After leaving the police station, Ye Qiu received a call from Xu Jiao.
Earlier, they had exchanged numbers, and seeing Xu Jiao's name displayed on the screen, Ye Qiu frowned slightly. He had just finished talking with Xu Long and was about to go undercover beside Xu Batian, using Xu Jiao as a point of entry and hoping to gain the trust of the opposition.
Now that Xu Jiao was calling, Ye Qiu felt a sudden surge of guilt.
However, not answering the call would arouse suspicion, so he took a deep breath and answered.
"Hello, Ye Qiu, are you okay?"
Hearing Xu Jiao's first words inquire about his wellbeing made Ye Qiu feel an even stronger sense of remorse.
"I'm... okay!"
Ye Qiu tried to keep his emotions in check, ensuring Xu Jiao couldn't detect any anomalies in his tone.
"Oh, as long as you're okay, that's good. I was thinking of asking my father to pull some strings for you to get you out."
