The early morning sun shone with vitality, but Lin Feng was now fretting about how to explain last night's whereabouts to his mother.
"Yesterday, Teacher Xu received Mom's inquiry call, and only then did she go to Sister Tongtong's place to look for me. With that, I can't tell Mom that I stayed overnight at Teacher Xu's place for tutoring. Right, I don't know if Mom asked Zhang Zhen. I should give him a call to check..."
Upon leaving Jinou Residential Complex, Lin Feng went to the convenience store across the street in the old residential area, pulled out one yuan, and used the payphone to dial Zhang Zhen's home number.
At the same time, Hong Fangfang, who just stepped out of her house diagonally across from the convenience store, recognized Lin Feng making a phone call there.
"Is that Lin Feng? I remember his home isn't in this area! What's he doing over here so early in the morning? Who's he trying to call?"
