Bai Yiyi lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "At first, when Gu Kai asked me about Li En, I truly didn't want to believe that Li En would be involved in this matter."
Wen Jin nodded, "Of course, if you knew from the beginning that Li En was involved in this matter, Momo wouldn't have been sent abroad."
"The afternoon Momo went missing, Gu Kai dropped me off at home and asked me about it. I was so sure at the time and said that Li En would never do such a thing. After Gu Kai left, I called Li En. He said he was on a business trip in City B, and then he hung up the phone after just a few words, which is something he never used to do."
It was the hurried way Li En hung up the phone, and the sound of car horns on the other end of the line, that, combined with Gu Kai's words, aroused suspicion in Bai Yiyi's heart without reason.
Looking back now, she thought, perhaps she didn't trust Li En enough and, inexplicably, trusted what Gu Kai said.
