Tang Li finished her shower, and as she lay down on the bed ready to put on her eye mask, her cellphone rang. She paused for two seconds as she saw the incoming call on the screen, then pressed the answer button.
After answering the call, Tang Li heard Song Baiyan asking her, "Did anything happen today at Lishan?"
The man's voice was steady, filled with the familiar concern she knew.
Tang Li clenched her cellphone, thinking that the bungee jumping accident shouldn't have reached the Capital so quickly. Even if it made it into the news, it wouldn't be reported to such a high-ranking official like him. She figured that Song Baiyan was just showing routine concern, so she glossed over the bungee jumping incident, "I went out to play with the actors from the crew this afternoon and had a bit of an accident, but I'm fine."
"What about the others?" Song Baiyan asked again.
"..."
