The phone jolted me from a dead sleep. Utterly exhausted, I fumbled for it and answered without even glancing at the caller ID.
“Hello?”
“Is this Ms. Shen Shu, wife of Fu Shenyan?” The voice on the other end was formal and clipped.
I mumbled a confirmation, my eyes instinctively flicking to the clock on my phone. It was already two in the morning. Who would be calling at this hour?
“And you are?”
