I Need Your Help!

Ling Zhizhi’s heart sank. "You…"

"Ms. Ling, you had better know your place. If not, I won't guarantee your daughter’s safety!" Hu Hongda ended the call after his threat.

Ling Zhizhi’s face was pale as snow as she stood there, still holding her phone.

She then quickly called the school. "Hello, Teacher Wang! Is Lingling there?"

"Lingling’s mother? Yes, she’s here!"

Ling Zhizhi calmed down and her tone softened. "What is she doing?"

"She’s playing Jenga with the other kids. I’ll let her talk to you! Lingling, come here…"

Soon, a sweet, soft voice piped through the phone, "Mother!"

"Hello, my little sweetheart!"

"Mother, when will you come and see me?"

"I’m...still busy...I’ll go and see you once I’m done with work, alright? Be good and listen to Grandfather and Grandmother, and remember, never talk to strangers, alright?"

Ling Zhizhi still felt uneasy after calling her daughter, so she made another call to her parents to fill them in on the details.
