"Indeed, they can't take you away even if they found this place," he said as he pulled his phone out and handed it to her.
It was not her phone but his!
Fortunately, she had a good memory. She remembered both Lianyi and Sis Zhuo's phone numbers.
Therefore, Ling Yiran called Qin Lianyi first.
When Qin Lianyi answered her phone, she was so shaken that she almost dropped her phone when she heard Ling Yiran's voice. "Yiran, where... Where are you? Do you know how worried I was when Yi Jinli took you? Did Yi Jinli hurt you? How dare that son of a b*tch take you?! This is kidnapping. Kidnapping!"
Ling Yiran immediately felt awkward. The phone call was on speakerphone. In other words, Yi Jinli heard everything her best friend said.
Yi Jinli glanced at the phone with a half-smile. Ling Yiran was afraid that her best friend would say something that might annoy Yi Jinli, so she immediately said, "I'm… I'm fine, Lianyi. I just called to tell you not to worry about me. As for Sis Zhuo, I’m supposed to help her with her case, but now I may not be around. If... If I haven't come to you in a week, can you please ask Bai Tingxin to help find a good lawyer for Sis Zhuo?"
When Ling Yiran said this, Qin Lianyi immediately panicked. "What's going on? What the hell happened to you? Can't you come back even after a week? Is Yi Jinli prisoning you?"
Qin Lianyi asked a series of questions that Ling Yiran did not know how to answer.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "We have something to take care of. You don't have to worry about me. If... you can, help Sis Zhuo out!"
With that, Ling Yiran ended the call.
Yi Jinli said lightly, "You're still thinking of helping Zhuo Qianyun at such a time?"
'Huh?' She was stunned, not understanding why he asked that all of a sudden.
"There's another name for this room. ‘Splashes of Blood’," he said.
She could not help frowning. Such a name had an ominous ring to it.
"Do you know why it has such a name?" he asked again.
She shook her head. 'How could I know that?'
With a low chuckle, he pressed the switch on the display case in front of him and the glass cover over the sword slowly opened, exposing the ancient sword inside.
