The hospital room fell into silence.
Gong Chen, reeking of cigarette smoke, watched the numbers on the screen with icy eyes.
"Which place does the number before 4 represent?"
"1 is home, 2 is my workplace, 3 is out of town," Liu He said immediately, not daring to delay.
Being solely reliant on each other, mother and daughter naturally had to be extra cautious.
In her youth, Liu He had been followed by a man.
Later, her beautiful and lovely daughter Lin Zhiyi was also targeted by a villain.
Thus, the two established this secret code; if there was an issue and they couldn't make a phone call, they would send a message.
Back then, Lin Zhiyi was young, and their lives had revolved almost entirely between home and work, so there weren't that many numbers.
Gong Shiyan speculated, "Could Zhiyi have been taken out of town?"
