Xie Wanying is a bit afraid now that if she says anything more, she'll immediately give herself away in front of Senior Cao.
On the other end, Cao Yong seems to have guessed her thoughts, changing his approach to inquire, "When are you coming back?"
She can roughly answer this question. Xie Wanying replied, "I'll be back in the next couple of days, so you don't have to worry, Senior."
"Really?"
"Yes, really." Xie Wanying didn't realize anything was wrong with her response, saying she could come back in the next two days, and Senior Cao should be reassured like Senior Brother Yu.
Cao Yong pondered whether to share his conjecture, unsure if it might scare her. Her family was hospitalized, and her claim of returning in two days only indicated one thing: she and her family were likely in the Capital. Hence, his Little Fool Junior Brother Huang's afternoon guess was right. Her phone communication might have been cut because she boarded a plane.
