He was also a little different from the Gu Jingze she was used to seeing.
Seeing that no one was coming, Lin Che asked Gu Jingze if she could excuse herself to call Yu Minmin.
There were certain things that she still had not explained to Yu Minmin before coming here. She was afraid that it would affect her work.
However, they were trapped in this place and she was also worried that Gu Jingze's safety would be affected.
It was only at this moment that Lin Che realized that she had not really paid attention to safety in the past. She only understood now why there was such tight security around Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze passed Lin Che his phone and said to her, "Use this to call her. It isn't necessarily unsafe to use your phone, but to be safe, use mine instead."
"Ah, aren't yours and mine the same?" Lin Che asked in confusion.
Gu Jingze darted a look at her and continued to look at the documents on the small table. He merely said quietly, "Mine is equipped with more advanced anti-hacking software. Even the most sophisticated phishing tool in the world right now cannot detect my location, so..." He shot another glance at Lin Che. "It's still different from yours."
"..." Alright then. They were on different wavelengths. Once again, he had schooled her on the ways of the wealthy.
Nevertheless, Lin Che knew that what he was saying was definitely true.
With the phone in hand, Lin Che went out to call Yu Minmin.
Yu Minmin even hesitated a little when she picked up the call. "Mr... Mr. Gu?"
She had previously received a call with Gu Jingze's voice on the line. At the time, she had been frightened to the point where she did not dare to make another sound. So this time, she was especially careful.
"No, it's me, Sister Yu," Lin Che said.
"Oh, it's you. You bad girl, you scared me to death. I was wondering why Gu Jingze was calling me for no reason, especially during this emergency period. I thought they discovered that I was a spy or something like that."
"Of course, it's not that serious. It's just safer for me to use Gu Jingze's phone to call you. They're afraid that someone is monitoring the conversation or something."
"You're in there so of course, you don't know what's going on outside. The airport is still locked down for investigation. There are also special forces surrounding the entire B City. Anyway, the situation really looks very serious. But everyone has been constantly discussing how exactly Gu Jingze is. Is he alright now?"
"Yes. Apart from a slight injury in the shoulder, there's not much of a problem."
"Oh, did he get disfigured?"
"..." Lin Che said, "Who cares about whether he gets disfigured or not right now?"
"The most pertinent question on everyone's mind right now is whether Gu Jingze will become disfigured or not. Although very few people have actually seen what he looks like, everyone thinks that Gu... Mr. President and Gu Jingyu are so handsome, so he must look very similar to them too. Everyone has seen some secret snaps of him before and they know vaguely that he's indeed very handsome. That's why everyone is wondering how exactly he's doing at the moment."
Lin Che could only say incredulously, "Alright then. Actually, he's doing very well and didn't become disfigured either."
"That's great. This piece of information would definitely cost a fortune if I could sell it to the media."
"What?"
"No, I'm just kidding. Do you think I'm so crazy that I would dare to sell news about Gu Jingze? I reckon I'll be kidnapped before the news even reaches the media. But is there really nothing wrong with Gu Jingze? You've been completely isolated from the outside world. None of the media outlets know where exactly Gu Jingze is receiving treatment. All of the major hospitals are crowded with reporters, but they simply can't find out where Gu Jingze is."
"Yes. We're in a very well-concealed place. He's doing fine and is even dealing with work matters now. I called because I wanted to ask how things are at the company. Did my sudden departure cause any problems?"
"Everyone thought that something happened to you because you had been taken away by a crowd of heavily-armed people. We were all shocked. But when they later found out that you were alright, they were then confused about who exactly you were involved with to have been taken away like that. The company explained that you would have to delay filming for a few days because you had other schedules. Gu Jingyu didn't get involved in the matter. He said that it was alright since you had requested a leave of absence."
