Chapter 6

It was another vibrant morning.

I was editing a WeChat message while eating soup dumplings.

Li Qianxue was talking beside me, but I turned a deaf ear.

I had to hurry.

At 9:05, I successfully sent the WeChat message to Gu Yisheng.

At the same time, I called him. When the call connected, I heard, “It’s time to enter the venue.”

“An Ge, I have to turn off my phone now. If there’s anything, let’s talk when I get home tonight.”

Gu Yisheng was about to hang up in a hurry.

I only had time to say one thing: “Yisheng, make sure to check my WeChat before you turn off your phone!”

Two hours later, when he should have had his phone off and was serving as a defense panel judge, Gu Yisheng called me.

I suppressed my pounding heart and answered.

His grave voice came slowly through the receiver: “An Ge, how did you know what happened at the venue today?”

Yes.

I had sent him, two hours in advance, all the details of the unexpected incidents and emergencies that I had learned from An Miao about the defense session.

His biggest problem was that he didn’t believe me.

Our greatest obstacle in communication was the lack of time.

Now, I had given him an impossible piece of evidence, so unbelievable that he chose to leave the defense venue.

Now, Gu Yisheng could finally take what I said seriously.

I was overwhelmed with both sorrow and joy.

After struggling helplessly and fearfully in despair and pain for so long, I finally had someone to rely on, finally was no longer alone.

I couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Yisheng, save me!”
