Just as Pei Yan was drifting into a dreamy trance, another person was also pulled out of bed by the suddenly ringing phone. Ye Jiumu, who had returned home with his brother for the Chinese New Year and had just laid down not long after eating the reunion dinner, received an urgent call from the bureau asking him to return immediately for an emergency task.
From the anxious yet cryptic tone of Jiang Feiyang on the other end of the line, Ye Jiumu knew something significant was happening. In a panic, he got up, dressed, and rushed out.
Standing behind his brother in the entrance hall, Ye Ruozai held a coat and asked concernedly, "Be safe! Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need, the call was just for me, it's very urgent, probably an emergency surveillance task. Brother, home...," Ye Jiumu said, taking the coat from his brother and putting it on while speaking.
