Not long after.
Ring, ring, ring—
Youyou’s phone rang again.
Caller ID: Chief Editor Zhang Yixing.
“It’s the chief editor’s call,” Youyou, just having finished eating noodles, said to Lin Chuan as she picked up the phone, and then answered.
“Youyou, are you available to talk right now?”
On the other end, Chief Editor Zhang Yixing’s voice came through.
Youyou glanced at Lin Chuan beside her, then around her, before replying, “Yes, I’m available. Is there something you need?”
Zhang Yixing chuckled and replied, “I mainly wanted to ask about your current situation, how much money you will have to compensate, and whether you’ll face prosecution and possibly prison time.”
“How much money to compensate…”
Youyou hesitated for a moment, then said, “The police haven’t made any determinations yet, so I don’t know.”
Because related information needed to remain confidential, Youyou did not disclose the specifics to Chief Editor Zhang Yixing.
She and Lin Chuan, in the eyes of outsiders, were still in a ‘released on bail pending trial’ state.
“I see.”
Zhang Yixing paused for a moment, then asked, “Youyou, is Lin Chuan with you?”
“Yes, what about it?” Youyou asked.
“I need to speak with him; it might relate to the development of your subsequent case,” Zhang Yixing’s voice turned heavy as he spoke.
“Relate to the development of our subsequent case?”
Youyou’s brows furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes, “Chief Editor, please talk to Lin Chuan directly.”
“Okay.”
Zhang Yixing responded.
Immediately after,
Youyou handed the phone to Lin Chuan, who said, “Chief Editor Zhang.”
“Brother Lin, I didn’t sleep well last night after this incident happened, worrying about you both,” Zhang Yixing said with a somber tone.
Lin Chuan chuckled and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Chief Editor Zhang.”
“Don’t mention it. If you really end up going in, Sailing Novel would lose a fierce general!” Zhang Yixing let out a light sigh, his voice tinged with regret,
It was apparent that he was genuinely concerned for Lin Chuan and Youyou.
Lin Chuan smiled and then said, “There’s always a way out; there must be a solution.”
“Brother Lin, your optimism gives me some relief,” Zhang Yixing chuckled as well, then continued, “Brother Lin, it’s like this, I’ve been consulting people in the antiques circle from last night till now, thinking if there might be a remedial method.”
“So, does that mean you’ve found a way, Chief Editor Zhang?” Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling as he spoke.
“It isn’t that I found a way, but someone is willing to help you,” Chief Editor Zhang Yixing answered.
“Is it Mr. Hu?”
Lin Chuan was taken aback, his mind recalling the scene of their meeting from yesterday afternoon.
Before Hu Shu left the exhibition area, he had not forgotten to remind Lin Chuan that if he encountered any difficulties or needed anything, he could seek help at his ‘Ancient Moon’ private museum.
The man was actually quite nice.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yixing nodded to confirm, “Yes, Mr. Hu, out of his appreciation for talent, just revealed to me that he might have a good way to give you a lift.”
“What’s the method?” Lin Chuan inquired.
“He didn’t say. He only asked you to meet him at his ‘Ancient Moon’ private museum,” Zhang Yixing said solemnly, “Are you free now? I can pick you up and go over together to ask Mr. Hu what method he has in mind.”
Lin Chuan looked at Youyou, then nodded, “Youyou and I are at Crab Family Courtyard.”
“Alright, I’ll come to get you.”
Straightaway, the call was ended.
