The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Because this number was the unique one only she knew!

It was the number that Dongfang Yu specifically set up for her…

So this call must have been made by Dongfang Yu!

Hai Xiaotang’s hands were trembling with excitement, she didn’t dare to delay for a moment and quickly picked up the call, “Hello, Dongfang Yu, is that you?”

“It’s me!” From the other end came Dongfang Yu’s deep, longing-filled voice.

The tears in Hai Xiaotang’s eyes fell without warning.

“Dongfang Yu, where are you? Are you okay, are you hurt?” Hai Xiaotang asked nervously.

Dongfang Yu chuckled, “I’m fine. Hai Xiaotang, I only have a little time to call you. Listen, I won’t be harmed, I will… ”

“Bang–”

While Hai Xiaotang was listening to Dongfang Yu’s words, she suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot from the other end.

And Dongfang Yu’s voice was suddenly cut off!

Hai Xiaotang’s mind buzzed, she unconsciously, tentatively said: “Hello… ”

But the call was cut off, she couldn’t hear anything.

“Hello…” Hai Xiaotang tried again, refusing to give up, “Dongfang Yu, can you hear me? Dongfang Yu…”

From the other end, there was still no sound.

Hai Xiaotang, shaking, put down the phone only to find the call had already ended.

She immediately tried calling back, but it never got through again.

Hai Xiaotang fell to her knees on the floor, tirelessly, repeatedly calling, only to be greeted by a mechanical female voice each time.

[Sorry, the number you dialed is unreachable…]

Not turned off, not out of range, but unreachable.

Why can’t it get through?

Why was there a gunshot?

Hai Xiaotang didn’t dare to think about anything, all she knew was that her heart was in agony!

He Meilian walked into the kitchen to find Hai Xiaotang kneeling on the floor, tears streaming down her face, frantically dialing a number.

Seeing her in such a strange state, He Meilian was shocked.

“Xiaotang, what’s wrong?!” She hurriedly asked.

But Hai Xiaotang didn’t hear her, she just kept dialing the number…

“Xiaotang, what the hell is wrong? What are you doing?” He Meilian shook her forcefully, a bad premonition welling up in her heart.

Hai Xiaotang finally looked up blankly, “I’m trying to call Dongfang Yu…”

Boom–

He Meilian suddenly went pale, her voice trembling, “Why are you calling him?”

“He just called me, but suddenly the call ended… I need to call him back, I must get through…”

“Why did it suddenly cut off?” He Meilian asked again, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Hai Xiaotang suddenly stiffened, then He Meilian saw the limitless fear and sorrow in her eyes, as well as her seemingly unreal words.

“I heard a gunshot…”

He Meilian’s head suddenly started spinning, like Hai Xiaotang, she fell to her knees, her body going limp.

*******************

Hai Xiaotang was in a daze.

Every day, not eating, not drinking, just clutching her phone.

No matter who tried to coax her, she didn’t react. But she didn’t cry, didn’t make a fuss—just quietly, blankly clung to her phone.

She was waiting for Dongfang Yu’s call.

But one day passed, then two, then three…

The unique number Dongfang Yu had set up for her never rang again.
