Just as he was about to continue calling Lin Beichen.
Suddenly!
A call came in.
It was a string of digits that didn't look like a normal phone number.
Seeing this string of numbers, Hao Jianhua's heart skipped a beat. He had seen a similar string of numbers before.
Although the numbers weren't exactly the same, the arrangement was quite similar.
It was a call from the Security Bureau!
"Why is the Security Bureau calling at this time?"
"Could it be...?"
Hao Jianhua immediately understood the theme of the call; they must have received some news, knew what was happening here, and were calling to inquire about Lin Beichen.
He gestured for the others to go ahead while he intentionally lagged behind and then took the call.
As soon as the call connected.
Song Xiangdong's voice came through, "Principal Hao, it's me, Song Xiangdong from the Security Bureau."
The voice was still as calm and poised as ever, but if listened to carefully, one could detect a hint of panic and urgency.
