7:30 p.m.
Qian Lihua had less than forty minutes left to live!
Dong Xuebin, in the living room, grabbed the phone and called Liu Chenglong. No matter what, he had to save Sister Yu's mother!
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off..."
"Sorry, te..." The call would not go through. Liu Chenglong's phone had run out of battery!
What was he supposed to do? Where could he go to notify them? And even if he got through, what could he say? Tell Qian Lihua to leave the Coffee Shop immediately? Say there would be a car accident soon? Why would she believe him? What if she merely brushed him off but kept eating and drinking at the Coffee Shop?
Don't panic! Absolutely don't panic!
There was still time! He could still make it!
Dong Xuebin kept checking his watch. Finally, he grabbed his keys, opened the door, and rushed downstairs.
On the way down, Dong Xuebin immediately called Yu Meixia.
"Hello, Uncle." Yu Qianqian answered.
Dong Xuebin said urgently, "Where's your mother?"
"Mom's in the bathroom."
"Hurry, give her the phone! Get your mom to answer!"
"Okay! I'll get Mom!" Tap tap tap—the footsteps on the other end hurried away. "Mom, Mom, Uncle wants to talk to you! It's urgent!"
A moment later, Yu Meixia's voice came through. "Xiao Bin?"
Dong Xuebin said without giving her a chance to speak, "Bring Qianqian to the city immediately! Hurry! The faster, the better!"
"...What happened?"
"Your mother may be in trouble! Get here now!"
"Ah? She, she..."
"Don't ask anything. I don't have time to explain. There probably aren't any buses to the city now, so here's what you do. I'll give you a number—it's Feng Lei from the Yantai County Public Security Bureau Criminal Investigation Team. Call him! Have
