The cell phone and landline ringing at the same time sounded very loud and busy.

Lu Bancheng hadn’t yet walked to the balcony with his cell phone in his hand. He apologized on the phone to Liang Doukou, “I’m sorry. I need to answer a call right now.”

He walked back to answer the landline and raised the phone to his ear. It was unknown what the person on the other end said, but Lu Bancheng suddenly became very serious. “What? The official website was hacked?”

“Bullsh*t! Of course, I know the new product will be released at eight tonight. I need to see what happened to the website right now!” Lu Bancheng hung up the home phone and grabbed the ringing cell phone on the coffee table. He slid across the phone screen to pick up the call and raised it to his ear. “I understand. The IT Director called, and I’m on it right now.”

Lu Bancheng walked upstairs with one cell phone by his ear and one in his hand as he talked. Gu Yusheng had been sitting on the sofa with his laptop on his lap, seemingly busy doing something. He looked up slightly and glanced at the cell phone in Lu Bancheng’s other hand, which still had “Liang Doukou” on the line. He grabbed the pillow and threw it at Lu Bancheng’s back.

Lu Bancheng jumped and recovered himself from the daze. He was about to lose his temper at Gu Yusheng when he saw Gu Yusheng pointing at the cell phone in his hand.

Lu Bancheng was shocked for a second and realized something. He said on the call from the company, “Hold on.” He raised the phone with Liang Doukou on the other line and said, “Xiaokou, I’m sorry. I have something to handle for work right now. I’ll call you back when I’m done here.” He paused for a second before he asked again, “Is it something urgent? Ok, bye.”

The moment Lu Bancheng hung up the phone on Liang Doukou, he raised the other phone from the company. “I will be in my…”

Before Lu Bancheng finished talking, Gu Yusheng, on the sofa, picked up his phone and pretentiously pressed a button on it. He looked up at Lu Bancheng and asked with a casual look on his face, “My phone is dead. Can I borrow yours?”

Lu Bancheng was worried about the issue with the company so he tossed the personal phone that he had called Liang Doukou on to Gu Yusheng. He raced upstairs as he talked with the company.

When the door of the study was slammed closed, Gu Yusheng immediately closed the laptop on his lap and tossed it on the sofa.

He had just hacked Lu Bancheng’s company website and knew he would be busy with it for a while.

Gu Yusheng casually leaned against the sofa with Lu Bancheng’s phone and looked for Liang Doukou’s number. He almost clicked on the call button, but remembered he didn’t sound like Lu Bancheng, so he switched to text messaging. He typed a message to her and sent it over: I have an urgent meeting now. I can’t call you now, but you can text me if you have anything important or urgent to say.”

Lu Bancheng’s cell phone screen lit up after a minute. He had received a text back from Liang Doukou: “I hope I’m not interrupting your meeting.”

Gu Yusheng texted back without even having to think: “No, you are not.”

He had to wait about five minutes for the next text from her.
