Three hours later.
The sky gradually brightened.
The sunrise in Qinghua City was as pristine as ever, as if it could cleanse away all the sins and filth of the night.
On Wenchang Street.
A man named Xu Hongliang, wearing an old-style duckbill cap and a face mask that only revealed his eyes, appeared somewhat flustered and scruffy as he bought breakfast.
Then, upon seeing the patrolling officers nearby, he immediately became a bit nervous and quickly walked in the opposite direction.
Lin Yuan had repeatedly warned him to act natural and not to expose any weaknesses.
They were not trying to attract these officers, so they absolutely couldn't arouse their suspicion.
Having been a straight arrow all his life, Xu Hongliang would not have ended up on this path had his wife not pushed him too far.
Now, facing these officers, no matter how desperately he told himself not to be nervous, he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
Elsewhere on Central Plains Road.
