Only after a ring, Ji Bai picked up: “What happened?
Xu Xu said: “The forensic report has come out; we’re faxing it to Sichuan police station. I’ll also send the electronic version to your phone.”
“Good.”
His voice was slightly hoarse, also appeared to be deep than usual. Xu Xu paused for a moment, then said: “Goodbye.”
“Wait a minute,” he whispered to stop her.
Xu Xu went silent.
She clearly felt her heart, as if with his words, had been gently lifted.
In an alley somewhere in the Sichuan district, Ji Bai was leaning against the back seat of a modest car.
He had taken a unit and waited all night to ambush the suspect outside a small hotel where the suspect would appear but still there was no result so far. Probably because Yao Meng had told Su Mu, so he insisted that Ji Bai go to the back of the car to sleep for a few hours, he had ensured Ji Bai that if there was any sign of the suspect he would wake him up immediately. Yao Meng and Su Mu stayed in the front of the car in wait.
Ji Bai did not refuse, he was about to sleep but was wakened by Xu Xu’s phone call.
“Nothing happened these few days at the city?” Ji Bai asked gently.
“Everything is normal.” Xu Xu replied: “What about over there?”
“We are waiting in ambush, it will be done soon.”
Both were silent for a moment, Xu Xu directly asked what was worrying her: “I can hear that your voice is a bit hoarse, are you alright?”
Ji Bai was holding the phone, and watching passersby on the town street, his lips curled up in a smile: “I’m a little bit uncomfortable, I drove all night, and probably have worked fifty hours without sleep. I’m about to take a break.”
Xu Xu was slightly stunned and didn’t speak.
In fact, this was nothing to Ji Bai, he had far harder times before. And he never told others of his sufferings. But Xu Xu… letting her worry for a little wasn’t bad.
Listening to his placid tone, she could almost imagine his tired face. That made her a little uncomfortable, and she unconsciously furrowed her brow.
“Then you should rest, I won’t bother you any longer.” Xu Xu quickly said: “Also try to sleep and eat on time. Contact me if there’s anything else, bye.”
Ji Bai didn’t get the time to speak before Xu Xu added: “Master, hurry go to sleep”, then hung up the phone.
Ji Bai looked the darkening phone screen, he slightly smiled. At this time, a local police officer who was sitting in front saw the unusual smile, laughed and asked: “Captain Ji, Did sister-in-law call concerning about you?”
Ji Bai did not directly deny or admit it. He leaned his tired body back, and closed his eyes, the smile still remained on his lips: “Women love to worry… I’m going to sleep for a while, remember to call me if anything comes up.”
