Just as Liu Ergou was about to get down to business, his phone rang for the nth time today.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Liu Ergou instinctively recoiled and made to run away.
This left Fu Ya and Lu Shuangyue, who were beside him, somewhat puzzled. They didn't understand why hearing a phone ring would make Liu Ergou run for his life—it wasn't as if the phone could eat him.
"Er Gou, what are you running for?" Fu Ya asked, perplexed. "Is the ringtone really that scary? It's not like it's a cursed call that will kill you if you answer."
Hearing Fu Ya's words, Liu Ergou sighed.
"It would be better if it were a cursed call," he said. "At least I'd just die and get it over with."
"But the problem is this phone. Every time I'm about to handle some real business, it rings and interrupts me. In the last two days alone, it has already interrupted me three or four times."
"So how can I not be scared when I hear it?"
