The elder's voice didn't change, nor was there a hint of surprise, "I know it's you. Start with the main point. I suppose you know what I want to hear."
Wen Jiaren confirmed that the person on the other end was who Ruan Mei had directed her to find.
She said, "I think you should recognize the owner of the dagger in my hand. This dagger was given to me by my master. Now, you should know who I am, right, Ji Shigou?"
On the phone, Wen Jiaren mentioned something that only Ruan Mei and Ji Qing knew back then, which finally elicited a woman's voice that sounded barely able to suppress her excitement, "I've finally received news about her."
Wen Jiaren said, "I want to meet you, right now."
To her surprise, the person on the phone said, "I can't meet you now. I'm being watched. Don't do anything for now; wait for me to shake these people off. I'll contact you."
Before Wen Jiaren could stop her, the other person hung up.
