It rang twice before someone picked up on the other end of the phone call.
"Yo, Lin Qiao! You are finally done playing with scalpels and rich people? You rarely have time for poor people like us!" came the teasing voice of Dr. Han Yue, an old med school friend and now a renowned orthopedic surgeon abroad. They were close friends and also cousins, they were closely related.
Lin Qiao chuckled lightly, his voice low and reflective. "You wouldn't believe who I saw today actually, just a few seconds ago. It was Mrs. Huo in person. Saw her today face to face, and so close."
There was a sharp pause on the line.
"You mean that Mrs. Huo who was crazy? Who, they said, was chasing after another man while married? Who has been fighting with Huo Ting Cheng? Tang Fei? The one they say never shows her face in public? How's that even possible? Does she even exist to start with?"
