At this moment, Jiang Ruan, who was browsing the dark web for hacking jobs, heard her cellphone ring.
She put down the glass water cup provided by the hospital and opened her phone.
It was an audio message sent through a text message.
This was the first time Jiang Ruan realized that text messages could receive recordings.
She tapped the recording, and the phone automatically began to play it, the sound noisy as if coming from a bar.
She waited for a long time without hearing any speech.
Just as she was about to turn it off, a man's hoarse and threatening voice came through.
"No matter if she is Jiang Ruan or Jiang Yuning, I will definitely drive her out of Capital City!"
Jiang Ruan slammed her phone down, breaking the water-filled cup.
With a "crack," the glass and water splashed everywhere, bringing Jiang Ruan back to her senses in the moment of shattering.
The next second, Jiang Yuning's call came in.
