Kang Li shook her head. She had a small bowl of wontons, then said to Jiang Hongfa, "I'm going to make a call home." Right now, in China, it's around seven thirty in the evening, so surely everyone is home.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Hongfa nodded, indicating he understood.

Luo Yanqing had been sitting by the landline ever since returning to the compound from the hospital.
"Will Li Bao really call again?"
Cai Xiufen asked Kang Guoan.
"Will do, Li Bao said so on the phone with me." Kang Guoan nodded, then told Kang Yiyang and Kang Yihong, "Tomorrow morning you both return to school, did you hear me?"
Kang Yiyang: "I need to make sure Aunt is fine."
Kang Yihong echoed: "As long as Aunt is okay, I'll naturally return to school."
"I've said, from the sound of her voice, your aunt doesn't seem out of sorts. I reckon she's safe now." Despite saying this, Kang Guoan also needed to reconfirm his precious sister's safety.
