1877 A Call in the Middle of the Night (II)

When Ye Qianqian saw the expression on Shen Zhilie's face, she knew that the incident wasn't as simple as it seemed anymore. However, Ye Qianqian didn't dare to ask Shen Zhilie any more questions, and simply held him tighter when she heard his reply.

"Get some sleep."

Ye Qianqian closed her eyes, but sleep refused to come. After a long while, Shen Zhilie suddenly spoke. "Can't sleep?" he asked.

Ye Qianqian opened her eyes. Her surroundings were shrouded in darkness, but she knew without a doubt that Shen Zhilie's face was right in front of hers. "Yeah," she replied.

Ye Qianqian switched her posture and stretched her back. She said, "I'm just wondering… Am I supposed to hide away like this now? If the police aren't able to catch that hoodlum, are we supposed to stay in hiding forever just because of him?"

"That's not going to happen. It's only a matter of time before he gets caught."
