Ye Rui tossed and turned in bed until Luo Huafang's call came through.
She was already sobbing as she spoke, "Rui, something terrible has happened at home."
Ye Rui abruptly sat up in bed, "Mom, what happened? Stop crying and tell me clearly."
Her eyelids had been twitching this while, as if sensing something was about to occur, and now the inevitable had indeed come.
"It's your dad; he's just been taken away by the inspectors."
"What did Dad do wrong? Why did they take him away?" After Ye Rui asked, she suddenly fell silent, wondering why it had to happen right now of all times.
"I don't know, they wouldn't say," Luo Huafang cried uncontrollably. "Your dad has diabetes, and he was rushed away so hastily he didn't even take his medicine. The detention center is cold and damp, and the food is terrible. If he falls ill there, what'll we do? Rui, please ask Shaoqing to think of something... Rui, Rui, are you listening?"
