Jiangli saw the contact information and immediately called.
Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng anxiously waited for news beside her.
After the call was made, it took a while for someone to pick up.
A frail old man's voice came through.
"Who's this?"
The moment Jiangli heard the voice, she knew it wasn't Su Ming.
Her heart sank instantly, but she patiently asked, "Excuse me, is this Su Ming's phone number?"
The elderly man on the other end trembled as he spoke, "Who are you, and why are you looking for our Mingming?"
Jiangli replied, "My brother is his friend. My brother recently had some issues and wanted to reconnect with his old friends. Is Su Ming at home? Can he come to the phone?"
The old man choked up and muttered, "He's not here, not here... Our Mingming passed away last year..."
With the speakerphone on, Xia Xin and Yan Guofeng immediately heard this sentence.
Both of them shuddered.
Yan Guofeng's eyes were filled with panic.
