When Qin Zhi 'ai finished her coffee, Gu Yusheng still hadn't arrived.
She took out her cell phone and called Gu Yusheng.
No one answered.
Qin Zhi 'ai frowned. She thought Gu Yusheng might be driving and couldn't answer the phone, so she put down her cell phone and asked the waiter to order another cup of coffee.
To kill the time, Qin Zhi 'ai took a magazine from the bookshelf in the cafe, sat on the sofa, and read it out of boredom.
Qin Zhi 'ai read every word of the advertisement in the magazine, but Gu Yusheng still hadn't arrived.
Qin Zhi 'ai picked up her cell phone and glanced at the time. It was almost seven o' clock.
I've been waiting for two hours. Why hasn't he come? Is he busy with work, or …?
As Qin Zhi 'ai thought about it, she called Gu Yusheng again. Just like before, the phone rang until it was busy, but he still didn't answer.
He wouldn't have stood her up again, right?
Qin Zhi 'ai's high spirits from flying to Shanghai gradually cooled down.
It was very noisy in the airport, but she didn't seem to hear anything. Her eyes were fixed on her phone.
The time changed from 7: 05 to 7: 15, then to 7: 25. Gu Yusheng didn't call her back or text her until 7: 35.
Qin Zhi 'ai picked up her cell phone for the third time and dialed a number.
Still no one answered.
She hung up and dialed a fourth, then a fifth, a sixth, a seventh … She was like a robot being controlled, constantly hanging up and dialing. She didn't know how many times she repeated this action. When her cell phone's battery was less than 20 percent, she blinked and took out a portable battery from her bag with a pale face. After connecting the battery, she stiffened her body and stared at her cell phone for a while before dialing Gu Yusheng's number again.
The phone rang several times, but no one answered. When Qin Zhi 'ai was about to hang up and give up, the beeping stopped and a strange male voice said, "Hello."
It's not Gu Yusheng? Qin Zhi 'ai frowned. After a few seconds, she replied, "Hello."
After a pause, Qin Zhi 'ai said, "Excuse me, you are?"
"Oh, I'm from the Ministry of Public Security. Are you the lover of the owner of the phone?" The contact name was Little Troublemaker, which was very friendly. They should be lovers or husband and wife.
Qin Zhi 'ai became inexplicably flustered. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes."
"It's like this, Miss. The owner of the phone was washed away by the river while trying to save someone. We've sent many people to look for him, but we haven't found him yet. I'm afraid the situation isn't looking good …"
Qin Zhi 'ai smashed her cell phone onto the coffee table with a loud bang, which attracted a lot of attention from the people around them.
"Hello? Miss, are you still listening? Miss? Miss? "
The man's voice came from the phone for a while. Qin Zhi 'ai rolled her eyes stiffly and came back to her senses. With trembling hands, she picked up the phone and answered in a dry voice, "Yes." Then she asked anxiously, "Where was the accident?"
"City A, Qin River, near Exit G30." As the man on the phone reported the location, Qin Zhi 'ai quickly stood up, took out a few red bills from her purse, put them on the table, grabbed her purse, and ran out of the cafe to the taxi waiting area.
