About ten minutes later, Xia Wan'an received two messages from Ai Jiang.
The first one was the location for late-night snacks.
The second one was a text message: "How about 10 p.m., I have something else to do before that. Is that fine with you, Wan'an?"
Xia Wan'an replied with a "grinning" emoji, then as usual, she kindly responded with a message: "Sure, sure."
…
At ten o'clock in the evening.
Xia Wan'an arrived on time at the place she had agreed to meet with Ai Jiang.
Ai Jiang was already waiting inside. Seeing her come in, she immediately stood up and greeted her: "Wan'an, over here."
Xia Wan'an returned the greeting with a smile, walked over, and sat across from Ai Jiang.
After the pair ordered their late-night snacks, Ai Jiang immediately took out her phone and transferred money to Xia Wan'an: "Wan'an, I've transferred the money to your Alipay account. Please check."
Xia Wan'an nodded, responded with a "Mm-hmm", and gave her phone a glance for good measure.
