Zhao's anxiety was heard by Xu Renjie, who hurriedly replied, "Old Zhao, it's Old Xu here. Are... you alright? Over."
What a pointless question, Old Xu regretted immediately after asking it.
How could Zhao possibly be alright now? If he really were, he'd have met the "big-headed ghost"!
"I'm... I'm fine. Have you... seen my daughter?"
"I've seen her, Old Zhao!"
"Then, is she..." Zhao's voice trembled, filled with an underlying worry that Xu Renjie could hear.
Old Xu didn't want to torture this poor "father." He kindly said, "Lina's doing quite well. Derek used resources to ensure her safety. She's a bit thin, but otherwise fine. Don't worry. Over."
"Oh, oh, that's good, good. As long as she's okay..." With a tone of relief, Zhao murmured the words repeatedly. He seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Hey, Old Xu, thank Derek for me, and also apologize. I misunderstood him. Over."
