A night had passed, and the attempted assassination of Xiao Ming while Cao Bangxi was holding him hostage remained unknown to those who should not know, but almost everyone who had the means to know was aware of it.
Thus, even before the sky was fully lit, Xiao Ming was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone.
Once he answered, Zhou Qingyuan's voice came through, "I'm downstairs at your place."
Xiao Ming glanced at his wife beside him, got up, went to the balcony, waved to the girl downstairs, and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"No. I rushed over as soon as I got the news. Are you alright?"
"That's perfect," Xiao Ming scratched his butt through his pants, "help me buy some breakfast from outside the community gate—enough for four… uh, five… no, make it six people!"
Xiao Ming sounded very helpless because he had just seen Yun Shi Yu and Shen Siyi's cars arriving one after another.
