"Miss Zhang, where are you?!" Chuanli's urgent voice was heard in the quiet hallway.
Tungmei could tell from the urgent voice that Zhang Liling was needed immediately and hurriedly informed him, "Hello! My friend Liling is in the restroom. Do you need me to pass a message to her?"
Chuanli moved his phone away from his ear to glance at his screen with a confused gaze. Confirming that it was Zhang Liling's contact he dialled, he placed the phone back on his ear.
"You are Miss Zhang's friend, Tungmei?" Chuanli asked for clarification.
'How did he know my name?'
'Is he that close to Liling?'
So many thoughts were going through Tungmei's mind as she responded to him. "You are correct, I am Tungmei."
Chuanli sighed. "Are you two still at the club?" He asked.
"Yes..." Tungmei replied and peeped inside the restroom to be sure that everything was fine with Zhang Liling.
"How is Miss Zhang, can you ask when she will get back home?" Chuanli inquired.
The daggers Mr. Fang was throwing at his back with his eyes, was getting stronger.
Tungmei thought for a while before replying, "I have no idea, she is not feeling too well. I will ask her to return your call as soon as she steps out, if that is okay wi... Zhang Liling!!!"
Tungmei didn't get to finish her conversation with Dr. Li after hearing a loud banging noise coming from one of the stalls.
She screamed Zhang Liling's name in fright before ending the call and throwing her phone inside her bag, and rushing into the restroom.
Chuanli who was at the other end of the phone looked anxious as well. He heard the faint sound, before hearing Tungmei shouting for Zhang Liling.
"What happened to her?!" He asked, but it was too late. The call had already been terminated.
Bolin was surprised when Chuanli ended the call without speaking with Zhang Liling. "What happened to her?"
"I don't know. Her friend already ended the call before I could ask." Chuanli replied as he moved his gaze away from his phone.
Mr. Fang sneered with his hands in the front pockets of his pants. "Did she get into a fight?"
Bolin swallowed hard, while Chuanli had a look of surprise on his face, which forced Bolin to explain things briefly to him.
"Miss Zhang has gotten into a fight in a shopping mall before," He whispered.
Chuanli looked stunned at that revelation as he glanced between the two men. One nervous, and the other looking frightening.
'This girl...' Chuanli cried in his heart.
Turning to Mr. Fang, he said, "I don't know what happened to her. Anyway, I'm going to bring her back."
"I will follow him!" Bolin said immediately whilst he stole a glance at Mr. Fang.
He would rather follow Chuanli to go and bring back that troublesome girl, than to stay in the same space as Mr. Fang who was nothing less than an explosive at the moment.
Mr. Fang took a few steps forward and stopped right in front of them. Then, the corner of his lips slowly rose, before he walked past them and left the room.
"What was that smile for?" Chuanli asked as he patted his chest. He looked more apprehensive than before.
"I don't think there is any use finding out for now. Let's go and find Miss Zhang. Do you have the address?" Bolin asked.
Chuanli immediately turned to lead the way out. "We will find out on our way out. I'm only hoping that she didn't get into a fight, otherwise this will be a difficult mess to clean up!"
*********
"Liling, open the door! Are you alright?!" Tungmei asked as she hit the stall door Zhang Liling walked into.
Zhang Liling who was sitting on the floor, held her forehead while whincing in pain.
She had just hit her forehead on the stall door while trying to find her way out.
After sitting to pee, she had stood up and felt that her world was moving in circles, which made things look far from her.
She thought the stall door was still far, and had to butt in with her head for her sight to become clear.
Zhang Liling was in so much time that she didn't have the opportunity to respond to Tungmei's question. But she was later forced to say something when Tungmei started banging on the door and trying to kick it down.
"I'm fine! Stop kicking the door before you make my condition any worse!"
She sounded annoyed as she shouted just so Tungmei could hear her in the middle of the noise she generated from screaming her name and kicking the door with her legs and hands.
Tungmei heard her response and stopped kicking the door. Leaning her ear on the door, she asked, "Are you sure you are fine?!"
"I'm fine! Just leave me alone for a second!" Zhang Liling said while rubbing her forehead with a frown on her face.
Tungmei refused to tolerate her as a big frown laced with worry sat on her face. "If you are fine, why are you not coming out? Are you not done scaring me?"
Zhang Liling tried to sit up while replying, "Leave me alone for a moment, I don't want to come out!"
It really looked like she was no longer tipsy. The force she used to bump her head into the door, must be great.
There was no way Tungmei could take her response lying down. She was worried and just wanted to see her to make sure she was fine, but what was she saying about not coming out?
Tungmei refused to listen to that, and immediately threatened her while taking out her phone from her bag.
"If you don't open the door, I will call your father and report your condition to him, or would your stepmother be better?"
Zhang Liling heard that and was not moved because she didn't think that Tungmei would do that.
She pouted as she continued to rub the red patch area on her forehead.
Tungmei was surprised that she was refusing to come out. She sighed and was about to put her phone inside her back when a call came in on her phone.
As she tried to position the phone on her hand, her fingers accidentally swiped to answer the call. Luckily, she was quick to glance at the caller ID to see that it was from the same, Dr. Li.
Zhang Liling thought that things were going smoothly until she heard her phone ring, and Tungmei, answer the call.
"Yes... We are at xxxx club. She drank a little too much, and fell from dizziness.... Yes..."
