Chapter 704 A Call From Ice City

“When you come to the amusement fair, bring all your dreams and fantasies…”

Hearing the music from the phone, Gao Ge doesn’t feel happy at all.

Three days are long enough for his beard to grow. Looking at himself in the mirror, Gao Ge can’t help sighing. It seems that he is not thick-skinned enough. Otherwise, his beard wouldn’t grow out of his skin at all.

He stands up, walks into the bathroom and washes his face harshly. His face is full of water. It looks a bit vulgar in the mirror. Thinking back and forth, he still takes the shaver and shaves his beard. Instantly, he becomes much more spirited.

Details determine the whole appearance.

He rubs his face and then wipes the water with a towel. After sitting back on the sofa, he is still pondering.

He closes his eyes and still seems able to hear his heart pounding.

After a while, he opens his eyes, fetches the cigarette pack on the table and lights up a cigarette.

When he finishes a cigarette, he takes out his phone and makes a call.

After waiting for a long time, he hears the message that the number he dialed cannot be connected for now. He gives a bitter smile.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go but… It seems that you don’t want me to go,” Gao Ge mutters with his eyes closed. Yet, he feels that his saying so is more like comforting himself, which is meaningless.

Before he takes a breath, his phone suddenly rings.

He picks up the phone and takes a look only to find that he doesn’t know the number. He knits his brows instantly.

Having thought about it, he still puts it through. The caller is a middle-aged man.

“Hello? Is that Gao Ge?”

“Yes, who is that?” Judging from his accent, he should be from the northeast.

“You are Gao Ge? Well, I met a girl and she asked me to call you, telling you to go to Song City. That’s all!”

“A girl? Who is she? Who are you? Where are you?” Gao Ge cries out, suddenly excited.

“Whoa, calm down! Don’t shout at me! You don’t know me anyway. I’m in Ice City! My name is Liang Zhicheng. I don’t know the girl! She bought something from me and then asked me to give you this call. She also paid me 500 yuan to forget this thing after calling you. By the way, she also asked you not to call back. Understand? I have to go now!”

Then, the man directly hangs up without giving Gao Ge a chance to respond.

Gao Ge is pissed off.

What the hell?

Gao Ge is totally at a loss.

A young girl asks him to go to Song City… Is it for Xia Lu or other things? And who is the girl?

Having thought about it, he immediately asks Song Yuan and Susu to come to his room.

After they both arrive, Gao Ge tells them what happened just now.

He feels he cannot think straight at the moment.

Generally, those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outside.

Song Yuan and Susu are trustable for him.

After hearing Gao Ge out, Susu and Song Yuan are a bit surprised.

They look each other in the eye and both lapse into deep thought.

Song Yuan looks at Gao Ge first and then asks, “You mean that you think the call was arranged by Meng Jing?”

Gao Ge doesn’t say so actually but based on his excitement, his thought has been implicitly revealed.

“What do you think?” Gao Ge asks.

Before Song Yuan can answer, Susu says first, “What about me going to Ice City for an investigation?”

“Don’t!” Song Yuan and Gao Ge say at the same time.

Susu gazes at them with staring eyes and feels so confused.

It is such a good opportunity. Why don’t they take it?

If this call was really arranged by Meng Jing, does it mean that the base of the Ghost Sect is in Ice City?

Looking at Susu’s facial expression, Song Yuan says, “As far as I know, the Ghost Sect can’t be in Ice City.”

“Even if it is in Ice City, Meng Jing will be in danger if we go there now. Maybe it is a trap. And the ringleader simply wants to see whether Meng Jing will pass the news to us. If we really go to Ice City, we will fall into the trap.”

Susu says with a bitter smile, “But it is your guess only!”

“That is enough,” Song Yuan says, “We cannot take any risk regardless.”

Actually, Song Yuan doesn’t care.

He only wants to help Gao Ge find the whereabouts of Meng Jing and the Ghost Sect.

However, from the perspective of Gao Ge, Meng Jing’s safety is the top priority.

Should anything untoward happen to Meng Jing, will Gao Ge thank them even if they find the Ghost Sect?

The answer is self-evident.

Gao Ge is resting with his eyes closed and his chin rested on his hand.

Susu continues saying, “But if the call was really arranged by Meng Jing, why did she ask Gao Ge to go to Song City?”

“For Xia Lu, of course!” Song Yuan gives an envious look. “Thus, I haven’t met Meng Jing before but I do admire her. Well…”

He doesn’t finish his sentence but Susu and Gao Ge both know what he wants to say.

Susu rolls her eyes at him, “I don’t think so.”

“Why?”

“Girls won’t hope the men they love to accept others’ love,” Susu says seriously.

“Maybe Meng Jing is not any one of the girls you mention,” Song Yuan refutes.

“Anyway, I don’t think it is likely.” Susu has never objected to Song Yuan’s opinion before. This is the first time that she has done so. It seems to have violated some principle of hers.

Song Yuan gives a smile and says in a low voice, “I was talking about Meng Jing only. I didn’t say I hoped my girl to be so generous too.”

Susu blushes and says grumpily, “What does it have to do with me?”

Song Yuan looks even happier.

Susu stops talking about that with Song Yuan and then looks at Gao Ge, asking, “Mr. Gao, what do we need to do next?”

Gao Ge shakes his head to show that he has no idea either.

If he had a plan, he wouldn’t ask Susu and Song Yuan to come here and discuss it together.

“Will you go to Song City or not?” Susu asks.

Gao Ge shakes his head again.

Susu feels a bit disappointed, “Still no?”

Song Yuan feels that Susu doesn’t understand Gao Ge’s gesture so he says, “He means he doesn’t know for now.”

Susu heaves a sigh.

Do all the men in the world like shilly-shallying like this?

It is a simple issue. Why does he have to think so much?
