The last number was simply saved as an emoticon. It was the emoticon of a house.
Yu Lili recognized the emoticon straightaway. It meant "home." She flipped the phone open and made the call. Based on the calling code, the number came from a small city in the Kang Province.
Kang Province wasn't very far from Kingstown. Yu Lili had stayed there for a period of time when she was vacationing. It was a pleasant little city.
The call was answered quickly by an old lady. As though very agitated, the woman had a tremor in her voice as she yelled over the phone, "Hello? Laowu? It's you, Mi Laowu? Are you home?"
She was speaking in Cantonese. Yu Lili could understand it.
Laowu*? Was Wen Fenglin the fifth son in his family?
Yu Lili cleared her throat and raised her voice to be heard through the line. "Hello. Do you know someone by the name of Wen Fenglin?"
