Gu Jinlan didn’t know whether the number William dialed was Shi Ye’s public number or private number.

William turned on the radio directly, but Shi Ye did not answer until the dial timed out.

Gu Jinlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "He won't answer unfamiliar phone numbers."

Just what she wanted.

If her freedom and life require Shi Ye's sacrifice, then she hopes he will never appear.

William said, "Then I'll send him a message."

Seeing that William had already started editing the text message, Gu Jinlan frowned with a hint of worry.

She firmly believed that if Shi Ye knew that she was trapped here, he would definitely come to rescue her without hesitation.

Even though he knew this was a trap, Shi Ye would not hesitate at all.

Sometimes, Shi Ye is just silly and doesn't seem like a profit-seeking capitalist at all.

"OK, let's continue eating and wait for his reply." After sending the message, William sat back in the chair opposite the dining table.

Gu Jinlan had lost her appetite and prayed in her heart that Shi Ye’s phone could block text messages from unknown numbers.

William continued to eat. Except for a moment of emotional ups and downs when he learned about Gu Jinlan's identity, his gentle smile returned to his face.

Gu Jinlan asked tentatively: "Mr. William, can you tell me why you want to see him? Maybe I can help you without making it so troublesome."

William looked at her leisurely, "Didn't you just say that your relationship is not good? If that's the case, how can you have a say around her?"

Gu Jinlan's eyes flickered and she explained, "Our relationship is indeed not good, but we are husband and wife after all. I can make decisions on some things. Do you want any project in Haicheng?"

Gu Jinlan thought to herself that when she talked to Shi Ye about the Roland family before, Shi Ye didn't show any unusual emotions.

From this, it can be seen that the Shi family and the Roland family should have no dealings or family grudges.

Then William wanted to meet Shi Ye simply for the sake of profit.

"Project?" William smiled and shook his head. "I'm not interested in your country's projects. I'm only interested in Master Shi as a person."

Seeing William's meaningful smile, Gu Jinlan was certain that he had no good intentions towards Shi Ye.

She then asked, "Why are you interested in him?"

She was sure that Shi Ye didn't know William, otherwise when she got the necklace, Shi Ye would have reminded her that William was a dangerous person.

William said: "When he comes, you will know. It should surprise you."

"Can you tell me?" Gu Jinlan looked at William sincerely, trying to make William tell her the truth.

William said slowly, "Don't worry, you will know sooner or later."

Gu Jinlan frowned and thought.

She couldn't sit still and wait for death any longer.

If I continue to stay here, I might end up getting Shi Ye into trouble.

We must find a way to leave as soon as possible!

After making a quick decision in her mind, she asked, "Did he message you back?"

William glanced at his phone and said, “A busy man like Master Shi should not have time to check his phone.”

Gu Jinlan said, "To tell you the truth, his phone is set to block messages from unknown numbers, so he will never see the text messages you sent him."

William frowned slightly, "Then I will contact him in other ways."

"It's useless." Gu Jinlan said, "He is very alert and usually keeps a low profile. In Haicheng, few people have seen him. Since you insist on meeting him, I can help you contact him."

William raised his eyebrows slightly, "You suddenly changed your mind. It seems that you have some small ideas. I don't like women with many thoughts. No matter what little tricks you have in your mind, I advise you to give up the idea. After all, I rescued you. I hope we can always live in harmony. If you are willing to leave the Tenth Master in the future, you are still welcome here."

Gu Jinlan smiled bitterly, "I'm so badly injured, how could I have any evil thoughts? Anyway, you won't give up until you see Master Shi, and you won't let me go. I have no choice but to cooperate with you."

"Besides, I am under your nose now, and nothing I do can be hidden from you."

"Mr. William has great connections in Country M. Could it be that he is still afraid of a weak woman like me who is seriously injured?"

William suddenly laughed a few times and looked at Gu Jinlan. "You are not a weak woman. You can escape from that place and dare to go back alone. I am afraid that there is no one else in the world who can do this except you."

"I just want to survive. People can do anything to survive, like now..." Gu Jinlan said, "Since only Master Shi can take me away from here, I am willing to help you contact him."

"Mr. William is familiar with that place, so he should understand that people like us have long been domesticated and become heartless. As long as we can survive, we can abandon everything else."

"You have seen with your own eyes how determined I am to stay alive."

Gu Jinlan appealed to William's emotions and reason, trying to make him believe that she was really willing to contact Shi Ye.

"Your desire to survive really shocked me." William nodded slightly.

In fact, on the night she was rescued, the doctor said that she was seriously injured and had lost too much blood, and her hope of waking up was very slim.

Whether she can survive depends entirely on her own willpower.

Unexpectedly, she not only survived, but also woke up quickly.

"Then let me contact him." Gu Jinlan looked straight at William without dodging.

William was a man with deep thoughts, and she was not sure whether he believed what she said.

However, even if William didn't believe what she said, he would probably agree.

Because a man of destiny like William must be very confident that she, who is now seriously injured, poses no threat to him.

And he wanted to see Shi Ye so much.

As Gu Jinlan expected, William nodded and asked her, "How did you contact Master Shi?"

Gu Jinlan said, "Give me back my equipment. I know you didn't throw it away. Let me contact my friend, and my friend can contact Master Shi."

William laughed, "Are they the friends who escaped from that place with you? If I'm not mistaken, you contacted them to ask them to rescue you, right?"

Gu Jinlan didn't expect William to see through her thoughts so easily, and denied: "I hope so, but I don't know where this is, how can I let them come to rescue me? And you will definitely stay by my side, how can I convey my intentions to them in front of you?"

William did not comment. He put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his lips. "Are you full?"

Gu Jinlan looked at him puzzledly.

He said, "After you're full, I'll take you to contact your friends."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "I'm full."

It seemed that William was more confident than she thought. He clearly saw through her thoughts, but still let her do what she wanted.
