A sudden, jarring, and cheerful ringtone echoed throughout the dark hall.
The previously tense atmosphere had yet to fully dissipate, and the electronic song sounded extremely grating.
Everyone present instantly felt their nerves tighten again, their gazes all directed at the source of the sound.
"Sorry... Sorry..."
Kun fumbled towards his pocket, his expression embarrassed as he raised his hand:
"It's me... Someone's calling me."
He hurriedly pulled out his phone, pressed the answer button, and put it to his ear:
"Hello, who is this?"
A low male voice, altered by a voice changer, came from the other end of the line:
"It's me. Give the phone to your leader."
Kun was momentarily stunned before immediately standing up straight, looking towards Pei Tianci who stood not far away:
"Boss, it's a call from Mr. Ye."
Pei Tianci heard this but did not immediately respond; instead, he turned his head and looked tentatively at Fang Cheng across from him.
