the phone,
George was stunned.
That voice was...Felicia, that girl?
"...I mean..."
Felicia thought George hadn't heard clearly, so she grabbed Ye Li's hand holding the phone with her small hand and moved closer, saying, "...I've raised the money....How much can my father's sentence be reduced by?"
George, however, was more concerned with another question: "Felicia? Why are you with Li, and why does your voice sound so...weak?"
"I..."
Felicia was embarrassed to tell the truth. She turned her head to glance at Ye Li, finding him calmly smiling at her.
As if encouraging her to say whatever she wanted.
So she lied.
"It's like this....
Director George, didn't you ask me to find Jessica to join the band?
Jessica wasn't home, so I found Li...
My voice is like this because...he wanted to test my singing voice.....to see if it sounded good....."
"That's right, George."
Ye Li smoothly took over, his tone calm and confident, making it hard to doubt him.
"I know everything."
"Felicia is a good girl. To join the band and raise money for her father, she desperately showed me her singing voice, and her throat got a bit strained, which is why she can't speak loudly now."
As he spoke,
He glanced at Felicia and said something sincere.
"However.....I have to say, her timbre is very good, and her voice is very moving~"

Chapter 64: George is very relieved! Helping the lost girl! (That's right, it's not over yet...Please give flowers! Please support)
"I thought, it seems I was overthinking it."
George trusted Ye Li greatly.
After listening, he also said with relief, "Felicia is Gwen's classmate, you really should look after her and tell her not to work too hard. The band matters should be taken slowly.....Oh, right!"
At this point, George remembered what Felicia had just said: "Felicia, you said the money has been raised?"
Felicia blinked her eyes at Ye Li.
Ye Li patted her head and replied for her, "I temporarily lent it to her; she'll pay it back, George."
"You kid, you're so rich, you just casually pulled out such a large sum."
Seeing Ye Li's immense wealth,
George also felt relieved about his daughter's future.
He sighed and joked, "Ah, our Gwen, she's going to climb a high mountain now~"
This is a common saying.
It roughly means 'marrying up.'
At this moment, it was natural to flatter.
Ye Li began to praise Gwen: "George, Gwen is also amazing; she's far more excellent than you think....."
After chatting for a while,
George felt pleased.
"How is she lately? I'm too busy with work and don't have much time, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her more."
Ye Li: "Don't worry, I'm looking after her studies, and her grades are still at the top of her class."
"Then I'm relieved."
After discussing Gwen with Ye Li,
George then turned to inform Felicia: "Felicia....some unfortunate news."
"Originally, if you had raised enough money, even if your father went to prison, he should have only received a few years' sentence."
"But some accidents happened..."
After recounting everything that had just happened at the police department,
Because he didn't know how to comfort the poor girl, George hastily hung up the phone. This was also why he only brought it up after finishing his conversation with Ye Li.
Beep—
"How could this happen..."
Listening to the busy signal of the hung-up call,
Felicia momentarily didn't know what to do.
Her father was going to be taken by the FBI.
And he was targeted and kidnapped by a super criminal...
What on earth did he do...
Looking at the confused expression of the beauty in his arms,
Ye Li gently caressed her, "Felicia, don't think too much; you did your best...."
"Mmm~"
Felicia quietly rested her head on his shoulder, knowing that this matter had already exceeded her capabilities.
"Li, could you get my phone for me? It's over by my clothes. I want to give you back the money..."
Ye Li knew what she was thinking.
He didn't object.
He rummaged through the pile of scattered clothes and finally found it under a silk-trimmed undergarment.
After Felicia took it...he quickly received a notification that the money had been transferred back.
Hmm...
Did this count as getting something for nothing?
"Li...I heard you and Director George talking...."
Listening to their conversation earlier, Felicia gradually realized that Ye Li and Gwen's relationship seemed unusual.
At this moment, she couldn't help but ask, "You and Gwen are..."
Ye Li said frankly, "Gwen is my girlfriend."
