After much consideration, Hua Jin decided to give Yun Shishi a call. He would return to the Mu residence first and then decide on next steps.

  He searched the handbag and found a cell phone.

  It was Liang Yin’s cell phone.

  Ohhhh.

  But cell phones were secured with 6-digit passwords.

  The actor did not know Liang Yin’s password. He tried a few of the more common lazy passwords, but they showed errors in entry. If wrong passwords were keyed in, the phone wouldn’t work at all.

  In his despair, he casually keyed in his birthday. Unexpectedly, it unlocked automatically.

  “…”


  The actor didn’t have time to be shocked. He quickly dialed Yun Shishi’s number. The phone rang for several seconds before the call was finally answered.

  “Hello…”


  Before he could speak, Gong Jie’s extremely recognizable cold voice came from the other end.

  “Who’s that?”


  “…”


  The man urged him impatiently. “Say something.”


  Liang Yin quickly reacted. “Where’s Shishi?”


  “Who are you?”


  “I … I’m …” Liang Yin frowned. If he were to admit that he was Hua Jin in front of Gong Jie…


  the man would definitely think he was crazy and just hang up on him. He might even block his number.

  It was the sort of reaction he expected from Gong Jie. After all, it was really difficult for most people to understand something as mysterious as soul swap.

  Even he, so far, was finding it difficult to accept this reality. If he told Gong Jie the truth, the man would definitely… think he’s an idiot!

  Hua Jin contemplated for a moment, then said, “Are you Gong Jie?”


  Gong Jie was wary. “Who are you and how do you know my name?”


  “Oh dear, I’ve heard so much about you from Shishi. You’re her brother! I saw you at her wedding, but I don’t suppose you remember anything about it!”


  His brother was silent for a moment, but said nothing.

  The actor asked again nervously, “Where’s Shishi?”


  “She’s stepped out. She forgot her phone.”


  “…”


  No…!

  Why did this have to happen at the critical moment!?

  The actor was so aggrieved he was close to tears now.

  Gong Jie raised his eyebrow skeptically. “How may I help you?”


  ‘Er … it’s like this … I broke my leg, but, because I didn’t have any money with me, I couldn’t pay my medical bills and get discharged. So …’


  The actor was mortified. This Liang Yin was really poor! He had searched her entire bag. Other than a wallet with a hundred-dollar bill, there was nothing else in it.

  Rather than saying that he was hospitalized, he might as well say that he was detained in the hospital because he could not afford the medical fees!

  “Would it be convenient for you to … transfer some money to me? Ah, for the record, I’m really not a liar …”


  His brother asked bluntly, “Which hospital?”


  “The… Renci Hospital near Studio City.”


  “Got it.” Then, the line was quickly disconnected.

  Did he hang up?

  Did that rascal Gong Jie just hang up?

  How rude!

  The actor frowned, thoroughly confused. He lay on the bed, unlocking the cell phone at the same time. He started scrolling through the phone book.

  To his surprise, the phone book was blank. Not a single entry.

  Didn’t she have any relatives? Or friends? What about classmates? None?

  Opening WeChat, he noted the WeChat interface was also frighteningly empty.

  The friend column was empty, as if it was isolated from the world. There was no trace of her background at all.

  The actor sighed inwardly. ‘This Liang Yin is a suspicious woman!’
