Chapter 214: Chapter 214: It’s Been Quite Some Years

"Ah?" Su Lu was somewhat surprised, "He didn’t leave?"

"He wouldn’t be at ease." Although Bo Jingshen always seemed to dislike Jiang Li, after all, they had been friends for so long, and both encountered each other at their lowest and most difficult times; he knew Jiang Li well.

Kind-hearted and charitable, he couldn’t do such cruel things, like leaving without saying goodbye when Ying Xi was severely injured. If he couldn’t do that to ordinary friends, let alone someone like Ying Xi who obviously held special significance.

He must have just made it seem like he left without saying goodbye.

"He must still be in the hospital, probably secretly watching from somewhere." Bo Jingshen frowned, enduring the pain in his back.

"Does he think..." Su Lu speculated about Jiang Li’s thoughts, "he thinks that Ying Xi got injured because he tried to save him, so he blames himself?"

"...Sigh." Bo Jingshen let out a long breath, "He wanted to protect Ying Heng’s brother, but ended up being protected instead. Ying Heng’s only family is this brother, and now with things turning out this way, he must be feeling terrible."

"Then I’ll look for him, since he’s still in the hospital..." Su Lu felt it wasn’t right to let Jiang Li stay alone in an unfamiliar place, perhaps already overthinking things; it might be even worse if he dwelled on it further. Better to find him and offer some guidance.

It would prevent him from being alone, where his thoughts might spiral into a dead end.

"No need..." Bo Jingshen reached for his cellphone on the nightstand. Su Lu grabbed his hand to stop him, "Don’t move around, it will hurt more if you strain your wound, let me do it."

She took the cellphone and handed it back to him, but he didn’t take it. Instead, he continued holding her hand and didn’t let go for a while, as if Jiang Li and the phone call weren’t urgent anymore.

Su Lu, whose hand was held for a while, felt uneasy and coughed lightly, "Don’t need the phone?"

Bo Jingshen then took the phone. Su Lu thought he was going to make arrangements or call somebody to search for Jiang Li.

Unexpectedly, Bo Jingshen made no such arrangements; instead, he directly dialed a number, and put it on speaker. Su Lu looked closely, and it was indeed Jiang Li’s number?

"They said Jiang Li’s phone couldn’t be reached..." Su Lu hadn’t finished speaking when she heard the call connecting, a beeping tone awaiting response.

It seems Jiang Li’s phone wasn’t unreachable; not just anyone could reach him.
