Jia Shanliang coughed twice.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing, just choked on some water." Jia Shanliang tried hard to suppress the tremble in his voice and spoke as normally as possible.
"Really? Then why did you call me at this time?" Fan Rou asked again.
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask if you're feeling better?" Jia Shanliang asked as sincerely as possible.
To avoid raising her suspicions.
"Much better, thanks for your concern." Fan Rou replied cheerfully, completely unaware of Jia Shanliang's unease.
"Where are you now? I'll come to see you." Jia Shanliang asked in a following manner.
"No need, I'm afraid you'll expose me. Okay, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else." Without waiting for a response, Fan Rou hung up.
Jia Shanliang wanted to say something more, but only the beep-beep sound was left on the other end.
Frightened, she looked up to meet Father Fan's blurred but penetrating eyes.
"You knew each other from before, didn't you?"
