Returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Yuan made a transcontinental call to Wen Fei, who was far away in Sydney.
This time of year, the time difference between Sydney and Hua Country was only two hours. When Gu Yuan made the call, Wen Fei hadn't gone to bed yet and answered the phone—
Gu Yuan stared absentmindedly at the brown Hemler pendulum clock on the wainscoting.
The call connected.
Wen Fei's cold and glamorous voice came through the receiver: "You only remember to call me on his death anniversary to remind me to come back. It's rare for you to have time to call me otherwise. What's up today? Suddenly remembered to call me?!"
The Hemler pendulum clock chimed.
It wasn't until the third chime that Gu Yuan spoke: "Fang Yumin has been released from prison."
Wen Fei was living it up far away in Sydney. To someone as emotionally detached as her, hearing the name Fang Yumin probably didn't bring back any memories. That was Gu Yuan's guess.
But it took Gu Yuan slightly by surprise.
