Chapter 2677 — Shen Yushu's Phone Call
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Oh." Gu Mengyao did not give it much thought. If the call was from Chen Yuxuan, then Shen Yushu would likely be on the phone for quite a while, and it was only natural that she would take it in the bathroom rather than let it disturb her viewing.
"Hello?" Only once she was inside the bathroom did Shen Yushu cautiously answer the phone, lowering her voice to ask, "What is it? Are you giving me the antidote? It is not time yet, is it?"
"Xiaoshu, there is something I need to confirm with you. Where is Wei Zhao right now?" Yu Yi did not answer her question, but asked directly instead.
"Wei Zhao... he is at home, of course. Why? Do not tell me you want me to deal with him again?" Shen Yushu asked in return.
"At home? Are you certain?" Yu Yi asked.
"Yes, in his room. Do you want to speak with him?" Shen Yushu realized she had guessed wrong. Yu Yi's call was neither to give her the antidote nor to have her deal with Wei Zhao—he merely wanted to inquire about Wei Zhao's whereabouts.
"He has not left at any point before this?" Yu Yi asked, still not entirely certain.
"No, he has not left." Shen Yushu was all the more baffled, unable to guess what Yu Yi was up to.
"Then that is all." With that, Yu Yi hung up.
"??" How baffling! Shen Yushu put away her phone and stepped out of the bathroom, privately wondering what had gotten into Yu Yi to make him place such a strange call.
"Oh? Xiaoshu, are you done with your call already? That was fast?" Gu Mengyao was rather surprised to see Shen Yushu return so soon.
"Ah, my brother had only said a couple of words before something came up. You know what his work is like..." Shen Yushu shook her head helplessly.
"Oh." Gu Mengyao nodded, gave it no further thought, and went back to watching television.
Meanwhile, on Yu Yi's end, he relayed what Shen Yushu had said to the Rain family patriarch.
"You are certain Wei Zhao is at home and did not come here?" The Rain family patriarch frowned, and doubt began to stir in his heart once more regarding Yushan.
"Yes. There is no reason for her to lie to me," Yu Yi said. "She would not dare deceive me; she is afraid I will not give her the antidote next time."
"That is true enough." The Rain family patriarch nodded, yet he was still not reassured. Turning to Yu Xiaochen, he said, "Xiaochen, you have the number for You Panhu of the Hidden You family, do you not? Is he not in the same class as Wei Zhao? Ask him whether he saw Wei Zhao today! If Wei Zhao stayed until the end of the school day, then that proves it was not him who acted—there simply would not have been enough time. Even if he had rushed over the moment school let out, he still would not have made it in time."
"Very well, Father. I have You Zhentian's number, but not You Panhu's, though I can still make inquiries." Yu Xiaochen nodded and turned to make the call.
On this side, the Rain family patriarch and Yu Yi waited for word from Yu Xiaochen, and before long, Yu Xiaochen had a definite answer.
"Well?" The Rain family patriarch asked urgently the moment he saw Yu Xiaochen approaching. Given his temperament, it was rare for him to be so anxious, but where Yu Ning was concerned, he had somewhat lost his composure! If something truly happened to Yu Ning, the wrath of the Xuanchen patriarch was not something the Hidden Rain family could withstand!
"It is confirmed that Wei Zhao is not responsible. Xiaoshu was telling the truth—Wei Zhao is indeed at home. You Panhu has confirmed that Wei Zhao did not leave the classroom until school let out," Yu Xiaochen said.
"So long as it is not Wei Zhao..." The Rain family patriarch breathed a sigh of relief. If Wei Zhao had carried off Yu Ning, then two young people who already harbored feelings for one another would be meeting again, **, and the likelihood of something truly happening was simply too high. The Rain family patriarch could not help but worry!
