Fu Jiheng and Gu Lin exchanged a glance; they didn't know exactly what was said in the phone call just then, only seeing that Qin Siye's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
Gu Lin was drinking mouthfuls of red wine. Gu Lin attempted to prevent him, but Fu Jiheng grabbed him with one tug.
In a low voice, he said, "Let him drink. Maybe if he gets drunk, he'll forget everything."
In between, Shen Xi made several more calls, but Qin Siye didn't pick up any.
In the end, he was so drunk that he fell asleep on the sofa, sprawled out.
"What should we do now? He never could hold his liquor, and you just let him drink so much," Gu Lin said, looking at Qin Siye's flushed face with deeply furrowed brows.
At that moment, Qin Siye's cellphone on the table rang again, still showing the words "Shen Xi."
Fu Jiheng didn't hesitate to answer, "May I speak with Doctor Shen? This is Fu Jiheng, we met earlier tonight.
"Are you looking for Siye because there's some kind of emergency?"
