He took a look.
Most of the missed calls were from Hu Leimei, a smaller number from Li Yi, and there were also several unknown numbers and spam calls.
After thinking it over, Hu Qi called back.
As expected, it was about what had happened at the Hanlin Garden residential area.
The incident had caused too great an impact to be concealed.
However, the matter of the Black Blood Species had to be kept confidential within the Xiya Federation, so the official announcement claimed it had been caused by a natural gas leak.
The site had also been sealed off, with everyone prohibited from entering on the grounds of preventing injuries from a secondary leak.
That left his aunt's family, who had wanted to find out what had happened, completely helpless.
Hu Qi's explanation was that there had been a lot of orders last night, so he had been out delivering food and happened not to be home. That was why he was fine.
Looking at Hu Leimei's reddened eyes on the video call, Hu Qi joked.
"It's fine. Look, aren't I perfectly okay? Strong as an ox. No need to worry."
As he spoke, Hu Qi even flexed his left arm.
"Fine. Take good care of yourself out there."
Hu Leimei was amused by his gesture.
"Mm, don't worry. Oh, right, I might be going to Anshan City in a couple of days..."
Hu Qi then briefly explained that he would be going to the Red Scale Fighting Club's Core Class for further training.
Hu Leimei was not overly surprised. Li Yi had mentioned it to her when he went home before.
She merely reminded Hu Qi to stay safe while he was alone outside, and that he could come to her, his aunt, if anything happened—words of concern
