"Waiter, bring me ten of these, twenty of these, and yeah, a lot more of these..."
In the women's clothing store, Jiang Xu was buying all kinds of stockings rather extravagantly.
All the pieces that An Nuonuo supposedly liked.
Besides the typical white, beige, and black ones, there were also fishnets, knee-highs, thigh-highs, and garter stockings.
And then there were the ones with diamonds, alphabets, or JK-themed black stockings.
Jiang Xu bought at least ten and up to forty or fifty of each.
After all, stockings were consumables.
It couldn't hurt to buy in bulk, they were sure to come in handy later.
Jiang Xu left, carrying a massive bag, under the somewhat unusual gaze of the shop assistants.

In a hotel private room, Chen Tian dialed Jiang Xu's number again and, after realizing he'd been blocked, sensed that something was wrong.
Just then, his personal secretary rushed in from outside, exclaiming, "Boss, something big has happened..."
The secretary was articulate.
