Even Though You Are Crazy.

"You knew? " Yu Yan called after him but he was already gone.

But she only felt relief that he knew. She didn't like the dishonesty.

She wasted no time in opening his call list.

The list went something like...

Missed calls from -

The company

CEO Du

Secretary

Greg

Work

manager

Murong Jian

Shi Chongkun

Kevin

Etc.

Many Missed calls. .

Li Jun always had his phone on silent when he slept ,unless he was expecting an important call.

The only received call and the last call last evening was from an international number beginning with a US code. Li Jun had also dialed that number a few times this week .

There were no messages from that number.

She contemplated calling the number .

But then decided that she should first check the message app on Li Jun's phone.

The messages unread was overwhelming.

Li Jun had a lot of friends. And after marriage he had not kept up with them.

One message from a Kevin in particular was disheartening.

This Kevin had asked Li Jun ,if he would be free this weekend and when he did not get a response from Li Jun, this Kevin got mad.

He had written:

[ Li Jun don't get lost in your woman's skirt. Call me NOW!!]

Yu Yan frowned after reading that particular text.

Other text were about work matters. And then a suspicious one from Murong Jian.

Murong Jian wrote :

[Bro I am really sorry about that evening. Please don't be like that. My parents are scolding me everyday. Have some mercy on your childhood friend] And a crying emoji.

Yu Yan was confused and scrolled below.

Murong Jian wrote:

[I am sorry bro, tell sis in law that I am sorry .. really, I didn't think bringing Nie Ting to the party would cause so much trouble]

Oh.. So it was Murong Jian who invited Nie Ting and not Li Jun. That made so much more sense.

Yu Yan scrolled down and didn't find any suspicious text messages , most were from work and others from Li Jun's friends asking him when he was seeing them.

Finally, done with it, she called the US number. It rang and a man picked up.

"Hello?" He said

"Ummm may i know who this is?" She began.

The man was confused and checked the caller ID. It was indeed from Li Jun's number.

"Isn't this Li Jun's number?" He asked in English.

Yu Yan was stumped. The man was an English man?

"Yes.. Li Jun. I am wife" She brought out all the English she knew.

"Wife? Li Jun's wife?" He asked again.

"Yes.. Yes.. Me from Bei...China. This from where?" She asked again.

"Aaa" He didn't know how to reply. It was already weird that she was calling from Li Jun's phone.

"Hello? Hello?" She called.

"Ah yes ,Mrs Li . I am Dr Sam Davis. I am speaking from San Francisco" He answered slowly and politely.

Yu Yan nodded in confirmation... unfortunately Sam could not see that.

"Doctor? You a doctor?" She asked loudly hoping the man in the other end would understand her better.

"Yes. yes I am a doctor" Sam also yelled back politely trying to make her understand better.

Li Jun was leaning hands-crossed, against the door to the closet watching this scene.

"You are not woman? where the woman?" She asked the question of the hour.

Sam Davis didn't know how to respond.

Li Jun massaged his temple tiredly.

"Hello? Hello?" She wondered if the line had gone bad.

"Ah yes! ma'am" Sam Davis replied to let her know that he was still on the line.

"So you are woman?" This husky sounding person was a woman?.. Yu Yan got angrier.. But didn't know how to scold someone in English.

"Ah no! I am not a woman. I am Sam Davis.. a doctor here in San Francisco" He clarified.

Oh that made much more sense...

"Alright. So you calling my husband last night?" She asked.

But before Sam Davis could respond, the line went dead. He wondered what had happened.

"That's enough babe. You are going to get late for work" Li Jun said lightly, taking the phone from her.

" Ummm the call.." Yu Yan said timidly.

"Its fine. I will explain it to Dr Sam later. Don't worry and go wash up"

"En.. please pass me a glass water" Her voice was hoarse.

Li Jun gave her some water and sent her on her way.

As she disappeared into the bathroom Li Jun opened his phone and checked the recent activities. Thankfully she only checked the calls and messages.

Li Jun then typed a code and the screen of the phone lit up... revealing the s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e messages he really had received and sent.. Pictures of research projects, text about people he had had killed, Pictures of Li Chen at the hospital, Pictures of body parts of his enemies, text from K and T...

He dialed a code and turned the screen off.. took off the password settings and placed the phone on her side of the table.

He followed his wife into the bathroom..
