Yun Qiqi paused for a moment; wasn’t she on a plane? How could someone make a phone call here?

She glanced at her signal bar; it surprisingly had a signal. Yan Yan’s plane...is truly high-tech!

Looking at that unfamiliar number, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

She answered it, and heard Doctor’s voice from the other end: "Qi Qi, are you alright?"

Yun Qiqi froze, her back instinctively straightened.

She shut the bathroom door, her tone flat and emotionless: "I’m fine, what’s the matter?"

Her indifferent attitude wasn’t anything new, Doctor didn’t mind at all.

His tone remained gentle, with a hint of probing: "I heard you took a part-time job, is it with Yan Shi Group?"

Yun Qiqi lowered her gaze slightly, her delicate fingers tightened around the phone.

Indeed, Doctor knew.

Shi Yunshen was right; they would find out sooner or later.

"Yeah." She replied blandly.

Doctor fell silent for a moment, then spoke earnestly: "Qi Qi, society is very complex. I was always wary that Yan Yan would find you, but didn’t expect...it would happen so quickly."

"What?"

Doctor seemed to hesitate a bit before speaking: "Nothing, anyway, Yan Yan isn’t a simple person. Although he’s young, his methods and cunning...are terribly fearsome. Even our Boss has suffered losses at his hands, you should know."

"His kindness to you might have another motive, or perhaps...he just sees you as someone’s stand-in."

Yun Qiqi thought of the widely spread stand-in rumors within the company upon hearing this.

She initially thought Yan Yan was generous, but it seems...he was prepared long ago, just for Doctor to find out these things?

And Doctor also seemed convinced she was just a stand-in.

The thought flashed by, her dark eyes remained unwavering, filled with calm, she spoke softly: "I’ve heard about the stand-in matter, he also told me some other things..."

"But rest assured, I won’t believe a word he says."

However, Doctor didn’t feel reassured, rather his tone became more urgent: "No, Qi Qi, this matter is very complicated, beyond what you can imagine. No matter what, don’t trust him, and don’t trust anyone else. Best to stay away from those people, I’m afraid Yan Yan might do something terrible to you!"

Yun Qiqi was silent for a moment, then said: "I understand, I’ll...think about it."

Seeing her relent, Doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good, anyway, if you encounter danger, remember to seek our help, I’ll ensure someone assists you."

"Qi Qi, don’t forget your special identity. You are a treasure many people would go to any lengths to obtain."

His tone seemed to imply something, Yun Qiqi furrowed her brows, before she could think deeper, she then heard him continue:

"By the way, your testing time is almost due, return in a couple of days."

"...Alright."

After hanging up, Yun Qiqi lowered her gaze, her eyes slightly narrowed.

She stood before the mirror for quite some time, before heading back to the room where Yan Yan was.

Along the way, for some reason, her mind kept recalling what Doctor said earlier.

Even knowing well that his words weren’t trustworthy, she still felt a slight unease within her heart.

His reluctance to speak clearly...

And that agitated tone when he told her not to trust anyone, it didn’t sound fake in the slightest.

All these made her especially concerned, and exceptionally uneasy.
