After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qing returned to Liu Yufei's side. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Something came up at home, and I need to rush back. I won't be able to accompany you for the remaining two days, have fun on your own."
"Okay."
Liu Yufei could see that Zhou Qing was preoccupied and did not ask further. She only instructed, "Be careful, and contact me anytime if there's anything. I'll always be here."
Leaving the café, Zhou Qing hailed a car and headed straight for the hotel to pack his things before immediately making his way back to Anzhou County.
All along the journey, his mind was burdened with heavy thoughts.
The situation was indeed very strange.
Approaching noon, the car pulled into the station. Chen Wen had been waiting at the station entrance for a while. Upon seeing Zhou Qing coming out, he quickly ran over, eagerly saying, "Brother Qing, you're finally back."
"What's the situation now?" Zhou Qing asked.
