It was 11:00 p.m. by the time Lu Bancheng drove into the apartment building's underground parking lot. As he opened the car door and was getting out, his cell phone vibrated in his pocket. Thinking that it was a message from Xu Wennuan, he was not in a rush to look at it. Instead, he locked his car and walked over to the elevator.
Lifting his hand, he pressed the up button for the elevator before digging out his phone and biometrically unlocking it. Looking at his phone screen while walking into the elevator, he then looked up to press his floor number and back down at his phone screen. It was not a message from Xu Wennuan but from Wu Hao.
"Bancheng, do you have some time to spare? I want to have a chat with you."
After Lu Bancheng finished reading the message, a new notification popped up on the screen. It appeared Wu Hao had sent more than one message over the last hour.
