"Why did the car stop?" Ying Jiuming asked, puzzled.
"You can get out now." Huo Beijiang stretched his hand to open the door, and directly, taking advantage of Ying Jiuming's unpreparedness, pushed him out of the car.
Almost the instant Ying Jiuming got out, Ning Di tacitly stepped on the gas, and the car shot out like an arrow released from the bow.
Ying Jiuming swallowed a mouthful of exhaust fumes and jumped up and down, cursing loudly.
"Huo Beijiang, you bastard, you wait for me!"

In the dead of night, Nan Fei was sleepily shifting in bed when she faintly heard the sound of a shower coming from the bathroom. She was so startled that she sat up abruptly, instantly wide awake.
There was only a dim nightlight on in the room, barely illuminating the area beside the bed.
Nan Fei sat on the bed, listening intently; the sound of the water became more apparent.
It was as if someone was taking a shower in the bathroom.
