Actually, this was just a random excuse that He Zerui made up to get Mi Wan to make another call. Mi Wan thought it made some sense; after all, if she called from an unfamiliar number, it's possible the other person might think it's just a spam or fraud call and wouldn't answer.
So, she didn't hesitate and pressed the dial button again.
This time, the call was quickly answered. Mi Wan gave He Zerui a glance and then politely said, "Hello, Mr. He. My last name is Mi, I live in the same neighborhood as you. Your nephew Zerui has a scraped palm. I want to take him home to clean the wound. What do you think?"
Mi Wan thought for a moment and decided not to mention the near car accident to avoid worrying the other party.
"Okay."
Just two words?
The man's overly brief response surprised Mi Wan, but his voice sounded a bit tense, so she tentatively asked, "Mr. He, are you unable to talk right now?"
