Chapter 267 Pretend to Bump into Them

Qu Xiaobo didn't know that her call caused chaos in the police station.

Some police officers were on duty.

Their facial expressions changed when they noticed that the call was from Zhang Kai's girlfriend.

Sun Jing didn’t dare to speak loudly and covered his phone to ask for help from his colleagues anxiously, "What should I do? It's from Zhang's girlfriend! How should I tell her about it?"

"Just be honest. She'll find it out sooner or later."

Someone suggested that he should be honest with Qu Xiaobo.

Some people thought it was inappropriate and stopped him, "You can't tell her the truth. You should just lie."

Sun Jing was listening to his colleagues' different suggestions while answering the call.

He took a deep breath and told Qu Xiaobo, "Miss Qu, Zhang is busy with an important case. He can't answer your call now because he's interrogating a criminal."

"I called him last night and he said he would talk to me later. But why hasn't he called me? Who is he interrogating? It takes him a full day. And he can't even answer my call?"

Sun Jing heard Qu Xiaobo's tough questions.

He panicked a bit, "It's a very important case. We can't get anything from him because he's highly experienced. We can't solve the case if Zhang doesn't question him in person."

"Let him phone me back when he's on a break."

Qu Xiaobo said to Sun Jing.

Sun Jing nodded, "Don't worry. I'll tell him."

Qu Xiaobo thanked him and finished the call.

Sun Jing broke out in cold sweat after answering the call.

After putting down his phone, he sighed helplessly, "We can't keep doing it. She'll find out the truth quickly."

A female colleague sighed and suggested, "We'll try our best to hide it from her. There's no way to bring it up."

Sun Jing shook his head after hearing it.

They all looked very serious.

In Beicheng, after Qu Xiaobo hung up the call, she said to Gu Baisheng, "I find it a bit strange."

"How?"

Gu Baisheng asked her.

Qu Xiaobo said, "When Zhang Kai's colleague picked up the phone, he said that Zhang Kai was questioning a highly experienced criminal because other people can't get anything from him. But Zhang Kai hasn't gone out after a full day."

Hearing this, Gu Baisheng felt it a bit strange, too.

"Indeed, a full day is too long."

Qu Xiaobo bit her lip and suddenly made a decision, "No, I have to go to Gui Town."

Qu Xiaobo took out her phone to book the ticket to Gui Town while speaking.

Gu Baisheng looked down and bit her lip on seeing this.

She thought about what Qu Xiaobo said seriously.

She suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She reached out to grab Qu Xiaobo's hand, "You'd better not go."

Qu Xiaobo looked up confusedly, "Why?"

Somehow, Gu Baisheng had a bad feeling.

She felt that it was inappropriate for Qu Xiaobo to go to Gui Town.

She had a very strong feeling.

She felt that something would happen to Qu Xiaobo if she went there.

She also had had a strong feeling when she went to Hancheng for the earthquake rescue.

But she hadn’t cared.

The result was that she died in Hancheng.

Now she had the same feeling again, so she wouldn't let Qu Xiaobo go.

She said helplessly, "It's hard to get a ticket."

Qu Xiaobo shook her phone, "The number of returning travellers hasn't peaked yet. It's easy to book flight tickets."

"I mean we have an appointment tomorrow. If you go to Gui Town tonight, it's not good to stand the therapist up."

Gu Baisheng chose Qu Xiaobo's soft spot, "She's Song Yi's therapist. It's inappropriate."

"Don't worry. We can postpone the appointment. I have to find out what happened to Zhang Kai."

Qu Xiaobo insisted on visiting Zhang Kai.

Gu Baisheng couldn't persuade her.

She thought about it and said, "Zhang Kai is questioning the criminal. He must be very busy lately. You can't help with anything if you're there. It's better that you stay in Beicheng and see the therapist. I'll go to Gui Town with you when I have time."

"I can go there myself."

Qu Xiaobo said that she could do so herself.

Gu Baisheng knew that she was firm.

So, she had to use her last excuse.

She hoped that she could successfully stop Qu Xiaobo, "I heard that Song Yi had an appointment with Ye Xiao tomorrow, too."

On hearing that Song Yi would be there tomorrow, Qu Xiaobo's eyes suddenly brightened, "Really?"

If Song Yi was there, she could meet up with him in person.

It sounded very tempting.

"I..."

"Zhang Kai will stay at Gui Town, but you don't have many chances to meet Song Yi. It's Song Yi's last session with Ye Xiao tomorrow. If you don't go, you probably will never see him so closely."

"But Zhang Kai..."

Qu Xiaobo hesitated when she heard Gu Baisheng's words.

Gu Baisheng seized the chance, "Zhang Kai won't go anywhere. You can visit him anytime."

Qu Xiaobo thought about it for a while.

She finally accepted Gu Baisheng's suggestion, "Well, I'll go to see the therapist tomorrow."

Gu Baisheng knew that Qu Xiaobo gave up her travel to Gui Town.

She became relieved.

She covered Qu Xiaobo with the quilt, got up, put on her slippers, and walked out, "I'll get a cup of water."

Gu Baisheng went out of the bedroom.

She didn't go to the kitchen.

Instead, she put her hand on her chest and called Song Yi on the balcony.

Song Yi was a bit surprised to receive Gu Baisheng's call.

He picked it up quickly.

He asked, "Dr. Bai?"

"Do you feel better now?"

Gu Baisheng asked about his injury first.

"Much better. Thanks for asking."

Song Yi knew that Gu Baisheng cared about her patients but she would never call him solely to check his injury at night.

He guessed it right.

After asking about his injury, she said, "Could you do me a favor tomorrow, Mr. Song?"

"What can I do for you?"

Song Yi asked generously.

When Gu Baisheng recalled her lie, she said helplessly, "Could you please go to Ye Xiao's office and meet my friend? You can pretend that you bump into us."

She had to make sure that Qu Xiaobo could meet Song Yi tomorrow if she lied to her.

Otherwise, Qu Xiaobo would become more suspicious.

Song Yi smiled on hearing it, "A piece of cake. Anything else?"

Before she said what the favor was, he didn't expect it was such a trivial thing.

It was nothing to him.

He would like to help.

But...

"Although it's not a big deal, I don't need to see my therapist. I can act along tomorrow. How would you thank me?"

"Thank you?"

Gu Baisheng froze for a while.

She didn't expect that Song Yi asked for a reward so quickly.

She thought about it and said, "I'll treat you to dinner?"

She couldn't come up with another option.

"Of course, I'd be more than glad to accept that."

Song Yi accepted jokingly.

Before Gu Baisheng hung up the call, she thanked him again, "Thank you so much for this! Much appreciated!"

"You're welcome. See you tomorrow."

"OK."

Gu Baisheng hung up the call gently.

Song Yi smiled when the call ended.

Song Zhaolu saw her son smiling at his phone after she walked out of the kitchen.

She couldn't help asking smilingly, "Who called you? Why are you so happy?"

Song Yi didn't tell the truth, "It's from my brokerage firm."

"Your brokerage firm?"

Song Zhaolu knew that her son was a big star now.

And she also knew that his brokerage firm relied on him.

His brokerage firm had been accepting job offers on his behalf and now his schedule for the first half of this year was completely full.

They called him probably because they wanted to make arrangements with him for the latter half of this year.

But his contract would end before the latter half of this year.

"Will your contract end soon?"

Song Zhaolu asked her son.

Song Yi sat on the couch and locked his phone. After putting his phone on the table, he took up the teacup and took a sip, "Yes."

"What's your plan?" Song Zhaolu wanted to know his future plan.

Song Yi answered, "I don't have any at this point. Do you have any advice for me, mom?"

"My suggestion is that you should focus on your acting career and finish all your work before the contract ends."

Song Zhaolu was realistic.

Song Yi put the teacup back on the table and smiled, "OK, I'll do that."

Song Zhaolu was very dominant.

Song Yi had been living with his mother for so many years, so he knew what kind of person she was.

As a matter of fact, his mother helped with his acting career, too.

If it had not been because of his mother, he might have returned to Beicheng a bit later.

But now he was back.

He would get involved in the Song Family's battle.

Song Zhaolu checked her phone and turned on the TV after asking about his plan.

The first thing coming up on LCD was entertainment news.

Song Zhaolu usually didn't care about entertainment news.

But she couldn't help frowning at today's news, "Is this Lin Yalan?"

It was breaking news.

It showed that Lin Yalan was lying on a wheeling hospital bed and being pushed into the ambulance.

The host explained, "Last night, while doing the routine cleaning, the cleaner saw Lin Yalan, the famous actress, lying in the tub with her wrist slit. She went unconscious when she was spotted. The cleaner called the ambulance and the police right away. Now we've contacted Lin Yalan's brokerage firm and confirmed that her life is not in danger now."

Song Yi shook his head helplessly while hearing the news.
